As a species, we are individually and collectively traumatised by a history that has basically equated conflict with violence. This is a central cause for the perpetuation of war and violence, as it prevents us from embracing conflict as a natural source of creativity and evolution. By acknowledging the emotional charge and mental barriers we all have regarding conflict, we can move beyond these and into an entirely new experience of conflict. By a shift in perspective and consciousness, the conflict itself reveals itself as a gateway to the new paradigm we all long for: Inner and Outer Peace.
