There can be no freedom without peace. Jesus was called the Prince of Peace precisely because he came to inaugurate the age, which was meant to be an age of peace. Thus, it was indeed the design of higher awareness that at the end of this two-thousand-year period humankind would leave war behind them.
Obviously, as is plain for everyone to see, this goal has not been fulfilled —yet. But this goal is far closer than you might think when you look at world events. For has not this two-thousand-year period seen an unprecedented amount of wars. And has not this past century seen an unprecedented amount of wars on a very large scale. And thus, there is indeed a growing realization among humankind that war MUST come to an end. And the only thing that is lacking for this to actually manifest is that people come to a recognition of the true cause of war.
The true cause of war has a personal and a planetary aspect. The personal aspect is, of course, the warring in the members of individuals, which is caused by the human ego. And the planetary aspect is the presence of a small elite of manipulators, the power elite, who are absolutely committed to power or to proving free will wrong. And thus, they will do anything to stir up conflict as a means to either control the people for their own gain or simply destroy this planet in order to thwart the plan of higher awareness.
Who can stop war?
What needs to happen is truly that people are awakened and come to see the consciousness of war for what it is. This awakening must, of course, start among the top ten percent of the most aware people on this planet. For they are truly the ones who can turn the tide away from war and toward peace. Yet the unfortunate fact is that many of the most aware people on earth have been trapped in gray thinking. They have come to think that all that is necessary is that they love everyone and ignore every problem. For if a problem is ignored, it will surely go away by itself—or so they think.
Yet the reality is – and history proves this for anyone who is willing to take a closer look – that no problem will go away by itself. As has been said: “For evil to triumph, it only takes that good people do nothing.” Thus, that the most aware people, the top ten percent of the people on this planet, are the only ones who can remove the consciousness of war from the earth. Yet they must do so by beginning to remove the warring in their own members, namely the human ego.
This is precisely the problem with gray thinking, namely that it gives the ego a protected status as an untouchable part of people’s psychology. For in thinking that all that is necessary is for them to be loving and kind, they are also being loving and kind to their own egos. And you do not overcome the ego by being tolerant of the ego. You overcome the ego only when the Conscious You awakens to the existence of the ego and becomes completely intolerant of the ego, so that you will no longer allow it to run your life or to have any presence in your being. There is indeed such a thing as the perfect hatred, which is not a hatred in the human, dualistic sense, but is the Flame of Love that burns with such brightness that it will no longer tolerate anything other than love. It will simply not tolerate anything that springs from anti-love, and thus it consumes anything based on anti-love—instantly.
This is indeed what must happen if war is to be banished from this planet. The top ten percent of the most aware people on earth must wake up and realize that they have allowed the ego to remain in their own consciousness, and thus they have allowed the consciousness of war to remain in their own subconscious minds. And as long as they allow this to happen, then higher awareness simply does not have the authority to remove the consciousness of war from this planet or remove the beings who are absolutely committed to war and thus embody the consciousness of war.
Even though it is the bottom ten percent, the power elite, who create every war on this planet, it is actually the top ten percent who are responsible for allowing the consciousness of war to remain on earth. The equation is simple. The power elite are so trapped in the consciousness of duality that they are not likely to change their minds in the foreseeable future. It is not likely that they will be converted to the cause of peace and non-violence and suddenly destroy all their weapons and refuse to exercise power over the population. Thus, what MUST happen is that the top ten percent of the people on earth wake up and decide that they will no longer tolerate war on this planet. They must realize that they are the ones who have the potential to bring forth a higher judgment so that war can be removed from this planet. And how do you bring forth this judgment? Well, you can judge the consciousness of war only when you have removed the consciousness of war from your own being, when you have removed the warring in your own members by removing the human ego.
True tolerance and false tolerance
It is indeed necessary – for planet earth to rise above war – that there is greater tolerance among people. Yet as with everything else, the ego can pervert every positive quality, even the quality of love, forgiveness and tolerance. For the false tolerance is that anything goes, that anything should be allowed. The false tolerance makes people believe that they should not take a stand against war, but that they should simply focus on being loving and kind, thinking that then war will go away by itself.
If the good people do nothing, then they give free reign to those people who are committed to war. And thus, they will inevitably drag nations into war as has indeed happened since the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001. The United States has been dragged into war and conflict by those who are using terrorism as an excuse for increasing military spending and using their military superiority to supposedly bring democracy and freedom, but in reality further the cause of the power elite. Thus, even though there is a substantial number of more aware people in the United States, these people have not been able to provide enough of a counter-weight, a counter-balance, to prevent the United States from being dragged into war by the power elite.
