Ilchi Lee says that creating life dreams involving world peace requires nations of the world to work together toward harmonious ends. Currently, competition among various states leads to dissent and conflict. This is very counter-productive when it comes to world peace.
However, some countries are beginning to work together toward peaceful ends. For example, representatives from the governments of Germany and Taiwan are coordinating an international event that will symbolize both regions' moves toward peace, Focus Taiwan News Channel reports.
In Germany, officials from the Taiwan Representative Office will ring a bell on August 23 in an event associated with peace and prosperity. Meanwhile, in Kinmen County, Taiwan, representatives will unveil a newly constructed peace bell that was formed out of discarded artillery shells.
The news source reports that officials believe the events will symbolize the movement from conflict and war to peace and harmony for everyone. The coordination of the bell ceremonies will underscore the lengths to which the world has come in eliminating conflict from many parts of the planet.
Events such as these also go to show what can happen when the nations of the world follow Lee's roadmap for ending conflict. He says that world peace day will only come when states across the Earth work together to resolve their conflicts.
Lee refers to this concept as the Earth Citizen movement. Before identifying with any national, religious or ethnic group, individuals will first say that they are citizens of the world. Their first goal will be to spread peace among their compatriots, regardless of their skin color or nationality. When more people begin accepting this approach, the world may have peace.
