More and more I’m believing that the way to no more arguments, up to and including wars, is to be the one to agree first. I'm guessing that the biggest impediment to our willingness to agree first is our projecting the final worst-case result. Which, of course, is fear of looking like a loser.
I say "looking like" because in God's world, there are no losers. And there it is. That is the concept we must needs grasp, or we'll live at war forever.
In growing spiritually, we learn to distrust the reasoning mind for, led by ego, it will always legislate for itself. Those who have made the decision to seek still more spiritual growth are learning to legislate for others...we are learning to give over, or just get over ourselves actually.
We learn to keep our imagination reined in to our Self...right now...in this moment. This is the only place God is to us...within us now, this instant.
Same goes with Putin/Obama right this minute. Ditto our friend/sibling/parent/spouse /boss/co-worker who may or may not be giving our ego fits. God's got it...God cannot not "got" it.
According to me, that is the way to no more wars. Each of us learns to turn within and humbly ask for the knowledge to do our higher power’s will, whatever that may be, then be ready to accept that it will not be to our ego’s liking or for our ego’s benefit. It will always be for the benefit of another...seemingly.
It is by the sense of joy we experience when we give over to another that we understand that God is always on our side. With God, we are never left out. That's what makes ego deflation in depth painless in the end...and chances are the ego, being self-centered in the extreme, will think it's done good and won't even know it's been had!
God loves us so much.
Thank you.
