Public Work
Encounter the work in the form that meets you.
Ideas and lived inquiry take different forms — writing, speaking, sound, and conversation. This page offers passages into each. You are invited to enter through the form that speaks to you.
Five forms. One inquiry.
Eric Anthony Jones, known publicly as Ruler In Peace™, explores one human inquiry through five forms of public work. They are books and writing; speaking and keynotes; music and Scrolls of Sound™; media and conversations; and Machine Minds™. Each offers a different doorway into how we live, choose, relate, contribute, and remain capable of peace.
I. Books & Writing
Ideas that take form in language.
The written body of the work. Books, essays, reflections, field writing, and substantial intellectual work developed over years of study, dialogue, and practice.
Language remains the primary vessel — the place where inquiry becomes structure, and structure becomes something a reader can hold, return to, and think with.

Eric Anthony Jones in Stated Principles, Issue No. 005
In Stated Principles Issue No. 005, published in July 2026, Eric Anthony Jones, known publicly as Ruler In Peace™, sets out five principles under the title “Peace Must Become a Practice Before It Can Become a Promise.” At its centre is a balance he returns to throughout: “Context without accountability becomes excuse. Accountability without context becomes distortion.”
II. Speaking & Teaching
Inquiry expressed aloud.
Keynotes, conferences, workshops, teaching, public presentations, and selected appearances across fields related to human development, peace, leadership, and human sustainability.
When ideas are spoken, they meet the room. The cadence changes. The listener becomes part of the thinking. This is the work in its living, unrepeatable form.

Upcoming · 5–8 December 2026
Eric Anthony Jones at the 12th International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action (ICPNA 2026)
The 12th International Conference on Peace and Nonviolent Action, organized by Anuvibha, takes place 5–8 December 2026 in Ladnun, Rajasthan, India, on the theme “Nonviolence (Ahimsa): A Global Imperative of Sustainable Peace.” Eric Anthony Jones, known publicly as Ruler In Peace™, presents the plenary “REMAIN CAPABLE: Human Authority and the Capacities Required for a Nonviolent Future.” His separate workshop proposal, “FROM REACTIVITY TO DIALOGUE: Practicing the Human Capacities that Sustain Peace,” has also been accepted.
III. Music & Sound
The work expressed through sound.
Music, Scrolls of Sound™, spoken-word and audio work, and other creative expression through sound.
In Eric’s words: “Scrolls of Sound™ brings together my MusicPeaces™—songs and immersive instrumentals from my heART, inviting you to Know Thyself, Seize the Day, and nourish your soul through Soul Food Music.”
Some inquiries do not want to be read. They want to be heard. Sound carries meaning that language alone cannot hold — tone, breath, resonance, silence between.
Status
Explore songs and immersive instrumentals from my heART. Begin with the music that meets you where you are.
IV. Media & Conversations
Dialogue in public form.
Interviews, podcasts, recorded conversations, media appearances, and public dialogue.
Ideas sharpen in conversation. What can be said alone becomes something else when a second mind enters the room. These are those meetings, preserved.

Fashion Forward, an invitation-only cultural community founded by Jordana Guimarães and Christopher Hunt, welcomed Eric Anthony Jones, known publicly as Ruler In Peace™, as one of its Founding Voices and features him in Fashion Forward Journal Issue 10, “Founding Voices.” Its introduction places his work at the meeting point of leadership, peacebuilding and human flourishing, and his view of peace as a discipline.
V. MACHINE MINDS™
THE HUMAN SIDE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Machine Minds™ is a Ruler In Peace™ media and research property exploring what happens to human identity, dignity, agency, creativity, work, relationships, judgment and authority as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly capable.
The inquiry begins from the human side of the relationship — not primarily explaining machines, but bringing the human being into the AI conversation.
"AI is both a tool in the investigation and a subject of the investigation."
Machine Minds began earlier as a platform for conversations with people working in artificial intelligence. The project went quiet, but the inquiry continued. As AI became increasingly integrated into lived working and creative life, questions around human authority, identity, trust, creativity, and work became more consequential.
Returning soon
Machine Minds™ is Returning.
The investigation is already underway. A dedicated space now holds the developing work: field notes, case files, conversations, research, and essays.
The work continues. The forms evolve. The inquiry remains constant.
These five expressions of public work — books, speaking, sound, conversation, and inquiry into artificial intelligence — are part of a larger body of work into human development, human capacity, dignity, truthfulness, and peace. If you are called to deepen or enter this practice directly, other passages await.
A multi-country lived inquiry into human capacity, dignity, and peace.
A phone-free start, hydration, sit and breathe, spiritual alignment, and movement for human capacity.
You belong in this inquiry.
