Your perspective is important and valuable. Every person has something that could be useful and appropriate to convey that would help someone to make this a happier, healthier, and more peaceful place. You don't need to be a "teacher" or "leader" or anything "special". Just being a concerned and attentive person is plenty special enough.
All you need to do is care and pay attention. So go ahead if you are guided or feel to take part and offer a practice, teaching, story, or anything that can help. And if not today, then perhaps at some time in the future.
You can send an email directly to or use the contact form to submit something. A direct email is better for anything more than a few lines. Everything offered will be evaluated. As much as appropriate and reasonably possible will be included.
Following are Questions and Answers. They should cover most things. If your question is not answered here, then please ask.
Q. Does it have to be religious or spiritual?
A. No. It needs to be real.
Q. Is there anything that should be a major focus?
A. Yes. Practical application. Things that can be experienced are essential. This which users can attune to are especially useful. Example of these include chant or recitation, spoken offerings, and music reflecting the Real. Simple actions and approaches which people can accomodate in their busy daily lives are very important to include. Theory and philosophy is fine for what they are but they don't operate in the field of experience and realization. There is still plenty of room for information. However, if you offer something of theory, please try to include something that illustrates it which can be done or felt, and tends to increase capacities.
A song, music, sound, nature meditations, and other actions and approaches through which peace and healing can actually be experienced and transmitted are very much needed. Some of the specific areas in which there is need for writings and practices include those that are gender specific, occupational and business related, deal with helping the environment, age specific, political - on many levels, and deal with the reduction of conditioning. Walks, sound work, dream work, teaching stories, contemplations, and activities easily incorporated in living and dealing with others all can have profound effects. Please also be aware that issues of human rights, poverty, and hunger are essential to be dealt with as part of the immediate healing process. Everyone can do something in these areas.
The key is to provide material that will both appeal and be effective at the correct time and in the right manner and also can be instrumental rather than philosophical only. Stories of actual people doing actual things of help - actually showing peace, healing, and justice in action - are very powerful. There is a huge amount of general material and very good written matter "out there". There is much less that can be tried, felt, and applied.
Q. What are the criteria for submitting something?
A. First - in almost all cases - you should have experienced it yourself. Untested theory has no place here. Make sure you know it works through your own personal experience. Then, and only then, (unless you have some very solid inner knowing) offer something if you are guided or intuit that it is right to do so.
Q. What else is needed other than the things above?
A. Resources available now for someone to experience, feel, breathe, and catch a sense of Universal Peace, and ways in which to become a more active and efficient healer - for him or herself, others, and the planet. This includes links to other sites. Also needed are names and contact information of people doing work in these areas. This is so someone may actually connect with a human who can be of assistance; and then possibly learn and also help.
Q. What kind of resources?
A. Things like healing efforts, dances, peace walks, global concentration, prayer circles, and writings. Just consider it the best you can prior to submitting it.
Q. Will everything offered be included?
A. Generally no. Each item will be evaluated for appropriateness. We will try not to duplicate something already here. However, if you have been specifically invited to offer something, it will be included.
Q. Where will this material go?
A. It will be posted on the world-light.org web site with the permission for anyone to mirror it, copy it on their own site or to print it and use it.
Q. What form should writings be in?
A. If you know HTML coding, it would be wonderful to offer it that way. Otherwise, if special headings, sizes, or formatting is needed, put it in something like Word. Send another copy in plain text also.
Q. How about audios?
A. If at all possible, put it in .mp3 format. If you can't, then .wav. Proprietary audio formats should be avoided.
Q. And photos?
A. .jpgs or .gif. If you can, size them so they are at 72 dpi and no larger than needed. Please do not send huge image files. That means how they usually come out of a camera with no adjusting. We can also use flash.
Q. Can I specify where or how my submission is be used?
A. No. Whatever it is, we will try to work with it appropriately.
Q. Will my name or the name of the source be used.
A. Other than incidentally, generally no. Everything will be anonymous with the rare exception of work that really needs to include some name, such as one of the Prophets, etc. or something actually needed for reference. Of course, names of people and organizations will be used in the resources section. This includes web site, books, and other material.
Q. How about reference to a path or teaching?
A. In general, no references will be made to path, teaching, religion, or biographical information with the submission. Sometimes this will come out in the writing or work.
Q. Why? Wouldn't it be useful to know the source?
A. Hopefully, this will lead people to focus on the value of the submissions rather than the submitter or path. No one person is The Leader in this work. Everyone is needed for Peace and Healing in the World. This is a very large cooperative effort.
Q. Is there anything else that should come with a submission?
A. Please include your name, e-mail address, and a phone number to reach you.
