How can we achieve inner and “outer” peace?!

Question from the Internet:

“How can I find peace in my life?”

Peace is a unique equilibrium between opposite, warring forces, qualities that want to destroy each other but a unique balance and homeostasis is created between them.

We can observe this “peace”, balance and homeostasis within our own biological bodies.

When we look at certain malfunctions, illnesses like autoimmune diseases, for example, the general balance is broken and parts of the body start attacking and destroying other parts of the body, simply by performing their normal function without the balancing control, communication.

Cancer is a different kind of example when certain cells again lose their usual mutual integration with the rest of the body and their instinctive self-preservation, need to serve themselves and consume becomes unbalanced, unregulated and they simply consume everything until the body is destroyed.

It is the same with us.

As long as we are lacking the sense of benevolent, finely controlled mutual integration between us, as long as we do not feel that we all belong to the same, single, living organism, as long as our instinctive urges to serve ourselves, to accumulate resources for ourselves at all cost, to ruthlessly compete for survival defines our existence, there will be no peace.

For true peace, we have to find a force, a certain control that can soothe, harness and complement our inherently egocentric, destructive, exploitative tendencies. We can learn how to do this by harnessing available natural, evolutionary forces that govern the general balance and homeostasis in Nature which is the primary condition for life and optimal development.

In order for “external peace” and balance to unfold, we have to work on this inner peace, finding the right balance between our egocentric survival instincts and the external homeostasis within the whole system.

We have a unique, purposeful and practical educational method — based on Nature’s primary laws that govern the overall, benevolent mutual integration — that can help us consciously achieve what is automatic and instinctive for the rest of Nature. But it is specifically this conscious mutual integration with each other and Nature that will make us truly Human.
