While we have been focusing this week on understanding who you are, an underlying principle throughout has been a sense of peace.

I have thought all my life about peace, inner peace, outer peace, and I think outer peace is a reflection of inner peace if you're not peaceful with your own self, then you will project it as

violence and conflict in the world. And when a critical mass of people go into that in that direction then you have

things like war and crime and conflict and everything that comes from resentments and grievances.

So you can find inner peace just by allowing your thoughts to settle to their source, which is already peaceful.

So peace is not something that you find, peace is who you are when you're not

overshadowed by the separate self or the separate conflicted self.

I suggest many things to quieten this conflicted separate mind that expresses itself in all forms of violence,

violence in mind, violence in

emotion,

relationships, violence to the ecosystem

and ultimately violence to the ecosystem

and ultimately violence to the world.

Here are my nine rules for ultimately violence to the world.

Here are my nine rules for conflict resolution.

Number one, always treat your adversary or that which you think is your adversary with respect. If you treat them with respect, there is some chance that they will listen forgive you.

If you don't treat them with respect,

they will never forgive you.

Number two, in any conflict,

recognize that there's the perception of injustice on both sides

otherwise there wouldn't be a conflict. So be open about your perception of

injustice, ask the other for their perception of injustice in the same situation.
