Peace
In this age we cannot afford to be satisfied with simply
our own well- being.
“Personal salvation” will not save us from a world in peril.
We need to seek for a Greater truth, beyond ourselves,
both in this world and in the realm of spiritual realities.
We need all the help that we can get.

Myth Debunked
Its discouraging to think that religion, with its beautiful ideals and founders, has been a major cause of war through time. This is a myth that needs to be debunked, for the healing of the hearts. Actually, religion’s own confusion and diversion has caused much disunity, yet in history we see relatively few wars that have been undertaken for religious causes. For example, out of the over 1700 known wars in history only 123 involved religion -- that's less than 7 % of all wars and less than 2% of all casualties. This is a myth that needs to be debunked, for the healing of the hearts.
Spirit is not a perpetrator of war. Rulers have abused it, but the secular forces will kill us faster, especially if we don't take our destiny in hand together with the right to enjoy the paths we have and to create new and healthy roads to unity, community and soulful answers. Spirit, holds much of love and answers needed for our world.

Craving for Peace
How can we be satisfied as long as the world suffers from strife, disunity,
injustice and the dire conditions
we see today?
We are one Spirit, one soul in many bodies.
To know this as true and real, to be kind to one another and create a just and peaceful world, we must be in touch with the peace of our own souls.
It will take this power, a power of the Spirit, to bring unity, peace and healing throughout the world. Below are some spiritual principles needed for the achievement of peace as brought forth by a modern faith and upheld in Interfaith and other circles.
