Creating peace
is more about the process
than the outcome

 

Envisioning peace is a huge leap towards peace, but actually getting to peace can be a massive undertaking!

To a Love Master, there is no other path worth choosing than genuine peace. Even if it takes a long, long time to get to peace, that is better than living life in the middle of a never-ending, perpetual conflict.

A Love Master sets in motion a peace process. This is a vital principle to understand. Creating peace is more about the “process” than the “outcome.”

You know that many things need to happen to get to peace:

  • Feelings need to get out.
  • Good listening needs to take place.
  • Judgment and criticism need to be released.
  • All parties will eventually need to move past
    the “story.”
  • Loving speech will need to emerge.
  • Solutions will need to be explored that create
  • unity, justice, and satisfaction.
  • There will need to be openings for forgiveness.
  • There will need to a peace ending.

That’s a lot of process that needs to take place on the path to peace, but that is the secret of creating peace. It’s all about the process.

A Love Master understands this and sets in motion a peace process even though there may be a stalemate, no hope of peace, or even no interest in peace. Outcomes are not the issue. Setting in motion a process is the key.

For example, after envisioning peace in your private thinking and reminding yourself of all the steps that may be needed, you might begin by saying, “I have a vision of peace. Even though it may seem impossible or far off, I’d like to share it.” Then ask if they would like to share their vision of peace.

Or you might say, “Let’s set in motion some steps that can lead to peace. Why don’t you begin by sharing what’s in your heart.” Or you might say, “I don’t want you to suffer any more. I want peace for you. Let’s move together to a place of healing and each share our best ideas for creating peace.”

It’s not about a particular action or the right words. There are many choices. It’s about setting a tone and setting in motion a process that can lead to peace.

Your attitude of peace as a Love Master sets in motion a peace process.
