PEACEFUL RESOLUTIONS

BY : ELISABETH BABARCI

How to foster peace and coexistence? We must draw our attention to deep inner reflections on destruction and the state of enduring distress. What is destruction? Suffering, pain, and sacrifice which results and causes extreme aversion, disassociation of reality and self, fragmentation of the soul, and an adoption of the belief or perception of threat, harm, and chaos are the natural states of our existence. What we define within our mindset must undertake a reformation. To accept that suffering, hardship, or valence of unpleasantness is to endure a full spectrum of life, is negligent, absurd, and should not be adopted as the norm as normative human behaviour.

There is a quote that states that “Those that have lost everything, fear nothing,” and we have blindly accepted that through difficulty character is then presented. However, what if we evoked deep inner reflections to ask ourselves whose normative responses we adopted to have accepted this as our fate? Character is represented in our choices, and to not act is a response as well. To be responsible and accountable is to take into account how our actions impact others.

Suffering, pain, chaos, and negative emotions are a symptom of dystopian society however, are not the root cause. Many have accepted that their truth or meaning will be a result from sacrifice or allowing imposed harm within their existence. It may be presented in our external reality however, if one removes themselves from catastrophic situations would it persist? Even worse, what has occurred within humanity that we allow suffering to be imposed on others at such great magnitude? If we remain silent, are we then in agreement or complacent?

Stress, trauma, and agony results in great physical and mental strain — it even affects our neurological process within life. Allowing constant conscious endurance of pain leads to neurological disorders, malfunctions of the body and development, which then leads to our internal and external environment being inhospitable and disruptive.

One has to remember, we do not have to allow it to persist or accept the reality of the situation to end in fragmentation. Wars deteriorates the fabric within society causing division, polarity, creating the enemy or other, and breaks the moral, ethical, principles and foundation of tradition or what we hold sacred.

When we become mindful, present, aware of our actions, not allowing our emotions to overtake our rationality, remaining neutral until we observe all the facts, or willfully choose to abstain from such detrimental acts of inhumanity or not allowing deterioration of the minds and souls of others — we then recognize the destructive nature of war mindset and evolve from it.

Growth, evolution, and transformation cannot take root on scorched land. When we allow others to wreak or create havoc or turbulence, it leads to no solutions, or enlightened conscious awareness. To be in a state of fear, panic, disorder, disassociation of life, or no motivation causes one to lose faith in a better tomorrow. What is the incentive to get better when it is accepted as the normative state?

War is not our natural state. Our purpose is to achieve equilibrium, harmony, and cohesiveness. Remaining present, not accepting our current life situation, acknowledging how the emotions of turmoil affects us as human beings enables us to have compassion for others. To deny creativity, solutions or even life, is abstaining from the natural laws of abundance, freedom, and peace. Resistance to any form of violence is not an indication of weakness, it is the courage and strength to seek peaceful relations, instead of irrational actions which in short term might lead to satisfaction but long term causes the destruction of the moral fabric of existence.

Motivation to move or distance ourselves, away from those that cause harm, enables us the freedom and emancipation from enduring destruction to the self and others. When we seek justice and not revenge, it is a moral paradox, as we have to question, what justice represents to one may not be to another, and revenge leads to a cyclical nature of vindictive manoeuvres which inflicts harm on others thus, escalating to a karmic response.

To accept that one deserves punishment, sacrifice, hardship, pain, powerlessness is a generational mindset to accept fear. To engage in vengeance, or to cause punishment is by itself a force that is not of peaceful rational mindset.

To be rational, logical, and patient is ascended knowledge. When one experiences anger, it is best to refrain from any intentional actions, thoughts, or words that can deteriorate relationships.

To live within coexistence is to enable respect, tolerance, and acceptance of one another. If one feels superior to dominate another — it is representative of a society that has undergone moral and ethical deterioration. Our actions have consequences, and we must be mindful that the actions of today can destroy the families or societies of tomorrow.

Evoking reason, impartiality, logic, reasoning, compassion, empathy, understanding, and patience are essential elements and ingredients in peace keeping and building. Making sensible decisions based on logical principles rather than emotion is what separates us from warfare mindset. When one critically examines the information, observing evidence and options available, we then allow the mind to look progressively to seek resolutions. Always be mindful that our emotions within time will restore back to harmony. If a situation causes deterioration of your inner peace or makes you question your moral judgment, it is not in alignment for the highest good. Irrationality leads to inconsistency and uncertainty and is rewarded with a karmic imprint, that one will hold for several lifetimes, until the lesson or cycle has broken.

Through diplomatic approaches, dialogue, deliberation, seeking peaceful resolution, and enforcement of intervention techniques can minimize and mitigate the impact of disturbances and conflicts. Being the first to initiate reconciliation, seeking inner forgiveness to emancipate the soul, and evoking discipline to learn to rise above and to make better choices enables cooperation, conciliation while maintaining integrity, standards, principles, respect and honour.

Within the world, we have a choice to evoke peace through negotiation and mediation. To be mindful and aware of human suffering is the first step to engage in humanitarian efforts to protect human welfare. To become a cohesive whole, the primary objective is to promote human dignity and to adopt tolerance, acceptance, and inclusion. We all are paramount in enabling peaceful efforts to alleviate human suffering, improve the welfare and happiness of others, to promote security and safety, and to help those that have experienced trauma heal and recover. We are here to make a difference, our actions echo in all space and time, we have the option and the gift to foster positive change for future generations. Be the difference.
