Peace Vigil 2012: Whatever is True and Real will be Unified

Keep the Faith, drop the fear. Seek the truth. Be yourself. Believe, peace is possible.

Searching the truth requires patience and discipline to maintain an open mind to analyze facts as they present it and/or as you discover it. Being sensitive not to give in to impulsive judgement.

People have the the habit of assessing people, situation, etc based on how they feel. The first impression to a person can be influential to one's decision and judgement to a person. This is injustice practice if we allow this kind of practice. No one knows the truth until further investigation and research. Every person should be regarded as innocent; and that goes the same with any situation. If we treat everyone innocent until proven guilty, we are practing simple justice.

To search for the truth is to know what kind of truth are we looking for. Truth can be relative, meaning it depends on the kind of truth that we are searching. There are a lot of facts leading to the truth. With all numerous fact, what is it that we really want to know, as of the moment. If we simplify what we kind of truth we want to know, we can focus our mind to solve the questions that bothers us.

As we search the truth that we are looking for, we ask the question, What really happened that lead to this scenario, conclusion, situation, problem / solution, etc. To know what happened in plain ans simple data without reservation or emotional attachment to the facts presented. Forget the emotion and follow the reason will help you to search for the truth. Be professional in dealing with the whole searching to guard oneself not to fall into judgement based on emotion. To have the conviction that the truth can set you free. Free from malicious thoughts, free from intriguing conclusions, free from imprisonment, free from fear, free from attachments, free from guilt, free from sufferings, free from silence, free to hope, free to have faith and free to love.

Once we know what really happened and we grasp the truth in our hand, the whole situation becomes Real. We can hold it as we see it in our eyes all the facts presented, all researches made, all arein place and we now have the right to make our conclusion. The judgement that we make will then give way to our reaction, passion will then follow lead by our emotion. The motion of our heart and mind based on the truth that we hold will fuel our passion to move and take the course of action.

So to sum up, if in an organization, unity seems impossible, check on the truth of relationships in the group. Is it real? If it is, then there's no question why it is unified? If it is not, how do you think peace work should find its way?
