Winning the War for Peace … ( 09 / 17 / 2013 )
“ One can acquire everything in solitude except genuine Character , real Love & true Happiness .” ~ inspired by Stendhal
I know how tempting it is to get distracted by all the international intrigue and violent melodrama that ’ s been filling our newsfeeds of late … And I know that it IS indeed truly important to “ become informed ” – to then be better able to stand up to the injustices we see manifesting themselves in our world at large .
That having been said , there is another war that has been raging for a lot longer than the current crisis in Syria . Indeed , it is a conflict that has been playing itself out on each and every doorstep of every homestead in every community all around the world , and it is a battle that has been violently waged in every Heart of every human being on Earth … It has been raging since the dawn of time , and up until recently it has shown little signs of waning in either scope or intensity .
You see , the war of which I speak is not being fought on the material plane at all . It has very little to do with guns or bombs or “ national security ”, and even less to do with money or power or influence … No , the battle to which I refer — the war that is now so ripe for the winning — is being fought between the Hearts and the minds of every human being on this planet .
It is a war between pride & Humility … It is a war between judgment and Forgiveness … It is a war between greed and Giving … It is war between apathy and Compassion … Essentially , it is a war between fear and LOVE .
Up until a few years ago , pride and judgment and greed and apathy were literally smothering the Forces of LOVE . Up until recently the “ forces of evil ” were poised on the verge of a dark & shadowed victory — just a few crushing blows away from sending Goodness scampering into eternal hiding and Humanity spiraling downward towards its own extinction .
AND YET recently I have noticed a shift in the balance of Power … I have felt a change in the weather of Humanity ’ s collective Soul . I have sensed that this war might actually be coming to an end ; that the latent Goodness of Humanity might indeed turn the tide and finally win the day .
