Sevenfold Path of Peace
The Sevenfold Path of Peace, at its core, is based on a vision of the unity of all life, and a wholehearted adherence to the finest aspirations of peace through seven aspects of life. The Sevenfold Path originates from the ancient teaching of the Essences. An ancient humanist tradition based on a peace that calls for compassion and the celebration of life. The values and principles of that have a wealth of wisdom for us today, for a new paradigm for a new humanity. Based on the respect for life, human dignity of body, mind, emotions, community, culture, ecology and the divine.
Peace with the Body
We begin with the body. When the body is nourished by nature’s seven healers: (1) organic, living foods; (2) fresh air (3) adequate sunlight; (4) pure water; (5) exercise; (6) rest and, (7) emotional, mental and spiritual nutrition, we experience a natural state of health and harmony. The Essenes perceived the body as the manifestation of the laws of life and the cosmos. Through the study of the body is revealed the ‘keys’ to the universe, and how to heal oneself.
Peace with the Mind
Peace with the mind involves creating a peaceful mind on three levels: the individual mind, the planetary mind, and the cosmic mind. The mind’s individual function is to utilize the power of thought to lovingly guide our feelings and actions. The planetary function is to contribute noble and uplifting thoughts to the planetary thinking body, thus connecting one with the cosmic ocean of thought from which all inspiration and truth come. Through this most powerful force of thought, one has the ability to achieve anything to which one aspires that is in harmony with Cosmic Law.
Peace with Emotions / Family
Peace with the family is concerned with harmony in the feeling body, and harmony in the emotions. Divine love is the great cosmic power. It is the law of the body but is expressed most powerfully through the feeling body. The key is to love oneself unconditionally. This gives one the strength to interact with family, friends and associates with unconditional love. The feeling body can be the most powerful capacity for creating health and vitality.
Peace with Community
Peace with community is the ultimate result of a shift in individual consciousness to the awareness of global unity. To do this we must heal the illusion of separation. The more we live in harmony with natural and divine laws the more we are likely to experience our true state of oneness with all of creation. The Essenes saw Nature as their bible. From each Element, they received their education and their pleasure. Through meditation, study and Nature we learn peace with community.
Peace with Culture / Humanity
Peace with culture refers to the utilization of the masterpieces of wisdom from all ages, including the present. Humanity can take its rightful place in the universe by absorbing the great spiritual teachings given to us. The Essenes were aware of three approaches to spiritual evolution: the intuitive path of the mystic, the path of studying nature, and the path of studying the works of the great masters of literature and art. They practiced a combination of all three.
Peace with Earth Ecology / Environment
Peace with the Earthly Mother is the foundation of our physical and spiritual existence. Our health, vitality and well-being require an ability to attune ourselves to our inner nature so that we may know nature as an extension of our Self. As we re-sensitize ourselves to nature we learn to co-operate with Her laws and discover them as a natural expression of who we are.
