Talking Our Walk

To bring peace to the Earth,
make your own life peaceful

We always welcome thoughtful comments regarding anything found in our pages. Back in our October-November 2016 Issue, Creations Magazine, for the first time, endorsed a Presidential candidate. Well, we expected some reaction—and we got it!

Page space wasn’t available sooner to publish these Letters to the Editor, but we think you’ll still find interesting what two of our readers, with decidedly differing viewpoints, had to say.

Letters to the Editor

Revisiting Vote Your Values, Not Your Fears (Oct-Nov 2016 Issue)

Jill Stein supports BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions). She is not a Jew. She is an anti-Jew (like Bernie Sanders). No Jew supports the destruction of Israel. If you are endorsing Jill Stein, then you support the destruction of the only democratic nation in the Middle East. The only nation in the Middle East where people have freedom and rights. So I guess you prefer to support the mindless hate and violence of the Palestinians, the Iranians, and all of the other anti-Semites in the world.

— AF

Editor: “Support hate and violence”? We vegans literally don’t even swat a fly. Jews, Palestinians, Americans, Iranians: frankly, we’re not at all interested in labels. We are all humans—not limiting, manmade constructs—created from the same source, and all deserving the same rights, freedoms and happiness. We support ideals that seek to protect and empower all people, and all living things, everywhere. Bottom line: we’re long done with war, and have no interest in fighting or assigning blame to any country, religion, culture or ideology. We hold ONLY the vision of peace and prosperity for all. Andrea and I are studying daily A Course in Miracles, which reminds us, since we don’t have all the information, we’re never in a position to pass judgment on anything. Judgments are born of the ego; the ego is fueled by fear. We are striving to live the expansiveness of love, not the constriction of fear. Jill Stein’s platform was most closely aligned with our values—and we voted for those values. And yes, for Bernie, too!

Dear Neil,
I send thanks to you and Andrea for your pre-election editorial encouraging voters to vote their values, not their fears. I had voted Green Party in the past and had been debating the risks of doing so again. It was helpful, supportive and validating to read your column and endorsement of Jill Stein and I indeed voted from the heart when I placed my mark next to her name. This is certainly a time for truth and I applaud your courage in sharing your convictions. Peace, and, again, thank you,

Patricia, Patchogue, NY

Editor: “Peace”—that’s what we’re talking about!

Getting back to the present (hey, there’s no time like now), our April-May Spring Issue, honors and celebrates the Divine Feminine, women, mothers, earth, and the environment.

Presently, regardless of the seemingly pervasive divisiveness and rancor, we are all self-determining. If individually, we are peace, collectively, we will bring peace to the Earth.


Neil and Andrea
