The Worldwide Oneness Share-mony

(from www.celebrantusa.org)

When and Where:

At 12 noon on Inauguration Day 2009, Tuesday, January 20th in Washington DC, according to the 20th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Barack Obama will become the 44th President of the United States. On behalf of Celebrants worldwide we invite everyone on Earth to come together wherever you may be and take a moment out of your day and consciously send up into the atmosphere “good vibes” to mingle and mesh to create a great big, multi-colored wish umbrella as we bring in and ring in our intentions for a unified world where healing, peace and compassion is possible for all.

Together we can make a better World
These (below) are new translations of verses by Ralph Alan Dale from the Tao Te Ching, written by the master Lao Tzu, from a century before Socrates. Verse 54, takes us out from ourselves to the world, on our humble mission as humankind to help heal the world via this ceremony and to unleash the power of people sharing our world-wide wish for peace.

Verse 54: THE WHOLE IS IN EACH PART

Whatever is planted deeply is not easily uprooted.

Whatever is embraced sincerely does not crave escape.

Ever since we lost our intuition as our main guide in life,

these virtues have had to be consciously cultivated to survive.

Cultivate them in yourself and they will be genuine.

Cultivate them in your family and they will surely flourish.

Cultivate them in your community and they will be long lasting.

Cultivate them in your country and they will be widely propagated.

Cultivate them in the world and they will certainly become universal.

In this way you will know others by what you do yourself.

You will know families by what you contribute as a family.

You will know the world by what you do as a planetary citizen.

How do we know all this?

Because we know that each part is the whole,

and the whole is in each part.
