“Peace is so important because it is what your world so badly needs. But peace will never come unless it comes first from within, from alignment with your divine nature. Until a certain number of people or percentage of the population is aligned with peace or at least desires peace, it will not arrive. This desire to align with peace is a desire to join with your true nature, which would have nothing but peace.
When you or a number of people choose peace over conflict, anger, revenge, and fear, that is a very good sign, because that is, in fact, what you choose peace over. You cannot have your anger, you cannot have your fear, you cannot have your revenge and have peace. There is either the potential for peace or the potential for fear, anger, and hatred. These are two very different states of consciousness.
These different states of consciousness are evident in your world. There are some who are very aligned with divine will and divine order and with the qualities of the divine self, but the majority of human beings are not. They are caught in their fear, anger, and hatred.
There is no possibility for peace in the outer world when the inner world is not peaceful. The work of creating peace on this planet is an inside job, as you say. It starts with you and your own peace of mind, which is an interesting phrase since the mind is the last thing to produce peace.
It is by moving out of the mind that you can discover peace because peace is not a concept. Peace doesn’t come from an intellectual understanding. It comes 
from moving out of all thoughts to just being, to aligning with the divine self, which is an experience of being and accepting, of loving and allowing and exploring. This being that you are is naturally at peace because it loves all of life, so how could your being be at war with life? If you love all of life, you can’t be at war with any aspect of it.”
