Though we are many, We are ONE
From every corner of the globe
Talking all of our fabulous tongues,
From every walk of life we come
From East, West, North and South
From every direction we come
To join together as One
Though we are many, we are ONE
Our cultures and cosmologies differ
Our customs, habits and rituals differ
Our clothes, jewellery and food differ
Our homes, hair and make up differ
And yet for all these many differences
We are the same, our cause is One
Though we are many, we are ONE
The way we pray, and where we pray
The words we use and direction we face
The gifts we bring and we receive
All may seem different to the casual eye And yet there can be but one Creator Whom we have all learnt to serve Though we are many, we are One
Our diversity brings many bright hues
To this our land of green and grey
Here our aim is wide inclusiveness
Rather than other’s narrow exclusivity
For to include is to honour and love
To accept, welcome and to receive
Though we are many, we are ONE
Today, our hands are joined
Our thoughts, joys and sorrows joined
Our hopes and our wishes are joined
Our friendships and families are joined
For we come together as one
To learn from each other as one
Though we are many, we are ONE

Social media going wild
Just a quick thought about the social media...
How much time does the average person invest in the upkeep of their sites and connecting with others?
I see the social value...but the claim to it having monetary value is questionable?
The value I see is that one is able to build a social profile that people understand what you stand for; what your aims are: and what you are doing to meet them and pretty well building an image of you and your enviroment.
This attracts like-minded people and enbles one to go into lively debate about one's world view.
The opportunity to expand one social circle to places;that one would normally not get to know one another; to me is the most exiting aspect.

I salut the speech of:-
Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle JeanAddress to the Business Women’s Association of South Africa
Pretoria, South Africa, Wednesday, December 6, 2006
I am also extremely impressed by the exceptional work of women who have no academic background, some of whom are illiterate, but whose commitment to the well-being of their communities is remarkable.
They enrich their fellow citizens with their good judgment, their knowledge, and their wisdom.
They are key in creating social consensus around difficult, but unavoidable, issues such as family planning, physical integrity of girls, violence against women, access to education, food security, crime prevention and environmental protection.
I must say that I am particularly touched by the way all these women, from such different horizons, can pool their efforts and work towards the common good.
I have always believed that the real power of women lays in their capacity to put forward at all times the human dimension of any given situation. Women nurture that sense of togetherness and foster a strong community spirit.
Empowering women is empowering a nation.
Let’s say it together …
The idea is to believe that we are making a difference. We must seize every opportunity to speak out and to participate fully in the development of society.
We must believe in our dreams and turn them into reality.
We must always believe that everything is always possible.

"If you make the unconditional commitment to reach your most important goals, if the strength of your decision is sufficient, you will find the way and the power to achieve your goals."
Robert ConklinTeacher, Author and Speaker
The world's greatest LIGHT PROTEST will take place on August 7th 2008 - one day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. At least 100 million people from all over the world will light a candle and say YES for freedom in Tibet!
The Campaign started on facebook from the desktop of David Califa, 52, a retired private individual with an investment banking background, from Ramat Hasharon, Israel. Mr. Califa has been financing it with his own private funds. "Candle for Tibet" has quickly developed into a global movement which operates from a multilingual (25 languages, all translated by volunteers) web site with its own social network alongside.
Mr. Califa has now joined forces with members of Unity Network, a global movement acting to unite and promote love between human beings regardless of their color, nationality, sex, religion or politics. Tibetan diva, Yungchen Lhamo, has recently joined "Candle for Tibet". Miss Lhamo, who is recognized as the "Voice of Tibet", will lead the campaign with her divine voice, music and spirit.
To date more than 500,000 people from well over a hundred countries signed in.
"Candle for Tibet" asks people to put the candle in their windows, desks, or anywhere else where other people will see it and hopefully do the same. Many will participate in candle vigils throughout the world. The light protest is expected to be seen by billions on TV screens all over the world on the day the Beijing Olympics open.
On the following day letters will be issued to every head of state in the world reporting how many people from his country wish Tibet to be free, and demanding that each one of them will act for the freedom of Tibet.
Reasons why Candle for Tibet's light protest is unique:
A light protest is a new global medium which enhances the power of one person to make a stand for a noble cause. It unites millions of people around the world, given a chance to act on a specific moment in time, for a single goal. It is by no means a virtual protest.
It heralds breaking down country boundaries in terms of democracy, and one's ability to 'vote' on an idea. And it brings hope.
It tells individuals, regardless of their nationality, sex, race, political views and religion, that if they unite behind an idea in today's age, they can change their reality.
It is the more significant and effective a poll to which world leaders can refer. (Angela Merkel and Gordon Brown were surely aware of public opinion in their countries regarding the Tibetan issue).
It was never done before (at least not on such a scale) It is non violent unlike many planned protests from now to the Olympics. It is also non profit.
The message is simple: Every human being who cares about freedom has a responsibility of lighting a candle. The act of lighting a candle, being personal and spiritual, is also viewed as a vote. Such massive vote that world leaders will not be able to ignore.

