How can you attain mental peace in this disturbing world?

Answer 1

I've been asking myself the same question. So far the only one who helps me is Jim Beam.

Answer 2

By not focusing--a lot--on the disturbances.
Do something if you can; even Habitat for Humanity, or a Charity that REALLY gets supplies to the world's hungry, even our own.
Volunteer, if you can take it; you will see those that hurt.
Help those who come across your path.
Prayer has helped me; and I don't watch the news when it is disturbing me TOO much. Altho' I keep up w/what is going on via news links on Yahoo.
Peace Within. Def.
Belief in yourself. That gives one confidence and strength; that helps deal w/the world.
Signing petitions helps me as well. Just suggestions.
Being pro-active if you can be; otherwise go for the peace w/in and find something that works consistently.

Answer 3

Well I know how I attain peace in this disturbing world. I rely on God's Kingdom to bring me peace at a time when all those that oppose God will be gone. This time was believed in by King David, in the 37th Psalms and the 29th verse, shows that he believed in a paradised earth. If we go to Genesis when Adam and Eve sinned, they were questioning God's right to rule them. and they chose to do what God had told them not to do, like many people today. They choose to do what God tells them not to do. So this issue has to be settled and we are living in the "last days" of this issue being settled right now. This is why our world has become so disturbing, man is ruling themselves to their own ruin! When God decides everyone has
had a chance to know him with accurate knowledge, then he will put an end to this "disgusting world" that we live in today; just like he did in "the days of Noah!" and with Sodom and Gomorrah, he took care of two ancient worlds that chose to ignore His laws and principles to live the way they wanted, without him, and without accurate knowledge.

Answer 5

By loving, accepting yourself and your limits. Create a happy environment in which to live. Love and care for your friends,family and your extended family.

Volunteer at a hospital, hospice, soup kitchen...... if you can.

Have hobbies, stay active, exercise daily, surround yourself with good ppl who share your interests and happiness.

Bad things will occur and when it does having good self esteem, a caring group of friends and family can make the worst of times a lot easier to endure.

Answer 6

A man goes to a shop, picks up a beautiful cup and says "my god this cup is so beautiful" and suddenly the cup starts talking to the man. The cup starts saying "O man, I am beautiful right now, but what was the state of my being before the pot-maker made me a beautiful pot?

Before I was sheer mud and the pot-maker pulled me out of the mud from the mother earth and I felt why that pot-maker is so cruel, he has separated me from mother earth. I felt a tremendous pain. And the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me and churned me, when I was churned I felt so giddy, so painful, so stressful, I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then he put me into a oven and heated me up, I felt completely burnt. There was tremendous pain and I asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait."

Then he poured hot paint on me and I felt the fume and the pain, I again asked the pot-maker "Why are you so cruel?" and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." Then again he put me into an oven and heated it to make me more strong, I felt life is so painful hence pleaded the pot-maker and the pot-maker said, "Just wait." And after that the pot-maker took me to the mirror and said, "Now look at yourself". And surprisingly I found myself so beautiful.

When god gives us lot of trouble, it appears god is very cruel but we need patience and we have to wait. When bad things happen to good people, they become better and not bitter.

So all difficulties are part of a cosmic design to make us really beautiful. We need patience, we need understanding, we need the commitment to go through in a very calm and wise way. So all difficulties are not to tumble us but to humble us.

With this understanding, let us not be against difficulty. Understand difficulty is a part of a purifying process. A purifying process at present which we cannot understand and hence we need faith and we need trust.

Let us understand how to handle stress with this background. You can be affected by stress from two angles. There is an internal stress and there is an external stress. Nobody can avoid stress; one has to only manage stress. Managing stress can be internal and also external.

The internal stress is; your thoughts can create stress, your values can create stress, and your beliefs can create stress, meaning thereby your stress is coming from your mind more from the outer world. Many people suffer not from heart attack - they suffer from thought-attack.

For example, when somebody says you are an idiot, we get so hurt, we get so victimised. My boss has called me an idiot and I am feeling tremendous pain. Now where does this stress come from? If my boss has called me an idiot, I have to ask myself "am I an idiot"?

If I am an idiot nothing to be upset about; and if I am not an idiot, then also nothing to be upset about! It is the perception of the boss. But why do we suffer from that stress? I suffer not because my boss has called me an idiot but because of the thought-attack.

I may say the boss has called me an idiot; therefore I am suffering? It is true that the words are unpleasant. But what hurts is the interpretation of the unpleasant word. The thought in me interprets. That is pain and therefore it becomes pain. Much of our stress is our mind interpreting it as pain. So we suffer from thought-attack more than heart attack.
