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 was 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 Julie Santamaria shared, “Well, an observation of what’s been going on the last year, it seems to be greed and money and power of the so-called elites.” Mike Shenk offered, “There’s too much division created through labeling one another and the differences people see, rather than seeing that we’re all human beings basically the same. We just have different perceptions, different views, and different ways of seeing the world.”

Step 2: Envision the Solution. What does a vision of world peace look like? Participant Merrilee Zielke imagined, “Everyone is on board leaving the world better than we found it. That means environmentally, with our health, with education, with all things. Everything is designed to give back, to be in a positive flow, fueling the future with positivity. It’s more than just sustainability, it’s leaving everything better.”

Jill Rogers added, “We can see through the eyes of love and that will help to ripple the effect of getting things going.” Sameera chimed in, “Start with inner peace first, and unity within communities having peace, health, and gratitude. Then build it and ripple it out to homes, and then community, and then country, town, village, and then expand it across the world. It really starts with self-love.”

Mike contributed from the chat, “Global empathetic understanding, compassion, gratitude, love, and joy.” Beth Cook said, “More acceptance of each other. One reason I quit watching the news, just because it was too much negativity for me. I try to keep up with what’s going on once in a while, but I always end up regretting looking.”

Tom Gorsuch offered his viewpoint, “You’re paying attention to things that are joining people together instead of dividing people apart. It’s a constant choice.” Elaine envisioned, “Everybody is a peacemaker. My 6-week course is based on one line of Scripture that Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, the seventh Beatitude, ‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’ Peacemakers are blessed to be a blessing!”

Step 3: Plan for Peace. What is one action step that you could do? To bring about the vision, Jill planned a simple step. “I say, just be kind. It doesn’t cost anything to be kind. People feel your kindness then give them love. It just flows all together. Every day, be kind.”

Mike shared his plan. “My personal action step comes down to finding inner peace, and meditation helps to find it on a daily basis. When I am at peace within myself, it would be much easier to spread it to the world. To let everyone see it in action and feel the energy, rather than trying to push views on anyone. It’s better to be an example, and that starts with inner peace, meditation, clearing thoughts to make clear choices around how I want to show up.”

Tom agreed, “Yeah, making good choices. If you are at peace with yourself, then you recognize when someone or something comes to you that isn’t congruent. You recognize it better and remove yourself from that situation, so it’s not taking you out of your own peace. If we’re all making better choices for peace, then it accumulates.” Elaine spoke up, “Really, you have one choice. It’s either to curse or bless. If you’re a peacemaker, you will bless, and you will not curse. Peacemakers bless, and that’s the choice.”

David Marchand noted, “Being a healer-type person, the one thing I do on a regular basis is hold space. Being a light worker and working with grids and sending love to Mother Earth and everyone. Just holding space seems natural to me. And I think that’s a good example. Just holding space.” Bonnie Dubrow offered another way. “Not to give advice, correct people, or challenge them unless they ask for it. Because otherwise, I’m attacking.”

Step 4: Work in Harmony. Can you let go of your conflict? Elaine guided the group through a meditation, starting with a breathing exercise. She invited everyone to visualize their love and light dis-solving problems and returning the planet to 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 in the meditation. Options on the poll were 1 for no love at all and 5 for all the love in your heart.

Step 6: Value the Progress. What was your takeaway from the call? Merrilee said, “I’m realizing many people need to develop and cultivate inner peace. And the focus right now is inner peace. Igniting that light within themselves, that unconditional love for themselves, and that’s where we’re at in the collective. What we need to help people do is learn how to love themselves and cultivate inner peace.”

David reflected, “Yeah, it’s literally like opening up those light codes and shining more. And just being more receptive of one Earth frequency. Shining and getting more inner peace through nature or whatever. And connecting, getting brighter inside, it will definitely prevail.” When asked what she learned on the World Peace Telesummit, Jill noted, “For me to stand in my own power and not let somebody dim my light. I’m working on giving them their space to feel the way they feel, but not letting them try to take my light.”

Mike offered his takeaway. “It’s just great to find another group of folks who also avoid the news the way that I do, so that was great. The other big takeaway is to continue to try my best to live at a higher vibration, embracing love, joy, peace, happiness, those higher vibrating emotions. And then to set that intention and try to live up to that intention every day, to have it radiate into the world and touch others without forcing or pushing my views, or coming from a place where I feel as though I’m attacking or trying to change the way that somebody sees their reality, rather than just influencing it.”

