Today is Culture Day
Throughout today, hold in your mind the thought and ideal of inter-cultural harmony, respect & understanding
The idea: Every Thursday spend a few moments in silence sending positive thoughts and energies to all cultures, tribes and the collective global community as a whole. Say some prayers if you feel inspired to, visualize sending golden/white light to all cultural bodies around the globe and see the world show inter-cultural harmony; send out positive and uplifting thoughts to all people around the world, or even better―take some action in your immediate environment to help yourself and humanity master all lessons pertaining to the Fourth Ray of Sociology, Culture Cooperation and Conciliation on a personal, national and international level.
In short: Throughout Thursday, hold the thought and ideal of inter-cultural harmony, respect and understanding.
Getting started: In order to help you better tailor, specify and direct your energies, prayers, consciousness and service work please visit the respective Fourth Ray news feeds and web links which serve the purpose to give you a quick overview of the most topical issues on the theme as well as some research suggestions. In addition, for your consideration we have uploaded some respective movie clips and have brainstormed some general Fourth Ray issues that need to be addressed by humanity.
