Our body and mind are connected. We have control over our bodies with our minds on many different levels, including, our psychological and physical states. Our bodies are not mindless machines but they are "...infused with the deep intelligence of life, whose sole purpose is to sustain you." states Chopra in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind. Futhermore, we are connected to all, there is no separateness. When we think in these terms war cannot exist. Chopra explains that, "In harmony there is no violence."
In my opinion, when I think in terms of connectedness to all, I feel more love toward all. When I see myself as one with friends, family and strangers, I can begin to have compassion for their way of doing things that are different from mine. Knowing that we are going through different yet similar experiences I can understand that they are living their life just like I am living mine. How can I be angry or upset with anyone for doing the same thing that I'm doing? They just have a different interpretation and perception than I do. I may not understand because I haven't been through what someone else has gone through but I can be compassionate for the human experience shared amongst all. In this way, I can be more compassionate to all that I am connected with, which just happens to be all that surrounds me.
