A formalized strategy that incorporates a unique missing element in peacemaking and crisis response.
TRAC5 applies a formalized Blueprint that incorporates a unique missing element in peacemaking and crisis response. We draw upon decades of research and real-world experience to implement a two-prong application.
It begins with a top-down approach engaging leadership in faith-based diplomacy. A remarkable track record has been assembled over 20 years in countries such as Iran, Libya, Pakistan, Sudan, and the Central African Republic.
Second, our bottom-up approach brings people together by highlighting newly discovered and game-changing religious common ground that helps initiate reconciliation and real peace in some of the most challenging places on earth.
"...a blueprint for breaking this logjam of dissension that contributes to so much conflict today."
Incorporating the Aramaic language of Jesus, in a comparative analysis with the kin-Semitic languages of Hebrew and Arabic. This study has revealed ground-breaking common ground with the potential to transform religious mistrust and bias into friendship among Muslims, Christians, and Jews.
Shockingly, there is little to no scholarly work comparing the Semitic languages of the Abrahamic faiths with the objective to identify new common ground that could tear down divisive walls. While Greek dominates the New Testament, the Semitic languages of Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic uncover a unique key to unlock Abrahamic scriptural-based peace.
Neuroplasticity affirms what Scripture depicts: the mind is not static, but dynamic, able to transform to a new way of thinking and living. By sharing this new common ground, we found that it brings alive the process of being "transformed by the renewing of the mind."
When religious beliefs are challenged, areas of our brain associated with emotional regulation and cognitive flexibility are activated. When new ideas that threaten our core beliefs are introduced, the amygdala — the part of the brain responsible for fight-or-flight — also activates. The Blueprint uses paradigm-busting research to "jolt" one into creating new neural pathways, avoiding confrontational language that fires up the amygdala.
Through trial and error and careful analysis, we have quantified the consistent inputs and outputs of love in practical terms — what we call the Algorithm of Love. This works in concert with our use of Semitic languages, which on its own has a way of touching the hearts of people.
Following 14 behavioral inputs of love, buried in the Semitic scriptures for generations, is the secret to establishing both inner and outer peace with mathematical consistency. The algorithm draws not on institutional religion, but on the teachings and life example of Jesus — who crossed religious and cultural barriers and demonstrated amazing love and forgiveness to those who betrayed, falsely accused, and executed him.

All of the above is wrapped in Acts 2:42 — breaking bread, praying, relationship building, and study. In the ancient Middle East, breaking bread together was a must when engaging others. Getting to know one another personally, while resisting the urge to debate or negotiate, opens the heart. Jointly reviewing sacred literature and sharing the witness of one's life expand the relationship. Prayer at the appropriate time, even a short time of meditative silence, becomes the cement of the entire process.
