Collectively: no; individually: yes.

This planet for the time being is designed for us as a school to learn to deal with conflicts, so there might be a slight transformation through the ages –up's and down's- but basically it will continue to be this kind of school.

Text by Jael published in a newsletter of the International Interfaith Centre:

'Rest in Peace ...’ The present definition of peace I hold is ’understanding why everything is as it is and having the patience to work towards eternal felicity for all’, as I think that peace is a totally individual and active state of being.

This definition holds that ‘’Resting in Peace’ is an impossibility; the dream of ‘resting in peace’ is mixing up peace with eternal happiness. Eternal happiness is the situation when every particle in the cosmos is unified again in the Source or God.

As long as we all together have not achieved this situation there is no rest, not even in Nirwana or Paradise.

The tragic fact is that through the ages, past and to come, we all are fighting, together and apart, individual wars against our lusts, needs and greed's, for status, power and for more, keeping this planet a battlefield.

Only by coming to understand this, will we individually find peace, but not yet rest.
