Peace

That’s what my parents tought me when I was a kid.

To forgive, is to forget.

I hear many people saying, “I have forgiven my husband, but I can never forget what he did to me.” -Most of the cases involve cheating in that type of situations. So did my last 3 year relationship.

I was angry for the first few months. I did forgive, but didn’t forget. But not so long ago, I had a really good conversation with a friend, that made me realize VERY IMPORTANT THING.

My ex cheated me most of the time with a certain man, when we lived together. Not physically, but so, that she tried to hit on my friend for almost two years. I had my intuition, witch I consider is a gift I’ve received, because I’ve noticed that it’s NEVER been wrong in my life. NEVER.

Sometimes, I’ve thought it’s wrong and I have given the benefit of the doupt to certain people and ignored my intiotion (or you could call it the voice of my heart too), by reasoning. “She/he is not thatkind of person.” “He wouldn’t do that to me.” “That person is not “evil”, he/she means wants good.”

During the conversation, I realized propably one of the most important things in many years. I already doupted my intuition about people, because it always told me inside myself if someone was lying to me, eaven if there was no visible evidence or anykind of proof. Only a “gut” feeling.

Many times, sometimes after years, my intiotion always proved to be right. In some situations, where I remembered how I felt year ago, but decided to trust the person, and later on, I found out that things were EXACTLY as my intiotion told me before.

The thing I wondered and was worried about, that why my intuition was wrong on the case of women I’ve dated.

Now I’m coming to a point what I said before about what I realized during that conversation.

My intiotion wasn’t wrong conserning women. And during the conversation, an old bushido story came to my mind.

It was a story of “mushin no shin”, or Mushin, an empty mind. There was a hunter, who was in the forest with his bow and an axe, chopping wood and hunting food. One day, he saw a strange animal he never seen before. The hunter decided that I’m going to shoot this animal because it’s something that nobody has never seen before. He aimed, and shoot, but with every shot, the strange animal could read his thoughts and jumped away from the path of the arrow at the last minute and was mocking the hunter. After a while, the hunter got bored and asked the animal how he could do that, because the hunter was an expert shooter. “I can read peoples thoughts” -said the strange animal. So, the hunter realized that he can never slay that odd animal, became frustrated and started chopping a tree with his axe, while the strange animal stayed and mocked him more.

The man became angry and started to hit the wood harder and harder with his axe, while the strange animal mocked him. Suddenly, after a hard strike, the metal head of the axe became loose, and during his hard swing, flied straight towards the strange animal, hitting it to the head and thus killing it.

The point was the state of mind, mushin no shin. The animal COULD NOT do anything, because it couldn’t sense the coming “attack”, and that was the end of its days.

-now, during the conversation, I thought about this story, and realised that the women in my life (there have been only few although I’m around 30yrs old, but kinda picky I guess..hehe) have lied to me, but they have done it because they have been so much messed up in their head that they have meant no harm, they have thought that lying is somehow easyer way to deal with things. They have always done things like this, and never thought about the fact that when they lie, and when it is eventually revealed, it hurts ten times more.

So, they have been in a sort of “mushin” -state of mind, and that’s why my intuition hasn’t been able to detect it. Before, I thought that it’s love, strong emotions, or stuff like that, that have been blurring my intuition, but after I realised that they have meant no harm because they haven’t knew how to act how they have should been, I CAN NOT BE ANGRY to them, because THEY HAVEN’T done those things because they’re evil, manipulative or anything like that.

After this realization, I was tremendously happy that I still have my intuition, and it hasn’t been wrong with there people I’ve met.

And that lead to the realization that I can not be angry at them, for they don’t know what they do.

After that realization, I have been able to forgive AND forget.

That also made me understand certain type of people, and in some ways to help people who do the same as my ex girlfriend.

I’m blessed with the gift of intioition and have received lots of good because of it. I don’t have so many true friends, and I don’t meet people a lot, but somehow I can always tell those people almost by looking at them talk for a minute, are they sincere or not. And I’ve always made friends with the people who I have seen true, and to tell the difference from the people who just try to act to be good.

Maybe this works a little different with women. Maybe they unconsciously tend to “mirror” the person they’re attracted to, and by doing that without them knowing it, it’s impossible to know if they’re true or not, if you look them by the gift of intuition.

