Peace is easy ... it is a mindset.
War is easy too ... and it is also a mindset. It comes from fear and resentment about the actions of others. It is easy to blame our political leaders for wars and all their atrocities. After all, that is where the ultimate decisions appear to lie.
But ultimately you and I must take responsibility for our collective parts in all of this. We Americans are not as peaceful as we like to think. Look around you at the crime, drugs, domestic violence and the gimme-gimme attitude that pervades our culture. Where is the true peace? Where is the sense of security and love that we long for so dearly?
Does Personal Peace really come from more money? Better relationships? Bigger homes? Or is it an "inside job" of our own making? Collectively, we are restless and continue to strive for "more" in the vain attempt to bring us "peace of mind." Is it any wonder that this mindset shows up in the decisions of our political leaders?
But suppose we were givers rather than getters. Wouldn't we then exchange love instead of venom? And what possible purpose would war serve if we all had such a giving, peaceful mindset? Interestingly, wars are often fought by unpeaceful people in the name of peace ... clearly one of the silliest concepts mankind has ever created.
When we have true Personal Peace, our goal becomes one of spreading that mindset everywhere. This is where a smile, a helping hand and a loving gesture become the centerpiece of our lives instead of frivolous things like high fashion clothing, cosmetics and computer games. Wouldn't a world filled with love like this be one where war is meaningless?
So, how can this "idealistic" goal be accomplished?
We could, of course, do our usual thing of fruitlessly passing yet more laws that require peace ... OR ... we could recognize that World Peace starts with Personal Peace and simply take responsibility to generate it on our own. That's where it must start ... on the individual level ... by you and me. People with Personal Peace do not go to war.
Fortunately, we now have a tool to do this. EFT's ability to knock down fears, angers and traumas are unsurpassed in history. The more we remove these barriers to love the closer we come to the Personal Peace that we all seek. It is a process, of course, and will take some time. But the personal rewards are immense and, as these possibilities spread throughout the world, the needs for war will disappear.
Peace is easy ... it is a mindset.
Love, Gary
