Contrary to the common belief, attaining the status of Human-In-Peace (Saleh<\/em>) is not through righteous deeds only. Such status is reached\u00a0through perceptions that lead to peace with God, peace with the universe, peace with oneself and peace with others.\u00a0In other words, Human-In-Peace (Saleh<\/em>) has reached peace with every constituent of the existence, with oneself and with others without any opposition. As a result, their thoughts, actions and speech are also formed based on this inner and all-encompassing peace.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Peace with God<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Unless humans develop a proper perception of divine justice and divine wisdom (Hekmat)<\/em>, any unpleasant event in life can serve as a reason for their opposition to God. Therefore, this lack of awareness may lead to an assumption that God has been unjust to them, resulting not only in a denial of divine justice, but also in objections to divine wisdom.\u00a0This is while, according to divine justice (manifested through the prevailing laws in universe), the rights of all components of the existence are upheld, and divine wisdom systematically implements this justice.<\/p>\n

We have all been created according to a grand and calculated plan. As we pass through different stages of life, we move closer to a valuable goal. Divine wisdom systematically implements such a plan. However, this Truth (Haqiqat<\/em>) is only perceived through the Step of Love and awareness of such plan.\u00a0The one who reaches perception and Illumination (Eshraq), <\/strong><\/em>on the one hand attains profound peace with God through a loving relationship, and on the other hand earns in-depth gratefulness after full awareness of God\u2019s divine wisdom and justice.<\/p>\n

One more factory contributing to opposition to God is the lack of understanding and perception of the philosophy of servitude. Many of us mistakenly believe that servitude is a commodity for bargaining with God. Whereas various acts of servitude are to draw us closer to God and are recommended to increase individuals\u2019 certainty about the truths of existence, and through inner transformation, facilitate their growth in Kamal<\/em> (Spiritual Evolvement).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Peace with Existence<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Considering the literal meaning of the word \u2018existence\u2019, it can be said that the Universe is a set of existences, signifying the sacred essence of God and God\u2019s creatures.\u00a0Peace with existence involves two transformations:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • The manifestation of the significance of each existential components to \u00a0human beings, which captivates them with the profound interconnectedness between these components and enchants them with the prevailing love within existence.<\/li>\n
  • Understanding that every event in the universe must unfold according to divine wisdom (Hekmat<\/em>), and personal tendency shall not be imposed upon any of the constituent of existence, including the firmament or time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What drives humans towards such peace is Symphasing with The Cosmos, Symphasing with the Firmament, and Symphasing with Time. \u2018Cosmic Symphasis<\/em>\u2019 is about harmonization and coordination with the components of the universe, which leads to understanding the \u2018Unity of Existence\u2019.\u00a0In other words, Cosmic Symphasis <\/em>means understanding the connection and interconnectedness of all components of existence and their mutual reliance resulting in the formation of a unified whole. With such perception, it becomes evident that no component is removable from this [Unified] body.<\/p>\n

    The human being is also an integral part of the existence ensemble. If not in harmony and peace with other components, they will suffer from various mental, psychological, and physical ailments and will have a shorter lifespan. On the contrary, one type of human immunity (that is indeed the most important type of all) is immunity through love.\u00a0 By embracing a profound love for the universe, even encountering pathogenic factors does not pose a significant threat.\u00a0Therefore, harmonizing with the universe and its components, as well as understanding the value of each part, indicates \u2018peace with existence\u2019. \u00a0Although attaining this peace may not be as simple as peace with God, it is accomplishable through connection with that grace and mercy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Peace with Oneself<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
    <\/div><\/div>

    Human beings find peace with themselves by acknowledging their status in the universe and mastering \u2018Self-reflection. Through this awareness, they can manage their personal faculties in a healthy and dynamic manner. For a better understanding of this subject, it is necessary to study different kinds of \u2018opposition to oneself\u2019 (Tazad<\/em>).\u00a0The primary ground for \u2018opposition to oneself\u2019 (Tazad<\/em>) and all other forms of opposition lies in the \u2018Bi-polarity<\/em>\u2019 of human existence, which provides the opportunity for their experiment and growth.\u00a0Another key factor of opposition to oneself lies in each of the multiple tendencies associated with the Basis (Bonyad<\/em>) software, which accompanies humans from birth. By the Basis (Bonyad<\/em>) software, we mean the temperament and Nature (Teenat)<\/em> that newborns carry with them from birth.\u00a0This set includes \u2018solitude-seeking<\/em>,\u2019 \u2018superiority-seeking<\/em>,\u2019 and \u2018affection-seeking<\/em>,\u2019 which respectively cause evasive, aggressive and compromising behavioral reactions.<\/p>\n

    A solitude-seeking individual tends to avoid any disturbance. Therefore, even the slightest disruption can lead to inner turmoil for them.\u00a0The tendency and effort of the superiority seeking individuals is to assert dominance over others. Therefore, when encountering other individuals who refuse to accept their dominance, they feel defeated and frustrated.\u00a0The affection-seeking individuals constantly crave affection and attention from others. Therefore, any indifference or lack of affection can unsettle them, causing feelings of distress.<\/p>\n

