What will facilitate peace in the world?

Question from the Internet:

“Will peace occur due to disarmament or justice? What are your viewpoints?”

Peace — from the Hebrew word Shalom that originates from the expression Shlemut, “wholeness”, “completion” — will be achieved when we understand and feel that we need to mutually complement each other as it happens in each and every, closed, integrated living system.

As long as we all sense, perceive, view reality through our own, inherently egocentric, subjective, individualistic viewpoints, we are not suitable for peace. Instead, we will continue the endless ruthless competition, the stubborn fight to prove we are better, stronger, wealthier, that we can control others while trying to excessively accumulate resources and profit for ourselves at the expense of others.

As long as we remain blindly within our instinctive program, the helplessly recurring vicious historic cycles will continue.

Only when we learn how to rise to a higher level of “collective consciousness”, when we willingly, methodically, purposefully build positive, sustainable, mutually responsible and mutually completing interconnections, cooperation above and against our instincts can we understand what peace means and how to sustain it despite everything that separates, rejects us from each other.

This requires a unique, purposeful and practical educational method that is based on Nature’s integral template, on the laws of Nature that govern the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

We do not have any free choice about going in this direction, since it is determined by the above-mentioned laws of Nature. We either follow them, adapt to them willingly, proactively, or it will be the growing crisis, collapse, wars and intolerable suffering that will convince us to change.
