individual peace starts with you individually. it starts with your breathing as a fundamentalresponse to life. it's not a radical approach. it's a very fundamental approach. next time somebody around you gets an anxietyattack, or an asthma attack, or emphysema, or something with the lungs, just suggestto them that they alter their breathing reference. instead of breathing up here like this oohhoohh,that's just making it worse, 'cause you hear it and you go, "oh, god, i am dying." especially when that asthmatic wheeze comesup here, and goes ra-a-r-a-, and if you have

to throw up and you can't, then you reallyfeel like you're lost. so you say, "open your mouth. breathe through your nose." "it's plugged, i can't breathe." "breathe through your mouth, breathe throughyour elbow, breathe through your forehead, we don't care what's plugged, keep breathingit in." when the peace starts to settle, it radiatesaround through the body. it's a very funny undulating thing. it goes on, it's not stale.

peace is very much alive. it's in the asthma wheeze. it's in the pain in the neck. it's in the pain in the back and the shoulders. it's the peace is in there. 'cause we didn't do anything except drop thepressure and the peace is there. do you know how we know that biblically? here's this guy, i think they call him jesusor something like that joshua, jsu, they had a name for him.

he got out on a boat with his followers, andthe boat just started going into the stormy weather, and it was really bad. and he said, "peace, be still." and everybody else heard him, but you knowwhat he said. "peace.

be still." 'cause he didn't tell the peace be still,“peace,” to the other elements, "be still." and as they became still, peace settled onthe water and the ocean around them. baruch bashan
