4 Foreword On my path to understanding enlightenment and guiding many people on their spiritual path I discovered a deep peace inside me. This deep peace made me accept and respect everybody as they are/he is and that every soul is consciously or unconsciously looking for themselves. I discovered that everybody is truly a spark of God. This awareness inside me made me understand the problems of the Earth that we are facing now on a deeper level. It made me realize that if you don t feel peace inside, it will be difficult to live by it and will therefore become more or less superficial. There is a difference between peace and true peace. Peace can be seen as an agreement where two or more parties are satisfied and no fights will occur. True peace is a consciousness where the truth about life is understood and maybe even integrated and has a deep peace as a result. To understand my view I would first like to share my vision of God. I see God as a pure clear light that represents the Universal Intelligent Energy and permeates everything. This Universal Intelligent Energy possesses a power, wisdom and love that works only from unconditional love. Humanity is able to tap into this source of energy by acting out of compassion and growing towards unconditional love. It is a learning process for humanity to look beyond the differences on Earth (the illusion) 1 and to accept each other as true brothers and sisters, so that a unity is formed in which people are responsible for each other and life on Earth. This is the way to Enlightenment, the way of the Messiah, the way to deep peace on Earth. Seeing God like this made me responsible for my actions from the inside and it made me discover a beauty that we are all part of. In my opinion the italic in the text above is what we all should work on. Peace can be much more than an agreement, it can be an embodiment and I believe it should be embodied to clear out all future conflicts. Religious and political leaders have the power to change the world together. But are they willing to do everything in their effort to create peace on Earth and maybe even transform their beliefs, even if it takes generations? This short paper is an outline of the way I believe we should grow to this state of embodiment of deep peace. It is an evolution in the growth of humanity of which pure intention is the basis. In the process of writing this paper, which is part of a book I am writing, I got more caught up in the web of Earthly matters, which made me realize we have to go back to simplicity. 1 Illusion in this context means the world of differences or duality containing the opposite of love and light like hate and darkness, whereas enlightenment is the world based only on light and unconditional love. 4
5 What is peace and how do we see peace on Earth? I think the first thing that should be outlined is that everybody understands what we want to achieve. Peace on earth is the big topic. But is it within reach concerning countries and religious differences and internal differences? First I would like to outline a few definitions of peace. What is peace? 1.The absence of war or other hostilities. 2. An agreement or a treaty to end hostilities. 3. Freedom from quarrels and disagreement; harmonious relations: roommates living in peace with each other. 4. Public security and order: was arrested for disturbing the peace. 5. Inner contentment; serenity: peace of mind. What we see in these different explanations is that the first four definitions have to do with situations outside ourselves and they are more like an agreement, while the latter is inside a person. In my opinion both are needed to create peace on Earth. Achieving a peace of mind depends on the level of consciousness and of one s situation, but I believe it is the most important topic to work on. Understanding peace and embodying it will take time, but in due time this will have the biggest influence on the outside world. Peace on Earth As I see it, peace on Earth can not be reached as long as people don t understand the true meaning of it. For me, peace on Earth requires an enlightened world. An enlightened world is a world where a certain level of consciousness is achieved, where everybody can co- exist in love without fights or quarrels, and there s a deep respect for and acceptance of one another. In order to create true peace on Earth we are to let go of our ego- power, - force, and - love and act from pure intention. Only together can we create a better world. In this we need to acknowledge that we are interdependent and that we are all responsible. I think we all agree that this is too much to be asking for right now, as fights and war are around the corner. But what can we do to grow to this awareness together? I belief it is about making people conscious of what peace truly is by returning to what is keeping us from creating a peaceful world. 5
