Interview
Fabienne, do you believe in world peace?
No, when I look at how history has repeated itself over the years, I think people collectively lack the self-reflection and leadership to achieve peace. If you're going to work on those elements, you have to spend a lot of time introspecting to make it a reality in your own life. There are only individuals who have followers, and they're fighting a losing battle. People are far too busy with themselves. In my radio interviews, I do see that young people need meaning, especially when it comes to issues like the environment, making the world a better place, and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
​
What is your vision of world peace?
I see many obstacles. Even if it's not about trade agreements on oil and the arms industry. It's much more about religion and respecting each other's cultures.
How do you think we can achieve peace?
If everyone tries to live as purely as possible. Everyone has the choice to shape their own leadership. Start with yourself. Don't do unto others what you would not have them do unto you.
Is achieving peace a priority for you?
Yes, if you learn to see and act from the perspective of quantum physics, you see how far your influence reaches. If you start with yourself, it suddenly becomes a different story.
​
Would you participate in a program that could help us achieve peace?
Absolutely.
If I asked you to be an ambassador for this concept, what role do you see yourself playing?
I can put you in touch with the right people, and we can do an interview.
How did you experience this interview?
Like a walk that led me to new insights. At the beginning, you asked me if I believe in world peace, and I said no. If you asked me that question again, I would give a different answer. This answer is synonymous with your training.