I hope this post wasn’t too long, and I hope you read it. I would be VERY happy, if I could get some insight of what you and other people thing about this, what I’ve just explained, on how I see these things now.

Thank you for the video, and I hope I have contributed something to someone with this text.

I think peace is a state of mind and spirit… peace cannot be found outside ourselves, cause is built and developed by our own attitude towards other people, situations and life it self.
When at some point in our lives we understand that we are one with all that sorrounds us, we know that God created us to be happy and and give light and peace to each other and nature. This knowledge creates the attitude that will eventually upgrade our lives in this planet to a higher state of conciousness and harmony.

Dear all,

Here is one Poem written by your poor writer from Himalaya.

Plot:

The poem is about one old man who is in despair. He is confused and wants to know where he could find peace. He does not know if peace has any form or beauty. He see that all his life he wanted to reach for the glory of peace but he hasn’t found peace. Mostly there are thousands of question in his mind to learn and know about Peace.

************************************************
Peace
************************************************
Oh Mr. Peace, Who are you?
Where are you and How are you?
I am confused, life is in despair
My friend said, “He needs peace.”
Where would your path prevail?

Do you live in humans? Or,
Do you have your own home?
Are you unattainable? Or,
You always heal the wound.

Are you Utopian? Or,
Are you just mere Word.
Should I find you inside me?
Should I walk pilgrimage? Instead,
I am in despair,
Where are you Sir Peace?

Life is like a poem
Only sorrow and pain
War in world
Humanity insane
I am confused to find you Sir Peace

When I am silent, in deep breath
Nobody around, in loneliness
I find inner peace,
Please let me know, if that’s you

When I wake up, I see,
Sunlight falling on my face
Sounds of Bird Chirping
and Wind touching my hairs
Shivering and Kissing my body
Please let me know, if that’s you

When I read news,
My heart bleeds hearing disease,
Pain, Suffering, Sorrow, Poverty
War, Rape, Addiction, Suicide
Murder, Homicide, Politics
Please let me know, if that’s you

Will there be you, in war,
Can I find you before or after any disaster
Oh Mr. Peace, Who are you?
Where are you and How are you?

Opinions are many, very few are in peace
thy peace is peaceful
Pieces makes peace
Mr. or Mrs. Peace
Bring light, glory and your holy
Presence to cease
***************************************************

God bless you all !

Maybe pace is unattainble with ourselves and with others, but we really need war?! I agree with the pacifist way of Gandhi in responding to violence, to war.Why the rest of us accept war in our lives then, when we have seen what Gandhy managed to do in front of hate and violence? Why do we let others to tell us when to go at war and when to be in peace? Violence brings violence and there are people who know how to manipulate the hatred and the violence, and we accepted to be manipulated, because is much more easier to let others to tell us what to do and how to feel, instead of actually listen our hearts, or think for ourselves. We are the product of an old type of society and we refuse to evolve, or maybe…to remember that once we were dealing with war, conflicts, violence, in another way. It must be another way and i like to believe that one day humans will be capable to change, to learn how to come to peace with themselves and with others. I refuse to believe that the conflict has to exist; i am living it too, as everybody else, but i try to change, thinking that when i was violent i made my biggest mistakes of my lives and now i have to live with the memory of what i did and saied.

Hi Paulo and Everyone

Alan Taylor in the UK has written a very beautiful and poignant response about peace.

For a long time, I thought of myself as a kind, gentle and peaceful person but very recently I have come to see that the reality of my behaviour has been very different from that.

Instead of surfing, I have, many times, chosen instead to run head on at the world, out of sheer stubbornness, arrogance and bad will. I have been entrenched in my opinion, clinging to it, even when I knew I was in the wrong. How incredibly stupid and arrogant.

In my closest relationship, the very person who has loved me enough to help me to see the destructiveness of my ways has not been thanked and respected, but has become the victim of my vitriolic attacks. I have maximised conflict, not minimised it. I have indulged in this shameful behaviour, when it is clear that I need to stop it.

