Light a candle, and the light the spirituality in you today

We learn and we share, and thank God for the blessings, so many of us have moderated or toned our attitudes towards others, we are a little more inclusive than we were before. The more differing and opposing views we encounter, the more growth we see in us, which will bring a genuine balance in our approach towards life problems.

Real spirituality is connecting with what surrounds us; life and matter, meaning, you have learned to tune in with everyone. You are connected with everyone, and others are connected with the greater you like a round peg in a round hole. When you are spiritual conflicts fade and solutions emerge, and that brings genuine peace to you. It is worth raising ourselves from smallness to the expanse of the universe. The joy is immense!

Going through Gaza Crises, and asking my friends to keep this to a humanitarian issue has been a difficult one, but has been acceptable to most of you. If we cannot feel the sufferings of others, no matter who they are, there is a deficiency in our humanity. No matter who is right or wrong, we cannot justify or cherish the death and destruction of any human. Thank you for your belief in being a human first and making loyalty to your faith, nation or politics secondary to that.

Whenever you get a moment to ponder today, think about being spiritual and say a prayer for the victims of violence everywhere without favoring one over the other, and pray for guidance to those who need guidance to respect the otherness of others.

Light a candle for peace today.
Love the humanness in you!

The Foundation for Pluralism champions the idea of co-existence by respecting and accepting the otherness of those different from ourselves. The World Muslim Congress is committed to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam. Heavily involved in both, Mike Ghouse is committed to building cohesive societies and has produced outstanding public events to bring Americans together of different religions, ethnicities and races on common grounds of building a safe and secure America.

oncerned by the divisiveness, he saw the need to bring Americans together and founded America Together Foundation committed to building a cohesive America, indeed it is in response to ACT America which is bent on pitching one American against the other. We will be holding series of educational programs, conferences and workshops to address the issues that divide us such as Civil Right, GLBT, Quraan, Abortion, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, Racial Profiling and Stereotyping.

The Annual Unity Day USA is in its 7th year now, it is a purposeful event to bring Americans together, on this Unity Day, we the people of the United States of America of every faith, race, ethnicity, culture and background will gather to express our commitment to co-existence, unity, prosperity and wellbeing of our nation.

Thanksgiving Celebration is in its 15th year showcasing cultural diversity.

The 5th Annual Reflections on Holocaust and Genocides is to learn and to acknowledge and reflect upon the terrible things we have inflicted upon each other and commit to avert such tragedies. Through this event non-Jewish people have consciously learned about Holocaust for the first time, it was also for the first time that people of 14 faiths came together to join in to commemorate the Holocaust that commemorated within the Jewish Community for years. They are not alone anymore in their anguish, we are all in it together with them, and it is a Muslim initiative to effect a positive change.

The programs, seminars and workshops conducted by the Foundation for Pluralism have become a part of the America Together Foundation. While the Foundation for Pluralism continues championing the idea of co-existence through respecting and accepting the otherness of other, the commitment to nurturing the pluralistic ideals embedded in Islam through the World Muslim Congress continues.