This is a story that tugs at my heart.
My name is Zee and I live in Israel on a suburb on the outskirts of Jerusalem.
At the time I was the owner of a coffee bar in a shopping centre. Being in an isle; I was positioned so I was always aware of the comings and goings in the centre.
One day I looked up and saw a young man at the top of the escalator looking confused. Eventually he came down an at the bottom of the escalator he physically pointed forward and then to the left and right before he decided what would be his next move. At that point there were tears streaming down my face. I pulled at my husband’s sleeve and said “Nobody in the world deserves to be so alone.”
I found out that he lived in protected accommodation and I phoned the institution and asked if he would like to work with me.
The workers were thrilled at my suggestion and came to check us out and sent him with a social worker to a job interview. Twi was twenty-eight years old; of Russian descent: spoke English; Hebrew and Russian and was regarded as being retarded. I saw before me a wonderful young man and he began working with us.
At first the community was suspicious but as they got to know him more and more people came to admire him.
One day another worker of ours girlfriend came and greeted her boyfriend with a kiss. He looked at her wistfully and said "For a kiss like that I would take the stars down from the sky.”
Two more of his friends approached us an informed us that unless we employed them as well they would go on strike.
It took a while for them to persuade the social workers to ask us if we were willing to employ them as well.
Eden was the Israeli Judo champion (Special needs Society) and Ami was Down’s Syndrome.
Ami’s social skills were poor when he came to work with us. He was incredibly shy and used to blush bring red every time a customer spoke to him. He was loyal and very persistent.
Ami had a superb memory. His memory for geography was phenomenal therefore he could tell the most interesting stories about travelling overseas. He was interested in cars and could tell you all the makes that were ever manufactured.
After the first year he went on holiday and on his return he was in a highly agitated state and bright red. He then blurted out “You know that nobody ever took me back to work for them after a year!”
I felt privileged to be able to make these people a part of my life and involve them in the community

