As a man I have seen far to many women suffer abuse at the hands of men.
From this point on Let No Man Raise His Hand in Anger , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Hate , Let No Man Raise His Hand in Conflict for to do so diminishes the Human Spirit.
Women are our greatest treasure. They bring life into the world. They nurture our spirits and nourish our souls yet far too many of them suffer at the hands of men. What is wrong with us as a society that in the 21st century we still allow this to take place. We must rise up against those that would oppress , we must rise up against those that would abuse. We must rise up against those that value life so little that they would batter ones soul.
Let us embrace Love as a way of life and acknowledge Women as the Divine Blessing they are.
I received a phone call last night from a loved one whose partner was in jail because he had beaten her bloody. What possesses a two hundred pound man to batter a one hundred and fifty pound woman. What possesses a man to ever raise his hand to a woman. This is disturbing , puzzling and unacceptable. As men we must raise our voices for silence is a form of abuse . We can no longer turn our backs on our Mothers , Sisters , Wives and Friends.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
Let today be a Healing Celebration in which we Honour every Woman on Sacred Mother Earth.
For my friends in the Creative Arts I ask that you use your gifts to create awareness. Use your music , art , poetry , writing ... to help change peoples paradigm that we may once and for all put an end to this epidemic. For my friends in the Spiritual/Healing Arts I ask that you send your Prayers and Healing Energies to every Woman who has ever suffered abuse at the hands of a man.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
As a society we must seek to create better men for the ones we have produced so far have failed. We live in a world of rape , murder , molestation , crime and war. We must choose better leaders , create better schools and seek an existence that is less selfish and more selfless.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
The pure loves light of my Wifes smile embraces my soul , the beauty of my sisters enchants my spirit , the radiance of my nieces inspires my inner child and the divine spark within every woman I have ever met motivates me to cry out to my fellow man - No More ! No More ! - put your hand down and raise your heart in celebration of the majesty of all women.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
I ask that you transform your thoughts to those of peace , love and beauty. I ask that you have a reverence for life that honours the beauty of all living things. I ask that you live a soul centered life that promotes social awareness and achieves positive change. I ask that you open your hearts to all women for to do so connects us with higher wisdom and allows love and joy to flow into our lives. I ask that you reach for the heavens while keeping your feet on the ground thereby facilitating peace in the world and creating abundant new possibilities.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
Women have an innate connection to the soul that transcends this earthly existence. Let us rejoice in their magnificence and seek the fruit of their wisdom that we may all find a peace profound as we live in harmony. To move forward in life we must realize that happiness is a choice and must make a conscious effort to make better choices. Teach your children well for they are the future of humankind. We spend so much time teaching math and science and far too little time teaching love , honour , respect , compassion , integrity , dignity and truth. If we are to survive we must teach our children to breathe joy and happiness , to embrace respect and compassion , to see selflessly through spiritual eyes.
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
May this simple note inspire you to Light a Candle of Love thereby illuminating a path of spirit nurturing truth that will lead us out of these dark times into a brighter tomorrow.
Tell your Mother you Love her!
Tell your Sister you Love her!
Tell your Daughter you Love her!
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
Let No Man Raise His Hand!
Yours in the Glory of Love Profound

Thank you and bless you, Micheal, for your heart-felt outpouring here on this topic.
There is a need for this message to find traction, for sure. As someone who suffered brutality - mental, emotional and physical, at the hands of two husbands, a lover, a rapist and my own father, there are a few other parts of the message I'd like to get out there, and that needs to be heard by the women who are suffering these atrocities. Those messages are: - You are NOT alone - get help! You are NOT responsible for the actions of these people - so don't let anyone lay a “Law of Attraction” guilt trip on you, because I've seen that coming from some supposedly enlightened people, too.
The other thing women need to do for themselves, once they have healed from their wounds, is to forgive. I didn't say forget, though. Forgiveness doesn't mean putting yourself back in harms way, either. What forgiving will do is to release you from the poison that often seems to be transfered over from abuser to the abused. You don't need or want that sucking on your life-force.
Blessings!

Micheal- first, thank you for your message of honor and respect for women.
Frankly I was a person who allowed myself to be emotionally abused. I was a victim to this treatment most of my life.
Through my spiritual awakening I saw that my adult behavior was hinged on my childhood experiences- the experience (and teachers) continued to be sought out by me because of the experiences I was shown as a child.
This knowing allowed me to remove the victim and accept responsibility as an adult woman to heal that place. Then I was able to I could break this dangerous cycle in my life. I then became a teacher for other men, women and children- empowering them to understand themselves and each other in order to create loving relationships with themselves and others.
Our male children are rarely taught( in our society) what it is to be a man. What the rights and responsibilities are -because there are not enough healthy teachers present.We must see that boys too need nurturing in order to be compassionate men- the ‘suck it up Nancy’ machismo thought of denying their feminine side is a load of crap. So they equate sex and power with Love.
Our girls do not see themselves as the ‘Life bringers’ the Creative force in the world. They are so starved for nurturing that they compromise themselves; giving in to sex to satisfy the need to be loved and connected.- The women and men in their lives have taught them this.
So the root of this issue is; our children need to be nurtured- have examples of women and men who love themselves and others unconditionally- who set personal boundaries and respect the boundaries of others.
There is no easy answer- but our world is full of bullies and victims- all suffering from the same issue- Lack of nurturing- lack of self esteem and ultimately-lack of Love.
You would be a great teacher to other men. Do you volunteer with non orofits in your area that handke men out of prison- or addiction- or anger managment?
You would be a great mentor.
