World Day Of Conscience March 29, 2006

A proposal for a World Day of Conscience to be observed on March 29, 2006 and on the occasion of all future appearances of the total solar eclipse "Eye of God".

Three lunations from today, on Wednesday March 29th, 2006 the total solar eclipse "Eye of God" will once again appear in the skies above our planet Earth. This symbolic "Eye of God" will "look down from the heavens" above the east coast of South America (Brazil), Central and North Africa (Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria,Chad, Libya and Egypt), EurAsia and Asia (Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Russia and Mongolia).

Robin Edgar is proposing that human beings in all parts of the World may respond to the spectacular cosmic symbolism of the total solar eclipse "Eye of God" by observing a World Day of Conscience on Wednesday March 29, 2006 and on all future dates when the total solar eclipse "Eye of God" appears in the skies above our planet Earth.

World Day of Conscience should be observed in a manner that calls attention to and seeks redress for any and all forms of injustices and abuses that occur in the world. Special attention should be given to those matters of conscience in the domain of human rights, civil liberties and social justice, as well as serious environmental and ecological concerns.

World Day of Conscience may be observed in diverse manners. It is up to those individual people and groups who choose to observe World Day of Conscience to decide what are the most appropriate ways for them to observe this day.

Religious and spiritual observances are certainly encouraged however non-religious manners of observing World Day of Conscience may also be appropriate.

Suggestions for various ways to observe World Day of Conscience are welcomed, as are diverse forms of co-operation with and support for World Day of Conscience. At present the most urgent need for co-operation and support is simply to spread the news about World Day of Conscience as rapidly and as widely as possible to human beings in all parts of the world.

Total solar eclipses following that of March 29, 2006 will occur on August 1, 2008; July 22, 2009; July 11, 2010; November 21, 2012; March 20, 2015; March 9, 2016; and August 21, 2017. A map that shows the paths of totality of these and other future total solar eclipses may be viewed at the NASA eclipse web site.