Tom acknowledged, “It’s a continual practice, or daily practice. The forces out there that want to take your peace, they’re constant, so be constantly diligent about it, and take the time to meditate when you need it. So, that’s my takeaway.”

Julie also weighed in on the value. “Well, it’s a good reminder not to be angry at a family member. I pray for her all the time for peace, but she has so much anger, and it just sucks the energy out. So this is just a reminder to keep me strong, not to be angry.” Elaine responded, “Negative emotions are really a call for love. Anger, fear, and worry are a call for love. Once you’re aware and know what you don’t want, we have to bring what we do want. Keep the choice simple. Do I want to curse or bless? And you always want to bless your family.”

Sameera added, “Elaine, thank you so much for doing this, it’s a reminder that peace can be initiated, right? Just as you did here. It doesn’t have to wait for a big stage of nations to come together to initiate. We can do it. And it begins with one person, or just a small community, like right now, what we have here, in this moment, together, from so many different places. To come together, and then to weave our voices in this collective consciousness, and that intention alone is strong enough to create this ripple effect, and that can go far beyond what we can imagine.”

Bonnie summed up her favorite part, “Well, I’m just glad to see initiatives that are focusing on what we as individuals can do, other than picketing. Because if you’re doing that, you’re actually adding fuel. Sometimes it’s tough to sit back and think that my meditating, that my being kind contribute to what I want. That’s where I have to focus.”

Links to Resources. Sameera shared, “Just a reminder for everyone, that as a heartfelt bonus that Elaine’s giving out, you’ll be able to access the replay of this call, or share it with your loved ones, your neighbors, anyone else, in the link that is posted here. And may it continue to open your mind, your heart, to the world peace whenever you return to this replay.

World Peace Telesummit: Field of Love

The 7th World Peace Telesummit was held on September 21, 2021 to celebrate the International Day of Peace and to strengthen the ideals of peace among people.

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 was the same as inner peace. The model scales perfectly from universal to personal!”

What does a vision of world peace look like? Participant Samarah Daniels shared, “What I’d like to see is that it’s a global event. A meteor shower is what I’m suggesting. It’s a meteor shower of a vibrational field of love that awakens people to the possibility that we can all work together. And as one, create not only world peace but inner peace and peace among nations.”

Aaron Dill imagined what world peace would look like if we had it now. “I envision it more in the context of community, living together in community and not necessarily religious community, but that everybody’s holding up basically the same values. I think it’s really important to focus on caring, sharing and humility. Even in the past, Christian communities have taken a vow of obedience. Well, obedience can be abused. And I’ve always thought taking a vow of humility would be even better, because everybody is wishing the same thing about being humble. I think humility is definitely a big part of it.”

Jak Bicaci offered his viewpoint, “I would like to see a Department of Peace. I mean somebody who really enforces world peace. We don’t have that. No country has that and I think it’s time for us to establish that platform in each government.”

To bring about her vision, Samarah identified one action step. “If everyone would take a breath and take a pause when something typically would trigger them. If you go into that sacred pause and you just take a moment and choose love. When we pause instead of reacting, we come back into our heart and into our mind. And we basically say, ‘I see only love.’ So, the sacred pause is my little baby step that I’m pretty good at most days—and to see only love.”

Aaron said there’s definitely work to be done. “Let go and pray and let God do what he has to do. And of course, we do what we have to do and that starts a circle back that starts with us just to be more focused on peace within and then bring that out into the world.”

Jak has a plan for global peace. “I would like to see more scientific minds from different parts of the world, from different countries get together and start understanding how this planet operates and how we can really truly achieve peace.”

Barry Bettman offered another way. “It’s leading by example, setting an example instead of talking about it. Instead of the ‘Why is this all not working?’ to be the leader or the steward of peace. Take the step, take the breath, have the conversation with people as opposed to the rant-rant, rant-rant, ‘Why we don’t have it…’ Flip that 180 around.”

The model scales perfectly from universal to personal!”

What does world peace look like? Participant Jerry Forney shared, “It would be a world where people love each other. People don’t judge because they realize we all are imperfect. And they love each other because of their imperfections. By embracing our imperfections, we continue to grow and evolve therefore they are liberating forces not limiting forces.”

Jerry envisioned peace on earth. “A world where we love and accept each other unconditionally without placing blame, where we take responsibility for our own well-being, loving and forgiving ourself. I think if more and more people would try to become more Christ-like, I think we would have world peace.”

