I just want to share stories with you years ago I was honored by our tradition for causing peace in my country during the time of Storm Yolanda or Haiyan. Almost every people have been suffered from that time. Houses were destroyed, means of communication turned down, electricity source was pulled down. no food no water. This disaster has been made by nature.
As Peace weaver, it is nice to help people build their houses. But we make sure that we are capable in helping them out. But during those time, if our own personal house is destroyed, we should rebuild first our house before we can offer other people shelter.
In times of War such as to what is happening to middle east, it is man made. it could be stopped by the human that made it. People think that our Holy Order is not doing something about it. But that is not true. Just like on the time of the storm, we build our house first before we can offer shelter to other people.
Our Holy Order is building up peace inside each members soul that they may radiate it out in their life. The Peace that we have is just like fire that gives warm and light. So as the war weaving peace to them will require other element to calm their fire. Throwing water into it will only anger and make their fire stronger just what like other is doing exhausting themselves doing grief work and protesting which is fiery element as well. In this situation that is happening it seems that all other element will not work out with fire if we put earth it will just burn. if we put air it will only spread. so there is only one element left out which can surely put fire out and that is the element of time.
Those people who are not in the actual fire but involving themselves through social media are the wind that spreading the fire. Instead of weaving peace, they are fueling the fire.
We have to secure our selves first, to fill up our self with peace and be not affected by the war that is going out in the world. As everyday, we have our own personal battle to deal with. You can not help well if you yourself is injured. Heal your self first, be the Peace that your family needs. Build a Culture of Peace in your home first before sharing it to your neighbor.
