Where do you find internal peace?

Question

I want to make peace with myself but have a hard time finding that people are not peaceful with me therefore I have to try harder to find peace with myself. So many earthly problems trying not to get lost in the mess of believing in something except for Peace get's harder every day. Waiting for the world to find peace with itself so I can. Ghandi tried to starve himself to end war it only worked for a little while. Why are humans so prone to kill eachother. Can't we work together on something of course not religious doctrine of this faith and that says we will be judged how can we find progress and achieve exploration of the stars. I know the human race can not live forever but can't we work on it anyway. It could be fun. I believe in a spirit. The flesh is hell. My spirit is timeless according to my belief why can't we work together just once why does A God have to judge you and me why?

Answer 1

I think true peace isnt possible until all humans, as a collective, find Peace.

Maybe internal peace isnt what you need to be seeking right now. Unless you are gifted in the parlour trick of faking 'enlightenment' by being detached from your emotions (in a cozy state of 'inner peace' and 'acceptance for what IS'), TRUE non-illusory internal peace (which requires external peace for ALL) is not possible imho.

I think your discomfort and longing to feel inner peace is a CALLING that you may be denying hearing? Maybe you need to forget about yourself - I mean forget about 'making a 'life' for yourself'? As if any life you create, no matter how much 'success' is gleaned, will actually really be acceptable to you when you look around and see the suffering that continues and even worsens - even as your life and inner state get 'better.' In my humble opinion, you are trying to find 'inward peace' (and what, HAPPINESS?) when I believe that you will never REALLY find it - not until everyone else does too. WHen you are awake to your own suffering you're awake to everyone elses as well. We are not alive to live in isolated happiness -- individual peace cannot happen until the collective peace happens. Only THEN will your longing be satisfied. Until then you suffer because you *are* Humanity.

So please answer to your Call to do whatever you are called to do to bring peace to your collective self. It's only by giving selflessly (without ego) to 'Other' that you can find what you are seeking.

Answer 2

"We could all use a
little more calmness in our lives. By following the simple advice I heard on
the Dr. Phil show, I have finally found inner peace.

"Dr. Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the
things you've started and never finished". So, I looked around my house to
see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the
house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of White
Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a bottle of Kahlua, a package
of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the
cheesecake, some Doritos and a box of chocolates. You have no idea how
freaking good I feel."

Answer 3

The answer is in the question itself. Internal peace can be found only internally! I appreciate your intention.

If you can find peace within, then only you can radiate peace outside.
Everyone wants others to have peace. Is everyone peaceful within himself? It is only because of lack of internal peace of people that you see lack of peace in the world. So stop waiting for people to get peaceful. You get your internal peace first. And its not difficult to get it as it is already there. Only thing is that different stresses and conditionings are accumulated in our mind-body system so we can't find peace. The purpose then is not to 'acquire' peace but to get rid of stresses and negative emotions veiling it.

How can you do that?
I'd recommend the "Art of Living" breathing workshop. The mind and breath work through one another. Mind cannot be controlled directly, but breath can. The breathing workshop helps a lot in removing stress from the body and mind so you can find the internal peace. And the benefits of removing the stress and toxins are many!

Answer 4

I find Peace in nature.

The more we get caught up in what seems to be the downward spiral of earth's problems we lose track of what's really important - our beliefs. What we want for ourselves, each other and the world. That's what is real.

It is said we can only control our self not others. The more we live for what we believe in, the more it becomes.

You are on the path. Be it.

Peace

i'm possibly skewed in my perspectives, so admittedly i gained't be the perfect suggestion you'll receive right here. I stay through the practice of staying power, calm, empathy, non-malice, charity and mutual appreciate. As you may't halt the wind, understand what you may and can't stop or replace. and prefer a tree contained in the wind, understand even as to bend with it or danger snapping. therefore, those snaps will be equivalent to moments the position you 'snap at human beings' really to be apologetic about it later. be affected individual. Indulge others as you would anticipate them to indulge you. Meditate. hit upon a gap and loosen up. concentration your center on a unmarried sound. Isolate that sound. Eyes closed, bump into it. imagine it. journey your respiration; slowly, rhythmically, softly. experience the softness of the breeze. Even nonetheless air has sensation. experience its delicacy and gentleness. experience it and follow it. follow its course alongside your body. and hear it too. Merge this sound with what you first all started. take heed to their unity. And bypass. Like this, enable for different possible a lot less tranquil cases to take this same course. Even among chaos can order be got here across. Even among the noise can melody be heard. Even among the the blotchy can delineation be got here across. yet all with staying power, if practiced, if wanted. : ) Ah, i have little doubt muddied the waters of transparency and documents. My intentions are sparkling, although, and intensely truthful. the perfect to you...

You need to ask yourself what is it you can actually do. Can you change foreign policy? No. Can you rewrite long standing cultural differences in countries you will never visit? No. Can you help someone who might just need a smile in the morning? Yes. Can you let go of grudges? Yes. Can you pray for peace? Yes. Do what it is you can do and let go of those things you can't control.
