More and more I am believing that the way to no more wars is to be the one who first agrees. The biggest impediment to our willingness to agree first is our reasoning mind will invariably project the final worst-case result, e.g., Chamberlain appeases/London is blitzed or, worse, I agree/you win.
The secret is that if we each learn to live in agreement, it cannot come to blitzing or worse.
The secret is that if we each learn to live in agreement, it cannot come to blitzing or worse.
If we are to grow spiritually, we will learn to think small...to project smaller...not out there to worst-case, but in here to best-case. We begin to distrust the reasoning mind for, led by ego, it will always legislate for itself and to our regret...the spiritual mind legislates for others and to our benefit.
We learn to keep our imagination reined in to our own self, to right now in this moment for this is the only place God is to me...within me right now, this instant. Same goes with Putin/Obama right this minute, right where they each are wherever that may be. Ditto our friend, our brother/sister/parent, our spouse/partner, boss/co-worker, each or any one of whom may be giving our ego fits right this minute. Agree with your adversary quickly.
That's why coming to believe is so important...without a belief in a power greater than ourselves, we must rely on our reasoning mind to protect us. It will ever seek "me first" even when it is beneficial to give over.
So the way to no more wars, according to me: We each turn within and humbly ask for the knowledge to do our higher power’s will, whatever that may be, fully understanding that it will not be to our ego’s liking or for our ego’s benefit. It will always be for the benefit of the other...seemingly.
God is available within each of us right now whether or not we believe it...so why not come to believe?
Thank you.
