Inner Peace

Recently, I had a conversation with a dear friend who reminded me of a vision regarding peace. 

Bisabuello came to me and said that prayer works, but prayer for world peace is like the newspaper horoscope; vague enough to resonate, abstract enough not to fully land anywhere.

“The way to world peace is to find compassion and peace within and pass it on to anyone open and willing to receive it. There is no individual capable of manifesting world peace. If they could, we would have seen it by now.”

This morning, I asked if he’d elaborate on this. Here’s what he had to say: 

Inner peace may not stop global wars or conflict with immediacy, but addresses the internal wars that the external world reflects. 

With each internal war transmuted into awareness, compassion and gratitude, though, we shift perspective and the immediate environment’s energy; energy/grid workers.

When others enter the field of someone who has the ability to alchemize the lower frequencies into a higher one, they too may begin to find that compassion and inner peace. 

Perspective, awareness, compassion, and gratitude are key to inner peace that leads to world peace. World peace doesn’t abolish conflict or confrontation, though. It shifts the way the operating ego, the ego mind, the shadow self engage in conflict and confrontation.

When we’re in the mind, led by ego, and are met with conflict and confrontation we are controlled, and sometimes blinded, by the chemical reaction of our nervous system. Here, our ego mind determines and attaches to winners/losers, good/bad, right/wrong, protagonist/antagonist, hero/villain, victim/perpetrator. 

It’s the patterning of our ego mind, shadow self, who yells, argues, complains, seeks control and contrived outcomes in its favor. It’s these parts of ourselves who want to preserve and protect the sense of self and perceived purpose in order to reach higher ground. 

The thing is, these parts of ourselves don’t realize they’re in the underworld, in resistance. The underworld bears many lessons that lead us back to alignment. Namely, it shows us those sharp edges of how we’ve become who we’re not. 

When we have an integrated awareness of these activations rooted in compassion and gratitude, we can detach from the old patterning to see below the surface with a softer gaze; what’s not said but speaks loudly to those who listen.

If even 50% of the globe were to wake up tomorrow and pray for inner peace, we would see a shift in the micro that leads to a shift in the macro levels of humanity.

But, again, it must be rooted in compassion and gratitude. One full of resentment will not find inner peace without taking the opportunity to softly examine the resentment.

Is this akin to identifying an unspoken need?

Yes, and more. For many, this process will require reflecting across timelines of wounded selves; child, teen, adolescent, adult, past life. 

Once someone has softened and detached to perceive their emotional activation from a different angle, they often identify that part of themselves that’s experiencing a kind of neglect. 

From there, we can hold that part with compassion for we now understand a bit more about the surfacing residual energy, the unfulfilled opportunity for healing and transcendence.

From there, we can hold gratitude for all the ways this/these parts helped us survive and contributed to our journey. 

This is not a ‘love and light’ process, though it leads there eventually. This requires the ego to look at aspects of its being it wishes to deny or disown. It requires radical honesty that often initiates an existential crisis, a shattering of perspective and sense of self. 

Once we reach compassion and gratitude where the lower frequency is transmuted, we’re liberated and can transcend to the middle world.

This is not a ‘one-and-done’ endeavor. This kind of journey is not for the faint of heart. It is deeply, deeply uncomfortable. 

That’s the point, growing pains. 

Opportunities will arise to learn more about and heal these parts. If someone has transmuted their resentment, they will be presented with experiences that induce the resentment patterning in order to integrate and solidify the newfound awareness, compassion and gratitude that develops the new patterning.

This cycle continues seasonally. There is no end to healing; though, it may at times seem as though we or someone else has ‘made it.’ Even those labeled guru, shaman, master of XYZ, etc are still presented with cycles that challenge them. 

If the lessons and new patterns are integrated into our being, we reach a point where we no longer require as much to traverse the experience. It becomes more natural. 

We become unfuckwithable.

Essentially. Then the next part will step forward to announce ‘I have needs, too!’ And the next wave forms…
