Article abstract
quoted from mediate.com
”We require improved understanding, not only of the conflict
in politics, but the politics in conflict. As our world shrinks
and our problems can no longer be solved except internationally,
we need ways of revealing, even in seemingly ordinary, interpersonal
conflicts, the larger issues that connect us across boundaries,
and methods for resolving political conflicts that are sweeping,
strategic, interest-based, and transformational. A clear, unambiguous
reason for doing so occurred on September 11, 2001.”

“Each style of music evokes a different set of emotions,
memories, and spiritual or energetic responses. Can we then use
rhythms of speech to elicit sadness, anger, or fear? Can we counter
these dusky tempos with lighter, upbeat rhythms in order to elicit
joy, affection, or courage? What are the qualities of vibration
that impart these special, substantive meanings? What, for example,
is the vibratory quality of a sincere apology as opposed to an
insincere one? And how do we know the difference between them?”

“Taking a risky approach to conflict resolution allows both
sides to discover newer and deeper levels of understanding, improve
their skills and relationships and find better solutions than
either side thought possible. For these reasons, conflict is a
valuable personal and organizational resource and a powerful source
of learning, development and growth.”

Abstract
Quoted from mediate.com
"How easy it is to kill someone you don’t have to mourn
because you never dared to imagine him alive." This is the
essence of terrorism, but it is also the essence of war. Indeed,
isn’t terrorism simply a form of warfare directed at civilians?
Isn’t every war, regardless of its’ declared military
aims, an assault on innocent civilians?”

The Masks In Mediation

Abstract
Quoted from mediate.com
“Most people in conflict strike a variety of poses or "acts."
These melodramatic affectations are highly effective in capturing
other people's attention. None, however, describe who they really
are, or allow others to see them as multi-faceted, complex individuals.
In this way, each pose keeps them locked in conflict. Mediating
dangerously means helping them drop the pose and cut out the act.”
