Love, Fear, and War


The opposite of Love is not hate. It is fear.

As we hear about war, try not to give in to fear. Instead have Faith that all things are working as they should. Do not judge with mortal eyes the tragedies of war. For we know that, in the higher order of things, the earth is being purified of all hateful, fearful elements. Evil, and all those who practice it, must come to an end. The great mystic sage Lao Tzu said, "A violent man will die a violent death." And Jesus agreed: "Those who live by the sword will die by the sword."

Many dozens, even hundreds, of people are dissolving much negative karma, returning Souls to a state of grace. This whole world is evolving towards planetary unity and harmony. These catastrophes are the "birthpangs" of the rebirth of a planetary civilization, still in our future. So, please join us-- all people of peace-- in praying for Wisdom and swiftest resolution to the war. We have no control over the war. But we do have fullest control over our thoughts. We can choose what we want to contemplate, and regularly think about.

Let us vow to fill our minds with thoughts of Love, beauty, and peace. In this way, we can affect the entire planetary consciousness. This kind of regular thinking-- thoughts of heaven, bliss, justice, wisdom, tranquillity, and peace-- can and will heal our planet.

So as the media bombard us with fear and horror, focus firmly, immovably on Peace! Focus with diamond determination on Love! Focus on Light!

There is a battle within your psyche, and in the whole world, between the Mind of beauty and Love and the mind of hatred and fear. By the way that you choose to train your mind, by the thoughts on which you focus most of the time, you belong to one "army" or the other. No one is neutral in this cosmic conflict.

May Peace and Love be with you always! May the Absolute, the ultimate Reality of Love, protect and insulate you from all the frightening dreamimages of maya, or illusion. May Love awaken you from the "nightmare" of the lightshow, the hallucinations, of war!
