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 - Jeff & Angie Moore

Another great video in today; again from Arizona, courtesy of Murdock's Trinity Records! This couple find peace through their deep connection to their religion and their spirituality. Many people find that an acceptance of a spiritual or religious outlook on life is the way to manifest peace in their lives. Once more we find that the recurring theme of the 12seconds for Peace videos is that peace starts within. Of course this does not mean that we should neglect the world around us, but to create a sustainable peace; a real and lasting peace, we must work on ourselves also.



Murdock's Trinity Records, thanks to the wonderful commitment of Todd and Gina at Murdock's, is really making a difference out there in Arizona. Many of the videos that are coming in at the moment are doing so because Murdock's is out there filming anyone and everyone that happens by, and getting their commitment to peace on video for this project. Right now, Arizona is leading the way to peace!

If you wish to connect with Todd and Gina at Murdock's Trinity Records, you can do so by clicking the link through to their Facebook page here. And if you are in Arizona, why not go along and get yourself on a video for 12seconds for Peace!

Peace,

Tone G once more delivers his concept of the road to peace with passion and a profound sense of commitment. Thank you to Tone G and to Murdock's Trinity Records for the great work they are doing in Arizona.

12seconds for Peace - DeZengo Moore

12seconds for Peace is very happy to be back with a wonderful video from DeZengo Moore. DeZengo has based her video around the opening line of Psalms 46:10 of the Bible. However, in eliminating the word 'God' from the line ("Be still and know that I am God"), it now has it's focus on the self; the 'I am'.

The line therefore is about self-discovery. Through contemplation and 'letting go' it becomes possible to discover the true nature of ourselves - ourselves as peaceful beings. This is, as we have discovered before, the path to universal peace. Once we come to a realisation of internal peace and express this outwardly to the world, then the world itself becomes more peaceful.



If you would also like to contribute to 12seconds for Peace, then please email your 12 second video on the theme of peace to: 12seconds4peace@gmail.com

12seconds for Peace - Arizona for Peace - 2

Today's video, again courtesy of Murdock's Trinity Records out in Arizona, expresses what many people would describe as the bottom line when it comes to establishing a peaceful world: listening to each other, understanding each other and simply enjoying life! Not too difficult is it? Yet as a global society we have yet to prove that we can do even this.

What is important is our knowing and understanding that this IS precisely what we need to do. If we know it, then we have a chance of realising it. All we need now is the motivation to get on with the task.



Thanks once more to Murdock's Trinity Records for their continued amazing support for 12seconds for Peace. Right now, thanks to Todd and Gina at Murdock's Trinity Records, it is looking like Arizona is at the forefront of the global push for peace!

If you also want to contribute to this ground-breaking project, then send your 12 second long video on what peace means to you, into 12seconds4peace@gmail.com

If you are one of the peace-loving folks of Arizona and want to get involved in what Murdock's Trinity Records are doing, then you can start out by checking their Facebook page right here.

12seconds for Peace - Peckerwood's Patty

There are clearly many flavours to peace and certainly some unusual concepts in Arizona! Murdock's Trinity Records, who are out and about in Arizona filming for 12seconds for Peace are certainly finding some interesting peace-loving people out there!

Riding a hot-rod brings peace. For some yes, for sure...we all have our own journey through this life and we each respond to different things, and why not a hot-rod to bring about feelings of peace?



Thanks to Todd and Gina of Murdock's Trinity Records of Arizona for bringing us another unique 12seconds for Peace video! More videos to come from Arizona, courtesy of the wonderful job that Todd and Gina are doing out there. You can find out more about Murdock's Trinity Records at their Facebook page here.

Ths is an amazing little video and thank you, Murdock's Trinity Records for finding Tone G! Tone is a real character and a man with great passion! Here Tone tells the world how it is in no uncertain terms and by the looks of him we better take heed! He means it!

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.
