7 Ancient Paths to Perfect The Modern World in Peace

Introduction: A World on the Brink

Peace? We could be standing at the brink of World War III.

We face armed conflict in over 100 places around the world. According to The Geneva Academy's 2023 report, the following regions are embroiled in war:

This whirlwind of violence indicates a highly imperfect world. How can we possibly perfect it in peace?.

Ancient Intelligence: The 7 Paths

We start with AI, but not the artificial kind. This AI stands for Ancient Intelligence. We turn to seven ancient prescriptions that predate even Abraham and the three Abrahamic religions he fathered: Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. These seven paths guide us in perfecting the world by first perfecting ourselves.

The Season of Renewal

Now is the perfect time to start, as this is the season of forgiveness and hope. The Almighty is closest to us, and we are closest to Him. Happy New Year! Happy New You! Happy New World!

The Book of Genesis marks this time as the season of Creation, celebrating the sixth day when humanity was born with Adam and Eve. Each year, we crown our Creator as King, accepting His sovereignty and allowing hope to spring eternal. New beginnings and the possibility of peace start within ourselves.

Lighting the World with Righteousness

Our inner spark can light up our neighbors, family, and friends, tipping the scales of good and evil towards more good. Darkness turns into light.

Do You Have to Be Religious?

No. Much of the world is religious, yet religion alone hasn’t brought peace. Tragically, some kill in the name of God, which surely cannot be righteous or what any God would want.

Traditional religions often come with drama and dogma. You don’t have to be religious to be righteous and just. New beginnings can be celebrated by people of any religion or none at all.

Do You Have to Believe in God?

Not exactly. Defining God is challenging. Many refer to a "Higher Power" or use names like The Almighty, The Force, Allah, Brahman, The Great Spirit, and more. It’s a power most of us have felt but few fully understand. Some call it karma or luck. How can we possibly understand The Infinite?

If we feel there is a Power Greater than ourselves, we should acknowledge this force.

The Seven Paths

Once we accept these truths, we find compassion for all human beings. The Book of Genesis states we are all created in the Divine image. Therefore:

  1. No Idolatry: Idolatry can take many forms, like addiction or the deification of money, fame, or fortune. Eliminate the negative.
  2. No Cursing God: Respect and honor this Force. Cursing a power greater than ourselves contradicts the idea that we are more important than The Almighty.
  3. No Murder: Respect ourselves and each other.
  4. No Illicit Relationships: Respect partners, neighbors, and boundaries.
  5. Don’t Steal: Do not take what isn’t ours.
  6. No Animal Torture: Extend the above values to animals too.
  7. Uphold Justice: Enforce these positive values with the rule of law.

These Seven Paths, known as the Seven Noahide Laws, have been known for over 4,000 years, dating back to Noah. Some say even Adam and Eve knew six of these laws.

A Universal Solution

These laws make sense to hundreds of thousands of 'Noahides' worldwide, and these communities are growing. There is no conflict between Noahides and Abrahamic or most other religions. It’s okay to believe in both and keep family traditions, as these laws do not cause conflict. In fact these universal principles are considered to be binding on all of humanity, regardless of their religious beliefs or cultural backgrounds.

Worldwide Noahide communities are know by various names, including Noahide Academy, Bnei Noah, Sons of Noah, Brit Clam, Noahide Code, 7 Noahide Laws, 7 Mitzvahs, and 7 Laws of Light. We are 7 Laws of Light on Twitter X @7noahidelaws.

Ending Wars and Conflicts

How do the Seven Laws of Noah solve wars and armed conflicts? Psalm 34:15 offers a solution:

“Shun evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it.”

Psalm 34 also addresses existing evil: “The face of the Lord is against evildoers, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.” (Psalm 34:17)

Wars and evil will end. Evildoers, those who violate the Seven Simple Laws of Noah, will be forgotten. Righteousness will remain:

“For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.” (Psalm 1:6)

“When the whirlwind passes, the wicked man is no more, but the righteous is the foundation of the world.” (Proverbs 10:25)

A Prophecy of Peace

A world of righteousness has been prophesied by the ancients. Isaiah 23 might say it best:

“His rule will increase and be blessed with peace without end.”

Our world perfected in righteousness and peace starts with you.
