I was very interested recently how a very large problem between two people was made somewhat better by just a few little things. A few words here, a facial expression there, all peaceful, positive, and in the spirit of healing. In hindsight what I really witnessed was how the power of peacefulness from two people operating “independently” yet in union with the Will of God allowed the mending of ways between two others. I am beginning to realize how the concept of peacefulness can usher in the Kingdom Jesus spoke of, as I simultaneously grasp that war and violence will never get us there. Martin Luther King Jr. certainly knew this when he said:

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal

In other words, what Dr. King was saying is that you can’t reach a peaceful endpoint by any other means than peace. Any other means just produces a temporary result. So how does this work? How does my peaceful state change anything? Well, this is what came to me. A state of peace is not just about you, and how you feel. Peace is not a static condition, it is very much dynamic. It doesn’t sit still! It is a condition that emanates from the person who has achieved that peaceful status, and it can be fully felt by others. When we start to become men and women more inline with the intent of our Creator, more inline with the intent of creation others begin to notice. Many times nothing is said, but people are aware of it. It goes along the track of thinking that when someone has achieved a level of consciousness that allows them to draw more fully from the power of our Source they radiate the love of Being (you can use God if you wish), and it is something that can be felt by others. It is tangible. The neat thing is that they will have no choice in the matter. They will know that there is something different about you, and depending on the evolution of the consciousness of the person that may bring them great comfort or great fear. The same people who would argue whole heartedly against the existence of any “non-material” entity, or the presence of “good vibes” will know that something has come upon them, and that it came from you. In the end they might call it “their gut instinct”, which is actually true, they would just deny that the instinct was caused by the presence of Being radiating from you. They would rather attribute it to their own good judgment of people. However, no matter the understanding of the source of the connection, the communication line is now open for great things to happen. OK, so maybe sometimes these are just small steps forward, but as A Course in Miracles says “there is no order of magnitude in miracles!”