I realise, on reading Alan’s response that I have rarely been at peace with the world – let alone myself. Somewhere deep inside, I truly want to be, because living in a non-peaceful way is sad, destructive and painful. It has a hugely negative impact on the web of life, and ripples out in so many ways.

I write this at a time of crisis, to publically acknowledge my peace-less behaviour, to recognise and apologise for the damage I have caused and to commit to walking the path of peace; the middle way – surfing instead of fighting. I may fall off my surfboard at times, but the least I can do is try.

To me, peace is good, it was the state of the universe before God gave man the gift of choice. But man chose to do evil. When evil meets good, peace is interrupted and there is war.

External peace is out of reach because humans are not perfect, and perfection doesn’t last long in a world of imperfections. For example, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but he was killed by his fellow men whom he tried to save.

In The Alchemist, the boy found God inside his own soul. I believe same can be said of peace, it can only be found within oneself.

I get what you mean Mr. Coelho, and yes, probably peace as we understand it really is utopia, since we are all different and have different ideas and different points of view and perspectives on reality. And that is the beauty, to be different, to have each of us our own perspectives and viewpoints, thefore we are prone to disagree with others many times. I do think though that peace is possible if we think of peace as the way to resolve our differences or just disagree without leading to plain violence. That is possible. What happens is that a lot of the violence that we see in the world is not because we disagree on subjects and viewpoints but are led by greed and fooliness and fear and ignorance and thirst of power and richness. It would take a mass shift in concioussness and the elimination of all the systems that perpetuate injustice, divisions, classes for as to create the kind of peace I believe in. That could take hundreds of years if it happens at all but there is something that many of us feel and is not utopia, and that is HOPE.

Best regards,

S

peace is felt when there is no need to use the ego to act as a wall , i.e. to protect… that will happen , when we all understand each other and understand our position in the world…i.e. when we realized that we do not need to make scarifies rather it is more sharing for love , i.e. adding value to our love and that the ego is a platform we stand on and we need to keep moving to make sure we don’t become one with the ground .

We need to know we need to live and not survive . I believe man is born to live and animals are born to survive . We need to feel the seas and hear the waves…we need to know that what we wear and that the body is just another illusion..and that beyond all that we adhere to the universal song , in which we are the note and at the time when it is our turn to play , we are the universe as , the focus is on us .

Peace thus always exists within us , as always know all these things . The reason why we have this unrest is because we fear , when together as society we try to cause ourselves to believe we cannot live but need to survive. We forget to listen to our little voice , to the child , who keeps guiding us . The reason why I call it as a child is because as children we are secure and have to spend with ourselves.

Peace thus comes covered in a pod called illusions . If we just respond and not react ,we will find it .

The light shines the brightest

Creo que tienes razón, la paz es un concepto subjetivo, porque para que exista se tienen que generar normas que tal vez para cada quien tengan que ser diferentes, entonces yo pienso que para que exista paz como tal, lo importante es el respeto, es decir, podemos convivir con tus reglas y con las mias y yo te respeto aunque tu no concuerdes conmigo. Y tal vez de esta manera, no se aburrido.

Hi Paulo and Everyone,

Peace itself is a relative term and means many things to many different people.

For me peace can only ever be temporary a lull between the waves of life that come at us on such a regular basis, we just have to remember to keep surfing. In a strange way I have often felt at my most peace-full when challenged on all sides, this peace is being in the “zone” and interacting with life fully. In other ways calm tranquil walks along deserted beaches in the rain, bring with them a sense of peace. My “inner calm” may differ significantly to those of others; I could never measure it, so how could I be sure we are talking about the same thing? We might even have an argument about it.

Whenever humans interact and until such time as we are all clones or enlightened, there will always be conflict. It is the willingness to search with goodwill for some harmony within this discordant song of life that can bring a temporary peace; perhaps a time to pause and take stock and to look for ways to move forward without being entrenched in opinion. The friction inherent in inter-human interactions cause development and without this there would be stasis. If we did have peace all the time it would get a little boring and no change would ever happen.

Often the avoidance of conflict has exactly the opposite effect; it encourages it.

It takes a very developed Soul to use non violent means, such as Gandhi, yet he was knee deep in conflict though his actions could be described as peaceful. Conflict is as much a part of life as death is. We can however strive for ways to minimise the damage of conflict and not indulge in it needlessly and for its own sake, or just to be clever.

