Is it ? Are you saying you have never in your life told a white lie to spare some one sorrow..?

Very hard to hold a dying family member who says directly I am not dying..
I will live wont I ?

Maybe distorting truth ..so they are not fearful... but that is a white lie.

All The best 3d

Universal law is do no harm

Honesty is not harmful to me. ..

3d

I'm with 3d regarding truth.

Telling a dying rellie they are not dying only temporarily avoids sorrow.
What will they feel, not only about dying, but also that they were lied to at such a crucial moment in their life.
Honesty helps them prepare for the unavoidable.

What is peace?
Peace:
: A treaty to cease hostilities.
: The absence of mental stress or anxiety.
: Harmonious relations; freedom from disputes.
: The state prevailing during the absence of war, turmoil, conflict.

How a person achieves this is up to them.

Peace is also people finding it... unearthing it, and then coming back to let us know it's there.

Peace may be the unfolded oragami of existence.

Peace is the absence of distraction and the sum total of the all.

Peace is perfection and .......in itself.........one is part ..yet whole .one feels Full..held..loved...........and quite.

Peace is The Silence.

The quiet open space within and all around.

It isn't created or achieved but discovered.

Thinking that good-looking is good. Before unmasking him, realizing that he in fact hates you, there is no peace.

This is very common. Humankind is currently hiding his hatred with this ->

Saying that "I hate you" (and why if possible) is actually constructive. A step toward peace.

3d... I hear that you're saying, Discovering the truth begins with self-honesty.

Otherwise we fool ourselves by thinking that feeling the numbness of repression is peace.

Facing the hatred, the fear and the projections that have lurking in the back of the mind is a big first step to becoming free... in peace.

Is hatred the only obstacle... the only opposite to peace?

Or could it be all the mind stuff that goes on and on... analyzing, attacking, defining and defending without looking into where it all arises from... down to the core.

Believe it or not, peace is the pure foundation of the non-peaceful distractions and distortions of the mind.

Hi .

I would say there are as many levels of peace as there are love and joy and whatever .

The levels of peace and what not depends on the relationship that one has with self .

If one is in conflict with self then the levels of peace would reflect that .

An individual that is at peace with one's self will be of peace .

My truth in situations RE: Dying family Member ..Is a fine balance of compassion, awareness and a gentleness in preparation ( and in those moments there was a peacefulness felt between us also)...there-fore the dying member felt it was safe to find her Truth ..voice her fears ...on her timing ..not mine..which she did ..this is to me respect of her journey and no not easy .. ( also for me it is not as simple as saying ( nor adding too a fear) when a love one is in the stage of denial and fear .. .." YES you are dying' Who determines what is a "truth and what is a lie."?..As stated Universal Law is do no Harm..
There is NO positive NOR negative in these Humbling moments OF soul ..
There Simply "IS"

I totally agree ..Self Truth ..Is Important ..for Growth ..and that realization is For The SELF...

We teach by loving and guiding ..And Timing is with dignity and Grace..

No one made Us GOD.. with tenderness we listen to the needs of soul..

Death is illusion anyway ..So the answer on a SOUL level is Truth.
Yet To a man made Society with a book of man made Rules ..It is a LIE...


Perception...of Intent ..whether another feels it is honest or dishonest is a judgment.
