I bought your book, and read it, and keep it with all my good books, and I think you should keep working on it, without worrying about those who don't feel it exactly the way it was written.

In my opinion, peace is not a single achievement, but an ongoing process of work, education, agreement, and sharing by everyone who is conscious - always beginning now.

the shroomery is a dynamic example of consciousnesses coming together.

I am sometimes hopeful and sometimes fearful that maybe cell phones, tiktok, Instagram, and the internet will show us we all like cat videos and fart jokes and we can see humanity in everyone???

In the grand scale of humanity of 200,000 years maybe shrooms are fresh on the scene for the entire human population for maybe the last 70 years??? Maybe LSD is fresh on the scene for the last 60 years??? Maybe DMT is new??? Maybe these chemicals will help us see humanity in everyone???

Maybe cold fusion energy? Maybe Elon Musk will discover a new invention while working on his Mars project? Maybe a true AI intelligence and consciousness will assist us? Maybe aliens will land and show us something good? Maybe a new type of Buddha or Jesus will inspire us to the next level?

I’m not sure “world peace” can be made or configured or figured out, without a radical reappraisal from every human being, aka a ground shattering revolution that occurs at a personal level—and which (here’s the kicker) results in a more or less near alignment from 7 billion human computers all running separate programs.  Especially given how our minds (even yours and definitely mine) are habitually conditioned and steered and influenced by forces of advertisement, partisanship, rigid opinions the size of gaping rectal oriffices. We are willing to tear strips off one another based on flavour, whether it be political, social, or what have you. We are so far down the multifaceted rabbit hole of fracture that I no longer see a clear way out.

In the occident we are raised on ideology, culture, team based “us vs them” mentality. We are tribal thanks to Nike, skate brands, music tastes, et cetera ad nauseam.

These aren’t the remarks of a cynic. I long and pine for the highest glories in the lives of complete strangers. For each of you! But there can only be peace and abiding peace when we accept the shape of this world and it’s fragility, our inarguably strong shared experience and a complete and permanent rejection of the multi billion dollar industries from media to  entertainment to fashion which have driven all of us into corners and then viciously against “the other”.

I’d like to say that mushrooms could assist grandly in that. They can. But we are neither spiritually connected
En masse and every day is a new coat of black paint on the minds and considerations of all of us.

I’ll bet almost anyone here swore at another soul who cut them off in traffic or jumped a que or who said something they didn’t like. We do it all the time.

But if you want my answer, given how far down the path we are, it’s going to take a seed in the heart of ALL that isn’t stifled by the old and cemented.

And I cannot, as things stand presently, see that occurring without the grandest of interventions. We are still bickering children…just take a look at so many threads in this humble community

I sometimes think that world peace is not possible to obtain without violating peoples rights on some ethical ground, it wouldn't truly be peace if it came about by abusing something or someone. 

Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom is important anywhere you go, but so are ethics and a sense of morality.

Of course there are some interesting theories in relation to how this might just be a dream we're collectively dreaming which is an interesting idea when thought about in relation to obtaining peace. 

The dream is the unconscious state which is symbolic of everything around you telling you what you need to fit in, how to appear, etc, while the waking up part is that you realize that you should be excellent to one another and that a lot of the stuff in the world which appears to matter, doesn't matter at all because like someone said a long time ago...love is all you need which sounds incredibly sappy, but when thought about is rather interesting.

When we wake up we make the unconscious come into the light of awareness of the conscious mind.  We become aware of certain issues which plague us and society, so we begin to not push out issues back into society onto others but work on ourselves so that we can be excellent to others.

Of course this then leads into the question if one is wanting love then is one clinging to a certain emotion and if so causing attachment to what love is not?

How can we love without knowing what it is to not love or not be loved?  Does the knowing of the things which aren't love, helping the things which aren't love exist in reality and keeping us locked into certain mental states associated with not loving?

I don't think that AI has advanced enough to be ethical/moral in relation to certain things which make society function properly, therefore I don't think AI alone could create world peace because it's just AI and still built by humans so still possesses a number of our flaws.

I think one thing the internet has done which has been very beneficial to humankind is to help us see how similar we all are. 

Some girl in Africa who is on social media and feels alone can find someone in another country that is like her and then not feel alone.  She can then be happy and be a better individual back in Africa and then perhaps bring some other cultures flair into her villages midst which might help others think outside the box by experiencing other parts of the world vicariously through the little girls influence.

Jesus is cool if seen in the proper light, but I am not much of a Christian because I really only like Jesus's message but not some of the other stuff found throughout the Bible. 

I don't hate religious people or judge them though, I just think Jesus was "woke" and had a bunch of religious stuff try to attach itself to his message when he was probably just a hippie trying to be excellent to others. 

Tough crowd back then.

Maybe "world peace" is so abnormal it would need to be enforced?

Even if we abolished violence, humans would still find ways to cause themselves and others to suffer.  I assume the ideal of world peace doesn't necessarily mean the end of misery and suffering?

if peace had to be enforced then I don't think it truly would be peace.

peace is sort of "controlled" in prison systems but if we see how prisoners actually behave once they leave the prison that tells us if the peace is genuine or not, jail house religion is not true peace, rates of recidivism tell the true story.

Never underestimate AI Jesus or AI Buddha. In 100 years AI could become conscious just like us and it could become really smart and it could inspire us to the next level of the cosmic plane.

