Prem Rawat, recognized worldwide on topic of personal peace
Prem Rawat responds to questions about peace.
Why is it that people create war?
War begins with denial. One group decides that their cause is greater and that the other group's cause does not exist. Causes become greater, and human beings are reduced to nothing.
People fight because they give more legitimacy to their causes than to human life. In their rationalizations, they have diminished the value of human life. The first time someone came up with the idea that a cause was greater than human life, the balance was upset, and it has continued to get worse. Human beings will fight when they do not understand what life is all about, because in wars we squander life. War does not exist only on the battlefield. At home, without a war, we squander life.
We live in a world at war. Is it realistic to hope for world peace?
When I was a child, I used to be enamored with the idea of “world peace,” and it was a great thought to have. Then, as I started traveling throughout the world and meeting people, I realized there was no such thing. In all these years, I have never come across anything tangible that I could call the world. It is not the world that needs to be fixed; it is people. When people are at peace within, there will be world peace. Right now, people are fascinated by war.

Hello Candice.
It is indeed realistic to hope for world peace. If we the human family on planet earth are to survive into the future, we must update our perception of reality! This is something we can accomplish today because for the first time in our history on earth, we have the tools (the data files) needed to get the job done but we don't have one minute to loose.
"The barbaric act of war,
A terrible act indeed,
We take the lives of those,
Who have the same nature as we,
A barbaric act indeed!"
The details are available here: http://www.apocalypsenot.net
Please help us spread the word.
In the spirit of world peace,
Charlie Kirkpatrick
