BED PEACE starring John Lennon & Yoko Ono

via youtube.com

'Dear Friends,

In 1969, John and I were so naïve to think that doing the Bed-In would help change the world.
Well, it might have. But at the time, we didn't know.

It was good that we filmed it, though.
The film is powerful now.
What we said then could have been said now.

In fact, there are things that we said then in the film, which may give some encouragement and inspiration to the activists of today. Good luck to us all.

Let's remember WAR IS OVER if we want it.
It's up to us, and nobody else.
John would have wanted to say that.

Love, yoko

ABOUT BED PEACE

1969 was the year that John & Yoko intensified their long running campaign for World Peace. They approached the task with the same entrepreneurial expertise as an advertising agency selling a brand of soap powder to the masses. John & Yoko's product however was PEACE, not soft soap, and they were determined to use any slogan, event and gimmick in order to persuade the World to buy it.

BED PEACE (directed by Yoko & John and filmed by Nic Knowland) is a document of the Montreal events and features John & Yoko in conversation with, amongst others, The World Press, satirist Al Capp, activist Dick Gregory, comedian Tommy Smothers, protesters at Berkeley's People's Park, Rabbi Abraham L. Feinberg, quiltmaker Christine Kemp, psychologists Timothy Leary & Rosemary Leary, CFOX DJs Charles P. Rodney Chandler & Roger Scott, producer André Perry, journalist Ritchie York, DJ & Promoter Murray The K, filmmaker Jonas Mekas, publicist Derek Taylor & personal assistant Anthony Fawcett.

Featured songs are Plastic Ono Band's GIVE PEACE A CHANCE & INSTANT KARMA, Yoko's REMEMBER LOVE & WHO HAS SEEN THE WIND & John's acoustic version of BECAUSE.

Every drop of rain that falls
In Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle

All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle

Test tube babies being born
Mothers, fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on Earth
Mother nature does it all for us

The wonders of this world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Abel
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Uh, oh

It's a miracle

The one thing
We're all waiting for
Is peace on Earth
And end to war

It's a miracle we need
The miracle
The miracle
We're all waiting for today

If every leaf on every tree
Could tell a story that would be
A miracle

If every child on every street
Had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle

If all God's people could be free
To live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle

We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us

Open hearts and surgery - Wonders of this world go on
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling

It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle

Wonders of this world go on

And it's a miracle
It's a miracle
It's a miracle
Uh, oh

It's a miracle

The one thing - The one thing
We're all waiting for - We're waiting for
Is peace on Earth - Peace on Earth
And an end to war - End to war

It's a miracle we need
The miracle
The miracle
Peace on Earth and end to war today

That time will come
One day you'll see
When we can all be friends

That time will come
One day you'll see
When we can all be friends...

Mandala Golden Flower Of Jung - The Dalai Lama & Carl Jung On Heart, Consciousness, & Earth

via en.wikipedia.org

"Ultimately, humanity is one, and this small planet is our only home. If we are to protect this home of ours, each of us needs to feel a vivid sense of universal altruism. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse one another. If you have a sincere and open heart, you naturally feel self-worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others."
- Dalai Lama

“Consciousness is a precondition of being.

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.”
- Carl Jung

Soul Iris, Light In Darkness, Circular Rainbow, Dharma Wheel, Solar Cross - John Lennon In Mind Games (1973) On Peace & Love

via en.wikiquote.org

"We're playing those mind games together
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds
Playing the mind guerrilla
Chanting the mantra, Peace on Earth.

We all been playing those mind games forever
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil.
Doing the mind guerrilla,
Some call it magic — the search for the grail.

Love is the answer and you know that for sure.
Love is a flower, you got to let it — you got to let it grow.

Yes is the answer and you know that for sure.
Yes is surrender, you got to let it, you got to let it go…

So keep on playing those mind games together
Doing the ritual dance in the sun.
Millions of mind guerrillas
Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel.

I want you to make love, not war — I know you've heard it before."
- John Lennon, in "Mind Games"
