World leaders disagree on so many fronts. Turmoil rages on in Iraq. Civil war is ravaging regions like Darfur. Now more than ever we need peace.

Taking action to create world peace is essential, but lasting peace must start from the inside out, in the heart of every individual. Only when inner-peace becomes a reality for each one of us, can there be lasting peace on the outside.

Prem Rawat, internationally recognised as an authority on the topic of inner-peace, recently said "People say in this world there needs to be peace .... I say in YOUR WORLD there needs to be peace."

He says that true peace is not just the absence of violence. Rather, peace is a feeling present in each one of us, and he can help people discover it for themselves.

Sign below and commit to do one thing today to discover peace within your own life.
Just a few suggestions are:

  • Consider the things that are truly important to you in your life.
  • Consciously acknowledge your own thirst for inner fulfilment.
  • Appreciate the gift of life a little more.
  • Contemplate the calmness of your own breath.

Or if you have a specific idea on how to bring happiness to your life right now, share your plan by adding a comment to your signature!

The UNESCO constitution states, "Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed." Make a personal commitment to find peace now - starting from the inside.

I would add: 'to just be' to my 'to do' list, but that would just make my 'to do' list longer. Instead I will take time out of my 'to do' list to just 'be'. By that I mean to practice what Prem Rawat has shown me.

Namaste......today I am breathing from the inside out and finding the rhythm of my breath, deep inside me. As I find it, I bring it into every cell of my physical body....slowly....and then into every movement of my emotional body...slowly...and then into every thought I have. Then I expand thie peace out to all those I meet today. And if I forget, I come back to myself and reconnect...and start again. May you also do the same for your precious self and for the world.

I try to create peace every day. Mostly by trying to understand that not everybody is the same, and that that is a GOOD thing. If we could only accept eachothers differences, compromise, and let eachother be who they are, with respect and dignity, than we could work together, help eachother, learn from eachother, and achief so much more. Than there may still be disagreements, but we would not feel the need to destroy eachother in whatever way. We call ourselves superior, and civilized, lets start being that. If the goverments of this world would listen to their people, they would know that ALL OVER THE WORLD people want PEACE. A good leader listens to his/her people, and is able to compromise and work things out peacefully. Good leaders don't need war to solve their issues, they sit around a table and talk it out. Violence has not brought us any good anywhere yet, has it? I hope many will sign this petition and that somebody with power, and with an open mind, will listen to this, and do something about it. Peace and love to you all! Jacky

Vrede creëren in de wereld kan alleen door vrede te creëren in je eigen hart. Creating peace in the world is only possible by creating peace in your own heart.

I will not hurry anywhere, I will plan what I am doing ahead; If there will be changes to my plans, I will take them lightheartedly. I will listen to relaxation CD. I will meet with the people that are my friends. I will be open-minded meeting with the stranges. I will address my thoughts to God, believing He will show me the best way to live my life and I will try to see the signs He gives me to understand His approval. I will always remember that my life is good, and appreciate what I've got. I will be thankfull for my family and friends, and for my home and health. I will smile a lot.

Light and blesisngs. Take some time to create space between your thought and your deeds. Take time to examine those hateful thought - we all have them - and turn them round to loving ones.

Inner peace is so much about inner knowledge, knowing yourself and your own qualities-good and bad, so that you can grow the good and embrace and care for the bad. I will seek to know more about me so that I can know and care more about others.

practice sending positive energy/thoughts/feelings to somebody you dislike/fear/mistrust. Mr Bush would be a good example.. with the karmas he is building up he's gonna need all the help he can get....

I agree with Jane Spinks and if you are reading this Angelina, I was robbed at knifepoint in Amsterdam a few years ago but that doesn't mean that all Dutch people are knife wielding thieves... well not as I see it. Peace does begin from within. What ever you focus on, you get. So if everyone focused on Love and Peace to all, the ego would gradually diminish and the world would become more harmonious. A dream? Perhaps. But if we don't have this dream, it will not happen! One world, one love - PEACE!
