WE STILL LIVE in a world in which wars, disasters and diseases prevail in spite of the many churches, religions, peace organisations and Nobel prizes for peace. Peace develops there where harmony exists within a human being and, consequently, with his or her surroundings. Since humankind is becoming more alienated from itself the word peace is taking on an ever more bitter undertone. What is wrong with this planet, why are the misery and the threat of war only increasing?

When you think about peace, you automatically associate it with something good. When you think about war, the word evil immediately springs to mind. But what is good and what is evil? In order to create true harmony we will have to become aware of the meaning of these polarities. What, to one person, is good, to another is not good and vice versa.
Harmony is based on love but it requires discipline. Love excludes nothing and lays no claim whatsoever. The lack of inner discipline creates an outer lack of freedom and this has a restricting effect on oneself and also on one's surroundings. We, as people, are dualistic beings and are continuously forced to find balance within ourselves by becoming conscious of our own harmony. Therefore, love always conquers evil. War is the product of a state of mind that occupies itself with the loss of material and immaterial patterns of thinking related to our ego. In matters relating to peace we should try to act creatively by opening up to creativity, which in itself has a soothing effect.

Everything that you encounter in the NOW you have already encountered before. A new solution is required, however, in order to find harmony within yourself, with the other, and with totality. Each pressure that becomes too strong creates a cosmic disturbance that requires harmonisation. Know that you can never lose the essence of who you are and what feels right to you. If we truly want peace on earth, then we will have to change our way of thinking. It is no use holding on to old values or to that which is written in the Bible if we interpret it in the wrong way. In order to open new doors, we should not close the doors we have already passed through. We should, however, try to gain a wider perspective of values. Therefore, if the new is to replace the old it does not per definition mean that the new is better than the old, or vice versa. What matters is that we change our ways and broaden our horizons.

Humankind has clearly become alienated from itself. We still put the blame for the wars and disasters that are taking place outside ourselves. Let us see the error of our ways and realise that everything, each and every thing, has an impact on ourselves, and that we alone are responsible for what we create. Let us also be mindful of the fact that if we do not change our ways, we will continue to create in a negative way. We should become aware that the true Light can only be found within our Self and that our life should be based on and lived according to this principle. It is, in fact, a very simple truth, but because the majority of people think that humankind is helpless against invisible forces and powers that are affecting the earth, there seems to be no way out! Therefore, it is very important that we work on becoming conscious, and that we all come to realise that each of us plays a key role here on earth and that we alone are responsible for our actions.

So as to gain a broader understanding of what is happening around us, it is important that we stop denying our spiritual nature. Our soul longs to pursue its own way without being hindered by the opinions of others. This is not easy if our lives are ruled by what others expect of us. Rules that go against our own spiritual nature are precisely the reason why the world is slowly but surely degenerating and becoming a darker place. All human beings are equal and there is no need to worship gods or become the followers of gurus. No one is better than another. We will be able to grasp the true meaning of this once we look within ourselves and stop placing everything outside of us.

We must learn to work more dimensionally instead of following any kind of dogma or peace organisation. Because of the polarities this disharmony may move either to the left or to the right. Therefore, the profound darkness now found on earth - though very serious - can still be reversed. Now that the moment of truth has arrived, we human beings - in order to salvage the earth - will have to go to the core of our being. The time has come for us to come to grips with the strong discontentment found within ourselves. By working on ourselves and seeking the light within, we will be able to help make the earth a brighter place. In doing so we will create a new harmony and pave the way for peace on earth.
