Pangea Day ripples

Spiritual resource to share: your experience




"Our purpose now is to build a global community - to learn to view things from an international point of view." "We need peace without conditions."

Such were just some of the provocative ideas shared on Pangea Day last May 10th. For those of you who saw any or part of Pangea Day, you'll know what I am talking about. For those of you new to this idea, click here. This initiative is well-intentioned, intentions I really support and hope to grow.

My son and I caught the last hours of the four hour event at our nearest university. We saw clip after clip of films focussing on all that we have in common with the human condition: what is good as well as what is not.

As we were soaking this up, it reminded me of how Mary Baker Eddy defined the moral qualities of humanity, honesty, affection, compassion, hope, faith, meekness, temperance. She categorizes all of these qualities under the heading of transitional qualities. And all of these qualities showed up one way or the other in the films.

So what would the expression of these qualities be transitioning to? Mary Baker Eddy explains the next level as spiritual/as reality. The understanding of this includes wisdom, purity, spiritual understanding, spiritual power, love, health, holiness.

There was a lot to think about after the four hour film fest ended. It was quite hopeful. Peace and understanding take a lot of work, a lot of unselfishness, a lot of getting rid of ego toward a greater good. It was inspiring to hear people's stories and know that it can be done.

Pangea Day provided a stage for proactive peace-making diplomacy and understanding. It did much by bringing together our common hope for humanity: peace, progress, understanding. My hope is that efforts like this continue and grow, to transition into even more widespread actions for peace and progress.
