Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.

The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.

Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the true nature of who we are.

Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems and create new options.

Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN. We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Positive News was handed the guardianship of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.


In The News…

Arabs & Jews Rally For Reconciliation
(An Eyewitness Report From A Participant/Organizer, Eliahu McLean)
ISRAEL - Many grassroots initiatives are happening in the Land of the Prophets that
can give us hope for peace. One such event was the recent Sulha gathering in the Galilee. From June 30th to July 1st we held the third annual Sulha gathering in the olive groves near the Druze village of M'ghar. Joining us were over 1500 Arabs and Jews, including 200 children. International guests included John Qhuzulini Sithole - Zulu traditional activist, peacemaker, and artist from South Africa; Farah Gaye - a Sufi sheikh from Senegal; and Geshe Thubten Phelgye - a member of the Tibetan Parliament in Exile. Ongoing events included a welcome center, women's tent, children's space, art tent, a kitchen and a stage with live music.

The Answer My Freind, Is Blowing In The Wind...
DENMARK - So what's the question? The question is hinted at by the gas station signs which are increasingly embarrassed to advertise their skyrocketing prices. The Question is "When, Where, How and How Soon Will We Get Over Our Oil Addiction?" How? The Answer My Friend, Is Blowing In The Wind. Or so it would seem if you were arriving in Copenhagen by sea. Your first glimpse of Denmark is the Middelgrunden Wind Farm, a row of 20 enormous wind turbines gently spinning above the waves nearly two miles offshore. Middelgrunden is the world's largest offshore wind farm, dominating the views from Copenhagen's docks and seaside parks. With blades 100-feet long, its wind machines generate enough power to supply 32,000 households. It's a fitting introduction to Denmark, a nation of 5 million that has emerged as the undisputed leader in wind energy.

Druid's Reduce Traffic Fatalities On Austrian Autobahn
AUSTRIA
- Inexplicable reoccurring traffic accidents along certain stretches of highway? When everything else fails, call up your local Druid. That's what they did in Austria and the fatal accidents dropped to zero. In a two year secret trial, the Druids used a divining rod to inspect a 275-metre stretch of the A9 autobahn in Styria, Austria and determined where to erect a series of huge one ton monoliths of white quarts along the road to restore the natural flow of "earth energy." The results? Fatal accidents fell from an average of six a year to zero. According to Gerald Knobloch, and archdruid who oversaw the experiment, "I located dangerous elements that had disrupted the energy flow. The worst was a river which human interference had forced to flow against its natural direction. By erecting two stones of quartz at the side of the road the energy lines were restored." Knoblock explains that the pillars had a similar function to acupuncture.

Guest Editorial
The Awakening

--Author Unknown

A time comes in your life when you finally get it...when, in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out - ENOUGH!

Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on.

And, like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum, your sobs begin to subside, you shudder once or twice, you blink back your tears and begin to look at the world through new eyes.

This is your awakening.

Many of us believe that it is time to transform America and transform the world. The Common Society Movement has been created to do just that. We do this through a change in consciousness. What we need is consensus, not a plethora of special interests pulling in every direction. We need vision, not empty gestures. What we need is a PROCESS we all can have faith in, because we all participate in its evolution and manifestation.
