A crack is a line on the surface of something along which it has split without breaking into separate parts, like that crack in your car’s front windshield or in that old pair of glasses that you still keep around for some reason (just in case). In your social world this kind of crack comes about when your actions or inaction changes the quality and strength of the bond between you and a family member, friend, co-worker, supervisor, employer, or other individual or group. It is the kind of crack that weakens but does not break relationships. But it does make those relationships easier-to-break. The quality of the negative energy that emanates from this kind of crack leaves legacies like, we still did things together but it just wasn’t the same after I (he, she, they)…
Crack(s) can also refer to the narrow space(s) between two surfaces that have broken, been separated, or otherwise moved apart from each other. In the Handbook Dr. M. shared his experience of seeing a single blade of grass growing in the crack of a boulder when he stopped to tie his shoe. A blade of grass is not the only thing that can grow and come out of a crack of this kind. Just think for a moment of what can happen if you get this kind of crack (separation) in your skin. Bad stuff can get into your body and poison you, even take your life. More times then not you know when you have created this kind of crack in your social world because you find yourself wondering if it will ever heal, if the offended party will ever forgive you, if they hate you, are they angry enough to want to get back at you, and all of the other thoughts that your imagination can conceive. This kind of crack produces a narrow space or separation between your Energy Signature and in the Quantum Entity you share with the person or persons affected by your choice(s). In other words, there is hope that the pieces can be mended back together like a once broken vase.
An intended or unintended gesture, a word spoken in the wrong tone or at the wrong time, an action taken without a thought as to the possible consequences, sometimes even something done with the best of intentions can produce a crack that breaches the barrier between you and the Door of Misfortune. This is why the Enia allowed Dr. M’s discussions with U about the quantum nature of reality to be published in the Handbook. Everyone needs to understand the profound power of our thoughts, words, and actions. Our choices create our reality!
A crack is also a sudden sharp or explosive noise like the crack of thunder that not only reaches your ears but also makes your body vibrate right down to your bones. It is most important that we get the Ti-Enia to understand the power of their tongue. What comes from their mouths is more powerful and potentially damaging than anything that Shango has manifested in the sky. (Spoken by one of the Olukoni Enia, the Teacher People). A sudden harshness or change in the pitch of your voice can cause your words to penetrate so deeply into a person that their vibrations will resonate in that person's Energy Signature for days, weeks, months, years, even decades. A critical or unkind joke intended to provide laughter for some might indeed cause significant damage to another. This is why Dr. M. talks about racism, sexism, classism, and all forms of prejudice and discrimination among the Ti-Enia. These are cracks in the barrier between the worlds.
The message of the Handbook is that we must live our lives mindfully, paying close attention to how our individual and collective choices affect the people around us, and the environments we share. A crack in your window not only lets in the outside air. It also allows your controlled atmosphere to dissipate into the outer environment. The crack also allows insects to enter into your private spaces and the weather to damage the things that you cherish. So why be careless or uncaring and create cracks in your own Energy Signature and in the Quantum Entities that you create and share as you go about your daily interactions with those with whom you share the world? Why make choices that create cracks in the barrier that separates the worlds and invite misfortune into your life? Why do that?
No doubt we are all guilty of creating cracks and have already experienced some of the Predictable and Unpredictable Negative Consequences of our choices. If you want to Create Peaceful Space and make the kind of difference in our world that Dr. M. and the Enia talk about in the Handbook than Step 1 is to determine to stop making choices that create avoidable cracks. Step 2 is to seal the cracks that you have already created, like making a stained-glass window. The Handbook provides you with an understanding of human nature and you can use that knowledge to begin the process of healing old wounds where possible and rising above guilt where necessary so that you can achieve Peaceful Space within yourself. From that vantage point you can Create Peaceful Space with others.

Abundant thanks for addressing a very timely subject on Creating a Peaceful Space for ourselves and others by being aware of the profound power of our thoughts, words, and actions. I find that my Choices in these areas can truly create my Reality. For instance, as a student, I find that I can Create a Positive, Peaceful collegiate learning environment by sustaining a healthy self-esteem, respect, compassion for others, and classroom ethics. As to the latter, I believe the classroom of the 21st century has an unprecedented opportunity to evolve into a Positive forum to explore the Commonness of our humanity and how it is best embraced rather than a breach between humanity and the Door of Misfortune as Dr. M brings to light in the Handbook. As such, I think that it is essential to embrace the tensions that drive conflict in the world today, and to understand its dynamics as the cornerstone of our commitment to promote a Peaceful Space.
In consideration of the Steps 1 and 2 to prevent and seal Cracks, I think that it is important as a Peacekeeper and Peacemaker (instead of a ‘Crack maker’) to be (1) more altruistic than egoistic, (2) willing to take risks for peace, (3) be relationship oriented and humanistic, (4)self-motivated and motivator of others, (5) alert, strong, and positive, (6) self-rewarding with low need for praise, (7) an advocate for the vulnerable and disempowered, (8) an optimist who sees the best in people, and (9) an highly enthusiastic advocate of the Peaceful Project, with a personal understanding and commitment to it.
Many thanks for this enlightening and informative blog!
