You Are Peace

It is normal for us to feel frequent unease, dissatisfaction, stress, and worse...but it is not natural. Our natural state is vibrant peace. It is in fact what we truly are. We are not our thoughts, emotions, or body. However, fully inhabiting our body with our felt attention quiets the mind and reveals the Peace that we are. The answer to personal suffering--realizing our true nature--is also the answer to global suffering.All social movements, from religions to NGOs to entire nations, will fail to acheive their goals of peace, justice, and harmony as long as they are organized and led by people that do not know who they are. Mistaking ourselves for the "me and my story" character in our heads separates us and makes us perceive others as a threat. We must go inside and fully feel our bodies to perceive our collective oneness as intelligent peace. This is why feeling our body may be the most radical and revolutionary act the world will ever know; there is no greater threat to the current world order that produces violence, inequality, and suffering on a massive scale.Peace is always here waiting to be noticed, waiting to be experienced. It cannot be, nor has it ever been, created; it must be felt now to be recognized. This is why in human history the world has never known peace. The periods of temporary calm we struggle to forge are a worthy endeavor but not what we truly want or need. Once we experience ourselves as peace we will no longer see others as enemies; we will recognize this same peace beneath their facade. Knowing we are One in Peace makes us compassionately help others to see this truth as well. This is the path to world peace.This book is a roadmap back to your true self, a roadmap to peace and enlightenment. You have suffered enough. Come home.
