Papillon Human Potential - Global Potential - Love of Peace

Love of Peace Wisdom

"If you wish to bring an end to war then hatred of war will not do that. Only love of peace will achieve that aim. He who hates one evil merely creates another."

This paraphrased quote taken from the Seth Material defines what may be the successful approach to creating peace, of whichever kind it may be, be it global peace, domestic peace, personal peace or emotional or inner peace.

The first reason for this being a successful approach is in its being in line with the universal principle that what you focus on and hold in mind you tend to create. So we focus on peace and our love of peace, if that is what we wish to bring about.

And the second reason, I believe, is that it is a philosophy which allows one to avoid taking the victim mentality, for if one sees any situation as something that is for them and for a reason or purpose then one can decide what it is they wish to create, or increase, or improve, rather than thinking it is a situation of oher people's making which we need to fix.

If you see the situation as something that is not a reflection of you, or not being for your purpose, then you will feel out of control of the situation, and thus this tends to lead to attacking things which we are afraid of the threat from. Such a case is being against war, as then those who's actions we find threatening cause us further uncomfortable feedback when they respond to our expression of what can only be criticism by us towards them. Or rather we cause all of this for ourselves. And so this can, and, of course, does, go on round and round, for ever sometimes. It is fine and noble to wish to see an end to war. Being anti something is completely different though.

However, if we see it the other way, then we realise that the whole situation is there for us. The feedback which bothers us in the first place becomes the feedback to tell us and make us aware that the situation is an opportunity for us to decide what we do want, or perhaps also to make us aware of what we wish to develop further, or more quickly.

For example, if our level of love is not quite where our true selves would like we give ourselves the initial feedback that something is undesireable to give us the prod or push to change our own approach and go at a speed or in a direction more to our liking or true path.

And, of course, this philosophy is in line with the principle of connection (see below) - i.e. that there is no separation.

Best wishes,