On one level we are all brothers and sisters, yet even siblings do fight :-)

With all my best wishes,

Alan

Peace for me is found internally and and conecting with my sense of sprituality, I need to take time each day for this or my peace soon goes. it,s like stepping out of the eye of the hurricane
There are places even people who generate a sense of peace that connects with my spirit as well. I like to spend time in these places, with these people.

I find peace with acceptance of situations that are upsetting- my son facing jail, my partner ill health and I find hope for without hope there can be no peace.
The hope of summer after winter, the hope of new life after death. Accepting things are as they are for the momment and that all things pass. That is the way of life

hello again :-)

I think warrior of the light, must bring good message with no confrontation with someone.
If message are good is no nesesery to prove something to others.

Yes, war is bad thing in the history of humankind, but after that peace come to the world.

I can’t understand some historical facts in ex. holy wars, because is no holly wars at all, and all wars are bad…

See you next time…

Hehehe… :D This blog is making me laugh… LOL

This is GREAT! Yes peace is Very hard… because it is so easy to loose control… But since all my life, I’ve been in the ‘mother’ position, I’ve learned a lot of control. And since I am EXTREMELY sensitive to energies, people’s suffering affects me strongly, and I feel things around me very intensely, therefore it is easier for me to envision a world of peace, and see the possibility… it is a possibility is it not? perhaps by CHANCE, one day it will be.

But, it is a lot easier to loose control, even a person who has a lot of control, sometimes they have none! So I say FUCK IT too, I’m going Igor style!!

Yannis,
the non-existence of peace, ok… yes just in the duality of Light (sun, morning) and Dark, (night) you have all the categories and levels and possibilities of everything positive and negative, life to death.

But, speaking of HUMANS, we are not trees, we are higher in consciousness. I don’t believe we NEED conflicts, but conflicts are inevitable, they occur, because we are all very different, but did you ever think if people generally had more understanding, compassion and compromise for those they care for, (let’s start on a small scale) then perhaps fights and arguments would not linger on, would not escalate, but rather would be resolved mutually without causing unnecessary pain!

Carolena Sabath!

On the 22.01.2009, I sent the following message to President B. Obama through ” One”
-” a campaign advocacy organisation backed by 2 millions people from all around the world committed to fight against poverty and preventable diseases-”
Dear President Obama,
“Thank you for making the fight against global poverty an important part of your inaugural address.”(One’s words)

As a French citizen, I hope that we can all co-operate and bring the best each country has to offer in order to fill the gaps between us.

A person with a global vision is what is needed as a rainbow of hope and a shining beaming light that will bring back humanity where it belongs : to its roots.

May our vision of the world becomes one of brotherhood for the betterment of mankind.

If peace is understood as absence of conflict, that is, fighting between individuals or nations, then my answer is “No,” peace will never happen.
But peace has nothing to do with fighting. And peace is not absence of conflict, that’s boredom, ennui.
Peace has to do with creativity and communion.
My perspective is as follows. We’ve all experienced a beautiful vista that engendered physical well-being, emotional joy, mental tranquility, and spiritual awe. All we could say is “Unbelievable,” “I wish I could possess this state of being all my life.” At these moments, your mind, body, soul are harmonizing and in union within you as well as with what you perceive. When you are attuned, in harmony, in peace with that moment, you are in communion with it. You as a unique “I”, a human being, and what your are perceiving
that particular moment of Life (creation), are in a mutual relationship, an intimate communion. From within that momentary communion, a unique melody of truth, beauty and goodness is created by both you and what you perceive. Beauty, truth, and goodness originate by man co-participating in an ongoing creation.
But we also have experienced degrees of this state of being (peace), in eating a dinner with others, listening to a song, working at some project, physical love or writing a novel.

