THE INVITATION
“You hold in your hand an invitation: to remember the transforming power of forgiveness and loving kindness. To remember that no matter where you are and what you face, within your heart peace is possible.” - Jack Kornfield
Some say that we have passed the point of no return to be able to achieve true world peace. Given the contentious energy and seemingly endless conflicts among nations, one has to pause to consider this idea. The question was posed on Reddit of whether world peace is possible. Here are a few quotes from readers who responded.
“I think you just don't understand real world and potential technological solutions to the "world peace" dilemma. In fact, what we have now is very close to world peace, all things considered, that with nuclear weapons and potential of mutual destruction.”
“It may be impossible but it is NOT something to stop fighting for. It must remain the highest ideal for which to strive. Urging humanity to do anything else is cynical lunacy, ensuring humans remain feral animals hell-bent on destruction.”
“People need to make peace in their own little worlds before even considering trying to achieve world peace.”
Dear Angels, have we reached a place where we are more cynical than hopeful regarding achieving peace in our world? I know we have a lot of work to do and I have to believe that the majority of people want peace as opposed to what we have now with conflicts and wars going on worldwide.
Dear Ones, one of the responses that you shared stands out more than others. It is imperative to make peace in your own self, your own circle first before you can see it in the world. So often you forget how close you are to peace, how simple it can be to step back into the calmness of your own heart. Take a moment now to breathe deeply. Feel the air as it enters your body, filling you with life, and as it leaves, let it carry away any heaviness or worry that may have settled in. Each breath is an invitation to reconnect with the truth that peace is possible. No matter where you are or what you face, peace is always within reach. It begins by turning inward and embracing forgiveness. Not just for others, but for yourself. How many times have you carried the weight of guilt, resentment, or anger, unknowingly blocking the flow of love and peace that wants to pour into your lives? Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door to freedom. It says, "I release this. I am ready to move forward with love." When you choose to forgive, you choose to let go of the past and the pain it may have caused. You allow space for something new and beautiful to blossom within—a softness, a compassion that begins to extend outward in waves of loving kindness. This is the gift that keeps giving. As you practice loving kindness toward yourself, it naturally flows toward others, transforming not only your inner world but also the world around you. You may not always be able to change the circumstances you find yourselves in, but you can always change how you respond. By choosing love, by choosing peace, you become the calm in the storm. You become the light that shines even in the darkest of times. So today, we invite you to remember. Remember that within your heart, peace is possible. Remember that forgiveness and loving kindness are not just lofty ideals but tangible forces of transformation. With every act of compassion, every release of old hurts, you step closer to the divine peace that is your birthright. Step into the space of peace, and watch how the world around you begins to shift.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste y’all.
Today, I promise to keep the optimism flowing within myself and spread peace from my heart into the world. I know I am not the only dreamer on the planet and I believe we will see peace throughout the world again.
