Question: How would we apply being peace to the conflict in Israel?

Higg(in)s: Let’s address this with a metaphor. Let’s pretend that you are in a collision with your car. It is a small one. No one is injured. Still, you must stop and exchange information and then deal with the insurance company and the car repair shop. It is inconvenient and expensive for both parties. If, prior to leaving home that morning, you had set your intent on safety, on financial ease, on timely arrival to your destinations, and on having pleasant experiences accompanying you through the day, this small but inconvenient interaction could not have occurred. (Assuming that you were able to carry that energetic feel with you.)

In this metaphor, you have a mess to clean up. Messes take time and you handle them how you will. The current situation in Israel can be likened to this collision. Handle it in the best way you know how. Simultaneously, begin setting your intention on peace and peaceful resolution. Learn to handle your own day in peace, applying peaceful resolutions to your own issues. Before you can adequately resolve such a large conflict, you must be able to solve smaller scale conflicts in your own home, in your own life. As you do so, your life will smooth out. As many of you practice applying peaceful resolutions, conflicts everywhere will begin to soften and slip away. People involved in this massive conflict will lose interest and be inspired to different action, action that is harmless at first, and eventually positively constructive.

When speaking of Israel (or Ukraine) everyone hopes for an immediate and lasting cease fire. However, we know that a more lasting and fruitful result would come from the technique described above. It is a simple solution. It is effective. It costs nothing.
