SOCIAL AND SPIRITUAL PEACE

Social and spiritual peace are two sides of one coin. Both are dependent
upon each other and both manifest each other.

Social peace is, in a nutshell, the social law. It is the law of each society
that delineates acceptable and unacceptable behavior in society as well as
punishment for unacceptable behavior or behavior outside the law. Without
law, chaos would reign in society. And if chaos reigns in society, we
will each become so concerned with survival that we will have little time to
reflect on our spiritual nature.

At the same time, spiritual peace drives social peace. The core of spiritual
peace resides in the recognition that we are one with each other and one
with God and what we do to anyone reverberates throughout all of
humanity. When we consider all human beings our brothers, sisters, fathers,
mothers and children, we write laws that are equitable and just. These
equitable and just laws create peace in society and allow the pursuit of
spiritual reflection.

We will never have social peace without spiritual peace and we will have
a difficult time achieving spiritual peace without social peace.

The common denominator of spiritual peace is that we are one with each
other, equal in our infinite immortality though temporarily residing in
different bodies and living as a member of different social strata.
This oneness is the driving energy behind all social law which is "to treat
others the way we desire to be treated."

We all serve two masters; that of the body and that of the spirit. The
majority of us believe that we have incarnate within our physical temporary
bodies an immortal infinite spiritual energy. We live simultaneously in both
realities. I recognize the oneness of all human beings within the Infinite
God, but I advocate incarceration or some type of restraint for those who
deliberately, intentionally and maliciously prey upon others.

To truly manifest WorldPeace from this point in time we must proceed
both to become more tolerant of each other by recognizing our spiritual
oneness and we must at the same time continuously edit our laws in order
to promote peace, justice, equality and the pursuit of happiness for every
human being.
