I have never met anyone who didn't want peace on earth. Armies don't call themselves armies any more, they are peace keeping forces. Freedom fighters are supposedly not wanting to interfere with the liberty of others, but to secure their own liberty. The fact that they might kill or imprison people to gain their freedom does not seem to cause them any intellectual difficulty. They are fighting for what they hold dear: the right to live freely and in peace.

They don't know what else to do. My bet is that even those people who blew up the London underground did so in some kind of bid to create a better life for themselves, rather than to deliberately commit a heinous and terrible crime. They must have had very strong faith (misguided as it might have been) and hope that their desperate acts would cause things to change.

Things are changing, but perhaps not as they wanted. When faced with violence, usually people react with violence. It is an incredible tribute to the British people and their Prime Minister Mr. Blair, that there was no knee jerk reaction or retribution as we saw several years ago with the American bombings. As Mahatma Gandhi said, there is no road to peace, peace is the road. No matter how we are treated, it is only through the blessing of divine peace that we are capable of being harmless, and through which we are vibrationally capable of the experience of peace.

When peace (Shanti) fills our hearts, only then can we know peace. Our mission at the Harmony Centre is to help people individually to find Shanti which translates into their outer life as a greater degree of harmony. Eventually we will help institutions and nations, who are only groups of people after all, to do the same. Divine connection and self empowerment are part of this process. Whether you want a better medical system, better education for our kids or world peace, empowered and divinely connected people are required to get it happening. Thus, institutions like the Harmony Center are at the root of sustained and potent, peaceful, individual, local, societal and world change.

 
Personal Issues

It is through a balanced and peaceful approach to our own personal challenges that we grow and experience Shanti. I will share with you a personal story from my own week that was. Yesterday, my eight year old son William, who is away skiing with his father in Falls Creek, broke his leg.

His dad rang me, and instantly I felt a range of emotions, fear, anger, the desire to blame someone (his binding failed to release when he fell, causing a spiral fracture of both bones in his leg) compassion, a burning pull to get on a plane and go to Albury to be with him etc. My heart chakra felt like someone had poured cement into it.

I spoke to William who was by this time at the small medical unit at Falls Creek, he had been given morphine and was very shaky and scared. I gave him healing over the phone and calmed him down and released the pain. (I thought, what a gift to have this skill, so important to teach other parents) I spoke calmly and encouragingly to his dad (my ex husband) also, and left William in his dad's competent and loving care.

Without what I have learned from my teachers and put into practice, I would not have been able to do this. I would not have known how to be peaceful in this situation. I would undoubtedly have screamed at Gordon (my ex) because I would not have been able to control my frustration. The fact that it had nothing to do with him would have been irrelevant. I probably would have rushed down there and taken charge, (I have excellent control freak capabilities) annoying Gordon and everyone else in the process. Instead, I cried when I got off the phone, and took the time to feel my feelings. This got the cement out of my heart chakra, and then I meditated and sent lots of healing. I asked the Divine Mother to bless and care for him.

When William got to Albury Hospital, there was no delay and he was treated quickly. One of the leading orthopedic surgeons from Sydney who I knew just happened to be there and treated him. He did not need surgery, the bones had moved back into place, and a cast was applied. Thank you God.

I am sharing this with you as an example of how we can bring Shanti into the ups and downs of daily life. These things take practice, and I don't always get it right. When I make mistakes, I energetically rub it out with the techniques I teach in Soul connection, and forgive myself, make amends and move on. We do our best, perfection is not mandatory!
