Below are two recent tweets on William T. Hathaway's latest literary
work, Radical Peace: People Refusing War. The book presents the
first-person experiences of war resisters, deserters, and peace
activists in the USA, Europe, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Just released by
Trine Day, it's a journey along diverse paths of nonviolence, the
true stories of people working for peace in unconventional ways. The
first and last chapters are posted on OpEdNews.com. He turned the
last chapter of Radical Peace, Conscious Peace, into an excellent TM
article, and it's been published in OpEdNews and several other web
magazines:

This last chapter discusses his TM practice, and the vision of
possibilities it holds for world peace. It's a powerful work, which
opens with this paragraph:
I was sitting in full lotus, body wrapped in a blanket, mind rapt in
deep stillness, breathing lightly, wisps of air curling into the
infinite space behind my closed eyes. My mantra had gone beyond sound
to become a pulse of light in an emptiness that contained everything.
An intro and the complete last chapter are now posted on my blog:
