Thoughts, responsibility and peace

About this conversation

Helmut Reinhardt talks with Lars Mährholz about turning the wish for peace into a more peaceful everyday life. A brief exchange about skydiving leads into public protest, time pressure and the influence of media. Mährholz explains why, after years of organising demonstrations, he became interested in psychology, nonviolent communication and conscious attention. Using examples from relationships and planning, he presents his view that mental images guide attention and can lead to decisions and action. He connects this practical argument with his personal understanding of love, Jesus and human connection. The final part explores conscious breathing, gratitude and responses to troubling thoughts. The interview shows how he now links peace work with personal learning, talks and workshops. His spiritual and political interpretations remain personal positions.
