How to create peace in a difficult situation

Some people speak of dream relationships where they always get along with others.  You may wonder how to create peace in what seems to you to be a difficult situation.    Many ways exist to perceive and respond.  Each one tells you things about your state of being.

1) Consider the possibility you suffer from misunderstanding and misapprehension.  Clarify the mind, purify heart and sactify life.

2) Imagine the experience of showing compassion.  Demonstrate you empathize or relate to concern expressed by another.

3) Discern the messages your behaviour sends.  All you do echoes scales (for acceptance/ rejection), motives, principles, and values.

4) Recognize problems created in mind are only ever solved there.  In order to conquer mind, you must take steps to transcend it.

5) Awaken to the role of consciousness in all this.  Sense true nature reveals itself when you accept your role in all that you create.

Love # 4! If we could always remember this we would find greater joy and lasting peace.

Nice. I'll remember this :)

Mark, everything is possible. Only the mind conditions you to believe otherwise, until you see through that.

Rizal,
One view is that as you attune to true self, you detach from 'being this or that', and remember how it feels to simply be.

Hi LIara – it is so interesting that we so often misunderstand the other side of the story .. and I love your phrases ... “clarify the mind, purify heart and sanctify life” .. sums up so much. Empathy is such a strong force and such a diplomatic approach. The onion scales .. give a good visual for those messages. Transcend the mind .. work it through yourself. I look forward to awakening ... thanks - Hilary