    The important point is that in the case of a healthy personality (psychologically speaking), there is a balance between these three tendencies and their associated reactions. Attaining divine knowledge and awareness, Cosmic Symphasis, and subsequently, the reframing of perspectives contribute to creating this balance.\u00a0When it comes to the issue of the opposition or peace with oneself, the role of an individual\u2019s criteria and perspectives is significant regarding the characteristics related to Bonyad<\/em> (the Basis); and as experience has shown, in other types of opposition to oneself, unawareness, misguided criteria, and incorrect perspectives are major contributors to instability. Examples of such oppositions are as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • If an individual is not prepared to face social, political, economic, cultural oppositions, and so on, they will easily lose their inner balance when confronted with them. In other words, they will experience opposition to oneself.<\/li>\n
    • When an individual struggles to distinguish good and evil and feels helpless, they become confused in making decisions or if their choice does not lead to the desired outcome, and they suffer from \u2018opposition to oneself\u2019.<\/li>\n
    • If there is a lack of alignment between actions and thoughts, the least consequence one may suffer is the escalation in inner pressures, ultimately leading to psychosomatic illnesses. One type of the oppositions between action and thought is in dualistic behaviors which lead to psychosomatic illness. Such pressures indicate \u2018opposition to oneself\u2019.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Individuals with narcissism may seem to be at peace with themselves; however, this trait significantly increases their vulnerability. Therefore, contrary to the common belief, they experience severe inner conflict.<\/li>\n
    • Those who find a significant gap between their actual state of being and their ideal personality will struggle with such conflict that leads toward madness when coupled with their Psychical Defense Reaction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The opposes factors in each of above examples, build obstacles on the path toward \u2018peace with oneself\u2019. Controlling and managing all such factors requires awareness and perception to guide a human being toward broad \u2018Self-reflection\u2019. Such perception is attained through the \u2018mystical movement,\u2019 and this verity underscores the importance of one\u2019s connection (Ettesal)<\/em> with God (the principle and essence of the mystical movement) in achieving \u2018<\/strong>peace with oneself\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Peace with Others<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
      <\/div><\/div>

      The main barrier in reaching the status of the Human-In-Peace (Saleh<\/em>) is \u2018opposition to others. Unlike other beings, the humankind does not have fixed and predetermined behavior; and based on their free-will, they can have new existential effects (such as thought, actions, and speech) at any given moment. In other words, the human being is a creator within their own limits and when communicating with others, they are exposed\u00a0to their diverse existential impact. This leads to differences of opinion, conflicting interests, annoyances, and misunderstandings, laying the basis of their opposition to each other.<\/p>\n

      Therefore, although it is possible for humankind to realize the sanctity of each component of the universe through the perception of the universe (as a Uni-Body), and attain the status of \u2018Peace with the Existence\u2019, they may find it challenging to be free from opposition to fellow human beings. In consequence, the truth behind each individual as a divine manifestation is being neglected and people lose their sanctity and mutual respect.<\/p>\n

      However, an individual who attains the divine knowledge can accept everyone in their status quo and any disapproval of other actions, will not bear personal hatred or oppositions. While keeping away from false behaviors and perspectives, and even confronting them in the best manner, such a person internally respects all other individuals as divine manifestations and is at peace with them.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      World Peace<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
      <\/div><\/div>

      Today, world peace is one of the most serious and significant discourses in international relations, as efforts are being made with a renewed perspective to promote this sublime goal extensively and across various classes of human societies.<\/p>\n

      The globalization of concept of \u2018peace\u2019, such ancient human ideal, contributes to the fading of borders, uniting nations, and ensuring the full realization of human rights and freedoms. The prerequisite for the promotion of world peace is communication and dialogue among intellectuals so that we may witness fundamental changes in worldviews and the actions of influential individuals on our earthly planet.\u00a0Preserving peace and promoting justice are fundamental to realization and implementation of human rights. May that any threat to the lives of humans and all living being be eliminated embracing the perspective of \u2018Interuniversalism\u2019 or \u2018Universe-citizen\u2019 and expanding this ideology on a global scale. The current hostile turmoil in the global arena stems from the absence of peace and the violation of justice, consistently jeopardizing international security and environmental conditions for all inhabitants of the Earth.<\/p>\n

      One of the objectives of the Taheri Peace Organization is to foster sustainable peace, peaceful living, and advance justice and environmental protection. To achieve those goals, the organization invites comprehensive cooperation from all international organizations and institutions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

      Unity in Existence<\/h2><\/div>

      The unity of the existential components is an undeniable truth. God is \u2018one\u2019, so is God\u2019s shadow. We might preferably describe the universe as a reflection of God, showcasing that unity through this uniformity. The multiplicity that prevails the universe is itself in unity and in short, the foundation of the world is upon unity.\u00a0In light of this unity and uniformity, all existential components comprise a \u2018Uni-Body\u2019, each holding a unique significance in relation to one another. If human beings reach the perception of this unity, they will no longer object to any existence in the universe and will acknowledge the necessity of each component within this immense collection.\u00a0They will realize that the creation of no creature or phenomenon is futile, and even the smallest components of the universe contribute to the realization of the greatest objectives of the creation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
