And War Continues
A war in the world does not take part between particular countries. It takes part because there is war in your consciousness.
We are all responsible for wars. We are responsible for there being an oppressor, and the oppressed. We watch the TV screen and sympathize with those injured, those who no longer have basic human needs to survive, those who are killed, and we pray for them our of sorrow. In addition, we criticize and blame the oppressor as being terrible, and barbaric without accepting that they are us. Without accepting that the oppressed, out of defense, are also murdering human beings. We are happy to judge and divide the “good” and the “bad”, but we rarely accept looking at the “ugly”. That is, the ugly nature of how we all support a world that is divided.
Most of us are caught-up in our own self-centered behaviors, needs, wants, greed, ambition, never-ending seeking of something, caught in the trap of society and its ugly factory-line structure, which repeats itself in some way or another for generations upon generations. We create robots out of the fact that the creator is also a robot. If only we could sense the danger of what all of this “structure” and our blind acceptance of what it is doing to the world. If we could, we would see the immediate urgency of facing the ugliness of who we think we are and have become.
Your mindset is no different from the mindset of all of humanity. The actual content might be different, it might feel “localized” to your own life, but the psychology of one human being versus another is not. A person in Australia knows what it means to suffer, knows pain, despair, happiness, desire, sorrow, in the same way a person in Italy knows it. As such, so is the mindset of the countries at war – all convinced that fighting for one’s country is the right thing to do. We have convinced ourselves that it is a solution. And therefore, we blindly accept that our education includes passion for one’s country. And when the time comes, that passion, which is not passion at all, will be tested by your ability to murder another human being.
If we want to continue this way, then we will blindly continue to copy-paste the same mindset to future generations. In doing so, we can never change the world we live in. We can never be free of violence. We can never live in peace.
Love and Light,
