World Peace by 2015 – according to Harvey?

Irishman Mr Frank Muldowney believes we will have world peace in 8 years, speaking on behalf for ‘Harvey’ the imaginary peace maker in a wheelchair. It sounds brainless but this is not quite the case.

Mr. Muldowney’s story is miraculous. At 19 years old in 1985, he suffered a brain haemorrhage, reported with intensive brain damage after 8 hours of brain surgery. For close to a year, he lived in his own world in the future as he was unable to speak or comprehend correctly. He believed his disabilities were temporary, just like medical knowledge, everything changes in time.

While improving his reading, Mr. Muldowney read a quotation from Albert Einstein that confirmed his own belief of the power of the human mind – “Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the entire world”

Mr. Muldowney then applied the philosophical strength of that quotation to his own recovery. Despite having no prior medical knowledge, he decided to ignore medical diagnosis and took charge of his own health, through physical training, travelling, learning, walking and thinking positively of the future rather than in the past.

By 2003 Mr. Muldowney still suffered from epilepsy, visual, speech and comprehension problems, but rarely can anyone find anything wrong with him as his attitude improved his mental health. He knew he must continue his self healing through his mind and thoughts.

From 1989 to 1999, Mr. Muldowney completed 16 long distant walks for charity in several countries to improve himself, learning from the wisdom of others. These walks were pilgrimages where Mr. Muldowney discovered that peace grows and spreads from these walks. Peace within, in one's heart, is the most powerful source of healing. He then knew in his heart that world peace will come from these historical paths.

The practice of being an advocate for world peace has accelerated vast improvements in Mr. Muldowney’s speech, comprehension and thinking skills over the last 2 years. In 2006 he used the same Einstein-inspired approach when he embarked on his 6,000km walk for peace across Australia carrying ‘Harvey’ the imaginary peace maker, the catalyst, who can unify peoples dream for peace.

“The truly important things of life are invisible, love, respect and morality, just like Harvey. When I talk about Harvey to people, you can feel the presence of peace, mentioning Mother Theresa, Gandhi or Martin Luther King. The dream for peace is in everyone’s heart, that dream cannot die, herein Harvey. For once we all have something in common, that all races and creeds, want the same desire for peace, and to be free of this symbolic wheelchair." - “The wheelchair is a symbol for a world disabled by fear, racism and injustice. We are all disabled until we have peace.” said Mr. Muldowney.

Mr. Muldowney’s solution to spread peace is simple. He walked the Camino de Santiago in Spain and the trail to Macchu Piccu in Peru, where he felt the presence of peace. Violence never grows on these pilgrimages. He now aims to ask the councils, citizens and governments to acknowledge this walk for peace in Australia and Ireland as an official pilgrimage. He aims to promote it as part of history in these countries, and unify peace walkers of the world to join all these walks as one global pilgrimage for peace. This global pilgrimage will transform areas of violence into peace, and rid the world of the ignorance or hate and war.

Mr. Muldowney has a vision of small communities having a key role in promoting the pilgrimage in their town. This will empower the citizens of the town recording the pilgrims go past each day, spreading peace from person to person, from nation to nation.

Symbols and statues of tyranny, dictatorship and power, encourages fear and war. It is now time to create symbols of peace, where the people can participate in creating a peaceful path to the future. Peace is now the first thought, while thoughts of fear and war will become part of history.

“Living one’s own dream, one’s own imagination, being prepared to work hard for it, is the way to happiness, and happiness is the way to peace” Frank Muldowney.
