This post is exactly as the title states. 10 magnificent messages that we can use use to spread peace. I won’t leave you salivating any longer. Share these messages with everyone you know.
1. Spread Peace – Nowness
I remember watching a program by the noted physicist and musician Brian Cox on the BBC regarding time.
One of the things he talked about was that because things only happen after an interval, we can never experience the now. For example, the light from the Sun takes eight minutes to reach our eyes. It then takes time for the brain to translate what it sees.
I disagree with Brian because there was something he forgot to mention. He forgot to mention what I experience immediately with my creative faculties. If I close my eyes and picture a boat that experience is immediate for me. And so, with that creative talent, I can then experience being in the now.
Even if, in reality, it is not the case, I can still come as close to that experience of now that my mind will allow. That feeling of being present is a pinnacle of spiritual state whilst in a body. It is an amazing feeling which is unmatched.
Spread the message to the world of the beauty of being in the now.
2. Spread Peace – Decisiveness
The power of decision is the most powerful innate gift that we all have. There are endless debates going on around the world about whether we have the free will to choose or whether everything is just fate. Who cares?! I for one do not!
It’s irrelevant whether we have free will or not but I choose to live my life that way. I don’t care what I’m fated to be or do, I will just act as if I can choose my life every single step of the way. I will live as if I have given the gift of choice or free will and will live according to that doctrine.
I will make things happen through my decision rather than wait for them to happen through some unknown cosmic force.
Spread the message to live as if we are creatures that have free will. It’s the more blessed of the two schools of thought.
3. Spread Peace – Attraction
I still think that the law of attraction is still probably one of the least understood concepts in the world of personal development. I was at a seminar a few years back. The lady sitting next to me was telling me how she’d met the man of her dreams and that she hadn’t even used the law of attraction.
It took me a long time to shake off my laughter before I explained to her that she could not, not have used the law of attraction. It is never switched on or off by the way we think. It is always on. Her attracting the perfect man was still the law of attraction.
She did not do it at the level of conscious thought. In fact the law of attraction does not work at the level of conscious thought. It works only at the level of unconscious thought. I tried to explain that to her but she still didn’t seem to get it and insisted that she hadn’t used the law of attraction to get her man.
Spread the message that the law of attraction is a universal constant. It cannot be switched off. All we can do is direct our unconscious mind to what we want the most.
4. Spread Peace – Wealth Creation
Money is neither good or evil. It is a means. You decide then end. I was watching a show the other day about Monaco. It is probably the most affluent place in the world and it has very little, if any, crime at all. In fact the presenter showed an example of a Monaco newspaper and a British newspaper.
The front of the British paper was full of doom and gloom and the front of the Monaco paper was about yachts! It also had a lovely story in there about a 90 year old man who managed to go hand gliding. An ever so slight contrast.
Money can be used for evil but it can also do amazing things. I believe everyone on the planet has a right to feel wealthy. It doesn’t matter if you earn £10,000 a year or £100,000, you can feel wealthy. It is entirely the way that money is perceived and what is done with it.
Spread the message that wealth is a mindset which everyone has the right to and is capable of creating.
5. Spread Peace – Synchronicity
When those spooky events occur, like when a person calls just as you were thinking about them, it is not only a sign of our messages being sent out but they are also being received. Pay attention to those events as they are laying out of map of what we are thinking or desiring at a deeper level.
Every human being has experienced an event of this kind. We are all capable of experiencing serendipity or providence and it is never by accident. Those events are meant to be through some unconscious desire. Whether your are the sender or receiver pay attention to them and take note when they happen.
Spread the word that synchronous events are not by accident. It is a pair with where intention has reached harmony.
6. Spread Peace – Spirituality
Spirituality is not where you are or what you do, it is how you do it. Your golf swing can be a deep spiritual experience for you. Your business is a spiritual quest to create wealth for many people. Your one night stand with a stranger can be a deep spiritual experience.
With the understanding that anything can be spiritual suddenly things don’t seem mundane. You start to feel that your actions have a deeper purpose and meaning. When I walk it’s a spiritual experience. When I write it’s a spiritual experience. When I stand on a stage in front of hundreds of people it is a spiritual experience.
Begin seeing your actions with new eyes. That they have a deeper meaning on a cosmic level.
Spread the message that anything can be spiritual.
7. Spread Peace Mindfulness
Mindfulness is often associated with Buddhism but I see it as something that can be implemented in ones life regardless of religion. Being mindful is about bringing fourth to the conscious mind the amazing things that we do unconsciously. A great example is becoming aware of your heartbeat. Ask yourself what is keeping your heart beating?
Don’t focus too much on the answer though, just focus on the amazing feat of nature that it is. The chemical reactions or the heart pumping blood around the body. Another simple one observing you mind and body as you move your arm. What is the driver?
It is not the answers you are seeking through this process. It is simply paying attention to the miraculous processes that are going on all the time whilst you are unaware.
Spread the message of the practise of mindfulness and let all liberate their minds.
8. Spread Peace – Purpose
Everyone has a purpose, not everyone discovers what that is. Our purpose is set way before we are born. As we get older we want to find that purpose and fulfil it. Those who do are happy and those who do not feel helpless.
You can find your purpose by discovering what really makes you happy and what things really make you enjoy life. If you are truly lost then my most powerful suggestion to you is to help others find their purpose and you will move a step closer to finding yours.
