Happy 4th of July

How have you been doing? We’ve missed you!

Last Saturday was a beautiful day with so many great stories to tell. It was great seeing the sun with us for a change. Not only did we have an AMAZING Free Hug campaign, we also help a memorial to the recently deceased Michael Jackson, peace be with him.

As for ourselves at the company, we’ve been very busy putting together the upcoming book signing for the new Golden Rainbow Villages book. And as we promised, you will get an exclusive discount when you come to the Golden Rainbow Villages book signing and save money on the Golden Rainbow Villages book!

If you haven’t yet, add it to your schedule- Tuesday, July 7, 2009 at ISE-NY gathering at Muriel Stockdale’s place, 88 Greenwich Street. 24th floor(corner of Greenwich and Rector Streets – 1 train)

Please RSVP so that Muriel can put you on a list at the front desk. Email goldenrainbowvillages@gmail.com

As for 4th of July, you are all invited to join us right after Saturday Free Hugs on Staten Island to watch fireworks, candles and food (yes food!).  We’ll be leaving between 7:00 – 7:30pm to catch the ferry.

We look forward to seeing you again.

To establish a government that works:

(extract from Golden Rainbow Villages book)

There are many forms of government that are possible, some of which have already been tested in reality. Yet, so far, we are yet to find the perfect form of government that could rule justly. Perhaps the problem isn’t finding a government that works, but rather finding the right government for us. A totalitarian dictatorship, for example, would be the perfect form of government for ants, but it would not work for us.
The common belief that republic democracy is the best form of government, but it is now becoming clear that the American republic is being played with by a handful of elites using the so-called democracy to manipulate themselves to power. It can only be concluded that republics are not apt enough to truly represent the public’s opinions.
So what is the best form of government? In my opinion, it is none other than the dreaded anarchy our governments seem so scared of. Anarchy, it  must be noted, is not the absence of order, only the absence of a solid government. To achieve an anarchy would be very difficult, but a chalenge of many rewards it is.

Anarchy is sometimes inaccurately defined as lawlessness and disorder, but its simple definition is “without a ruler.” So, it does not mean the absence of order, as is commonly supposed, but the absence of rule (coercive authority, hierarchical organization.) An anarchist society would be organized from the bottom up by voluntary cooperative participation and association of its individuals.

Back and big

Hello everyone!
It’s been a long week, but at last with the weekend here we can have some fun again. Our astrologist tells us that the weather is going to be fine and that we should use turquoise for protection. We’re not sure about the second part, but we take the news as a very good sign

So Saturday we are going to appear en-mass and show people we’re still fighting for New York’s soul. We also have a candlelight ceremony arranged for later in the evening in memory of one famous pop star who passed away only recently.

Bring some candles and lets share the light together.

Then on Sunday we’ll gather around for Free Hugs in Time Square. Last week we managed to take over, and even the police officers couldn’t resist getting Free Hugs.

And finally, the infamous Golden Rainbow Villages book signing is looming closer and we are very excited about being involved in the publication. Furthermore, we are so excited we will be giving all of YOU a special discount for

Newsletter members, just to show how much we appreciate the great feedback we’ve been getting from all of you.

You are invited on Tuesday, July 7, 2009 to celebrate the launch of Golden Rainbow Villages book in New York City at ISE-NY gathering at Muriel Stockdale’s place.

Location: 88 Greenwich Street. 24th floor

(corner of Greenwich and Rector Streets – 1 train)

Please RSVP so that Muriel can put you on a list at the front desk. Email goldenrainbowvillages@gmail.com or call 937 532-5523

The idea of The Golden Rainbow Villages book came from the collective Vision that +Elijah- originally wrote and has continued to be collaborated by Jasmine LoveLsTzy, Robyn Bridgett and Solomon Seagal as well as many others from all over the world who shared how they felt they could change the world and make it a better place for everyone.

You are doing beautiful work

Hello again my friends!

