Peace and Harmony

I was surfing the Internet when I found a “reflection” of my book Creating Happiness Intentionally. It is good and it is well done by Leigh Martinuzzi so I have reproduced what he says below.

My personal experience of inner peace and harmony was to first work through, during active meditation, acceptance and cooperation. In other words acceptance of every single thing that I had done in my life, or that anyone had done against me, or with me, or to me. To accept and cooperate with it. There's not much sense in not cooperating, because it's happened, so that's it. The next process for me was to find out about unconditional love of self and others, about totally loving, no matter who it involves, or what has happened. And thirdly, the process of forgiveness. Forgiveness is a big one ' on the Peaceful Place CD number 13 - Inner Peace and Harmony I do a very shortened version of this. Once the process of acceptance, cooperation, unconditional love and forgiveness took place within my life then I could delve deeper and deeper and find the real inner me - a person that I can live with. Someone in fact that I would like to spend the rest of my life with. Not a lot of choice in that is there, but you know it's a really good thing to know that it's OK to live with myself. The process of Inner Peace is different for all of us. We all have different journeys. I'm sure the active meditation techniques can be useful and will complement anything else you do towards achieving your own inner peace.

Twenty years ago I needed to complete some questions prepared by Caroline Jones so that she could work out what questions to ask me in an ABC interview in Caroline’s program “The Search For Meaning”.

I contend that any spiritual search for God that happens anywhere in humanity, no matter what might be the religious framework of that search, is a search for the same thing that everybody else is looking for. This applies whether we want to reach out for God or whether we want to simply wait for God. It also applies if we believe that God is within us all.