What is Money?
What is Money?
Money is an agreement
The agreement may be voluntary or coerced, conscious or unconscious, and may fluctuate with time or remain fixed.
within a community
All kinds of communities--large and small; local, national, international, or virtual; cooperative or competitive--may create such an agreement.
to use something as amedium of exchange.
From: http://www.transaction.net/money/index.html Taken from the site of Bernard A. Lietaer who has most kindly agreed to be interviewed for Truemanity.
Since 1972 there is no material backing for currencies of the world. Money fulfills two functions being a standard of measure and a medium of exchange. People used to barter their services or goods before there was money.
Value is denominated in money units. Self-worth is often measured by how we are able maintain our families and life style. Financial security means having enough money not to be dependent on good luck or good will. We objectify the world and everything in it and we want to personally own what could be for many in our community to share (in order to be a caring community.) Our money system affects our emotions; relationships and can promote either greed and scarcity or generosity and abundance. Money is simply the agreed upon medium of exchange acceptable to all community members. Truemanitarians will measure their worth by the good that they spread around them; by their guts to wear their hearts on their sleeve and show their love; respect and caring to community members young and old.
Money is the instrument with which we run our lives. We want to use this instrument to enhance our community and nature; promote peace and justice as well as developing solutions to needs in the community. Our goal is to inspire you to take control of your life and participate with your community and imbue you with ambition and optimism to partake of the unlimited possibilities to create wealth.
In the past the belief was that hard work makes money. Today one sees that not necessarily so. Those that know how to arrange their life and work systematically according to certain universal laws can achieve all that they set out to achieve.
This is where the thought process – money connection comes into action.
Thought is the only power that can produce tangible riches by putting into creation creative energies. A person’s ability to think enables him to make and do anything his mind can conceive but he can take it a step further and connect and work with the powers of the universe. Many people in “The Secret” and in much of the religious doctrine have spoken about trust and faith.
Thinking is a difficult activity to sustain for a prolonged period. In order to progress we have to expand our consciousness and mind the desire to be and do more. The desire for riches is simply the capacity for a better life seeking expression.
We need to cultivate the habit of gratitude as acknowledgement for the life we live and for our capability to give of ourselves and draw our community together for our common good.
Wally Wattles Who wrote “The Science of getting Rich” said that “you must know what you want and be specific and definite.” Once you have formed your vision (set your goal) you must have faith that you will receive it.
By us achieving our vision it enables us to reach out and cooperate with other to bring about better conditions for all instead of competing against one another.
One must act with integrity; steadfastly believe and changes will start occurring from unexpected sources. By giving value to others they will want to work with you and the cooperation will improve the situation for you both.

Wisdom of choice – giving and receiving.
Truemanity came into being in order to fill a gap that exists in community structure; to support the community and give members a viable plan that is implementable. The intention is not just to talk about a new perspective but to shift the paradigm in order to make social change easier.
We as individuals feel we have no power to change the situation and think this is the natural order of things…………. the way of the world. We alter our values and accept the inferior to exist in certain areas of our life. Social structures are based on domination; egotism and competition.
Here we want to address the needs of the individual and the community. We want to create the “something else” that will enhance people’s lives. We want to turn the system around by example and encourage the community to start acting on a different level; a level of their choosing that satisfies their needs and that of their community.
The path we choose is positive interaction. We want to consciously move into the area of giving and receiving in order to satisfy our personal needs and the needs of others. We normally see giving as a way of satisfying someone else’s need or as an alternative in order to get back something for ourselves. It is also hard for some of us to accept a gift because it could make us beholden to someone.
We believe that we have created a new path; evolved a kinder way forward; created a new norm in order to restore human value.
These paradigms can be strengthened and promoted.
Now let’s talk about a subject that in many cultures is taboo to discuss with those that aren’t your closest…….Financial needs………………………….the need for capital to run one’s life. The ability to provide another person with an additional way of supplementing income may be considered a way of GIVING.This allows us to show our caring of each other establishing bonds of communication and community; enabling us to show recognition and gratitude to our community. To extend this further we will be promoting better understanding in the world.

Uniqueness of Truemanity
Truemanity’s innovative thinking and faith in humanity has brought our business plan to a point that it bridges a chasm between non-profit and for-profit enterprise running parallel and this has brought us into the lead; spearing a brand new category in business venturing. Aiming to make breakthroughs in personal development and give us great insight into daily running of our lives; the part we play in our community and the ability to participate globally to make a better world.
Our business networking has significant change in both idea developments; practice and effect on our business community. We are cause orientated with a mission to fulfill. Conceptually we are in a category of our own. We believe that it is good business sense to operate for-profit as a means of providing funds; for both the people participating in the network and to have money assign for non-profit projects; built-in raised by ourselves for the community and those issues we want to support. This is a practical, hand on and those participating will find it down to earth and relatively easy to disseminate.
We believe together we can operate within a framework that is set to solve problems that occur in the institutional framework that governs our economic structure. It allows our team members to act outside of the box with an upgraded mindset and agility made possible by a creative business plan.