A week has come and passed and so much has happened. Unfortunately because of the weather Friday Free Hugs was called off. But we assure you that be the weather nice and shiny come Saturday we shall be out there bringing cheer to the world!

I’d like to tell you about something that happened to me a few days ago. I was sitting at a coffee shop people watching and thinking about all that we’ve been doing in the last few weeks. It always amazes me that NYC still remains one of the most discontent cities in the world. We have so many different elasticities here, yet we have such terrible racial differentiations. We celebrate democracy, yet we have so few freedoms.

I realized there is so much wrong in this world, so much chaos and so much destruction. I looked down the street and saw countless thousands running around ignoring one another. I saw over one thousand people and not one smile!

How can so many people be so impersonal? How can we have no such interaction? How come we don’t spare even one smile to another human being? Are we that cheep that we can’t afford one smile to someone we don’t know?

With these thoughts in my mind I payed for my coffee and went to do my business. But as I was walking down the street myself, I glanced at a random person standing on the side. To my surprise I slowed and gave him the best smile I had that day. To my total amazement he smiled back!

A smiled alone cheered me up.

And that is what we want to tell you guys. What we are doing is more then just cheering a few people up. It’s more then helping the poor or making a political point.

WE ARE MAKING A CHANGE!

We are doing amazing work here, and it is almost a duty for us to do it! It is out mission to bring people closer and help them realize their potential. It is our job to bring change to the city of New York so that that change will spread to the rest of the world!

Imagine a New York where everyone is accepted, where no one goes unheard and everyone can be happy! Welcome to our vision.

Saturday was a Rave

WOW!

This last weekend was no doubt amazing. We were joined for the Free Hug campaign with the silent rave, unfortunately not sponsored by (but maybe next time…)

It was amazing watching so many people coming together in love and friendship. For those of you who were not there and do not know what a silent rave is about- a silent rave is when a large number of people bring their iPods and all dance together to their own beats. As simple a concept as it sounds, the event quickly evolved into a massive party and celebration (do we need a reason?).

Also in the news is the Golden Rainbow Villages project, which is finally coming to a conclusion! We are very proud to announce that we will be having an official book signing on July 7! Doors open at 7:00 PM at Muriel Stockdale’s place on July 7, 2009. More details are coming soon!

Well, if you still want to know more about the silent rave, or if you want to relive some of the moment from Saturday, here are some pictures!

Good news everyone

Good news everyone!

Our Free Hug campaigns have been such a success that we want to expand with more free and entertaining activities! Of course we are overrun with working on the current number of campaigns, and the number of requests we are getting is starting to be overwhelming, even for us!

As well as Free Hugs we’ll be soon starting a new and experamental campaign. So far we can only reveal that it is called the “give or take” campaign. Testing is going on right now to see how effective this campaign could be and we will keep you posted on how it goes. What we can say so far is that it is a unique idea that is almost unheard of, especially in New York City. It looks like it’s going to be another revolution in the making!

On to our Free Hug news, as we announced earlier this week we are now having Free Hugs on Friday AND Saturday. This Friday we will begin in Union Square at approximately noon, then at approximately 6:00 PM we will have a small group head down to Wall Street, we need 2-3 volunteers for now.

Saturday we will have Free Hugs once again in Union Square at noon. Then at 6:00 we will move the party to Time Square where things are going to be PACKED! I don’t know how many of you have been to Time Square recently, but I can tell you that the tourist season this year is not going to disappoint! It is our duty to send the Free Hugs and message all over the world! Please join us for a whole lot of fun and excitement!

As for angel walking. We know many of you are excited about trying it out. We keep getting complaints by people looking forward to having it and then we disappoint. But we reassure you that we will soon have out angel walking organized soon! For those of you who do not know what angel walking is read about it here.

These are exciting times. Things are beginning to happen and events are beginning to unfold. Soon the entire face of New York is going to be changing, and we are going to be in the middle of it!

We look forward to seeing all of you there again!
