Dear Beloved,

I cherish hearing about your genuine Christian experiences rooted in Scripture. Please refrain from sharing fantastical tales –

- I saw the Lord and we walked on the moon
- I went to hell and I saw sister Busybody and the Lord said her tattoo took her there
- Jesus said to me, 'Go walk on water' - 'Oh, you will drown!' Yes, I said so.

As someone committed to discernment and biblical truth, I set boundaries to protect meaningful conversations. I'd love to engage in respectful dialogue and explore Scriptural perspectives together.

Warmly,
Me

President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to fostering dialogue, reconciliation, and healing among all ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Tinubu made this commitment in a special message commemorating the 2024 Ogoni Martyrs Remembrance Day, conveyed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Reports say that Oil was first commercially discovered in Oloibiri, Ogoniland, in 1958. The subsequent struggles of Ogoni leaders to protect their environment from harmful oil exploration were met with severe repression, culminating in the tragic execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other leaders on November 10, 1995.

The President declared that he stood in solidarity with the National Youth Council of Ogoni People and all Ogoni citizens to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defence of the Ogoni nation’s interests. He said this year’s commemoration, themed “After Price, Comes Prise,” reflected the country’s collective commitment to acknowledging the pain and the lessons of the past as Nigeria aspire for a brighter future.

The self is an oral society in which the present is constantly running a dialogue with the past and the future inside of one skin.

One of the matters that must be addressed is that Rwanda and Uganda have to leave the Democratic Republic of the Congo. We're also supporting processes to ensure that the political dialogue among the Congolese themselves takes place so that the people there can decide their future.

Social Healing as an Emerging Field
Social healingis an evolving paradigm that seeks to transcend dysfunctional polarities that hold
repetitive wounding in place. It views human transgressions not as a battle between the dualities
of right and wrong or good and bad, but as an issue of wounding and healing. Thus a key
question driving the work of social healing is how do individuals, groups and nations heal from past
and present wounds?
Our view of social healing assumes a relatedness between individual and collective wounding and
healing. Unresolved historical wounds carried in the collective memory and collective
unconscious can, and do, trigger a complex array of conflicts. This transference from generation
to generation of victim-perpetrator dynamics often result in violent confrontation, war,
oppression, human rights abuses and terrorism.
This emerging field has many intersecting aspects and our exploration has been dialogic and
multi-disciplinary, including these areas:
•Worldview framing and analysis;
•Theory and practice of dialogue;

Themes Arising in the Field
I.Worldview Shifts and their Relationship to Social Healing
We interviewed professionals in the fields of international peacemaking,international mediation
and dialogue, racial healing, mindbody science, trauma recovery, evolutionary theory, social
development theory, social organizing, systems theory, psychology and consciousness research on
the topic of worldview and its relation to societal healing and transformation. This exploration is
a logical next step in this work since it is from understanding the structure of belief that we can
best map the healing journey for humanity.
Interviews were conducted with people as diverse as Dr. James Gordon whose Center for Mind
Body Medicine is doing innovative trauma work in such places as Israel/Palestine and Haiti;
Howard Martin, who is a scientist and senior researcher at The Institute of HeartMath; Sharif
Abdullah, founder of The Commonway Institute, which has collaborated in healing and renewal
initiatives in US urban settings and Sri Lanka; Marilyn Schlitz, President of the Institute of Noetic
Scienceswhich tracks emerging worldviews and the science of consciousness; Barbara Marx
Hubbard, leading futurist and evolutionary theorist; Mark Gerzon, a prominent leader in the
field of international mediation; Louise Diamond, international peacemaker and integral systems
theorist; Jean Houston, evolutionary evocateur; and Joan Borysenko, celebrated for her work in
integral medicine and holistic healing. (See Appendix A for complete list).
Here are some of the insights and areas of consensus that came from these conversatio

activists and academics. The dialogue work intensified from day-long interactions to longer
residential gatherings,which enabled us to work on issues of victimization, victim-perpetrator
entanglement, and the exploration of wounding and healing at a quality and depth which was
lifechanging for participants and facilitators alike. One of the dialogues involved a four day
process of daily Native American purification lodges and Native Talking Circle process. Many of
the participants had experienced torture, abuse, occupation, exile, racism and other forms of
oppression. To this day, the time spent together for those who attended remains a truly
significant benchmark in their healing journey.

radually social healing became the primary lens for Judith and James’s dialogue and inquiry
work. In 2002, a group of 25 peacebuilding professionals from around the world came together
in Cambridge, Massachusettsto explore the role of compassion in social healing. This was
followed by a meeting in Cyprus in 2003 asa way to move the work out of the United States,so
as to reflect the pressing international dimensions of social healing work,and learn on the
ground about creative work being done in other parts of the world. In 2004 we convened an
intimate threeday process on racial healing at The Institute of Noetic Sciences, while James was
president there.

etween 2007-2009, Judith facilitated dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian psychiatrists,
psychologists and social workers in an exploratory process of “mutual acknowledgment” with
James as an international participant and advisor in the work.
In 2009, we received a grant from the Kalliopeia Foundation to explore a synthesis of our
learning and investigate new concepts and practices in the emerging field of social healing. Our
process has been to examine in greater depth the role of worldviews in the formation and
transformation of conflict, and to learn from practitioners how they are understanding and
experiencing social healing. Areas of inquiry include: how developments in the new sciences
relatetoenergy fields, the impact of the mind-body health paradigm on social healing, and how
consciousness research can be applied to the work of social healing.
