Making Peace with War

I have reccently had the opportunity daily to find peace amidst the chaos. Before I thought that peace was something we imposed on others. So much so that when I entered a room in my home, I would expect my nephew to silence their I-Pad and for the world to change around me. To some degree this is true. We create reality through the vibration and emission of our thoughts and feelings, so feeling and thoughts of chaos bring about the experience of feeling and seeing chaos. HOWEVER, and this is an important and

dramatically capitalized however for a reason, however, as we tune into the feelings of peace and joy within us, we do not need to force our reality onto others. This is what it is to make peace with war.

Peace with war, it sounds rather silly, but it is true. To make peace with war is to make peace with the fact that I can remain calm and steady even when someone else wants to rock the boat. To make peace with war is to make peace with the fact that I am fully capable in every moment to return to my feeling and sensation of existence, and that I do not have to let turbulence from others or from the environment to change how I feel. Both the people and the environment will begin to change to meet you in your vibration in time, but it is the space between feeling your peace and seeing it around you that we speak on now.

To desire peace is wonderful. To require it of others removes you from peace and puts you into a role of controller of others. To force someone to do what you want to do, against their desires, is the very heart of war and conflcit and the antitheseis of peace. This is the beauty of peace. It allows for all things to exist. It does not judge, but rather guides those around it to find a balance within themselves and those around them. It changes the conversation from "will you turn that off?" for your own sake, into "can you please turn that down?" for the sake of everyone in the room. It offers guidance and love instead of judgement. It allows for both the request, and also the answer"No, I do not want to turn it down." How many times in my life I would have risen up and returned with force, then requiring that a change be made. When you find inner-peace, you can tap into it even in the most hectic conditions.

To cultivate this inner-peace is not done in a day, or perhaps even cultivated in a single life. It is from lifetimes of choosing to mediate in the place of control and to go to those places without and within that hold it close. When you are able to be at peace in a crowded and noisy arena, you are only able to do so from all of those other experiences before. This is the beginning of making peace with war. There may always be a level of conciousness that desires to see things in a polarized condition of winners and losers, dominators and victims, to be at peace with that and while you are around others that feel that way is the path of self-mastery.

We are each having an experience as a piece of source, and each experience is equally valid in the eyes of our creator. Some souls may choose to dwell in strife and suffering longer than others. This does not mean they are worse or better than any other soul. It simply means they wish to have an experience longer. This is something like going to the playground and having a friend who only wants to ride the slide. You may desire to go to the swings, the rope course, the castle and more, the entire time they are content to go up and down. This is what their soul desires, so let it be. Peace allows for this kind of difference between experiences. And it is in the absence of force that the desire for change and greater exploration comes about. People are more likely to tune into the peace that you hold when it is offered and not enforced. This is what makes it so attractive to us. It allows for things and people to come together in their own time, even when they wish to dabble in war for a little bit longer.
