ARTelevision is right. The peace you seek is already within you. Consider the few precious moments during which you have total clarity. The rare times when it seems all the stars have aligned and all is right in the world. The moments you felt the hand of God upon you. The vision you had of your oneness with the universe.
"There are many paths to the top of Mt. Fuji, but there is only one summit."
Those moments, whatever your belief system, are what you're trying to achieve with enlightenment/awakening. When the bad stuff comes, embrace it, try to find out where it's coming from and understand it. That way you can better handle it in the future or prevent it all together. When the good stuff comes, embrace it, try to find out where it's coming from and understand it. That way you can help to bring it about again in yourself and others.
