A Department of Peace

Peace
1

Absence of war is NOT peace. That’s a cease-fire. Peace is NOT the result of negotiations and horse trades, either.
Peace is the Universal Essence built into the core of every living human being. It is a deep, calm, content feeling that is part of human nature. It is most easily experienced in stillness, and brings the highest possible quality of life. It is also powerfully good for health.
Peace, in its nature, is a personal presence within the space the body occupies, though usually not focused on and therefore not real for most people most of the time.

We have spent billions on wars around the world. We have spent almost nothing on teaching and promoting peace for our citizens at home. What is wrong with THAT picture?

When you decide to create a Department of Peace, I want to work with you.

Human history says otherwise.

Sure, when we live out of touch with ourselves, we will not feel that universal peace, and then will express our lack of peace into the world. Human history is a record of the discontent that comes from not making time and space for the experience of that inner essence and, as can be expected, the automatic expression of that discontent into the world.

I was born during the second world war in Europe, was a refugee kid at 2 and, briefly, an orphan. It’s how I first became interested in how people can live together in harmony (or in peace with themselves, others, and nature).
