Why "piece" 2.0 not "peace" 2.0?

Well, primarily three reasons.


Words Matter
Words Don't Matter without Actions
For, not Against


Words matter - When you see the peace signs and peace symbols or hear someone say, "peace" - there certainly is a warm and fuzzy moment there and typically an acknowledgement of yeah, amen to that. That "moment" soon passes as we all get caught up in the comings and goings of our busy lives. Unfortunately, the word peace or gesture of the peace sign has not sparked a change in human behavior. The word "peace" and the peace symbols have become goals to work towards, they have become something that we seek in the future but have not found a way to act on today.

So, for all the t-shirts, pictures, marches, protests, books, spoken words, speeches, blogs, symbols, movies, Facebook groups and everything else that has been produced with regard to the "achievement of peace" - we still ain't there - as individuals or as a society~! I know, it's a bummer isn't it?

Albert Einstein once said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results". That said, we felt the need to shake things up a bit. "piece" 2.0 is about having peace right now and so we have started with a different, and what we feel, more relevant and actionable word - "piece". This one word very clearly represents the view of the world that is required - i.e. we are each an equal "piece" of something much larger than ourselves and should act that way - to achieve peace. At the same time, it gives us a glimpse as to what the result of that view and the actions of aligning with our goodness, not our egos, will be. That word is simply, "piece". Words do matter, so in order to change our mental model of peace, we thought the natural evolution would be to change the word itself to "piece". So, the word has now evolved and humans need to decide to evolve with it. "piece" - i.e. we are each an equal "piece" of something much larger than ourselves and should act that way - is actionable and useful in everyday interactions - "peace" is not. "piece" provides a roadmap to peace. For example, when you meet someone, view them first as an equal "piece" of the creator and then as a human - then, stop there. Don't go into - Jewish, African American, woman, mother of two, corporate executive, who is married to x and lives in NY. Those labels are divisive and irrelevant to the question of "what are this equal piece of the creator and I going to create in this moment? Goodness, or not so goodness?" "piece" 2.0 is about deciding to create goodness in those moments.

Words Don't Matter without Actions - The old aphorism, "I hear, I forget; I see, I remember; I do, I understand" certainly applies to what we are up to with "piece" 2.0. We do not feel humans will ever "achieve peace" by just talking about it. Individuals must learn to live in it and from that humans will begin to truly "know" peace. "Knowing" comes from doing - a good example is riding a bike, you don't truly "know" what it takes to ride a bike until you actually ride a bike, we need to live "piece" to know peace.

So, "piece" 2.0 is about individual action and through that individual action, individual "knowing". I realize this is new to most and that is why I wrote a free ebook "the "piece" 2.0 lifestyle in 12 pages..." that you can download from our website: http://www.createlove.org. But please know, as the 12 pages indicates, the "piece" 2.0 lifestyle does not require intense study, deep thought or any heavy lifting - "piece" 2.0 is simply about you and your moments. As you choose to align your moments with your goodness, not your ego, you will "know", right in those moments, individual peace. "piece" 2.0 is a choice to live a lifestyle made up of moments of goodness stringed together. The strings of good moments will result in you knowing individual peace of mind, body and spirit. That knowing can be leveraged to teach others how to choose goodness in their moments and also live in peace and so on and so on. So, as discussed, "piece" 2.0 is a lifestyle, not a destination. The good news is you can start living in "piece" right now. Have a good moment!

For, Not Against - The third major difference between the peace movement of the past and "piece" 2.0 movement/lifestyle is that the original peace movement was born out of war - i.e. we are against the war, protest the war, attend the anti-war rally, make love not war, nuke the nukes, etc.

The "piece" 2.0 lifestyle/movement is founded in goodness - i.e. we are not against anything and we are not asking anyone for anything. We are simply FOR enabling humans to adopt a lifestyle based on "piece". We are FOR humans using their talents to the best of their ability while serving each other.

So, the nut of it is, it is time for "peace" to evolve into an actionable word that can be leveraged in everyday interactions/living and that also enables humans to "know" peace by making it easier to adopt and live a lifestyle of "piece".

So there you have it - "piece" 2.0.
