The end of all wars
The roots of war
THE END OF ALL WARS tells the story of a group of thinkers who flee to a remote island to explore the roots of war and to find a way to end all wars.
In their explorations the thinkers touch on many major issues: the roots of wars, normalising wars & weapons, the future role of soldiers, ending all wars, divides, conflicts, competition, domination, predator and prey, the role of nature and the restoration of the environment, learning from nature, building societies which thrive, empowerment, community life, towns & cities with a purpose, new economic systems, new political systems, the role of stories, debunking damaging narratives and the realisation that all change starts in the mind, the connection to the body, communication, building trust, sexuality, nudity, gender, parenthood, class, property, nations, thinking and the amazing brain, coming together, non-violent solutions, stronger together …
THE END OF ALL WARS is a proposal of how to end all wars, and it offers insights and visions for how to rethink and reshape our world.
I chose an imaginary planet for this exploration to focus on core issue and to avoid getting entangled in the noises around specific conflicts.
I chose not to gender or name any of the characters because this story is not about any specific gender or nation. It’s about humans. It’s about becoming an active part in shaping a world that doesn’t make us sick, regardless of who someone is.

‘The intriguing truth is that we actually enjoy acting together, be it building, creating, cooking, exercising, dancing — or preparing the most preposterous push for peace. War has the power to unite. But if we go to war, nothing is possible, all sides can only expect loss and suffering. If we come together, everything is possible.’

The story of empowerment
Once upon a time there was a small planet, far away in another galaxy. The people of this planet always sported bruises, their faces, hands and torsos swollen, blood dripping or drying on their skin because they constantly fought each other. The more bruised and swollen a person the more respected they were. Read on >
About the author
I am a human, born on planet Earth in the year 1972, in the then divided city of Berlin.
Over decades I have grown into a fully fledged thinker, explorer, creator, visionary, author and photographer. Unfortunately, I did much of my fledging in seclusion. But after some challenges in 2023/24, I’m ready to share my findings, stories, inventions and ideas with the world.
The universe collections are some of several projects. Others include the easy town books, the easy town business projects, the towns & cities project, and breastless.
A good place to get an overview of my projects, ideas and offers is my overview website: www.charlie-alice-raya.org. It’s still incomplete, but it’s the place to keep up to date. Over the next weeks and months, I will continue to add content here and there.
You can also connect via the social media platform Bluesky.
Visions for this project
Let’s think big and start with small steady steps such as adding more stories about planets who ended all wars – writers and co-writers are welcome.
More planets
The end of all wars is a collection of stories, each featuring a planet in the universe and a testimony of how its people ended all wars.
Quite a few of those testimonies are already introduced on this website and some of those are looking for co-writers, collaborators and writers.
A few testimonies are by now available online.
This is my kind of rebellion
ripples publishing is to be the home of the collection The end of all wars.
However, ripples publishing doesn’t exist. So far, it’s an idea, waiting to be picked up – by rebels, visionaries, shapers and nurturers.
Why rebels, visionaries, shapers and nurturers?
Readings available
As the first book of the collection The end of all wars, planet one, the roots of war, is about to be published, I am looking for locations in Berlin who would like to become part of the book release events.
After those, I am happy to travel.
