Jean Marie Muller a French filosopher and researcher about Gandhi

 

 

 

 

Jean-Marie Muller, specialist of the Non-Violence came to Sao Paulo invited by the Association Palas Athena.

I participated to one of his lectures that he gave at the Vergueiro Cultural Center, I read one of his books 30 years ago that help me to become a committed "Objector of Conscience". I made the step to refuse the compulsary French Military Service when I was 20 year old and became wanted by the military police. I was supposed to serve two years of Civil Service at the National Forest Office (ONF), but I denied also, I wanted to choose a voluntary service of my choice to help to isolated villages facing exodus of the population migrating the urban areas.

But in the mean time I joined the Unification Movement and went to the United States.....

 

Anyway we need desperately to apply the Non-violent Strategies to solve the conflicts existing in our world to-day, like Israel or anywhere...
