is the title of a book, written by an Austrian friend of<br />
mine, the poet Hans Lampalzer; his intuition came<br />
near to the imaginary city.<br />
Visions, descriptions on outer as well as inner journeys<br />
and pilgrimages, meditative, or dream reports,<br />
pieces of art, and literature show reflections from a<br />
kind of ‘Golden Age’, of a ‘Paradise’, a ‘Garden of<br />
Eden’, shortly a ‘Heaven on Earth’.<br />
How peculiar it might be, there may be a possible<br />
Reality for Peace and Harmony.<br />
Moreover – in the last century there were several<br />
proposals made for cities or villages of peace.<br />
Auroville in India can be seen as such an attempt<br />
– even partially executed.<br />
Conclusion : Longing for Peace is present in<br />
all cultures and in all times.<br />
