The article discusses the paradox of peace in today's world, where substantial investments in defense technologies paradoxically focus on aggression as a solution. It questions whether true peace can arise from within through the understanding of our consciousness. Highlighting Thomas Metzinger's work at the University of Mainz, the article points to how the exploration of 'pure consciousness'âa state beyond habitual self-definitionsâmight provide profound insights into peace. His Minimal Phenomenal Experience Project compiles extensive reports on consciousness, offering a promising route to rethink human thought patterns in relation to global peace, rather than relying solely on arms and aggression.
The qualitative experience of pure consciousness is a source of deep peace, emerging before self-definitions arise, indicating a pathway to personal and global tranquility.
Psychological research can unveil new avenues for achieving world peace, challenging the assumptions that necessitate a massive arms industry for maintaining stability.