Every word we speak, every action adds or diminishes our unraveling of truth, expands or obscures beauty, nourishes or strangles the growth of goodness. We each are participatory in the expansion of creation.
A Warrior of the Light is not in confrontation with Life nor is Nature in a state of confrontation.
Nature is always in harmony and not fighting within its elements. The universe is not static but dynamic, that is, continually evolving, constantly creating and expanding. Nature, the universe, has no moral dimension. Only man does. If you take man out of the world, then evil (Darkness) cannot participate in the universe. A Warrior of the Light (Love) is in a battle with Darkness (Evil). And Darkness cannot create anything, but only destroys, corrupts, disorders anything that yearns to participate in creation of the Good, the Beautiful or and the Truth. But Darkness (Evil) needs man to assent and to exercise what is not right. The Good Fight continues to the end of time.

“A paz invadiu o meu coração
De repente me encheu de paz
Como se o vento de um tufão
Arrancasse meus pés do chão
Onde eu já não me enterro mais
A paz fez um mar da revolução
Invadir meu destino a paz
Como aquela grande explosão
Uma bomba sobre o Japão
Fez nascer um Japão da paz.

Eu pensei em mim, eu pensei em ti,
Eu chorei por nós
Que contradição só a guerra faz
Nosso amor em paz
Eu vim, vim parar na beira do cais
Onde a estrada chegou ao fim
Onde o fim da tarde é lilás
Onde o mar arrebenta em mim.
No lamento de tantos “AIS”

Dear Savita,

I agree with you, I do not have patience to write it all as you did but your words I find very true.

If I have peace, and I have it, at least at this moment, it is because I do not permit mass media to condition my life, and being optimist I do not see End of the World yet.

Thank you for your insight.

I’ve been applying peace to myself. Through laying down sharp daggers of self criticism. I’ve been holding a shield against arrows of negative and disbelieving comments of others, who are filled with doubt, fear, and anger. I’ve been dropping heavy and stinking bags of guilt.

The result has been a growing sense of inner peace. I notice that in turn and has made me more peaceful to all around me; other people, animals, and the earth.

Yes, I still have battles and conflicts within. Paulo, your writings strengthen and embolden me to battle them. Yes, there is conflict in the world and it may always stay that way. Yet as Warriors of Light, the battles that we start eventually lead to greater peace.

“I have heard what the talkers were talking, the talk of the
beginning and the end,
But I do not talk of the beginning or the end.

There was never any more inception than there is now,
Nor any more youth or age than there is now,
And will never be any more perfection than there is now,
Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.”

Those are the words of Walt Whitman; to them, I would add: There has never been any more peace than there is now…nor any less war, or strife, or chaos and confusion.

Often we get caught up in talking about how “bad” the world is – and getting worse! Worse by the day, by the hour, by the very minute! The end is near. Surely the end is near, for there has never been so much war, so much murder and death. Never have people been so sick and twisted and bent on annihilating one another.

If there is more war, any more murder or genocide, only the numbers will tell, only the numbers will reveal the truth. But what is concealed in a body count? If there is any more death by violence, is it not because WE are more – because the human population of the earth has never been so great? Because that rising population threatens the existence of the larger organism itself – the human species, as well as the earth?

I remember reading once about an experiment, that I will never forget. In this experiment, thousands of laboratory mice were grouped together in colonies and housed in what, for a mouse, would be considered a Utopian environment. They had plenty of space, wonderful shelters, plentiful and delicious foods, a clean and abundant water supply, various “toys” with which to entertain themselves and stay fit – in short, they had everything which, in a mouse’s view, comprises a perfect world. Their environment was ideal. So what happened to these mice that were so well cared for, so well fed, so bountifully provided for? They began to breed, as mice will do (humans too). They began to breed and breed, multiply and multiply, until finally, the environment was not so ideal anymore. They became excessively overcrowded, and although their essential needs were met – they were still given plenty of food and water and housing to accommodate their numbers, their environment was kept clean by the keepers who changed their bedding daily – although they still had everything they could want or need, the mice became sick. Not physically sick, but mentally. They began to be agitated; some grew depressed, while others grew more and more aggressive. They began to exhibit fits of psychotic violence, committing acts that mice, under ideal conditions, do not normally exhibit. They attacked one another, they murdered one another, they tore one another to shreds, even members of their own families, even their nearest relatives. Mother mice eating their own babies; male mice killing female mice. This Utopian environment soon became a blood bath.

