About the Author
Introduction
Is World Peace Possible?
On an unusually cold evening in San Diego, back in Oct. 2009, an attendee in one of my workshops came out and asked me, “Is world peace possible?”
As I gathered my thoughts, I took a deep breath and said, “Yes—when a critical mass of people around the world actively make peace a priority”. So my answer was, “Yes.” But since it was conditional I realized most of us need practical, down-to-earth ideas on what specific actions we can take to be part of the solution.
Over the next few weeks relevant questions kept popping into my head:
* Why do we leave such an important task to a few dedicated “peace activists?”
* Can a “regular” person like me make a difference?
* Can we create a world of peace, joy, passion, and aliveness through deeply loving relationships?
I jotted down my thoughts to share with my friends and family. As I wrote, what came out was this blueprint of Extraordinary Love. Extraordinary Love is a way to actively participate in creating peace—a way we can, together, bring a world of peace into existence. The positive feedback of my friends and family encouraged me to share this with the world.
In this light I’m honored to share The Seven Symphonies of Extraordinary Love—A Blueprint for World Peace with you. I invite you to join in the making of world peace, brick by brick, block by block, heart by heart.
The object of this book, world peace, is indeed a bold initiative. But I strongly believe that when ordinary people do extraordinary things, anything is possible. My goal is to demonstrate how conscious living can inspire love and tolerance. It is through our practical choice of love and tolerance that we contribute our unique gifts to the world. And I’m asking for your help spreading this message of love to our communities.
I believe that if each one of us integrates these Seven Symphonies of Extraordinary Love into daily practice in our lives…the world can and will become better—a society where peace, harmony, and happiness grow daily and flourish.
The Seven Symphonies of Extraordinary Love are the practical expression of the divinity within each of us. When we become fully self-realized, connected with our divine, authentic self, Extraordinary Love is the natural expression. The natural state of such an authentic, self-realized being is pure bliss.
Use the Seven Symphonies as a road map to playing your own soul’s unique melody of love. Adopt the Seven Symphonies into your life, build and expand on them. Share the Seven Symphonies among your circle of influence and witness the miracle. Be the catalyst to inspire the divine expression of peace, harmony, and extraordinary love in your community.
Love Is A Natural Quality
Love is an innate quality of the heart. It is born from our human emotions. Love is the fragrant sweetness that permeates the orchard of life. The entire order and flow of the universe is sustained by love.
It is entirely natural for us humans to express these qualities since we are made of the same essence as our Creator, who is love. We are attracted to love as naturally as a deer is drawn to music, as powerfully as a moth is drawn to a flame, by the same magic of the flute hypnotizing a serpent.
Only through love can we truly experience sublime peace. Without love man experiences anguish. Love has existence throughout the ages. Love draws no distinction between a prince and pauper, man or woman. Love affects the rich and the poor, without discrimination. All are equal in the sight of love. Surrendering one’s life to the path of love gives life a unique and exquisite flavor, a flavor enjoyed only by a lover.
Love alone gives peace and happiness.
The Barriers To Love
All human beings want to be happy. To desire happiness is natural because happiness is the fruit of the mind’s concentration. This treasure can be obtained through love, as concentration and happiness are two of the natural attributes of love.
Without love everything in this world is subject to misery and misunderstanding—domestic quarrels, religious disputes, bloodshed, and even wars among nations.
Love is the thread that weaves us all together to experience life’s ecstasy.
Then what gets in the way of unleashing our natural state of love?
To answer this question we must keep in mind that to operate in the world we have an ego-bound personality. This ego prevents us from surrendering fully to the path of love.
Ego or identity is a structure within our psyche. Ego is a poor reflection of our true self because its prime objectives are to assess, judge, and form opinions. We convince ourselves that the ego is an essential part of us, that the ego allows us to operate as intelligent beings. The ego holds that we are superior over others so we can deal with the external world.
The ego uses our past experiences to make sense of the events in our daily life. Because it lives through past experience the ego appears to be a reliable source of information.
The impact of having an ego is that it separates us from the universe and from our Creator. This separation is the fundamental cause of fear. It is the fear of loss that drives us to attempt to control and dominate others. It is this separation that prevents us from trusting the universe. This sense of separation stops us from experiencing the delights the universe has to offer. This is the barrier to creativity, the block to new opportunities, the reason we resist harmony, peace, joy, and love in our lives.
