Definition of Peace and its Different Types as Approached by Halqeh Mysticism

Although the word “PEACE” has a clear meaning for most people, ‘peaceful act’ and ‘peaceful individual’ can have different interpretations. In conflict to the common assumption, the state of the peaceful person is not one we can achieve only through good deeds. This state is obtained through perceptions that result in making peace with God, with the universe, with one's self, and with the others. The peaceful individual has no conflict with any of them. Consequently, the individual's thoughts, actions and words are also formed on the basis of this internal and multilateral peace. When a person is striving toward conflicts, their being does not work in integrity; hence, the brain orders the secretion of poisonous chemical hormones. In other words, the conflict factor is one of the poisonous factors that harms human's health and takes away their inner peace. It is one of the factors causing mentosomatic diseases.
