An Invitation to PEACE (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781534823105)

Introduction

We live in fast moving times. Look how much the world has changed since you were a child - look how much has changed in the last ten years. People lead such busy and hectic lives just trying to get by that most of them hardly ever get round to stop and seriously ask what exactly this life is about anyway. Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? And since this life is going to end one day, is there anything we need to achieve before it is all over? Because, all of the outer developments aside, take away all the layers and you find we're still the same as we always were deep down. Our basic needs are still the same, our basic fears, our basic hopes. And if there's one thing that we all desire, it's to be happy, to be at peace.

With all the advances in technology and all the ways life is easier for us than it was for our parents and grandparents, you'd expect people in this time would be the happiest people that ever lived. But are they? Are you? Depression seems to be an epidemic that's plagued this age like none before it, as well as anxiety and restlessness - at least, inner restlessness. Why is that? The trouble with this age seems to be that with all the progress we've made and all the new things we possess, we've lost something people before us had. We've lost a real purpose to live for. Deep down inside, we know that these bits and pieces we're surrounded by can't be the purpose of it all - we're all the time getting nearer to when we have to leave them all. Yet it is these material things that most people have made the target of their lives, and got themselves believing will deliver that basic goal of ours: happiness and peace. And so we continue working so hard to achieve them, and continue finding when we get to them that we were wrong. But maybe the next thing will bring real happiness...

This book has been written to help you find that you do have a meaning beyond simply going through the motions of life - eating, drinking and procreating - and that there is a way for you to achieve happiness by living a meaningful, fulfilling life, a life that still means something after the material things have ended. It's really an answer that's already within you, furnished with some information from around you, that is going to be presented before you. For your part, you must open your heart and mind and be sincere in order to recognise the truth when you see it. The truth, after all, is no small matter.

Peace.
