'Peace' Articles
We have peace at the beginning, and I hear that many find it in the last few moments, so it should be possible between? It is possible. The secret to personal peace is not being a better person. It’s being the person you are. We aren’t a human “doing”, we aren’t human “flesh”, we are human “being“.
Peace is like gravity, all it takes is either trust or a push.
“There is no way to peace, peace is the way.” A. J. Muste (Pacifist and Prophet)
“When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.” Peace Pilgrim (American Teacher and Spiritual leader and Peace Prophet, 1908-1981)
“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without” Buddha (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)
Human ‘Being’
Finding peace is a universal search and would seem simple right? Just don’t make drama, and don’t get involved in drama? This is how many people seem to think, and to my experience those notions are very far from the truth. We seek peace, and many think they can find it by “unplugging”, shutting down, or clamping down on themselves. It is my experience that the people who try that are very far from peaceful. Who are the most peaceful people? Given their natural behaviour, and not being taught stress early, wouldn’t that be children? Are they quiet or disengaged?… Seek More
Peace is Like Gravity
I have had trouble with peace in the world. My big problem was that my nature was rejected. I was told that I was weird, scary, strange, evil. We have to find peace in ourselves first, but I fought. I could see why they said what they said, and I fought like hell. My father once told me he could kill me and would be doing the world a favour. My brothers, except for the youngest one, see me as evil. Even told my mom she was because she believes in the advice I give her. But she only now… Seek More
Life Itself
If you are denying some aspect of yourself and behaving for a reason that has no root in your heart, are you burned out yet? Tired yet? Self denial isn’t peace. Self conflict isn’t sanity. Sometimes we must compromise to survive? Ah, and even compromise can be internally motivated. You can desire to accommodate another. That kind doesn’t burn you out, it’s the force that does. What you feel forced to do, or what you are forcing yourself to do. Thus life looses its color and though you live still, you aren’t really alive. We tend to think the burn… Seek More
Strength is a Virtue
Is it some peoples nature to control? To a degree yes. It is visible in animals also, the “alphas”. But human alphas tend to distort and thus debase that instinct. They take natural instincts and warp them and make them about ego. The lion that “takes” a mate is not being egotistical, but he is being controlling. The male gorilla that drives out a rival is not being egotistical. He has an instinct to preserve peace and the healthy conditions of the troop. A troop of gorillas with no alpha or a rapidly changing alpha suffer. Strength is a virtue, but… Seek More
Peaceful Thought
I wonder if insane is the opposite to peace? Yes, ultimately insane is the opposite of peace. Though we call much that is insane, sane. Much that is unreal, real. The insanity is pretty deeply rooted. Should we embrace insanity when we have established that it is what we reject that makes us weak? Strange, but yes. What makes it insanity is not the information or forces behind it, it’s the ignorance. I am still stuck at the beginning in finding personal acceptance, especially when there are so many expectations from others. Simple truth in your case. You cannot give… Seek More
Where is Peace?
Finding peace. We all try to do it. It is a long standing objective in philosophy and religion both, if not the oldest. Yet we seem to have a haphazard grasp of it at best. A big part of this is we seek it elsewhere. It’s forever elsewhere. Peace on earth, peace with other nations, peace with your neighbour. Isn’t it strange how this seems to work poorly if at all? Yet we keep doing it, and feeling bad because we think when something comes up it’s our fault. Depends on the situation doesn’t it? If it depends, what happens if… Seek More
Accept the Negative
Sometimes it is just good to be angry, or cry without having to stop because you are suppose not to? Yes. We burn the bridge before we even cross it. We want peace, but won’t allow ourselves to be at peace with what disturbs us. When you seek to deny anything about you, you make yourself your own enemy and create an endless well of conflict in your life. When you let yourself be, you will find what you were trying to control often stops, because it was never you. It arose from that conflict, that effort to control. Short… Seek More
Experience of Peace
I would love to experience that feeling of peace again, that we all had often as a child. Just being outside looking at whatever and feel exactly as you are supposed to feel. I can’t put it into better english. That was perfect english. You said it just fine. What you fear controls you. What you fear, you fear because you believe it has power. We are creatures in the likeness of the infinite divine. You have everything in you. Literally everything. At the very heart of this is peace, and it is best if that heart keeps beating. End… Seek More
