I have added a comment and my reply to the bottom of this post. Perhaps it will clear up any confusion.
Peace is a word muttered in the pews of churches, synagogues, and temples around the world. Peace is also negotiated over in the halls of the world’s governments. Peace is thought of by many as being the absence of war. Mothers pray for peace when their sons and daughters decide to “fight for peace” in their country’s standing army or become drafted where it is mandantory.
I offer a different viewpoint on the meaning of peace. Instead of viewing peace as merely being devoid of battles and war, view peace as a feeling , knowing and even a power. For those that are religious or spiritual, The Peace of God can be cultivated in one’s Heart. From there it transcends all earthly concerns and offers a knowing , a deep knowing that all is well – no matter what ; that everything is Perfect while unfolding according to Perfection from the Big Picture that we are unable to see.
The awareness of our connection to the Creator is always felt, and yes there is a feeling that surpasses tranquility. A simple but powerful meditation or prayer technique to aid in cultivating Peace is to breathe. While breathing , say to yourself (out loud if you can): “I am breathing in the Peace of God. I am breathing in Divine Peace.”
Know that with each breath inhaled, the Peace of God is entering your body. See it as a shimmering white or blue cloud that spreads into your heart and then throughout the whole body.
Sit with it. Supercharge it, by noticing and thanking God for all of the wonders in your life: a bird’s song on a beautiful morning, the squirrel’s folicking antics as it scurries up and down the trees, the hug of a loved one, the kiss of your toddler, the ability to provide for your family, safe reliable transportation, warm secure shelter, etc. We have so much and know that more doors and windows open up in Life when it is filled with the Peace of God. Try it for week and let me know what you experience.
As always,

I kinda lost what you were saying after this bit, but this bit is very cool.

My last reply was:
‘I realize that this is weeks later, but I hope I can clear up some confusion. I hve been thinking about this.
I am suggesting two things here.
1. Anti-war or actually fighting those that want to go to war or who believe in war is not Peace. Anti-war and Pro peace are 2 different things. Anti war is still fighting.
2. I am suggesting that Peace be viewed as an actual power that can breathed into the body and activated within every cell of our being – both physical and spiritual aspects.
We can do this actually through imagining Peace as being a a mist or cloud. I like to use the color blue. Take a deep breath and as you are inhaling, visualize your breath being that blue cloud of Peace. “See” this Cloud of Peace enter your body. Keep taking more breaths and visualizing more Clouds of Peace enter until your body is filled. Keep breathing until Blue Peace Clouds fill up the air space around you as well. Then just sit back and relaz in the Peace Cloud that you have created.
If you would like, can also add a Vocal command or something similar to ”
I now fill my body and Soul with Peace (Peace of God). I activate this Peace of God with in my being in every cell and all around me. Thank you GOd, Amen.
Modify this little command/prayer to fit your own Spiritual views.
I hope this helps.
try it for several days, and let me know what you think.’
