    I take "good" and "bad" in stride as well, "it's a part of life," but will honestly say that phrase is said with a heavy sigh a lot of times. What is peace if you do not feel 'good.'?

    Once you 'accept life's changes and peaks,' what changes? Do you feel different? Like you said it's not an elimination of 'bad' by all means, so do you just deal with stress better?

    Perhaps internally I am still searching to eliminate bad but.... once again i'm going to go ahead and say this is an internal struggle that will remain mostly unchanged for a very long time. So by definition, 'peace,' does not exist -- only coping with life.

    Hmmmm. Yeah, I'm trying to listen and read to what you're saying, and would honestly like to be proven wrong but... ya lol, ya know.

    Or the causes of self.

    Learn to ask the question, what is it for? The answer will tell you what you are truly seeking. The first obstacle that peace must pass is the desire to be rid of it.

    We find what we look for.

    The dissolution of the body is guaranteed. Physical pain is not the same thing as anxiety. Anxiety is caused by the misapprehension of what is so. A mind free from anxiety is wholly kind.
    This speaks to the fact that you are not convinced that it is peace that you want.

    yes but when a problem that demands attention to the self hinders the silence, intelligence is needed to deal with the problem. this is just fundamentally speaking: for example any kind of animal would be 100% peaceful if it wasn't for the problem of scarce resources all of the animals must share or work out somehow, by force or w/e. intelligence comes in with what the animal can do to protect it's own resources it needs, or use the intelligence to make a plan that deals with the resources in a more peaceful way that it wouldn't have to fight. the majority of the peace thing is honesty and willingness like you say, but there is still the external problem that hinders us.

    and yeah that's what i mean by consciousness but also consciousness with decisions and actions that the person is doing.

    and @Kokujin, you're pretty much talking about peace. coping in life is making peace with yourself. pretty much

    there's such thing as mental intelligence and there's also such thing as body/intuitive intelligence.

    "Problems that demand attention to the self" are created by the self.
    Everyone on the planet, stupid or smart, is the master of their own self, and they are equipped to deal with their own problems. It isn't "intelligence" that is needed, it's attention, as you just said.

    PB_Smith. My apologies man. I was thinking about what I was going to talk about, then the novel and LSD came about, and I just too many brain clutters. So I decided to keep it short, sweet and simple. Yeah since the novel, I've been researching more and more about him, and yes I have heard about the Merry Pranksters. Once again man, my apologies. I'll definitely want to post about my psychedelic experience in the near future and how that tied into peace.

    Oh, and by the way, I am not British. :p I am from Pennsylvania.

    Oh, and thanks for the replies everybody.

    Floes.

    Your absolutely right. Forget to quote Ghandi? But anyway, I am not getting anywhere by posting threads and just "talking" about it. Action has got to be done, and as soon as I find a reasonable attempt, I will not hold back. Look for me on CNN my friend.

    True intelligence is the ability of knowing, and not ability of expressing knowledge.

    When fixing a car, you can cram as much knowledge about vehicles into your brain about fixing the car, you can read all the books and listen to all the teachers, but unless you actually get under that hood, and it becomes a part of your knowing, part of your experience, only then will you become intelligent about it. Only then do you actually know anything.

    See knowledge is from the outside, its placed into you. Knowing is your experience, it is your own understanding of something. Knowledge is remembered from the past, knowing is in the present. You cannot forget, it is in your being.

    In knowing we become aware, we become the knowing, we become responsive.
