Q: Is protesting a form of peaceful resolution?
H: Generally, protesting is not an effective form of peaceful resolution. It is a form of resistance and resistance is never effective in creating what you want. Resistance creates more of what you do not want. When you find yourself wanting to protest a thing, we encourage you to take a moment to visualize what the opposite of the current situation is. Then we encourage you to take action towards that. Taking positive forward action is preferable to resistance.
Q: That takes us all the way back to our question of some days ago. How do we achieve World Peace?
H: You will achieve world peace by uplifting one person at a time into wanting to, and having the opportunity to, express their best self.
Q: Anything I do seems so small. World Peace will take ages and many people will die before what I can think up to do will have effect.
H: With an attitude like that, yes it will take a long time. Friend, do what brings you joy and eager anticipation and a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction. Bring peace into your heart, into your home, into your neighborhood. That is the most effective way to stimulate peace in the world.
Q: I feel as though you are saying that I cannot do anything to stop the war in Ukraine or help in Israel and Gaza.
H: You cannot say, “Stop!” and have conflict stop. No matter how loudly you yell at others to stop you are only creating more conflict. You must recognize that shouting at others to stop what they are doing is conflict in and of itself?
You be peace. You find others like yourself (and there are MANY) who wish for peace. You all begin thinking positively about peace and what peace looks like. The collective conscious will shift towards these peaceful ideas when enough people join in the positive thought process. It will not come before that. The harder you yell, “Stop!” the longer peace will take to arrive.
Begin yelling things such as, “Come work with me! Come create with me! You will love this work! You will love working in this unique environment that is conducive to a satisfying home life! You will leave work every day feeling fulfilled and uplifted! Come!”
Q: I think I am beginning to understand what you mean. I can be of help to no one until I am solid in myself. Then I am an uplifter of others. Not uplifting them because they are not capable of uplifting themselves, but uplifter meaning offering avenues for others to achieve their dreams. For example, I had lunch at the Clay Pit in Mill Creek yesterday. Every person working there, every person who had a hand in growing the food we ate, the delivery drivers, the people who built the building…. All these people had the opportunity to chase their dream because I ate lunch out. Is that sort of what you mean?
H: Yes. You do you in such a way that you inspire others to be their best self, too. That is the best avenue to peace.