You existence is not a mishap, it was intended. When it was intended there was reason. There is a purpose we all share in that we all want to constantly recreate ourselves. Then there is another purpose which is unique to you.
Spread the message of our common purpose and the discovery of our unique purpose.
9. Spread Peace – Oneness
There is a general consensus among the great minds across the globe that we are connected in some way. I believe we are actually connected in two ways. The first of which is on the physical level. We are interconnected the way that is demonstrated through non-local connection or entanglement.
I also believe we are connected at a non-physical or incorporeal level; a level that cannot be tested or experimented with scientific instruments. It can only be experienced once we leave the physical plain and enter the alternate realms. Whether that be through death, astral projection or meditation.
I’m totally open to the fact that I could be completely wrong. However, the attitude that comes with knowing that I am connected to everyone and everything, means that I am more likely to treat them equally. It means that all things become sacred. If everything is part of me and I am part of everything then karma is irrelevant. It means that as a natural consequence I will treat them with reverence and a naturally affinity.
Spread the message to treat everyone and everything as if you are connected with them.
10. Spread Peace – Love
Love is an amazing word. There are so many flavours of love. The love you have for a spouse. The love you have for your friends and family. The love you have for your laptop if you’re a blogger.
I believe the word love to be synonymous with gratitude and appreciation. Many people give those words different meanings but I believe at the core level they are equal.
You don’t need a lecture from me on what love is, but all I will say is live a life filled with love. Give it, receive it, have it and never be ashamed of it.
Spread the message to the world to love more! Love things, love people, love life challenges and most importantly, love yourself!
What a wonderful list, and a wonderful message. Are you thinking of running for the job of ruler of the world anytime soon, you’ve got my vote! As I was reading your list, I was wondering when/if you were going to get to gratitude. I love that you’ve dealt with gratitude under the heading of “love”. I think that’s a wonderful way to look at it – real gratitude, at the heart of it (no pun intended) is about loving what you already have in your life. Just a beautiful post, thanks.
LOL @ ruler of the world…maybe and who knows, I may even give Obama a run for his money! π
Great list and each one certainly has its significance . I particularly love the whole concept in #1 – our creative faculties. Thanks for posting π
My pleasure Fatima and thank you so much leaving your message!
Hi Amit,
Great stuff. I really love what you said regarding spirituality. I often say that if it ain’t practical it ain’t spiritual. Like you said, practicing a golf swing, doing business etc. can be a very spiritual experience. It’s not about sitting atop a mountain with our palms up chanting… that’s great… but what does that have to do with living my day to day existence? Spirituality is a very practical endeavor that can be practiced everyday in myriad different ways.
What does it have to do? For me, the point I was giving more meaning and purpose to the things I do on a regular basis which might seem mundane to myself or others in the same boat. π
Beautiful post and well said.
Prot: “You know what I’ve learned about your planet? There’s enough life on Earth to fill 50 planets. Plants, animals, people, fungi, viruses, all jostling to find their place, bouncing off each other, feeding off each other. Connected.”
Thank you Amie and that’s a great quote, i’m going to add it to the post! π
Amen! What a great post Amit. You’ve really covered some serious ideas here. I always come back to love as being the unifying theme for everything. When we believe that everything is connected in the moment by love, we can be present, attract whatever we desire and fuflill our purpose. Lovely post!
Phil
Thank you Phil and a nice little summary there about the message! π
Love is the most powerful positive emotion any human being can obtain. We need to show more of it on a more consistent basis. When we do this, our life becomes more enjoyable and we tend to live a more positive lifestyle rather than a negative one at best.
Well said Jonathan and you’ve made the point that matters the most of all! π
Interesting bit about the difference between the front page of the British and Monaco’s paper. I need to start being observant about what is appearing on the front of my country’s papers. If I am not wrong, it should be no different from most other newspapers of the world in its reports on violence, disasters and fear-related issues.
It sure did make for less interesting reading but to be honest I know which I’d rather prefer. π
Excellent list! Thank you so much for these useful and concise messages. : )
Thanks Milan!
The day you published this post, there was a line that had been going through my mind: “The World In My Hands”.
And so i was thrilled to see this post later that day. The picture spoke more than a thousand words.
Many thanks.
Synchronicity in motion Chris. When I saw that picture I knew straight away it was the perfect one for this post! π
Amit – I loved the title of this post. Almost everything I value highly is listed here. Thank you for the inspiration!
My pleasure Sandra and thank you so much for retweeting and sharing!
Awesome article! I can’t pick my favourite because I love all the points u made! π
But I must say, I disagree about your comment that karma is irrelevant (under Oneness) . The notion of karma is somewhat misinterpreted these days but the general idea is that every action has an equal and an opposite REaction. Therefore, karma = oneness = purpose = synchronicity because we are all connected to each other physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually so whatever we do will have an impact on others and vice versa.
Spread this message! π
Exactly – if we live with the consciousness of ‘oneness’ the thinking about Karma is ‘irrelevant’ because you already know that what ever you do to others, you do unto yourself. The true karma is knowing that whatever I do to another I do to myself because we are all connected.
Exactly so karma is completely relevant irrespective of how you choose to connect the dots.
What a mindful post Amit. Thank you so much.
And what’s super interesting is many of these messages have a great interlink to each other and in some cases dependent.
Hey Naveen, so sorry for my slow reply. I’m so glad you enjoyed this piece and thank you so much for connecting. Truly hope to hear more comments from you in the future.
