Peacefulness
Seven Core Values • Emotional-Spiritual Harmony • Correcting Time • Morontia Maturity • Social Sustainability

Definition:
Peacefulness is the inner state of calm, harmony, and spiritual groundedness that arises when a person lives in alignment with truth, divine values, emotional balance, and the presence of the Thought Adjuster.
In the teachings of the Correcting Time, Daniel Raphael, and Machiventa Melchizedek, peacefulness is far more than the absence of conflict—it is a positive, radiant condition of the soul, expressing trust in God, stability in character, compassion for others, and a willingness to live cooperatively and lovingly.

Peacefulness radiates outward to others and contributes to social harmony, family stability, and community well-being.