6 What is keeping us from creating a peaceful world? There are many reasons why there are fights or conflicts. They happen everywhere inside and outside ourselves. The main causes are conflicts of ego power and inequality. In order to create true peace on Earth we are to let go of our ego- power (control), - force, and - love and act from pure intention. Only together can we create a better world. In this we need to acknowledge that we are interdependent and that we are all responsible. Ego The ego 2 is seen as a person s sense of self- esteem or self- importance. Ego behaviour is coming forth from fear and survival. In some sense it might even be seen as animal behaviour. I truly belief humanity needs to go beyond these behaviours to grow to a higher level of consciousness. Is the world ready or willing to let go of their ego to create a better world together? The main thing to comprehend is the intention. What is the intention of one s actions? Is this intention pure or egoistic? Why are we interdependent and what are we responsible for? We all live on the Earth and we have many differences between ourselves. Differences in skin colour, in countries, wealth and poverty. What if you were born in another country, with another skin colour, with another religion? By putting yourself in another position you widen your view to the world. The question I have is that every time a disaster happens, people and countries are willing to give a lot, which of course is a good thing. But there is so much poverty in the world that depends on for example weather conditions. Why isn t there a constant stream of help without boundaries or debts? We are all living on this earth and it is our obligation to help one another in every way we can by giving without expectations. Don t look at the weight of the money, but the power of the giving. An enlightened world means that there are no more boundaries and people accept the Earth as a place where we should live together in love, because we are interdependent. If you don t see the Earth as a unity of which we are all part of, conflicts arise. It s a conscious choice. If you walk away from it you re not part of this unity. 2 The meaning of ego used here is perfectly described in the urban dictionary. The part of you that defines itself as a personality, separates itself from the outside world, and considers itself (read: you) a separate entity from the rest of nature and the cosmos. Perhaps necessary for survival in some evolutionary bygone, in modern times it leads only to (albeit often disguised) misanthropic beliefs and delusion. (Source: 6
7 Growing to Pure Intention Pure intention is the key to changing the world. It is a natural state of consciousness that breaks down the barriers and obstructions, thereby creating a genuine environment of honesty and trust, ensuring only positive influences remain. In a state of Pure Intention we grow towards a caring & conscious society in abundance. By tackling the heart of the matter and allowing for the release and flowering of insights, Pure Intention can be created in all actions. True Peace on Earth can only be created if the intention of every party involved is pure. The Earth as School: Growing to a knowledge of deeper awareness to create true peace on Earth I would like to go deeper into what I wrote in the foreword: It is a learning process for humanity to look beyond the differences on Earth (the illusion) 3 and to accept each other as true brothers and sisters, so that a unity is formed in which people are responsible for each other and life on Earth. To see each other as brothers and sisters we have to acknowledge that we come from the same nest, which is like having the same parents. If God would truly be seen as a (supreme) father, like Jesus did, and we all are his children, it would make us automatically brothers and sisters. I see the Earth as this magnificent school where the hardest lesson can be learned, by stepping out of the belief in differences as we see with our eyes. It is a school were we all could graduate as One. In my belief true peace on Earth lies in the knowledge of awareness. Golden rules to achieve true peace on Earth 1. Make it a number One priority 2. It is in giving we will receive 3. Look beyond differences on Earth 4. See the Earth as a Global Community and create unity 5. See the Earth as a school, where we can only graduate as One 6. Look for peace inside yourself 7. Simplify your life, keep it simple 8. Willingness to let go of old beliefs 9. Co- operate not compete. Say no to competitive situations 10. Innovate as a world not as an individual In summary I would say: Defeat the Ego in every sense possible! 3 Illusion means here the world of differences or duality containing the opposite of love and light like hate and darkness, whereas enlightenment is the world based only on light and unconditional love. 7
8 The role of Political and Religious Leaders Governments and Religious leaders should join their hands together and invest in this important matter, because they are responsible for their role and have influence on the majority of the people. In my belief they should wipe out every egotistic /selfish action done under their supervision and act from pure intention. What can political and religious leaders do to help their citizen s act from pure intention? Pure Intention will create a closer connection between individuals and society. Political and Religious leaders should take care of the understanding and embodiment of peace in their community. As leaders they should first of all make the effort to embody peace in themselves. This picture shows the fields where they should work in. Z Country A Y Religion X Country B X World Peace Constitution: Unity Religion Y Country C Y World Peace Constitution: Growing to World Unity through Pure Intention The arrows indicate the responsibility political and spiritual leaders have in their community while working with the World Peace Constitution. Political leaders need to work for their own country to achieve peace on many levels. Religious leaders work in the countries where their religion is active. If both parties work together 8
