If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.
-Thick Nhat Hanh
I remember my teacher Miguel describing our planet as the one planet that creates emotion for our solar system. The powerful teachings I learned from him focus on cultivating a cleaner mind, dissipating emotional drama and trauma, and opening our heart to express the fullness of our love. These teachings are directed toward uplifting the emotional energy within us and creating more peace in our world.
Now, more than ever, our world is divided and suffering. Yet, we have an ability to tackle and dissipate heavy emotional energy and deepen into our inner peace.
In his book Power vs Force, David Hawkins, Ph.D., demonstrates how specific vibrations of consciousness arise from our human behavior and perceptions we have about life. His book is a great read and I’ll share some cliff notes with you here.
On a scale of 1-1000, Hawkins has scientifically determined that our energy field vibrates to:
Peace at 700.
Joy 540
Love 500
Acceptance 350
Willingness 310
Courage 200
When you cultivate these vibrations you have shifted from self-destructive and harmful behaviors to life-giving thoughts and actions. This is where you contribute to creating peace in our world.
There are another set of vibrations that resonate through all of us from time to time. Note that these states create suffering. They are all below the 200 level of Courage.
Pride 175
Anger 150
Desire 125
Fear 100
Grief 75
Apathy 50
Guilt 30
Shame 20 ~ This vibration is one step above death.
Hawkins calculates that 78% of the world population resonates below 200-the critical level of integrity. Take a breath and think about that! 78% live in survival mode expressing fear and suffering much of the time.
If emotions are contagious-and they are, and we are all in this big collective soup together-which we are, as a collective the majority has a destructive capacity to drag down all of mankind.
Depressing? It doesn’t have to be! And, you don’t have to think about that for even a second more, as focusing on the negative DOES NOT create inner peace. Taking action to Raise Your State to peace is the focus that works.
