I appreciated the clear and logical discourse on why we haven’t been able to achieve peace, justice, truth and mercy for the entirety of human history … they are at odds with each other as ways to coexist in society. This sets up the only solution being a massive perception shift in each of us, realising that what is good for society is also good for me and true altruism is the key to self-love. Hence the DTB is capable of dressing my DTR in a win-win way. I see moving from this realisation to actual sustained behaviour is a huge challenge … but all I can do is to my bit, changing my intention towards others through faith above reason, knowing that practice and the Creator’s love will lead to my internal transformation over time.
Wow, this week for me was mind blowing, eye opening, light flooding my heart. I know we were only supposed to read page 83 on Peace in the World, but I just couldn’t stop reading and read the whole chapter. What insight/wisdom was contained in that reading. That along with the video’s just opened my eyes to the realty of peace and the futility of the way we, as creatures, have been trying to achieve it.
For many weeks maybe months I have not been able to see any light in the current state of our world, and now I feel like the Creator has given me a little light on what I perceived as negative/bad and how He can bring Light to it, how His plans for us will be done, whether by Light or pain.
I have realized something about myself. That worry I always have about not being good enough to participating in helping to make the world a good world, it is another ego thing. Why? Because if I’m not good enough, the world won’t loose much in me perishing.
Understanding this actually gives me a sense of peace of mind. I will still not feel good about people thinking I am evil, but I am free to pursue my own goal, which is simply to help make a better world – and more than anything I still want to attain Equivalence of Form. It would be so awesome to be part of bringing peace to the world – not peace in the sense that there are no opposites, but a world of balance, a world that is what it is intended to be by the Creator. That is what I want to be part of.
Will I be part of it? I don’t know. But I know I won’t worry about not being good enough anymore, I will simply do the best I can as much as I can.
Shalom to the world, my friends. 🙂
