“Ultimate peace begins within; when we find peace within there will be no more conflict, no more occasion for war. If this is the peace you seek, purify your body by sensible living habits, purify your mind by expelling all negative thoughts, purify your motives by casting out any ideas of greed or self-striving and by seeking to serve you fellow human beings, purify your desires by eliminating all wishes for material possessions or self-glorification and by desiring to know and do God's will for you. Inspire others to do likewise.” IfsKnowsMindHumansIdeasWarSelfBodyDesireWishHuman BeingsInspireMaterialsHabitConflictNegativeUltimateFellowsStriveGreedSeekingPossessionYour BodyGods WillOccasionsMotiveSensibleCastingFinding PeaceNegative ThoughtsEliminatingInspire OthersMaterial PossessionsPeace WithinGlorificationSelf Glorification Author:Peace Pilgrim

The more active the State is, the greater is the number of these.” MenStatesPoliticalDesireInterestNumbersGreaterSpringHarmonyUnityActiveVarietyOccasionsArrangementsCollisionTransgressionManifold Author:Wilhelm von Humboldt
