The Fuji Declaration\u2019s most pivotal question is \u201cWhat is our true nature?\u201d\u00a0 The answer:\u00a0 we are loving, compassionate, wise, and joyful when we come alive through the divine spark in our spirit.\u00a0 For each one of us to know transcendent peace, there must be a personal transformation that brings about a new consciousness within us; a new way of thinking, a new way of being.\u00a0 From this new consciousness, our outward actions will naturally align with our true nature.<\/p>\n
We were created to love and be loved.\u00a0 The great spiritual traditions and religions of this world all recognize that love is our highest purpose.\u00a0 True love, love that is beyond our self, love that is unconditional, love that emanates from the divine spark within us is the energy that propels humanity forward.\u00a0 It is from this inexhaustible supply that we must look to fuel our evolution into a peaceful world.<\/p>\n
If our true nature is to be loving, it would seem that love would be an easy thing to realize.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, our ability to love tends to get lost in current society which is guided by a material consciousness.\u00a0 When we do not fully embrace the divine spark within us, our ability to love, to openly love one another, fades.\u00a0 We become attached to material concepts of rich and poor, right and wrong, justice and injustice, respect and disrespect, mercy and cruelty, and our perception of reality becomes distorted by a prejudiced consciousness.\u00a0 We fall astray from our true nature and we begin to look at the world through fear and our own personal constructs.\u00a0 We then seek to connect and ally with only those who align with our personal paradigms and create enemies out of those who do not.<\/p>\n
Our ability to connect is possibly our most treasured characteristic.\u00a0 Our desire to interact and interconnect with others is a deep seeded natural tendency.\u00a0 This is why we have so many social networks.\u00a0 We crave connection. In this age of material consciousness, however, we seek to establish connections through the easiest of avenues:\u00a0 commonality.\u00a0 We look for others that have material paradigms and constructs that are common to our own.\u00a0 We can break this cycle and use our ability to connect to create positive change.\u00a0 Once we return to our true nature, living as openly loving beings through the divine spark within us, our perceptions and paradigms change radically.\u00a0 From there, we can truly connect with one another through love.<\/p>\n
Once we embrace the divine spark in our hearts, we no longer seek superficial connection based on material paradigms.\u00a0 Our connections become based on true love for those around us.\u00a0 Our human moral constructs, right\/wrong, justice\/injustice, fall away and we are left with a new one rooted in love for everyone, not just a select few.\u00a0 Through love, we welcome diversity and truly recognize that we are all one.\u00a0 We become alive with love, return to our true nature,\u00a0 and peace naturally emerges.<\/p>\n
