S04E12 About Peace
This week is all About Peace, in honour of Remembrance Day. Our government, political and financial structures were built on war, violence, inequality, oppression to control society, and enrich the few in power. War is big business, the government increases its annual spend on defence year on year. And even peace is commodified, the very companies that supplied the weapons of mass destruction now fighting to win contracts for reconstruction of what they destroyed. War becomes a toxic loop of power, money, destruction and construction. Even the wellness industry tries to gate keep peace, and sell it back to us. Peace, true peace, is here with us now. It is found in the courage to hold truth, to know injustice and to honestly see the world as it is. Peace is found in rest, and it is found in surrender. War is control through external force, and peace is self control built internally. Peace is found in presence, now, it is not waiting for us . We do not need permission from anyone to have peace, we just need to let ourselves remember. As we remember those who have fallen, and the cost of peace, may we remember the peace we owe to ourselves. See you next week M x
