Love is the Solution!

Melvin Suhd

"Love is the Solution," as you have described in your writing and shared with me through your service to humankind as a spiritual member of AIWP, is a beautiful, succinct aphorism. It is a universal phrase that, when embraced and practiced, will serve to bring harmony to all the ethnic nations of the world who believe in "peace on earth to all persons of good will" and "love of life and people of all persuasions". I can think of no better person to bring us together as "One World" created to respect the uniqueness of every individual who would not deliberately do harm to others or the environment.

Over the past forty years, I have trained hundreds of persons to serve their communities. I believe that your work for Love is the Solution will have a profound influence in furthering that cause and in becoming an immeasureably positive contribution to world peace and harmony. Therefore, I hereby pledge to work with you to bring about a turning that would move this troubled world to a place where we practice "Love is the Solution" and secure the blessings each of us deserves.

Sincerely,

Melvin Suhd
Co-founder and experienced facilitator of AIWP

At this time in my life, I look back on many blessings: being an honored father, having enjoyed a long career and many rich life experiences in several fields of endeavor -- including early childhood education and psychology -- the creation and development of the ecumenical, nonsectarian Association for the Integration of the Whole Person, and establishing a university for individualized and integrated learning (the first University Without Walls). I have worked with a multitude of incredibly gifted and celebrated people, and ordained hundreds of individuals in spiritual service. After considering all these wonderfully fulfilling experiences, I have concluded that recognizing the qualities that lay within Nasser Zaghi, and praising him for his inherited genius which the world passionately needs, was a gift from above.

Zaghi chose me as his mentor, to guide him in the development of his peace project, "Love is the Solution". I see the result as the finest, most meaningful and true expression of his legacy to the world. Zaghi is a person whose vision and dedication to peace education has sparked what can become a worldwide shift in perspective, and the eventual realization of true peace for our planet.

I will rest well in the knowledge that Zaghi and his project, Love Is the Solution, are the living expression of service and love in the world, knowing that I played
a worthwhile role. If I had not been there to recognize and acknowledge, validate and encourage this in him, it might have lain dormant; it may never have flowered. For this, the intuition and insight I had in seeing him as the spiritual messenger that he has become, I feel blessed and fulfilled in my own mission to recognize and awaken this amazing spirit and purpose.