Barry Bettman responded, “Beautiful. So, it’s about treating each other in a kind, gentle manner and letting our flaws be normal instead of trying to hide them. I think it’s a paradigm shift from negativity, out of the ego to a place of caring and sharing. I think if we can shift from me, me, me, to what can we do to help each other from a place of love and caring, the shift can begin.”

Elaine Christine offered a new paradigm, “The current paradigm is GOOD and EVIL, but we’re making a new sentence. We’re taking the ‘I’ out of EVIL to take responsibility. Our only function is ‘LOVE’ and the only thing left is ‘GOD’. So, that’s the new paradigm, ‘I LOVE GOD’.

What would world peace look like if we had it now? Jeanne Lyons contributed her thoughts, “You know, right now especially with me being in California, the first thing that came to mind is that I could just breathe freely and be able to feel that relaxation in my chest and to allow the love to come in.”

To bring about her vision, Jeanne identified one action step. “I’ve been on a kindness kick. And I really love to find something kind to do, even staying at home. I just got off a phone call with a friend that I haven’t spoken to in over a decade. And it was so uplifting to be able to connect.”

Tom Gorsuch concurs, “It’s easy to be familiar with anybody in the world through technology to communicate worldwide and to show kindness to others. Today you can have kindness for anyone in the world. So, I guess just spreading the idea of kindness to anyone and everyone in the world, no matter what.”

The model scales perfectly from universal to personal!”

What will it take to create peace? Participant Nicole Jansen said, “I think that for people to recognize when we work together, we all win. We either make this work or we don’t, and the cost is very high. So, it’s really important for us to set aside our own agendas, and to recognize the way we get what each of us desires is to work together.”

What does world peace look like? Jerry Forney shared, “What world peace looks like is a world where people take personal responsibility to finding inner peace. The world that I’m envisioning is where that becomes integrated into our daily lives. Our consciousness is raised in such a way that in our interactions and transactions with one another they are imbued with awareness of interconnectedness.”

Tom Gorsuch contributed his thoughts, “It’s where people love one another as they would love themselves. And if that happened universally, we would have world peace.”

To bring about his vision, Tom identified one action step. “First, be at peace with yourself. The people you come in contact with will sense that peace. And treat them the way they deserve to be treated then they leave with more peace. That’s what I hope to do on a daily basis.”

Participants used their imagination to envision world peace. Rose Jabbour said, “I see that people are being responsible for themselves. They are not projecting blame on anybody else. They work on clearing up their own inner conflict, coming from a place of love and compassion. When you come from love and compassion, there’s peace.”

Tracy Ann shared her vision, “I envision every individual lighthearted and happy and full of peace. And when you are full of peace, you’re joyful and you spread joy and love to other people. It’s pretty simple. I think if we started with our own self, hopefully we get the ripple effect, and it just keeps going out and out and out. That’s my vision. I do that empowerment envision at night. I go all the way out and just cover the whole Earth in love and light.”

Aaron Dill concurred, “I agree with peace starting within ourselves first and being more peaceful and calm and focusing on that at the end of the day, because then you can start your day in the morning more refreshed.”

Tom Gorsuch contributed, “I hadn’t really thought about it before, but in terms of if the military is in an area to add stability, it can actually be a peace force. And to the extent that we can share resources or help people who are hungry or less fortunate than us, we can create more equilibrium. And those things are necessary for peace.”

Participants used their imagination to envision world peace. Tracy Ann said, “I believe that the vision that I have right now in my head is just beauty and calm and love. Everyone getting along. Everyone loving one another and sharing their individual love with everyone else. There’s no judgment, no hatred. Love rules above all!”

Thomas Eric contributed his thoughts. “I think that first you need some level of respect for each other before you get the love for one another. But if you respect others as human beings then you have a basis for communicating and through communicating you can make forward progress. But I’d also like to say that you know, war is expensive and peace is free. So just economically speaking, the more peace we have the more abundance that we can have as a humanity, as a human race. So I just kind-of wanted to throw that out as a vision. There could be a lot more abundance for everyone when we get to that state of world peace.”

Karen Frank explained her vision, “We can see a world where we can step out of the systems that have been created, where people can live and work their purposes and their passions and be at peace and have a lot of time to be creative. My assignment is helping to create a new paradigm of being on the planet. That is being translated into creating community on the physical plane, off-grid sustainable, holistic and green community prototypes to be duplicated worldwide.”
