Yoko Ono Lennon - New Year’s Eve Message 2008/2009

ON ENTERING THE AGE OF JOY

This last day of the year 2008
All of us can come together at www.IMAGINEPEACE.com 
To enjoy spectacular images from the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER - LIVE - from Reykjavik, Iceland 
- a special program made for this day.

        On New Year’s Eve, The IMAGINE PEACE TOWER will be lit from: 
                Reykjavik: 5pm to 10am
                New York : midday to 5am
                Los Angeles: 9am to 2am

As we enter the New Year, we will be watching the IMAGINE PEACE TOWER and its warm light together. 
Know that our light will be sending the light of love to all planets of the Universe as well. 
On this day, I wish to express my love for all of us, including other beings on Earth.
 

AFFIRMATION FOR 2009 AND BEYOND

Thank you, thank you, thank you
Our planet is healthy and whole
Every part of the planet is revitalized and healed.

We, the people of Earth
See clearly, Hear clearly, Think clearly.
Express and communicate our thoughts clearly
Spiritually, Mentally, and physically.

For the benefit of ours and other planets’
We make the right judgement, right decision, right move 
at the right time and the right place 
for ourselves and others.

We are now bathing in the light of Dawn 
Standing in the Heaven we have created on Earth.
We now wish to share this Age of Joy 
With all Lives in the Universe.

We are all one, united with infinite and eternal love.

For the highest good of all concerned, So be it. 
 

Yoko Ono Lennon

Think PEACE, Act PEACE, Spread PEACE.

    

IMAGINE PEACE TOWER is an outdoor work of art conceived by Yoko Ono in memory of John Lennon.
It is situated on Viðey Island in Reykjavík, Iceland.
The artwork was dedicated to John by Yoko at its unveiling on October 9th 2007, John Lennon’s 67th birthday.
IMAGINE PEACE TOWER symbolizes Lennon’s and Ono’s continuing campaign for world peace
which began in the sixties, was sealed by their marriage in 1968 and will continue forever.

My wish is that people will enjoy the simpler things in life. To take the time to smile & say hello to a stranger, to listen to music, read a book, cuddle with a loved one, watch the changes in the earth around us (sunrise, sunset, flowers & trees blooming, snow falling…). Especially in these stressful times, we need to appreciate what’s around us; what we have and not what we don’t have.

Yoko, greetings & a peaceable hug.
..I wonder - if the Peace Light had a twin beam, might it be aligned with Vidney Island, through the Earth’s core and emerging at the precise antipodal
spot on the other side of the globe?

…Imagine the Milky Way spiralling galaxy…our Sun is found close upon the inner rim of one of the two spiral arms -the Orion Arm - within a region of
interstellar gas known as the Local Fluff…

…What if - the twin beams were activated on December 21, 2012(the Mayan Long Count end date) as the Sun enters into the galactic ecliptic plane? Imagine that a colossal energy circuit is completed and…peace becomes.

Must admit, that from time to time I get caught up in resisting war. I become angry at my nation’s support of force to accomplish goals, and fight against supporting such actions. Sometimes, like today’s fog shrouding the light of peace, I lose my way.

Then your voice cuts through the darkness and reminds me that peace is the natural state for humans, and all else is propaganda for all those ’special interests’.

Visualizing peace is the positive side of resisting war. Resistance only breeds more resistance. Being able to see a peaceful outcome, while also seeing the passing moment’s reality means avoiding denial while supporting peace.

Keep reminding us.

Thank you.

In peace,

Arye (Leslie) Michael Bender

I used to hear it a lot , I can still remember how it hurt and still hurts when I heard that John Lennon was shot and killed.

Another year over an new one just begun…..the words take me back to a time where both Yoko & John united to bring Peace to the world. Memories of being an 11 year old boy when I first hear the ‘Hit’ “Please Please Me”, I was brought up without TV, too young to see the Beatles in Melbourne, Yet many years later through a friend, I came to know George Harrison personally. George came into my life and on meeting me told me we had a connection and we went back a long way. He also confided in me he had given his heart to Christ. This is not a doomsday message, the answer is simple, LOVE, Love ourselves, Love our neighbours, Love our fellow countrymen, Love those in far off countries. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
The times we are experiencing is due to man’s corruption and Love of MONEY, which has proven to be the “Root of all Evil. IMAGINE a world without Money, without it we would be helping our neighbours, we would have Love. Sadly the things we are now experiencing due to Corruption, Corporate Greed and damage to our beautiful environment, are all predicted in the living word of God. If you are serious about Life, Peace and Love, all you have to do is start to Love everybody and believe that God sent his one and only Son into this world so that we could have Eternal Life, Eternal Peace and Eternal Love Forever.
The Choice is Yours! Change yourself, change the world and have a Fabulous 2009.

