Willie Nelson

Wizauradpro gives Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute a second A Peaceful Solution video with Willie Nelson and his Maui friends, Gypsy Pacific singing A Peaceful Solution jazz style. Wizauradpro’s video begins with a head shot of Willie Nelson and zooms in to an extreme close up of his eye where he cuts to the title A Peaceful Solution. The next cut takes us to an array of abstract undulating images.

Wizauradpro’s editing technique suggests that we have entered the dream of Willie Nelson and Family. If you don’t know the story of the origin of this song and project let me fill you in. Amy Nelson, daughter of Willie Nelson had a dream and we have her story.

Amy Nelson: “Well, it was a long time ago, before September 11, and I had this dream. It was that I was sitting out in the audience, and it was all dark, and I could see my Dad up on the stage, playing this song and he was singing something about a peaceful resolution. And I thought, this is such a beautiful song, and I was captivated by it. And I woke up and I couldn’t remember anything about it, except those words: a peaceful resolution. And I told Dad about it, but it didn’t mean as much back then. The war hadn’t even started.

“Then, more recently, I reminded him about that dream, and the song, and that I couldn’t get that song out of my head. Then, all of a sudden he said, “Hey look what I did. I wrote the song!” We were on the bus on the way to the Coachella festival when he did it, and I grabbed my voice recorder, to record it so he wouldn’t forget it. And he sang it on the voice recorder.

“And then they posted it on Willie Nelson Peace Research Institute Site.”

From this innocent dream the Willie Nelson A Peaceful Solution project was born and continues to grow as more and more artists create their own versions of the song and create videos using the A Peaceful Solution soundtrack.

This example highlights the fact that we first imagine what we would like to create and then the mind will go to work and help us figure out how to do it. Artists and Inventors do it all the time.

The thought precedes the tangible object.

The artist and inventor take the invisible idea and turn it into reality for us to experience.

Wizauradpro suggests in his video that we birth the idea of peace in the dream world of our mind. It becomes our challenge to take the necessary steps to accomplish a peaceful solution in our external world.

No one will do it for us. All the dreamers of the world have to take concrete steps to achieve their dream. And the dream of a peaceful resolution depends on each one of us taking action.

Action will turn a dream into reality.

Wizauradpro offers us a clue as to the direction to take. Ultimately the responsibility to follow through on a course of action rests upon our shoulders. Look around at your environment and see the concrete reality that began as a dream in someone’s mind.

If you don’t like what you see and have a different dream,

do you think the time to take control and

create your own peaceful solution starts now?

Wizauradpro ends the video by zooming out of Willie’s eye until we see Willie’s head shot identical to the opening image. We have come full circle and Wizauradpro’s final touch appears as a twinkle in Willie’s eye suggesting optimism for success in achieving a peaceful resolution.

Please take moment and watch Wizauradpro’s first A Peaceful Solution video where he suggests a way to take action and empower yourself.

* * * * * Artist’s Statement * * * * *

The idea for the second video was that the dream for peace lives in the universe of our mind.

It’s “We the People” that have to make the dream a reality.

We need to defend our Constitution from those who would say “it’s just a damn piece of paper” including the President. “Money trumps peace sometimes” says George W. Bush on TV. Executive Orders, Signing Statements, The Patriot Act, The War On Terror, Private Contractors and Secret Prisons,

We have a lot to Undo.

We do need a Department of Peace in our Government. It should be the easiest thing to export to the World. The price of War is too high, borrowed dollars, lives, destroyed land but

Peace can be Free for the asking.

So the problem is. War is Money and Peace is Free.

What we choose to Love is up to us.

LOVE PEACE NOT WAR
