Peace Process Story. The 6-Step Peace Process was inspired in 1998 after Elaine attended a spiritual conference in Miami. Everyone seemed to want world peace, but nobody had a plan. She had the idea to run the thought of ‘World Peace’ on the Six-Discipline Model published in her textbook, Managing Risk. She explained, “The Six-Discipline Model is a simple process model of the mind that can run any thought. I wrote ‘World Peace’ at the top and changed the generic process to a specific thought of peace and love. Later, I realized the process for world peace is the same as inner peace. The model scales perfectly from universal to personal!”
Step 1: Discover the Problem. Why don’t we have world peace? Attendee Mononna Carrier acknowledged the “Many different types of people in the world.” Tom Gorsuch elaborated, “I think lack of world peace comes from fear among the many types of people or cultures around the world. And that fear creates anxiety, which creates turmoil.”
Sim M typed in the chat, “I’d say that we don’t have world peace because of human greed and disrespect for human life.” Michael Shenk shared, “Fear and misunderstanding on a global scale, some real, most manufactured.” Chris Pauley added, “I think greed and limited resources make it difficult to have world peace.”
Step 2: Envision the Solution. What does a world peace vision look like? Participant Osi Odimuko visualized, “It looks beautiful from here, Elaine. Yes, it looks very good, very peaceful, very serene. Waking up to less chaos, less drama, you know? Having loved ones around. That would be my definition of peace.” Tom imagined, “Everyone can be an individual, and as we respect their values and what they’re trying to achieve, we’re able to get world peace. Using language translation tools makes it possible to appreciate all people.”
Chris offered his viewpoint, “To me, world peace looks like the end of armed conflict. World peace would care for the hungry and the poor.” Michael mentioned, “World peace is for him [my newborn son], not us necessarily.” Sim contributed, “Be an example of kindness, respect, and openness to listening to others.” Trina Gorsuch had a simple solution: “Be kind always.” Mononna chimed in, “I can think of 3 easy adjectives: kindness, love, and happiness.” Michael envisioned more: “Community, connection, respect, and understanding.”
Step 3: Plan for Peace. What is one action step that you could do? Tom shared his personal plan, “On this cruise ship, there are representatives from 54 countries. It’s a great opportunity to build connection with folks and make sure I represent how to care for others.”
Mononna spoke up, “We all need to help spread love and happiness, not only among ourselves and our families, but throughout the daily things we do, like the people we meet on the street and at the grocery store. Spreading love and happiness is key.”
Michael was thoughtful, “Start small, bring peace to myself by witnessing my responses to external and intrinsic stimuli in the moment and choosing peace, love, kindness, gratitude, appreciation, and more. Let that radiate forth to your family, friends, and community. The Peace Process is the way to put it all together!”
Osi offered her perspective, “For me, it starts by praying, then starting from the people around me, the people I interact with, share the kindness and love and peace. I’m going out today to be more intentional, and smile more at people. See how I can start little conversations to be kind to people around me.”
Step 4: Work in Harmony. Can you let go of your conflict? Elaine guided the group through a meditation on Psalm 103, inviting everyone to visualize their love and light dissolving problems and returning the planet to peace. “We’re going to feel that love that you got from the sun rays radiating off the horizon this morning. Think about your love; visualize it dissolving problems. Einstein said we can’t solve problems on the same level that they were created. So, we have to dissolve them from a higher place. I invite everyone to visualize their love dissolving the world’s problems, not just our own, and be the guardians of world peace.”
Step 5: Measure with Honesty. How much love did you send? Guests weighed in on a scale from 1 to 5, evaluating the quality of love they felt during the meditation. The poll options ranged from ‘1 no love at all’ to ‘5 all the love in your heart’. Sameera clarified, “And just to mention, it’s completely fine to choose one or two. That’s the whole process and reason why we’re here. To dissolve anything that might not be serving you, and transmuting that to love and peace.”
Step 6: Value the Progress. What was your takeaway from the call? Trina imparted her lesson learned, “We all have a part to play in world peace, and making not only our inner peace, but also bringing peace into the world and seeing that through so that we can finally have it. Knowing our part starts with something small, with one step. And it doesn’t have to be huge things—it can just start with one small step.”
Mononna summed up her favorite part, “I think my biggest takeaway would be if more people shared the thoughts and the values that this group has shown, I think the world would be a better place.” Chris weighed in on the value, “I can bring world peace to myself and others with prayer, kindness, hope, and compassion.”
Michael explained, “World peace is the result of inner peace; it spreads like light into the darkness.” Sim chatted, “My takeaway is the process with steps related to chakras, where one leads to the next :)” Aria Khodaverdi responded from Australia, “I am connected with those that care about peace. This is already the fulfilment of peace.”
Osi noted, “My takeaway is this awareness that I have to play my part. I have to be more intentional about making this happen.” Tom suggested the way to progress, “If we do our part, then it starts with me. I can impact others to pay it forward. And if those others can take that forward and impact others, it multiplies very quickly. And that’s how we get to world peace.”
Sameera shared from her heart, “Elaine showed me how this is actually a process, a very tangible process that you can do anytime. It doesn’t have to be big. It can be for something that hurts you in the moment. And you can transmute anytime, any day. So, I think what I take away today is a reminder of the process, and that you can do it at any moment, for anything.”
Michael wrote in the chat, “I’m grateful for you, Elaine. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us and with the world!” Sim exclaimed, “Amazing, Sameera! Thanks again to Elaine for creating this space and process! I feel grateful and blessed❤️”
