THE WORLD FORGIVENESS PROJECT:

My name is Steve Robertson and I am the founder/CEO of Project Peace on Earth, LLC. (PPOE).  I have dedicated my life to helping create world peace. I am also the creator and Executive Director of Project Peace On Earth's (PPOE) the World Forgiveness Project scheduled for this Christmas Day, December 2013 from Bethlehem. 

THE PROJECT PEACE ON EARTH (PPOE)  MISSION: is to harness the power of sacred/inspirational music and then broadcast it worldwide from sacred sites in order to inform and empower more compassionate, loving and wise thought processes.  We are focusing our peace initiatives within the Middle East, and specifically, the Palestinian / Israeli area of conflict.


Can there be a more important place to bring about a lasting peace than to the Middle East Palestinian / Israeli conflict?

THE POWER OF MUSIC: 

Why sacred music so important?  Why will it make a difference? “People say that the soul on hearing the song of creation entered the body but, in reality, the soul itself was the song…Music should be healing, music should uplift the soul, music should inspire; then there is no better way of getting closer to God, of rising higher towards the spiritif only the music is rightly understood."  The great 14th Century Sufi Master Hazrat Inayat Khan, in his book "The Mysticism of Sound and Music" – considered by many to be the bible on music.

We believe that sacred music has the power to inform a new spiritual awareness within the heart and mind of its listeners.  Such new thought processes can lead to greater personal and collective states of inner peace, compassion, forgiveness and love so that outer peace is made more possible and real. 

“All that we are is a result of what we have thought” – Buddha

“The ancestor of every action is thought.” – Emerson

“As a man (“Man” – a Sanskrit word for Consciousness) thinketh in his heart, so is he.” King Solomon, the Bible. 

PERSONAL FORGIVENESS GLOBAL IMPACT: 

A global social-media campaign encourages people worldwide to submit forgiveness messages via The World Forgiveness Project Facebook page:

- Photos of loved ones over whom individuals are suffering a loss and/or want to forgive - Art and Poetry - Written lists of judgments, grievances, heartbreak and/or anger towards other people, institutions that they are choosing to forgive, release and heal.

Palestinian Forgiveness Ambassadors place forgiveness messages received from around the world on the Art Structure:

Ambassadors are video taped as they acknowledge, read and document each message of forgiveness. - Musicians inspire and empower the Forgiveness Structure building process and placement of messages. - Native American elders and Spiritual Leaders help facilitate the ritual healing and cleansing of each thought-divide. (Navajo and Hopi elders have already confirmed their support and participation in this ceremony).

"Steve Robertson is the quintessential global peacemaker." - Caroline Myss, National Best Selling author, Anatomy of the Spirit. 

THE WORLD FORGIVENESS CEREMONY

At Dusk, the “Art of Forgiveness” structure now covered with: photos, art, poetry and lists of wounded thoughts is readied for the fiery release of wounded and judgmental thoughts so as to empower a new transformational beginning of greater love.   Palestinians, and others who have traveled from around the world, surround the “Art of Forgiveness” structure. People cry out and choose release and forgive. 

WORLDWIDE IMPACT

Your contribution will empower over a 100 million viewers to partake in a united opportunity to forgive and live in greater love.   People from around the globe will watch Bethlehem’s televised and webcast star-studded inspirational concert. 

As the last note of the Bethlehem concert crescendos, and simultaneous broadcast feed then switches live to Gaza.  

Here, the world now watches the fiery ceremonial release of forgiveness as an art structure is ignited and burns to the ground while.  Here, some 1000 people, each holding a light for peace, gather to form the words “Forgive All”.  

BROADCAST/WEBCAST

Video walls connect the audiences at the Gaza Ceremony and Bethlehem Concert. From orbiting space, a special satellite brings to the world, the ceremony from Gaza.

Satellite imagery captures the moment of our world united in Forgiveness and open to new possibilities of love.

"Robertson does not merely write about a vision of peace and personal empowerment, but he has lived it on the world stage.    Robertson is a living avatar on whose shining example our future may depend." - Larry Dossey, MD New York Times bestseller HEALING WORDS: THE POWER OF PRAYER.

"Diane and I have known Steve Robertson for many years.  We deeply respect, appreciate and support his important international peace work and sacred music concerts.  - Gerald  (Jerry) Jampolsky, M.D. and Diane Cirincione, PH.D.; Best Selling Authors and Speakers.  Founders of International Center for Attitudinal Healing.  Authors of " A MINI COURSE FOR LIFE." 

IF WE DON'T REACH FUNDING GOAL:

If for any reason we do not reach our entire funding goal we will simply rescale the production to meet the scope of what funds we have received. In such a case, we will first begin by reducing the number of musicians we fly into the live events.  Instead, we will either beam them in via a live broadcast/webcast or plug in a pre-recorded performance from the talent into the live broadcast feed.  We have a successful track record of accomplishing such, plan B and C’s, scenarios.

BACKGROUND EXPERIENCE OF SUCCESS!!!

Over the past several years and over the course of Project Peace On Earth’s work in Palestine, I  have developed deep working relationships with the Palestine Government and Private Sector leadership: Mayor Vera Baboun of Bethlehem, Governor Abdel Fattah Hamayel, Honorable Rula Ma’ayah (present) and Khuloud&nbs