So, if there is any more violence now, any more murder or war than there ever has been before, there are several things that must be taken into account before we solidify ourselves in that conclusion: First, we must look at the numbers, at the body counts, at the death toll, not as an independent number but as a ratio. Of course there are more people dying violent deaths than there were two-thousand years ago, even a thousand years ago – the population of the world has more than doubled, several times over since then. So, any rational comparison between some praised yesteryear of “peace” and the present era of “violence” must take into account that there are simply more of us to die than ever before. The number only makes sense as a per capita ratio.

Secondly, is the data we use to determine how “violent” the world has become accurate? Do we have the numbers we need to make that comparison and say that the human species is more violent today than it has been in the past? Only in the past hundred years have we started keeping such counts – death tolls classified by manner of execution: two million killed with guns, twenty million with bombs, five-hundred thousand women raped and murdered, so many homicides, so many suicides, and so on. If we go back further than that, the numbers, accurate numbers, simply are not there. We have nothing to compare. We are left with speculation alone.

We assume that the world we live in is more violent, it appears more violent, but for one reason above all – and this brings me to my third point – the existence and accessibility of the mass media. On a daily basis, we read about and we see – in the newspapers, on TV, on the internet – acts of violence that we never would have known about had we lived a hundred, or even fifty years ago. Now, someone in an American city walks into a crowded shopping mall and guns down twenty-five people, and a man who lives in Australia knows about it within seconds, can not only read all the gory details of this scene of violence, but can actually view pictures of the bodies covered in sheets and lying in pools of blood, maybe even view a video of the shooting itself. This violence impacts him greatly because his knowledge of it is immediate and visceral. A war is being waged somewhere in the Middle East between two countries that I have never visited, two peoples whom I know little of, and yet, if I choose to do so, I can sit in front of my television on a nightly basis and watch bombs being dropped, see children running through the streets screaming, watch babies torn from their mother’s arms. This makes me feel that the war is taking place in my very livingroom; I go to bed feeling bruised and alarmed – shell-shocked. I wake up with the conclusion that the entire planet is under a blanket of violence, from which there is no escape: The world is bad, all bad, and it is getting worse on a daily basis. The end is imminent, the end is near – the End Time of the human race is upon us! God is coming.

Let it not be misunderstood, I am not advocating ignorance. I am not saying that we should all go around with blinders on, not suggesting that what happens on the other side of the world is “not my business” or that it doesn’t ultimately effect me. It does. And it is my business, at least to the extent that I should give whatever humanitarian aid I can to help those who are victims of violence. But what I should not do is allow this close-up and immediate, panoramic view of the world’s violence create in my mind the illusion that violence is everywhere, that it has grown to a point that it has subsumed everything and everyone on this planet. All things in perspective, I must consider the good news as well as the bad. And the good news I must seek out of my own accord, because the news media is not interested in dispensing it. It does not sell. Furthermore, I should not let this view afforded me by modern technology push me to the conclusion that there is more violence today than ever before in human history, nor that there is any less peace, love, or compassion.

Now, having said all that, I would conclude that we do not need to set out to “change the world” – in fact, “changing the world” is impossible as a collective task. The world will change – there is no question about that – but it will change only in so much as we change, each and every individual, in and of ourselves. Our greatest responsibility in life is not to “change the world” but to work, continually and diligently, upon changing ourselves for the better. Peace can never be imposed as an external condition; it must come from within. No matter how many prisons or “correctional facilities” we build, no matter how many defensive barriers we erect or how many “peace keeping” forces we send forth, peace, genuine peace, can only take root in the individual. The collective benefits as the individual evolves and grows. So, rather than running around screaming, “The sky is falling! The world is coming apart at the seams! The End is upon us!” better to spend that time and energy working upon ourselves, internally as well as in every interaction that we have with other human beings, on every level. A tiny drop makes a huge ripple.

Peace to each and all!
Savita

I love peace and also, harmony. I respect that all have free will (a purpose to fulfill), and there will be those who might not cherish life or desire peace on earth. However, I do have the power to change myself, by learning and growing …. striving to be peaceful…looking for and enjoying the beauty of all the little things in life, living each day to the fullest, respecting the earth, nature’s gifts, being true to my own soul, respecting the rights of others, taking responsibility for my actions, and by sharing (giving) as best I can! Thank you Paulo : )
