The most subversive act imaginable is the simplest. Quietly and powerfully embrace Peace in its many facets. Embrace Peace in your own life. Embrace Peace in your dealings with others. Embrace Peace in your prayers and meditations. Feed Peace, nourish Peace, and generate Peace.
Energetically, peace is neutral–not for or against any one or any thing. It does not interfere, it does not push or pull, nor does it change things. Peace simply enables energetic patterns of consciousness composed of emotion, thought, and will to cycle to reach their ultimate destinations and become what they will. Peace is the energy of allowing what is to exist as it is.
If we enter into any situation that seems to lack Peace, and we have a desire to direct the outcome in specific ways, we are not agents of Peace. We are agents of bravado. Our job is to seek the peace, look for the peace where it is hidden, know that it is there and it will be found.
It doesn’t matter if we find it first in ourselves or in others, the recognition is sufficient to activate the energy to its next level of intensity and power.
Peace is not a state of numbness. It is an active state of consciously creating a space in which resolution can occur. Imagine a basketball hoop. By creating the hoop, you create a space for the basketball to go. Without a hoop, the ball will not go through the hoop. In the same way, we must create a space of Peace in which resolution can take place or there will be no platform on which resolution can be built.
Looking for peace will increase our awareness of the Peace that is present in ourselves and in the world. We will then appreciate the presence of Peace no matter what the circumstances. The Truth is that Peace is always present everywhere at all times. Our job as the awakened community is to find it and hold steady in the truth of Peace.
Peace Invocation
This invocation or chant is best done standing in a circle, slowly and deliberately. The leader says each line, and the participants echo each line. Repeat the entire invocation three times, and end with three chants of “OM”. It is also beautiful done alone to deepen your awareness and experience of the peace that is present within you personally. I invite you to join me in a shared practice. Say the invocation three times aloud followed by “OM” three times.
