A Commitment to the Task of Peace


Entering the Commitment
A Sure Path in Reduction of Crime and Violence in our community begins with you. All the great teachings of the world echo this: to know thyself is to know God.
A spiritual path to foster the reduction of crime and violence invites us all to go deeply into our own self-study to bring about the greater works of that special thing we turn to in Faith-Practice.

The Wholeness of Humanity
As human beings we are interconnected into one homogenous whole. Unification with our neighbors is much deeper than the physical interaction. Every thought and emotion affects the harmonics of community. Through commitment to reduce our own personal violence: hatreds, angers, judgment - alas our fears, we set into motion a higher vibration for all humanity.

The Key to Peace
Your commitment to a path of peace for you and all humanity is, in actuality, an easy thing. The Higher Presence which sustains and maintains you in its care is Peace itself. Your endeavors to release the bonds of negative thinking through the process of your personal Faith-Practice draws you closer into that Peace. This is the key to reducing crime - and violence - throughout Chicago and beyond.

The Daily Practice
The Faith-Based-Practices to Reduce Crime in Chicago is a six-week commitment of daily practice. Your commitment not only brings a greater peace to you, it also fosters happier living for every individual of our community.
