Peace is the absence of againstness, internally and externally, but it’s not the absence of sand papering, refining and moving towards excellence. There can be divergent points of view without having war. I call it conversation, communication, dialogue and sharing ideas. It’s integrity, which allows all people their moment to speak their truth.

In the one accord of peace, we have to put aside righteousness, indignation, accusations, problems, inadequacies and insecurities. Wrap them up, put them aside and say, “Today I am not participating in those. I only have this one thing to do—and that is to participate in peace.”

Make peace with yourself. Forgive yourself for all the times you haven’t done your best, no matter what the reason. Forgive yourself for forgetting that you are divine.

When I talk about peace, I may be using a different concept than what you are accustomed to. I don’t believe you can fight for peace. Nor can you defend yourself for peace. Nor can peace be purchased, owned or used for any purpose. Peace, according to my concept, is the natural state of humankind; we are children of a benevolent Creator. Peace is our eternal home. Peace is God, Spirit, the One, whatever word you choose to call it. It is bigger than our minds can grasp. It just is.

Peace is not a static condition. It is a highly active, alive state of being.

Peace is a cessation of againstness, where you are not holding a position about anything or anyone, and you do not judge.

Peace is neutrality, where you are simply not against anything or anyone. Neither are you for them. You are in a middle ground of acceptance, which frees you up for positive, loving action.

Ask yourself, “Am I bringing peace and harmony to the world? Am I part of the problem, or part of the solution?”

If we all contribute the greater part of ourselves into this life, we will have peace—and plenty of it.

The most important thing you can do to experience peace inside is to cease doing againstness. When you indulge in jealousy, anger or lust, you are in againstness—against yourself. It may seem like you are against someone or something outside you, but take a good look: Where do those feelings reside, and who are they affecting?
