What is peace

The dictionary says that peace is when war has ended; freedom from disturbance; but I think there is another definition to peace...

There are many paths to peace, it has been said, but only one will get you there, so choose carefully.

For the wise it will always be the inner one but for the others all roads lead to Rome. Personally I like to think of peace as a feeling coming from inside me, but that’s me.

They do say that peace is when the war stops and there is no more killing. But that is a very strange idea of peace. I feel peace has to be felt whether there is a war or not. If you can feel peace wherever you go then that is peace and a real one. A wise man once said, that the peace you are looking for is already inside you and you just have to connect with it.

But what is peace? How do you get peace? How do you keep it after you get it? These are important questions not to be confused with the absence of war.

So many people are searching these days for something to bring them a feeling of being complete, but the natural state of a human being is to be in harmony, so perhaps it is a question of undoing what we have learnt that keeps us from being in a state of grace, love, peace.

There are many words to describe peace but only one feeling to feel it. Peace is a beautiful place inside and when you find it there is nothing else like it.

Self realization

Consciousness is the only viable option through self realisation which is a process of understanding, an inner journey of self discovery and inner knowing.

My own inner journey began decades ago and was made possible by the knowledge of a very kind man, and by practice of that knowledge I slowly began to remove ignorance by dissolving it in an inner knowing and clarity.

It really is simple but our own minds cloud the clarity and make it harder than it could be.

Peace is possible.

We are all on a journey; what we knew as children no longer serves us in the same way now and we leave our adolescence behind as we grow older and our understanding grows; and as we progress through life we shed the skins of our comprehension of that time and grow into a bigger understanding as we evolve and grow, and while we are alive we will continue to grow and evolve.

We have the capacity and are capable to know peace within us, and there has never been a better time than now to get out of the quagmire of our thoughts and find that peace within.

I'll touch in this question of what peace is in later posts...
