We all shine on… #imaginepeacetower
thank you John.
Dear Yoko, i am handicapped (Dyslexia) . I have worked in homes for handicapped people (children, adults). Also in the USA 27 years. Now I am slightly older then you. The message to John: A teacher can experience after his death, what his “pupils” do, here on earth. With John it will be: “peace on earth” as the angels where singing 2000 years ago! Slowly the earth will turn into a shining star. The earth will become a being, which we mankind as God create.
Happy Birthday, sorry to late yours Alwin
John Lennon is a legend in the world, we hope that his family was always good and healthy … from Indonesia
I can’t sing Imagine without crying. Love John more than ever.
When I was in high school, the Beatles burst upon the scene and took the world by storm. I watched their America debut on the Ed Sullivan Show on our small TV in my parents bedroom. The Beatles were the soundtrack of my teenage and early adulthood years and they left their imprint on my life forever. I awaited each new album like it was a new testament proclaiming Love, Joy and Peace to the world. When I saw the photo in Life Magazine of the Beatles in India studying Transcendental Meditation (TM) with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, that photo changed my life. I learned TM myself, became a TM teacher, opened a TM center on Long Island, and taught TM full-time for 10 years. I am who I am today, an international spiritual teacher, largely as a result of the Beatles learning Transcendental Meditation. The day I heard that John had been killed was one of the darkest days in my life. I rushed into New York City on the Long Island railroad and joined the crowd standing in vigil outside the Dakota. With tears streaming down our cheeks, we sang “Give Peace A Chance” and collectively mourned the passing of a great light from the world. But, the passing of a great soul like John does not extinguish the light that he so brilliantly radiated during his all too short life. The music lives forever and the torch of John’s life is carried on by his loving wife, Yoko, and his devoted son, Sean. We love you John, Yoko and Sean. That love will never die.
We miss you John, You’re spirit music still lives on!
PEACE!
I love him, he’s my best idol. I have no words to describe him. Thanks a lot Yoko to keep him alive in our minds and hearts, thank you
IMAGINE- all the people living life in PEACE. Please share your inner sunbeam, for you are the human sunshine, forever fragrant, the blossom.
You were and are an icon of our City John, so from scouser to another, peace be with you always, such an inspiration, sending many blessings Yoko.

Yes, Love, John, 9, -0^0-
Thank You John. Thank You for opening me up to a world of possibilities. Because of you i have the knowledge and the power of love. I can think for myself and love and care and rock out all at the same time. I have passion for peace and passion for love and love for love and music. Thank You.
I have always admired John Lennon and his music and my only wish is that I would have been able to meet him in real life however I didnt get the chance but whenever I hear a song of his I always wish that he was still around to actually sing it. I would have loved to see him in a concert. I absolutely love Imagine. To this day I still “IMAGINE” many things but peace is my number one.
You will always be missed, I pray for peace everyday
I did not know you, but I know you. We are all connected – we are one big family- and our natural, healing state is peace with love at the core. My love to you – John and Yoko. Thank you for the constant movement of peace. It has and continues to make all the difference in the world. xx
I will never forget when I heard that John had been murdered. I was in my brother’s Volkswagen bug and I heard it on the radio and I pulled over and just cried. I could not believe somebody could just take him from the world like that. I have always had a connection to his music and lyrics. That next year my grandmother died and I had a dream that my recently deceased grandmother introduced me to John Lennon. I was starstruck in my dream. I didn’t know what to say except, “You’re dead” and he stated, “I know a lot of people think that but I’m still with you.” The only thing I could think of to say was, “I love your music” to which he replied “Thanks” and that he had to go. I woke up feeling as if I had met John Lennon. I don’t know how my grandmother knew how much I loved his music, but I do believe he lives on within all of us.
Yoko, thanks for keeping John’s legacy alive and pure. you are the heart and soul he has left behind to carry on….. Bless it Be
Sure miss John after all these years…Never had the pleasure of meeting him..Being from the deep south with its moral and moree’s his personality gave me the ability to look beyond…I’m forever grateful..
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY YOKO ONO you know that I love you: as you put it: i ii iii
Every day is a Mother Earth day for me. My Mother’s day song is “All we are saying is give peace a chance”. Last Fathers’ day I simply jingled with my six years old niece WE LOVE FATHER JOHN.
Today I am simply sending a joyful greeting musical tune to my Nutopian mother Yoko Ono who could simply and sincerely bath me with the creative, intelligent, true and simple love she gave to john as a wife and to Sean as a mother.
John and yoko raised thousands of mother earth daughters and sons: red, black, yellow and white. Their songs moved with the wind to reach teenagers, youth and kids: east, west, north and south. In 1973 they created my conceptual country Nutopia.
There is no need for leadership in Nutopia. It is an entity governed by the cosmic law. Once you recognize that you are a child of Mother Earth and Father Universe then you naturally become a citizen. Freedom is guaranteed for me to fetch for other universes if interested to broaden the view. There is no limit in the sky.
Citizens of Nutopia do not need governmental records. Each of them is a strand in the web of life by nature. The cosmic law that is governing Nutopia with complete success does not need bureaucracy, government, police, security agents, army, etc. The sun shines and sets for free, the wind blows for free…etc.
A citizen of Nutopia is an ambassador for a peaceful country simply because war can be easily over if you want it to be over. There is no need for war in a country that has no borders.
Personally I am a citizen of Nutopia with Multiple Sclerosis chronic disease. It is caused by an internal war in the human body. Body cells declare a funny war. The reason for this war is not discovered yet.
Naturally born in a family with two medical doctor sons I was given a perfect medical care. In the beginning of my MS attack story I got completely paralyzed. Medical care helped a lot, but it was not enough. My medications had serious side effects like depression, suicide tendency, fatigue… etc.
Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry, music, literature, political views…etc. Was and still is my vital breath. HE IS MY UNIVERSAL GURU DEV who is among us in Nutopia.
Native American musical meditation was and still is a joyful treatment that the wind naturally delivers to me in Nutopia. His Holiness The 14th Dalai Lama’s spiritual assistance was and still is basically vital in my case. Now I can easily hike, walk, run, climb the stairs…etc.
I asked my doctor if he can medically tell in case I can make it and get fully cured. He smiled to me and said yes The MRI can show it. I smiled back and assured him saying: “YOU are the doctor not me. Nowadays I am using the song “ALL WE ARE SAYING IS GIVE PEACE A CHANCE” for my meditation. I am only concentrating on my body cells. He asked me some questions. He scheduled my answers. I hopefully left.
I am more active, joyful, and is more fun to be with “as little niece Noura put it”.
HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY YOKO ONO you know that I love you: as you put it: i ii iii HAPPY EVERY DAY NUTOPIANS THE WORLD IS ONE: A FACT
MY FACEBOOK IS BLOCKED I DO NOT KNOW WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!
“My brother, your heart was broken, your journey was hard. Rest. I open mine to you–take refuge there. Rest. Whatever light is there is yours to take with you when you rise again. Rest. A guide for you on your way–you are never alone. But for now…rest.” TM Davidson 2013
