I am passing along this thrilling response to my post about the History Channel show. Can’t wait to watch the film she recommends:
Dear Suzanne, I must tell you of a powerful movie I saw the other night, Pray the Devil Back to Hell. This documentary is about the power of prayer, of women (Liberia, Africa), and determination, and, above all, faith in prayer. Thousands of Muslim and Christian women in war torn Liberia changed their world, and put a woman president into office for the first time in Africa’s history. Mostly it was, for me, a validation of women’s role as leaders and teachers of the prophecy of the return of the sacred feminine, and how, against such great odds, greed, diamonds, money and power (patriarchal rule) they persevered through prayer and song and dance and mostly their hearts to stop war in their country. I found this documentary on Netflix. It is a must-see of inspiration and truth of prayer, and, again, women’s role to bring peace. We were and are the peacekeepers after all, and need to come together to begin to be heard. Much love and gratitude, Barbara Threecrow
This brought tears to my eyes. Such a gorgeous example of something ‘outside the box’ (see our blog’s column left) that we could be trying, where the government could rally the country (or the UN could rally the world) to try collective prayer to bring about a new reality. The moment of silence that was observed every day at noon, in England, during World War II, is thought possibly to have prevented the country from being invaded. And, in recent years there have been experiments done, with scientific protocols, that indicate there is real power in collective thought. Worse that could result if humanity gave this a try would be that nothing would ‘happen’ at some grand, collective level. But, even if there wasn’t a measurable result, can’t you just get the feel for how people’s hearts would open for having taken a moment every day to think thoughts of peace and love?
Can’t resist a PS — another communication I got that was a LOL:
I’m enjoying the series – I thought you looked fine, although I did notice it was strange filming you from above. I do love your movie – Michael Glickman IS a Love! I do like your Ideas ‘out of the box’ – I couldn’t improve on them and will vote for you for President! Although being President doesn’t seem to be a good way to get anything done. Must think of another way. Love and thanks, Dottie Lutz
Well, just one more — from my dear buddy, Professor of History and Humanity J.Paul de Vierville, who’s in my movie, who said, “You speak as the Thomas Paine of Crop Circle Culture.” If you see a gal with leaflets on street corners, check if she’s wearing a crop circle T-shirt.
