Question from the Internet:

“What is your perspective of peace?”

We best understand “peace” if we observe it through its original Hebrew translation, peace- shalom. The word “shalom” comes from the word “shlemut”, which means wholeness, complementation or completion.

“True peace” is a state, when originally diverse, seemingly incompatible pieces, elements comprise a perfect whole, each finding their most optimal, mutually complementing role in the puzzle.

In the state of “true peace” no individual characteristics, qualities are oppressed or erased it is the opposite, each unique, individual quality — even if they initially look “negative, destructive, incompatible” is augmented, sorted, protected, so they can fulfil their unique, irreplaceable role, function in the single, living “mosaic”.

In Nature, this unfolds automatically, instinctively, guided by Nature’s laws and the evolutionary process. Only Human beings have to learn and implement this most optimal mutual integration consciously, willingly, through their own efforts.

It is this conscious, willing, purposeful effort — against and above our inherently “unnatural”, cancer-like, egocentric and exploitative nature — that will make us “truly Human”: a being that becomes similar to Nature by its own effort above its original instincts.

This will enable us to achieve our unique, evolutionary Human role in Nature: becoming the system’s only fully conscious, seamlessly integrated and at the same time independent observers and partners.

Then, we will reach and understand the true state of peace.
