About 12seconds for Peace

'12seconds for Peace' is a collaborative video-arts project, designed to raise the energy of manifestation for peace on our planet and in our individual hearts and minds. When humanity manifests internal peace and recognises the natural order of the human condition, then peace in the world will follow. The proceeds from 12seconds for Peace will go to support and aid the various good causes of a number of charitable and non-profit organisations around the world.

12seconds for Peace - DA Saintz

Thanks once more to the efforts of Murdock's Trinity Records in Arizona, we have a video this time from a couple of guys that make up the musical duo 'DA Saintz'. These guys are very clear about their definition of peace and what it takes to create it: getting out there and performing to a live audience.

Getting out there and feeling the buzz of an appreciative audience is of course not something that would bring peace to everyone - fear or trepidation might also be a response that many would feel in such a situation, but again on 12seconds for Peace we discover that peace comes in many shades and is seen through many lenses.



It will be interesting to see what other messages of peace come out of Arizona over the coming weeks. Murdock's Trinity Records are in the process of bringing in more and more 12seconds for Peace videos from around their state. So if you live in Arizona and want to get on board with this project, why not catch up with Todd and Gina at Murdock's and let them know that you too want to make your statement for peace on 12seconds for Peace. You can connect with Murdock's Trinity Records on their Facebook page here.

12seconds for Peace - Tammy Ferguson

Here is a wonderful little video from Tammy Ferguson from the UK which she tells us is "...an...accapella of Steve Wonder's 'For Your Love'", that she has fused with selected images to create a resonance for peace. It is not so often that we have people brave enough to commit their singing voice to public exposure, but this is a great piece of work and one that we hope will inspire others to add their own dulcit tones to this collective desire for peace!



We hope that more of you will freshen up your tonsils, fill your lungs with air and serenade the world into a state of blissful peace.

Shanti

12seconds for Peace - Arizona for Peace

Hot on the heels of Todd and Gina's wonderful video for 12seconds for Peace, we start in now with one of the videos that Todd and Gina, through Murdock's Trinity Records had filmed with various residents of Arizona for this project. With no name attribution for a number of these videos, we are simply going to label them up as 'Arizona for Peace'!

In this first video, a young woman embraces an all-encompassing definition of what peace means to her - love for all.



If you are in Arizona and want to hook up with Todd and Gina and find out more about what Murdock's Trinity Records and Promtions are up to, then just follow the link here.

12seconds for Peace - Todd & Gina Love-Murdock

Todd & Gina Love-Murdock have been staunch supporters of 12seconds for Peace for some time. So much so that they threw the weight of their music promotion company; Murdock's Trinity Records and Promotions, right behind it without hesitation. Murdock's Trinity were out there pushing the message of 12seconds for Peace at their Summer Slaughter show back in June and have recently been out on the streets shooting footage and collecting in messages of peace from Arizona residents.

The first video up from Arizona is of course from Todd and Gina themselves and I personally, and on behalf of 12seconds for Peace and it's growing band of supporters, wish to thank Todd and Gina wholeheartedly for their continued support and commitment to this project. Guys: you rock!

12seconds for Peace - Lisa Tenzin-Dolma

A lovely video from author, illustrator, musician and canine psychologist, Lisa Tenzin-Dolma this time around! The pictures used in the video are some examples of Lisa's mandala paintings, done in oils. The first one is a love mandala, produced for a friend, whilst the second and third are from Lisa's 'Glastonbury Tarot' card and book set; all given a second life and a wider audience here on 12seconds for Peace!

12seconds for Peace - Alex Abramowitz

Here is a wonderful video just in from Alex Abramowitz. Alex has taken the 12seconds for Peace format and through the simplicity of his focus and guitar playing, made a truly classic 12seconds for Peace contribution. Peace and simplicity go hand-in-hand and Alex's contribution should be an example for all of those who quake at the idea of attempting to make a video. It really is not that hard, as Alex demonstrates so ably.



Alex is possibly our youngest contributor to date and has sounded the clarion call to the youth of the world to commit their enthusiasm and un-tainted desire for peace to video and support this ground-breaking peace initiative!

12seconds for Peace - findthepixie

Contributions from visual artists have been very under-represented on 12seconds for Peace, so receiving this explosion of colour from findthepixie is a great joy! The beautiful and powerful images here bring something of a poetic flavour to the expression for peace and ratchet up the aesthetic of the project once more.



Art has always been a powerfully transformative tool in the history of the world. On the back of great art have ridden great civilisations, great expressions of the human spirit and profound yearnings for a world filled with beauty and joy. If you are an artist and wish to join us on this journey of transformation for all humankind, then send in your video and let the decision-makers of the world know that we now, collectively, desire peace.

12seconds for Peace - Lao Tzu

The great philosopher-sage Lao Tzu is said to have lived two and a half millenia ago in China and is the reported author of one of the great literary works of human consciousness: the Tao Te Ching. Whilst Lao Tzu's existence as hotly debated, there is no denying that the wisdom that came out of the birth of the Tao at this time and it's alignment with Confuscianism have had a major impact on the world.
