It is a mistake of the ego to think that it can "create peace" in the external world. | |

Peace through rules is not peace because it is not true transformation of the person, it is a lazy leaders way because transformation takes a while to accomplish. And sadly this world has had lazy leaders. And for real peace my thought is that everyone has to grow past ego. |

The ego says seeing is believing. Spirit says believing is seeing. In other words, when you truly believe / know / feel something to the core of your being, then it will be true on every level of your experience, inside and out. The external world is simply a mirror. Trying to change what you see by changing the mirror is pointless. You can paint a happy face there, but it doesn't change your actual being. As soon as you move, the face looking back at you is still your own. The mirror of the external world is somewhat useful, as it can give us insight into our current state of being. But to truly bring about change, we must go within." Nobody can force anyone to come. |
