Unfortunately, not everyone in the world sees things the same way.

When we get back to deeply natural, then we are in the center of all circles; in tune with our bodies, our souls, and the natural world. Then there is peace, and this peace can be transmitted as a symphony or piece of music will draw in those who wish to feel its power. The act of getting to this natural state, is an act of self-acceptance, of giving up the inner war, of not wanting too much; of slowing down enough to see the big love that drives the human world forward, even though we are not noticing the flow of that river enough, but are often focusing instead on tight shoes, or our shopping lists. So, I think, the act of getting deeply natural, whatever it entails, is an act of inner (r)evolution, that opens us to love, which flows in to give us peace. And as people gather in this natural state of peace, they tune others, because the magnetism is strong, and the fruit sweet. And then, from that point, all actions become a conduit for the peace inside.

Well said, Ezz - what 'otherness'? That we are separate from each other and Life is an illusion. When this is seen immediately, with no coercion but with the ruthlessness and beauty of awareness, then the egoic mind - the Big Illusion which creates all our others - moves to its natural position, to serve rather than dominate. Then Being can flourish and show us who we really are - One and All!

"How can I, one person, take action for peace? How can you?"
