Nobel Peace Prize Laureates: All People Speak Up for Peace and Nonviolence
It is time to stop the ongoing wound of the Middle East. It is time to show a higher way that peace is not only possible it is inevitable when chosen. The issues we face around the world are up to all people’s to make a decision – do they want war/violence or peace. Are they able to look into their own violence and choose a higher way. Conflict resolution and inner peace practice can take us there. I advocate The Work by Byron Katie as one of the ways http://www.thework.com/index.php, Gandhi’s Satyagraha (truth, love) is a way, Desmond Tutu’s truth and reconciliation is another approach, Aung San Suu Kyi’s harmony is yet another, Martin Luther King’s nonviolent protest is again another approach, the Dalai Lama travels the world speaking of peace and meditation and peace of mind. There have been many leaders who have shown another way, what way will you choose?
Speaking up is the key for the world we want to create. There will be no more war when everyone decides this is so. Is it true that what happens overseas is separate from us. What if you believed that all events were connected as one thought form. The planet is interconnected by an energy system and we are all connected by thoughts. What we think we create, thus what will we think when we realise peace is who we are. What would do you want to create?
If war, famine, climate change is possible then the opposite is possible. It is in truth a choice. We have the power to choose, always.
Gandhi envisaged ‘be the change you wish to see’.
Happiness, true happiness, is an inner quality. It is a state of mind. If your mind is at peace, you are happy. If your mind is at peace, but you have nothing else, you can be happy. If you have everything the world can give – pleasure, possessions, power – but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy. Dada Vaswani
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. John F. Kennedy
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. Buddha
Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.
