Runaway Train

Higg(in)s: Do you suppose that anyone could stop a train? Imagine it: a train is barreling along and you place your palm on the engine and press. Does it stop? Of course not. Your interaction with the train lasted less than one second and likely you were killed in the attempt.

You all are experiencing a runaway train. No matter how forcefully you say it, you cannot stop this growing conflict in Israel by saying, “Stop!” You cannot throw enough money at it. Money won’t help. The Universe that provides all things does not respond to no. It only hears yes. You must find something to say yes to. Yes, to mutual respect. Yes, to friendships. Yes, to unlikely friendships. Yes, to cooperation. Yes, to inclusion. Yes, to allowing both sides to have their opinion and to recognizing that both sides are right. Yes, to peaceful resolution of disagreements.

Learn to say yes. Yes is the correct answer.

Find Something to Appreciate About Yourself Today and Every Day

Higg(in)s: What are you noticing about this practice? Look for evidence that you have more positive interactions with others when you think well of yourself.

Appreciation of Those We Despise

Higg(in)s: Finding something to like about those you like is easy. It is easy because when you like someone you magnetically draw from them the best they have to offer. The same works the other way around, when you distrust someone you draw more from them to distrust. Practice finding something to appreciate about yourself, your loved ones, and when you are able, practice finding something to appreciate about those whom you despise.

Why Is it Important to Appreciate Those We Find Difficult?

Higg(in)s: Appreciation is a powerful tool in your toolkit. When you appreciate those whom you dislike and distrust the emotional separation between you becomes smaller, thereby creating greater likelihood that eventually a peaceful resolution will be achieved.

Playing the Appreciation Game

Higg(in)s: Appreciation of others is a spectacularly effective way to promote cooperation between yourself and others. Today, try to find something genuine to appreciate about someone whom you find trying and difficult.

A Peaceful Resolution in Advance

Higg(in)s: Appreciating oneself is one of the most important things anyone can ever do, but especially during this escalating global discomfort. The earth realm is fractal meaning every occurrence is a metaphorical repeat of some other occurrence. If you treat yourself well others will be drawn to do the same. This also applies to appreciating others. Find something to appreciate about someone else today (after you have adequately appreciated yourself). These practices are the application of peaceful resolutions, excepting that with appreciation of self and others, one is applying the peaceful resolution in advance of needing one.

Think Gently Well of Yourself

Higg(in)s: Are you finding things to like about yourself? There are many things good about you. Find one to focus on until you feel uplifted in your heart. This practice is important because when you feel good about yourself others are inspired to treat you better.

We notice that you all spend a significant amount of time railing about how others need to treat you better. You need to treat you better. Then others will fall into line in the natural order of things, with no other work on your part than the effort needed to think gently well of yourself.

Appreciate Breathing

Higg(in)s: Things are heating up, yes? Are you enjoying the conflict and opportunity for growth? Or are you afraid, sickened by the lack of value for life?

A short tutorial:

  1. Spend a few minutes each day breathing out, and then in again. Appreciate how lovely the feeling is as your lungs inflate, deflate, inflate, deflate.
  2. While you are breathing find the peace in your soul. Let peace flood through you. When you get up to move practice taking that wonderful, calm feeling with you.
  3. Look ahead at your future. What would you like to do later today? And tomorrow? Next week? Next year? Twenty years from now?

In short, appreciate the most basic aspect of good health: breathing. Find peace inside yourself regardless of what is happening outside yourself. Make plans. You need to plan to have a future to have a future.

Practice, practice, practice.

Is Being Peace Too Simple an Answer?

Question: Not intending to argue with you, Higg(in)s, but when people are being beheaded it seems impossible that my finding a peaceful resolution to my small issues will stop someone who is planning to behead another.

Higg(in)s: You are right, Friend, it won’t. But you won’t be the person doing the beheading nor will you be beheaded. If you will practice this feeling of peace enough, you will repel negativity from your home, your immediate neighborhood, any place that you are. You will be safe.

Question: What difference does it make if I am safe while millions are not?

Higg(in)s: Certainly, it makes a difference to you?

Question: Of course, I’d rather be safe. Nevertheless, I would like to help resolve the conflicts underway in Ukraine and Israel. How does my safety help Israel?

Higg(in)s: What happens when you drop a stone into water?

Questioner: First there is a splash of water when the stone hits it. The stone sinks. I suppose you are referring to the waves of water that move away from the impact site in concentric circles?

Higg(in)s: Correct. When you are at peace in your heart, concentric waves of peace emanate from you in multi-directional waves. It is a signal of sorts, and it is magnetic. Literally, when you emanate a signal of peace you are a magnet attracting peaceful responses. When enough people decide, as you have, that it is better to be peace and to find peaceful solutions than it is to blame others for your discomfort, solving problems by killing those who do not agree with you, then the pervading energy will be one of cooperation and those who now hold arms will simply lay them down. They will suddenly remember they had something better to do and they will go do it.

Questioner: Again, Higg(in)s, I don’t mean to argue with you. But it could take forever to do this. Thousands are dying now.

Higg(in)s: What does it mean to go viral?

Questioner: It means to become very popular very quickly. It refers to the internet.

Higg(in)s: Will this conversation be published on the internet?

Questioner: Yes.

Higg(in)s: Then allow this to go viral. Within 24 hours from the moment of publication of this conversation the war in Israel and the war in Ukraine could stop using this technique of being peace. That is how fast this technique works. It works almost instantly for the person using it. You just need a large number of people to start practicing peace in the literal space they occupy; to find peaceful resolutions to the smaller issues that arise in a person’s day; to be consistent and persistent about harboring thoughts of peace. It will help, of course, if those people are on or near the front lines of the conflict, but it is not necessary. Those concentric waves of peace will be matched by other peaceful waves and repel waves that do not match it. If there are people in the space being swept over by your waves of peace those people must match your waves of peace with waves of peace of their own, or they must move away where the waves of peace do not reach them.

Mankind has the power to prevent destruction. The problem is that the answer seems too simple. The truth is that peace and appreciation, these two, are the solution to whatever ails you.
