“My view on peace, is that it is an energy in harmony with all things, always present in any circumstance, whether or not we bring our awareness to peace.”<\/em>
\n– John Morton<\/p>\n

This is an excerpt from a sharing with John Morton that took place during an Internet Seminar on August 13, 2002. In response to a request for assistance in anchoring into peace in <\/strong>greater ways, John shared the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n

My view on peace, is that it is an energy in harmony with all things, always present in any circumstance, whether or not we bring our awareness to peace.<\/p>\n

If we went into a cacophonic occurrence \u2013 a convergence of sounds \u2013 we would be aware of many sounds, some disturbing.\u00a0 Within those many sounds, no matter how disturbing, is the sound of peace.\u00a0 As we are attuned to hear the various sounds, we can also become attuned to the vibration and energy of the peace.\u00a0 It affects us.<\/p>\n

That sound would pacify us in a wonderful way, because we are attuning to that sound, not other sounds that bring conflict, dissonance, and disturbance.\u00a0 Harmonically, there is a vibration that comes as an oscillation that sets up the harmonics for all the other instruments.\u00a0 In a symphony orchestra, the oboe plays a tone and then everybody finds that tone and vibrates to it.<\/p>\n

If you put forty clocks that have pendulums, all in different stages of rhythm, eventually all the pendulums will come into the same rhythm.\u00a0 What is that?\u00a0 There is a natural unifying harmonic.<\/p>\n

Peace is of a higher vibration than disturbance, conflict, againstness and negativity.\u00a0 Eventually it will bring everything into its harmonic.\u00a0 But there is an allowance for an instrument that is not of peace, so that inharmonious and disturbing things can be brought into the field where peace is vibrating.<\/p>\n

If your attention is drawn and attuned to againstness, you won\u2019t even hear the sound of peace.\u00a0 You will declare, \u201cThere was not peace there! It was just a bunch of disturbance.\u201d\u00a0 It was there.\u00a0 \u201cWell, how do you hear it?\u201d\u00a0 I hear it past the disturbance.\u00a0 It is the kind of thing you hear in the silence, in between the notes that are inharmonious and dissonant.<\/p>\n

In a percussive instrument there is a beat, and there is also a sound in between the beats. When something is struck, there is also a vibration that can be heard that is not what\u2019s being struck.\u00a0 It is part of the harmonics of what is going on.\u00a0 You are listening more for the peace that is within the occurrence, not necessarily what is the loudest or gets most of your attention.<\/p>\n

That is a discipline \u2013 to come into a fight and be at peace.\u00a0 How do you do that?\u00a0 It is not an easy thing to do.\u00a0 You come in realizing, \u201cI am not here for the fight.\u00a0 I\u2019m here for the peace.\u00a0 I am not listening to the drums of war.\u00a0 I am listening to the stillness of peace that is present and within all things.\u201d\u00a0 Learning how to be attuned to that will naturally allow you to be aware of peace in all the various instruments that are being played.<\/p>\n

Peace is in the stillness.<\/p>\n

Peace is in the harmony of all things.<\/p>\n

Imagine You are a Vehicle of Peace<\/h4>\n

by John Morton, DSS<\/p>\n

The following peace prayer was delivered by John at the Gathering of Peacemakers on <\/em>July 1, 2004 in Universal City, California.<\/em><\/p>\n

We are going to do an expanded version of the Peace Prayer.\u00a0 Let\u2019s call it a peace prayer for eternity if you so dare.\u00a0 I do.\u00a0 Why not?\u00a0 If we can even consider that such a possibility exists, we might just nudge the universe such that it can take place.<\/p>\n

One of the ways I look at the peace prayer process is that it is not just seeding, but taking care of that which has been seeded, tending to it, demonstrating that we want what the seed is about, which is peace in our lives and beyond us.\u00a0 Just consider that part of it.\u00a0 Just to know individual, inner peace is in itself, a great accomplishment.\u00a0 I\u2019m talking about having that translate so that it becomes something all around, everywhere, so we can behold it.<\/p>\n

Consider that in a small way, a thirty-two-day process is one where it is seeding every day for world peace.\u00a0 In that process, of course, you take care of yourself.\u00a0 I am going to invoke with you the creative imagination.\u00a0 If you can adjust yourself in some way so your creative imagination is \u201con,\u201d please do that.\u00a0 If it\u2019s already fully engaged, that is wonderful.<\/p>\n

Imagine you are a vehicle of peace.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t have to be anything more than being aware that your breath is peaceful.\u00a0 As you take it in, greater peace is present.\u00a0 As you give it out, greater peace is present to wherever your breath can go.\u00a0 You can see your breath coming from a source of peace.\u00a0 In my imagination, I can see it as a source like the sun.<\/p>\n

As the energy of peace radiates down from that source, it becomes particles that are in the air, that can be breathed in.\u00a0 As you breathe in, you are taking in these particles of peace.\u00a0 As you breathe out, you also, radiate the particles of peace to wherever they are needed.\u00a0 First, the peace comes to you from the source of peace.\u00a0 Then it goes out.<\/p>\n

This process is also an invocation.\u00a0 Part of the invocation is to look upon others, saying, \u201cGod Bless You.\u201d\u00a0 In your mind\u2019s eye, see and hear yourself saying to others, \u201cGod Bless You,\u201d and in turn hear them saying, \u201cGod Bless You.\u201d\u00a0 Notice that every time you say those words, you hear more voices saying, \u201cGod Bless You.\u201d<\/p>\n

Add the words, \u201cI Love You.\u201d\u00a0 Every time you breathe out, you hear the words, \u201cI Love You.\u201d\u00a0 As you breathe in, you hear the words, \u201cI Love You\u201d or \u201cWe Love You.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are three more words that are part of the prayer.\u00a0 \u201cPeace, Be Still.\u201d\u00a0 Peace is the awareness of this presence, tranquility, harmony, and silence.\u00a0 In the midst of great turmoil, there is still silence.\u00a0 We are reminded in those words, \u201cBe still,\u201d of the quiet, silence and calm that is always present.<\/p>\n

As you visualize the particles of peace coming in and going out, say the words, \u201cGod Bless You. I Love You.\u00a0 Peace, Be Still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, let us hear these words become louder.\u00a0 In our imagination, we can hear these words spoken so they could be heard all at once across the planet.\u00a0 Imagine a moment when every person, every sentient being hears, \u201cGod Bless You, I Love You. Peace, Be Still.\u201d<\/p>\n

Imagine everyone stopping to hear these words and experiencing their meaning.\u00a0 A moment where all across the world, everywhere and in every culture, in every language we all hear, \u201cGod Bless You.\u00a0 I Love You.\u00a0 Peace, Be Still.\u201d<\/p>\n