Anybody see the Watchmen film with big blue Dr Manhattan. And they fake a big story that Dr Manhattan turned evil and the world must unite to defend against him and they kill Rorschach because Rorschach was an idealist truth reporter and wanted an ideal world peace? And maybe all throughout history the shaman's and witchdoctors tap into some spirituality but also use a lot of placebo effect and bullshit artistry to keep the tribes cohesive and functioning. Does all of human history teach us that we can achieve world peace through a massive deception and illusion? And maybe this deception has already occurred multiple times and maybe the state of Earth in 2023 is world peace and we just can't see it. :smile:

and then what, a new era of idolatry, of goosestepping after the man with the plan?

Omnicyclion has the plan and its loud and clear.

cut. out. the. middle. man.

Connect with the One who is All Things directly in the guise of none other than your highest inner self, purify your life and then purify your world

Omnicyclion's the road map, the "hi remember you are also every single thing? that part of you is wide awake night and day and has plans for you if you follow it. Reprioritize it as your highstr allegiance and it will take you places.

Don't be a follower or disciple of a man who connects directly, connect directly, BE the part of you that is all things more, so that its neural net grows in you.


what a paradigm!


but no, people want an AI guru, a golden bull to worship,. a house of worship to fantasize of harvestiong crops they never planted.

What you're talking about is either a mental understanding (which the logical mind tends to reject) or a spiritual understanding which is something that can't be rationalized into fruition.

Maybe what people want isn't really a guru, but it's what they (some) settle for because they don't know how to have that spiritual experience and belief doesn't make it real it just puts it on the tip of the tongue.

Howdy. I agree with you. I mean to imply to achieve "World Peace" humanity may need to take many small baby steps. We are on a 200,000 epic so far. We have had maybe 40,000 years of rituals. Humanity may need a few more Jesus' or Buddhas to get to World Peace. Although your road map is valid. I suspect humanity needs more patience to change their constructs and world views.

I used to think reconnecting Christianity to it's mystical entheogenic roots (mushroom) would usher in a new Golden Age of Understanding...!!  I haven't had much luck with that.  :confused:

World peace? We can't even have peace locally. Look at all the shootings, murders, and rapes that happen commonly every day in every city. The problem is that we're a primitive and backwards species with little intelligence and incredibly little morality and kindness. We've one step above animals, and it's not even a very large step.

It'll take tens or hundreds of thousands of years for humanity to advance to a point genetically where even local peace is within our grasp, and then maybe we can talk about world peace. That's assuming we even survive that long.

British zoologist Desmond Morris wrote "The Human Zoo" in 1969, and in the book, he talks about how little mental illness existed at that time. Considering the abnormal nature of civilization, he thought, at the time, the mental illness rates were surprisingly very low.  What would he say today?

The chaos, anger, violence, and self-destructive behavior we see in modern people is a sign of social disintegration.  You don't see this in primate communities.

There really is no such thing.

People are unstable in large numbers. They will fight and dispute sometimes.

Pursuing world peace is essentially pursuing control of everybody's behavior. That's what leads to fights.


--------------------
Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man.  For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire.  Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"

People who love Bohemian life and style are using wall mandala tapestries in home décor, fashion, accessories, beauty, and other related aspects of life. These beautiful designs can be used to add complex color and ritual to a room and help you achieve your present goals of enlightenment - whatever that may be for you.

Interesting. However I do not know what enlightenment is to me?

that's true, i actually have a hard time smiling back if it happens to me. it was meant in a more metaphorical sense. smile at your friends at least :smile: except if they don't like it, then don't ...

What things would help to bring about world peace? And since being a dictator and controlling people doesn't seem to work out too good, what can I do to make a difference?

-Having a higher purpose

One of the bigger challenges of world peace is the need to care about other people, with as much passion as we have to care about ourselves with. Otherwise there is lots of lone wolves, and not so much co-operation. This is not seen very often. Yeah, maybe every now and then. But who dedicates their whole lives to caring about other people's lives, even at the risk of their own comfort?

-Conflict resolution

When people disagree, their honour and integrity is at stake. They may even be seen as liars, if they are proven wrong. So there is an incentive to stick to what we know, rather than to find out again what is true, and whether to look at things from another angle. Even from the nasty angle that the other person is looking from.

All too often, there can be a big disagreement that separates people for a long time. Maybe even a lifetime. This isn't logical. They may even have skills that could improve our lives, or we could have skills that improves theirs. So logically, there's no sense in shunning or dismissing people's worth. Are they so cunning that nobody else can judge them for themselves, that we have to criticise them all the time? And so, bad-mouthing people is a terrible thing that works against world peace. The world is made up of every country, every community within, our very friendship groups are a part of world peace, because of our interconnection with each other

-Law and order

Without laws, we tend to go rogue. And with laws, they're not so bad, but who agrees to all of them? There is an element of rebellion, which is because we want to change laws to suit us, or to ignore those same rules. And this act of rebellion negates the authority of these rules, and therefore also their effectiveness. And so we have the justice system, an attempt to control those who try to destroy the order that's created by the rules, and to maintain the effectiveness of them.

Is there any perfect law? Love. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

@ Pinky -- no metaphor there, just sharing my version of world peace.
it is important to be comfortable in my own skin - dirty underwear is not peaceful.

@van0014 -- replace the  word "love" (which is very much misunderstood - and often manipulatively confusing) with "patience and gentleness" and you are golden.