9 from pure intention, the world can grow to a higher level of consciousness and unity were we could co- exist in respect and acceptance. Countries and Religions have different communities and beliefs, but that should not keep them from working together from Pure Intention. Growing to a conscious state of mind as a World may seem like an unrealistic goal and it will probably take ages to fulfil. It will be an evolution for humanity and if you want to create true peace on Earth it should not be taken lightly. The more people that understand the principle, the greater the chance that it will be embodied in society. Peace through Pure Intention should be stimulated in every field: Peace in yourself Peace in your society Peace in your home Peace in your family Peace in your city or village Peace in your country Peace in your world I use the word you, because it will make people understand their own responsibility in creating a peaceful world. World Peace Constitution: Unity through Pure Intention By leaving out the boundaries humanity created and by seeing each other as human beings living on the same Earth, breathing the same air and therefore by respecting, accepting, sharing and trusting each other, a Unity of the Earth can be formed where we are all responsible for life on Earth. If countries and religions are willing to really work from pure intention to create true peace on Earth, a constitution can be formed. Even if the world is not ready to let go of ego behaviour and of truly working together from purity, the keystone can be put step by step by the ones who are already willing to work on it and can therefore be an example for others. Peace Programs A unified peace program should be made in order to reach humanity on every level of growth and consciousness. Leaders of the World and future ones should emphasize the importance of pure intention in order to create world peace. This program should be supervised strictly to maintain the purity of the goal. Therefore an independent party understanding and embodying peace through pure intention should be formed or accommodated in an independent existing party. Leaders and future leaders should embody this constitution before taking part. Their actions should be clear and transparent. The focus of the program should be on both current and future world leaders: Political and Religious Leaders and Children: Future Leaders. 9
10 Political and Religious Leaders Leaders of the world are considered to be responsible for creating a peaceful world. Peace starts within themselves, between them and in their community or country. Leaders should be focused on the needs of their society and on the needs of the world as well. They cannot meet all needs, but they should make every effort to create and maintain peace in both their society and in the world as a whole. By helping your society understand what peace involves and how to integrate this in one s home and community, you will get to the heart of the matter. As a community you reflect what you are! Meaning: if there are disruptions in your community you will reflect that in the world. Internal peace programs for the community o If you want to lift your society in understanding peace through pure intention, you have to understand and go to the level of the person s consciousness. People have the tendency to live out a role in the triangle: victim, offender and rescuer. They have to get out these roles and take responsibility in their life. Make it simple! External peace programs for world leaders o Programs based on communication between world leaders and the incorporation of pure intention. Children: Future Leaders Children are the future leaders of the World By teaching children the core of peace and pure intention worldwide, a group of future leaders can be formed who understand the importance of maintaining peace in the world. With a good guidance and a good program the next generation can set the foundation of peace in the world. They need to learn how to handle unpeaceful situations. Leaders of the world are responsible and should invest in the future leaders. It is their obligation for the next generations. 10
11 About the author The moment I begged God Please let me do on Earth what I need to do, my life changed immediately. From being an econometrician and investment analyst I grew to be a spiritual teacher and master healer. From the light I carried with me I started to guide people who were open to heal and understand their lives. For years I gave teachings of the soul, in consciousness, meditation and the multi- dimensional world. Beside that I was blessed with the gift to initiate, to give blessings and open passageways for the soul to travel through. My sessions developed naturally. It s a gift I share in different ways. I do not follow a religion, but respect every religion in its core as an expression of the pure essence God. As in the poem on the front page In the name of I am working on purifying Gods name. For the years that I have worked as a Master of Light, and many people experienced the presence of God, something they didn't experience elsewhere (I say in my humbleness). Since childhood I experienced a strong connection with God, but never realized it wasn't common. Much later I understood that many people lost their way to God within themselves. I see it as my duty to God and God in Me to help people discover what they truly are! I have written two books on this subject: the Isaia Scripture and I don t want them to follow me,.. Through the foundation I have started recently Isaia Foundation I hope to contribute to creating a loving and peaceful world. The background and intentions of the foundation are based on the Isaia Scripture. The working field for now is on children in need and the campaign Stop Fighting: A new Earth starts within you.
