🌟 Respect in Inner & Outer Relationships Foster Peace & Serenity 🌟

A recent groundbreaking global research study conducted by prestigious institutions like the Gallup Organization, Harvard University, Kyoto University, and NY University reveals:

In a world overflowing with competing perspectives, achieving “Balance, Peace & Calmness” stands as the ultimate aspiration — a shared goal transcending borders and cultures.*

To achieve this goal, simplistic ideals like “love thy neighbor” have proven challenging to implement in practice, often resulting in limited tangible impact on a broader scale. More realistic is the notion that true peace and harmony does not stem from conformity but from embracing differences with respect.

Furthermore, “Peace begins with me!” (a slogan from the 1960s Counterculture Movement) remains relevant today. Hence, I can most effectively attain PEACE by extending RESPECT to both ‘others’ and — crucially — ‘myself’❗️

Let’s also explore the connection between these principles and Self-realization:
It is not particularly astonishing that the extent of ‘existential tension’ — lack of ‘inner peace’ — is intricately linked to the myriad instances, both subtle and significant, where we mistakenly identify with something other than our true Self.
Once this realization becomes evident, we can readily employ practical solutions to navigate the common cognitive dissonances that often impede or even paralyze the pursuit of peace, both within ourselves and in our interactions with people in the world.

During this meeting, we will introduce techniques to comprehend and embody respect in both ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ relationships. These methods are carefully designed to cultivate peace and harmony, transforming our lives and the world around us.

Let's walk this path of respect together!
We look forward to seeing you there!
