Conflict and Peace

Conflict is when I am, therefore you Have to Be.  Peace is when I is You.

When existence lives in the dualities of itself, then it lives in conflict.  Living in conflict is violence.  Violence is not just the physical manifestation of a murderous intent.  But when existence is in fight with itself.  Like the Ocean, which is in peace with itself up until the surface, where the waves rise and collapse and create violent energy.  These waves don’t need to kill or hurt someone or something, potential violence is its nature.

Violence is of intention.  Intention of existing.  The “moment” when the intention arose in the Universal Consciousness of knowing itself, the first vibration from which the rest manifest, was the beginning of conflict.  To live and engage in dualities is to perpetuate the creational conflict.  To witness the duality without engaging, is an act of Peace….  non-violence.   Non-violence is living in cosmic law, and yet not be of it.

Cosmic law – the inherent property of the Universal Consciousness needs no tweaking.  It cannot be changed or altered.  It runs it course defined by the dualities.

To acknowledge it as it is and doing what we need to do to live our lives from one moment to another without judging ourselves or the creation is to live in Peace.  Peace that comes out of flowing.  Like the soaring eagle which opens its wings and lets the wind currents take over.  Into an Effortless journey.  Weight of judgment does not lend itself to effortless soaring.  It is a journey full of effort and conflict.

When there is no God on a pedestal, no Savior to save one manifestation of itself from another, no “Sinner” looking upto a pedestal or its caretakers, when the God, the Creation, the Soul, the Seer, the Seen, and the act of Seeing are all One, then, the Peaceful Depths of the Ocean can be witnessed and experienced.  However, when there are pedestals and its caretakers, the distinctions and paths – finite as they are – to those distinctions, and a whole gamut of imagined virtues of this existence that is perpetually in inherent conflict; then experience of Peace is an accident, if at all.

Spiritual Peace is not the peace that is often defined by lack of stress.  There still can be conflict of the mind.  Verbally Quiet and lonely a person maybe, but there is conflict nevertheless.  A disquiet that is deeper than verbal and noise.

The deepest part of our soul knows the Peace instinctively, but its articulation via the limitations of mind and body, tries to replicate that Peace within the confines of Dualities and a forever conflicting creation.  The mind is trying to mimic the Peace of the Consciousness for itself.  It is a poor surrogate at best and an illusion at worst.

Peace therefore is not quietening of sound.  Just as non-violence is not refraining from picking up of arms.

Both are myths of mind that have helped create useless enterprises throughout history!
