🌟 Zonr Post Analysis: Love, Light & Peace 🌟

Today’s Zonr post beautifully connects spiritual growth and universal peace. This journey begins by dealing lovingly with every person we encounter. Overeaters Anonymous Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions notes this process brings a spiritual awakening. We clean up the wounds of the past. This action finally leaves us at peace with the world around us.

The journey continues toward a humbling path of endless improvement. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions calls this a very large order. We may increase our skill but never truly finish the task. The adventure is fascinating and moving. It involves learning how to live in peace and brotherhood with everyone. We must let go of false pride and embrace humility. Wellbriety teaches that we must find balance. “Balance requires us to walk in peace with all our relations” (Wellbriety, n.d.).

World-renowned poet and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson also explored this inner peace (Emerson, 1841). Emerson’s concept of the Oversoul speaks to a unity of spirit. Walt Whitman then beautifully confirms this spiritual unity. He calls every moment a profound miracle. This perspective reminds us to see the Higher Power in all things.

– Walt Whitman (1819 – 1892), Poeta estadounidense

    I can bring peace by listening, and respecting different mindframes of others. My goal is to get along great with everyone although this doesn’t always occur, I can still be like, Being Peace, by Thich Nhat Hahn. Sometimes it’s normal for us all to not always see eye to eye with each other, but it’s the resolutions to any problems that matter most. I’ve been doing a lot of work on me by going to meetings, so that my correspondences with others are more sound, although I do know I am quite good at being courteous to me.
    May peace, and blessings be bestowed onto all of us this Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and Christmas + New Years.

    The lesson that is hardest for me to learn is how to be more useful for those that I’m close to. I think that I’ll offer to clean the dishes after our Christmas dinner tonite. Just not sure why little things like that are so difficult for me to do.

    But when it comes to helping out in a “crisis” I seem to leap at the chance.

    Love, light, and peace bring us together as one in the sense that when i am living a life full of love, in goodness, and peace with others i dont hurt others. It keeps my side of the street clean and im able to be helpful to others and stay out of self.

    It is very easy for me to slip back in to old selfish behavior and thinking without continually being of service to others. And I realize that for me to be completely present for others during conversations and interactions, I have to make a conscious effort.

    What a wonderful gift that are sharing with us while you are overseas. Thank-you Margo.

    I am determined this year to really examine more than I have in the past, my relations with other. I have lots of supports in that regard so now is the time to do it.

    That will be my contribution to Peace on Earth this coming year.

    Having survived Christmas (and in a different country) I am learning that wishing don’t make it so – but it goes a long way towards opening some of the windows of my mind. To all my brothers and sisters who walk this path with me – Happy Reflection Week.
