To a Christian a peaceful mind does not equal a peaceful soul or a clear conscience either. A peaceful mind is too shallow.
A relationship with Christ clears the conscience and saves the soul from misery. You can keep the mind while this is happening.
The East & West are really very different.

All of what you have written came from your mind
All of your thoughts which inspired you to write your Thread came from your mind....
East and West are not so different when you open up to the messages behind the teachings.
