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?
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 spirit, if 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

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

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

"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