Morgine’s New Years Wish ~ 2009

The New Year approaches for each of us as we experience the changing of seasons and the transformation of our world. In reality, I feel every moment is like each year. Every breath we take offers yet another opportunity for change and transformation. Life is endless like the ocean, the air we breathe, the sun’s rays, soil composting debris into rich loam again and again and again.

We are Timeless Beings, choosing to transform ourselves, like the soil, into something rich and new, and it is only a Thought away. Remember this now, here in this ever present moment. Tomorrow we will pretend to begin yet another year and make promises and commitments we might or might not keep. We might have a list of goals to accomplish, or dreams to bring into the light of day. Yet time stands still, when we stop and breathe, and let in yet another deep breath of truth, of love, of peace, of ever lasting joy and happiness.

Creating a new world requires only your desire to have a new dream, right here, right now, in any new moment. You have everything you need and nothing is missing. What we lack is the remembrance of our Infinite Power and Incredible Magnificence! We have forgotten that walking on water and stepping through walls are but small feats for tiny minds. Sharing our unique gifts, stepping into our Brilliance, sharing our Biggest and Most Beautiful Dreams are what life is all about! We are being called to deliver them with the courage we know we have deep inside ourselves.

As Maryanne Williamson said so brilliantly … “Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. ……playing small does not serve the world. …And as we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. …our presence automatically liberates others.”

So as you stand ready to embrace this new year and every new day, remember … Every Moment is an opportunity to say YES to Yourself and Your Own Unique Dreams! Remember who you truly are! An Extension of the Divine Infinite Presence alive in everything! There are no seeds planted in you, which cannot grow to maturity! YOU are Brilliant and Magnificent and Unique Enough to accomplish any Dream you might have. Communities are growing once again and we can help Support each other’s dreams and create a Brighter, More Incredible World, than we might ever be able to Imagine before.

Let us live on the edge of a New Adventure where there is nothing too small to be insignificant or too large to be overwhelming! Everything is a particle of Creation, a piece of the Divine matrix and we can Dance with it all!!! Live your UNIQUE AUTHENTIC ESSENCE beginning today! Add your One-of-a-Kind Brilliance to this Magnificent World, because we need each and every part!! We need the smiles, the hand to hold and wipe our tears, as much as we need the mountains and towers, and magic oceans of love to surround us now!! Love Yourself, Love Each Other, Love Your World and Everything In It! Become the Inspiration Today and Every Day! Live Your Essence, Live Your Unique Self for a Change!

Endless Love & Magic, Peace & Joy, Morgine

May the light of life shine on all mankind and, through acceptance and compassion, transform what looks to be a dismal 2009 into a dazzling one.

All blessings to you, dear Yoko, for your unwavering commitment to self-expresion, peace, love, understanding and unconditional belief in the power of “Yes.”

Many people dismissed the 60s as naive for believing music could change the world. But I think those who believe music can’t change the world are naive.

Hello Yoko and the World. Here is wishing you a Very Happy New Year and a great 2009! (I love you Yoko and always have.) The spirit of Lennon shall always live in my heart and soul. Despite how things seem now, I believe that reality can always be changed. Because “While there is life, there is hope.” Just imagine and work for a better planet and it will come to pass. Love and Peace are the answers not greed and selfishness. Take care.

God Bless You, Yoko, for all you do for Peace. The Imagine Peace Tower is an awe-inspiring tribute to John, a work of art and beacon for peace.

We must all believe peace is possible and we must all do what we can to feed the hungry children of the world. Through loving and caring for all living things of the earth and the universe, peace will grow and thrive.

Pray for the victims of aggression and the soldiers of the aggressors.

On Jan. 20, 2009, there will be a gathering in the streets of Washington, DC that the world could not have imagined a few years ago. Millions of citizens who believe in hope, in peace, and in America. A man of many colors, a man of peace, will be sworn in as America’s new President. Hope is alive! God Bless America!

Please pray for President Barack Hussein Obama’s safety and the safety of his family. Pray for peace and joy on that day. Pray for Universal Peace every day.
