World Peace Begins With Inner Peace
The Peace of Only One,
Will Create Peace in the World

Welcome, Students of Peace,

 
For just a moment, imagine.
Imagine, each human being functioning from a place of Peace, Presence and Essence. 
What would friendship look like?  How would collective structures appear? 
Would there be such hate and violence between peoples and countries on our  Earth? 

From a place of Inner Peace there is unity, no sense of self/ego obtained by standing firm with divisive beliefs.  Human beings honor one another's differences, seeing them as diverse and revering their beauty. 
The colors that each individual expresses would become the infinite bright colors of blossoms in the garden of the world - harmonic components to a chord - flavors to a recipe - and infinite forms of beauty. 

This is harmony. 
This is also the dream of Peace.

We all see the signs that our Earth is in serious turmoil, as we watch aggression, disorder and chaos veil our hopes and prayers for Peace.  Each country on the globe is dealing with increased violence imposed from one human being to another.  This being done, only to increase that human being's sense of self/ego - for that human being to feel superior to the other.  On a collective level, the structures that are created by human beings working together for a common cause, can do exactly the same injustice - only in a more powerful and intimidating way - Collective egos working together to create the same sense of self an individual creates when he or she inflicts violence on another.

Without the shells of our egos dividing us, we are all innately goodness.  It is this shell of ego that has given us our sense of self.  Let us instead go deeper within, and find the beauty of our sense of Self.  The Self that is the Essence of Who We Are, not what we are, or what we do.  The Self that is innately, beauty, love, pure goodness, unity and compassion.  This is the Self that we are each wishing to find.  And yet it is right there, underneath the layers of untruths we have come to believe about Who We Are.

The way to create World Peace, is by creating Inner Peace.  It is the nature of the World of the Unmanifested to start from the heart and reach outward.  Inner knowing and Inner wisdom is uncovered within us, and moves outward to others.  And so it is, that Inner Peace begins within our hearts moving in the same way - outward toward one other, infinitely, moving from within to without, gently flowing to those with open hearts.

How does one open their heart when there is so much anger in the world?  How does one go to a place of Inner Peace when there is so much to do and fill up their life?  It starts with letting go of what you do not need that is filling up your space, and finding the emptiness to be.  It means not scheduling so many appointments in one day, or activities each night.  It means waking up in the morning excited to see something as simple as the sun rising in the east - or the beauty of snowflakes falling from deep in the sky.  It means listening to your fellow man without judgment or expectations and deep enough to hear what is unspoken beneath his words.  It begins by focusing on an eternal present moment and not on an imaginary future, or a finished past.

You begin by Presence:  Staying in the now moment.  You begin to let go of obsessive thought and mind determining your desires.  From the stillness and silence, you listen to your heart speak to you, as you soon find that the answers it gives you are the answers you have been waiting for. You learn to go with your innate wisdom and love, the Essence of Who You Are and allow the Heart to lead you.  Inner Peace is the background on that path. While walking The Way, you can allow that peace and goodness of heart, to lead you straight to God.

This is not about religion or a specific dogma or words to follow.  Each religion leads to the same place and is only a vehicle to God, Our Creator, the Source of all life.  This is about finding Who You Are/The Self. 

For underneath all the mind stuff is heart stuff, your true Self. 
But you must first put the mind stuff/ego/self aside, to get there.

I invite you on a journey of Inverse thinking to uncover your Self and Essential Purpose.  
The emptiness you feel in your life is meant to be there.  It is only from that emptiness that you uncover the Sacred. 

You have been trying to fill the emptiness and space with things from the outside. 
I encourage you to go deeper inside. 
It is there that you will find the secrets that the ancients speak of. 

Not without, but within.


With Peace, the Presence and Love,


Frannie Rose
