Progress toward peace
Adapted from an article published in The Christian Science Monitor, September 21, 2017.
For nations to move forward and find peace and stability after war, an awakening to the need to unify rather than divide is important. Often that comes through a realism born of necessity, but lasting peace is spawned by a realism based on something more than human willpower and desire, no matter how well intentioned our efforts.
In my own experience I’ve found that real and reliable progress toward resolution comes with a growing understanding of the reality that God, the universal divine Mind, is the source of true intelligence. This kind of spiritual realism, acknowledging God as infinite and all-knowing good, has inspired me to listen for divine wisdom. This approach fosters unity.