YOU CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
On the birth of my adopted daughter. I am eternally grateful to have been given the gift of life by a wonderful lady; who put the well-being of her daughter in my hands. Who gave me the daughter that I always dreamed of and made my family complete.
A being
growing heedless
Unseeing
Feeling
Unplanned
but loved.
Loved beyond reason
having not foreseen
Wished for
unable to nurture.
Thought about in a mindful manner
Planned for but without attachment?
hopes for another being put before one’s own.
What strength is required
To carry out a plan so carefully conceived?
What heartbreak will follow
A deed so unselfishly followed to conclusion!
Knowing your dilemma
Wishing you strength
Hoping your decision is correct
for you and us.
We have much to be grateful for
Appreciate your predicament
Know you have spent
many hours in the small of the night.
As we have done
Thinking
Wishing
Hoping
Praying that things
might have been another way.
But we are simple human beings.
We cannot change what is decreed.
A seed planted that simply won't grow
Another that grew simply by mistake.
Together may we do right for a being
We both slowly grew to love
The miracle of life
Growing within your body
Growing as time goes by to my heart.
Both of us being mothers put us on a plain beyond the act of giving birth.
Knowing that is only the first step.
The rest of the way is long and hard
Full of giving and receiving
Reasoning the often unreasonable
Understanding the ununderstandable
Loving beyond both emotions
Laughing when all seems lost.
Building again when there seems no foundation
Renewing our priorities
Knowing we are lucky to have what we already have
Appreciating the life we have
Loving existence and going forward with hope.
A being
growing heedless
Unseeing
Feeling
Unplanned
but loved.
Loved beyond reason
having not foreseen
Wished for
unable to nurture.
Thought about in a mindful manner
Planned for but without attachment?
hopes for another being put before one’s own.
What strength is required
To carry out a plan so carefully conceived?
What heartbreak will follow
A deed so unselfishly followed to conclusion!
Knowing your dilemma
Wishing you strength
Hoping your decision is correct
for you and us.
We have much to be grateful for
Appreciate your predicament
Know you have spent
many hours in the small of the night.
As we have done
Thinking
Wishing
Hoping
Praying that things
might have been another way.
But we are simple human beings.
We cannot change what is decreed.
A seed planted that simply won't grow
Another that grew simply by mistake.
Together may we do right for a being
We both slowly grew to love
The miracle of life
Growing within your body
Growing as time goes by to my heart.
Both of us being mothers put us on a plain beyond the act of giving birth.
Knowing that is only the first step.
The rest of the way is long and hard
Full of giving and receiving
Reasoning the often unreasonable
Understanding the ununderstandable
Loving beyond both emotions
Laughing when all seems lost.
Building again when there seems no foundation
Renewing our priorities
Knowing we are lucky to have what we already have
Appreciating the life we have
Loving existence and going forward with hope.

Zee for Truemanity
My good friend's son decided to take his life two weeks before his twenty first birthday.
Ellie
What did you think when you saw all the people crying for you?
Did you think why now?
Why are they crying…when I no longer feel pain?
Do you not ask: “Do they not see what I saw! Do they also have no hope for humanity?”
Ellie
Do you think you had a monopoly on pain?
Do you not think your Mom passed a whole lot and survived!
Did you not think to ask her how she survived and why?
Did you not think that you would cause your family immeasurable anguish.
Ellie
Philosophy philosophy PHILOSOPHY
Just an excuse for not reaching out to others and saying “help me!”
What did you stand to gain by opting out without reaching out…
to those that love you
Ellie
With your sensitivity and reasoning power
You could have taken ……………ideas
NOT your pessimistic ideas
But ideas formed in order to change…
All that you saw that was hopeless!
Ellie
You did not know that thought brings about reality!
Were you too young to understand.. that the only reality is now?
Did you not understand that time is precious….
As you are to your family and those that love you.
As your Mom says:-
“Not a day goes by; not a day will go by without thoughts about you.”
Without longing for your presence
Without longing for the spark..
Wiped off your face
Your magical smile
All my love and caring….Zee
