Emotion: Peace -I am – I am whole, complete, total unto my Self. Everyone and everything is part of my Self. It is all perfect.
According to the law of cause and effect:
Thought (cause) = Emotion (effect)/ Emotion (cause) = Action (effect)
Thinking:
All is well; Everything is unfolding as it should; I am; It’s just perfect; We are one
Acting
actionless; balanced; cenetered; composed; connection; flawless; imperturbable; in equilibrium; infinite; limitless; perfection; poised; quiet; self-possessed; serenity; spacious; stillness; tranquil; unlimited; whole; witnessing
Remember the acronym AGFLAP-CAP:
Apathy/ Grief/ Fear/ Lust/ Anger/ Pride - Courageousness/ Acceptance/ Peace
and monitor how you shift on the scale of action. After the AGFLAP reactive cycle, CAP brings you to the proactive behavior. Often we mix Apathy with Acceptance, Anger with Courageousness and Pride with Peace.
How can you bring peace within? What are you strategies to remain at peace when others are in conflict (with self or others)? Do you know how to be actionless?
Wu Wei (wúwéi) is an important Daoist concept. It means knowing when to act, taking a natural action, and it can be compared with effortless doing – as trees grow or planets revolve around sun. This action does not have emotion or thought as a trigger, it is natural.
(Wikipedia quote): Wu may be translated as not have or without; Wei may be translated as do, act, serve as, govern or effort. The literal meaning of Wu Wei is “without action” and is often included in the paradox wei wu wei: “action without action” or “effortless doing”. The practice of wu wei and the efficacy of wei wu wei are fundamental tenets in Chinese thought and have been mostly emphasized by the Taoist school. The aim of wu wei is to achieve a state of perfect equilibrium, or alignment with the Tao, and, as a result, obtain an irresistible form of “soft and invisible” power.
There is another less commonly referenced sense of wu wei; “action that does not involve struggle or excessive effort”. In this instance, Wu means “without” and Wei means “effort”. The concept of “effortless action” is a part of Taoist Internal martial arts such as T’ai chi ch’uan, Baguazhang and Xing Yi. It follows that Wu wei complies with the main feature and distinguishing characteristic of Taoism, that of being natural. To apply wu wei to any situation is to take natural action.