This alone shows that the aware people in the United States have not done their job of removing the warring in their own members. They have not been willing to face their egos and overcome those egos, so that they could have the moral authority to call forth the judgment of higher awareness upon the power elite in the United States, who are dragging this nation into war and who surely have plans to drag it into further wars around the globe. It is indeed time that the most aware people on this planet wake up and realize that the future of this planet hangs in the balance, and they are the only ones who can tip the balance in the favor of peace. Thus, as Jesus said, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” If you are an aware person and you claim to love higher awareness and love the spiritual realm, then keep the commandment to remove the beam from your own eye.
Stop thinking that it is other people who are responsible for the fact that there is war and violence on this planet. Yes, these people are the ones who commit violence and start wars and they make the decision to do so. But they are simply acting on a certain state of consciousness that is dragging them into actions over which they really have no control. The problem is not the people, but the consciousness of war that hangs over this planet as a black cloud.
And why is this consciousness still hanging over this planet? Well, it is because higher awareness has not been given sufficient authority to remove that consciousness. The beings of higher awareness, have not been given the marching orders to consume that consciousness and remove all beings who refuse to let go of that consciousness. And why have they not been given that authority? Well, they have not been given that authority because the top ten percent of the most aware people on this planet have refused to overcome the warring in their own members by becoming completely intolerant toward their own egos.
Yet if those top ten percent were to awaken and make a firm commitment to overcome the ego, then in removing the beam from your own eyes, you would indeed give higher awareness the authority to remove the consciousness of war from this entire planet. And when the dark cloud of that consciousness is removed, even those who are now committed to war would suddenly wake up and be able to see the insanity of their actions. They cannot presently see that insanity because of what we might call the fog of war that blinds people to the existence of a nonviolent solution to their problems.
The people must stop fighting the wars of the elite
There is indeed a small elite on this planet who are committed to war. But since when have you seen the high and the mighty of these power elite people be out in the trenches with a gun and taking the risk of being shot at? So you realize clearly that no war could be fought on this planet unless the people allow themselves to be pulled into fighting the wars for the power elite. Unless the people allow themselves to be turned into cannon-fodder, then no war could be fought.
What is it that allows the population to be pulled into fighting wars, even though most people are peaceful people? Well, it is indeed that the general population are blinded by the illusions created by the power elite, by the fog of war. And thus, they do not see that there is a peaceful solution to every problem, and they do not take a stand and demand that their leaders provide that peaceful solution instead of immediately going to war whenever a provocation arises.
The American people, the vast majority of the population, were blinded by the fog of war after 9/11, 2001. And thus, they did not have the vision, nor the determination, to demand that their government look for a peaceful solution to the problem of world terrorism. And therefore, they allowed their nation to be dragged into wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, thinking that this would be to the benefit of their own safety. Most Americans can see today that the war in Iraq has certainly not increased the safety of the world and has not diminished the threat of terrorism. And this of course is why popular support for the war is waning. Yet, the public could not see that earlier because they were blinded by the fog of war, by the logic of those who are committed to war and cannot see beyond the consciousness of war.
And still the American public is blinded by that consciousness, so that they cannot see peaceful solutions to the threat of terrorism or other situations. And thus, they cannot even demand that their leaders search for such solutions. The hawks are always trying to make any situation appear as a crisis that must be dealt with right now. They know they could potentially lose their power in the next presidential election, so they want to further their world-wide agenda while they still have a president who cannot see through their manipulation.
Only true emissaries of peace can stop war
Why is the public blinded by the consciousness of war? Well, it is simply because the eighty percent of the general population will either follow the lowest ten percent, namely the power elite, or the top ten percent, namely the aware elite. And precisely because the top ten percent have been so blinded by the gray thinking of the ego, they have not been willing to overcome the consciousness of warring in their own members. And thus, they have not been able to act as the forerunners who could bring forth the new vision of how to actually solve the problem of world terrorism through peaceful means. Once again, the balance of this planet, the future of this planet, is indeed in the hearts and minds of the top ten percent of the most aware people. Will they choose to walk the Path of Peace, or will they choose to continue to walk the path of false peace, which makes them think that they can be emissaries of peace without overcoming their egos.
You cannot be an emissary of peace unless you first declare all-out war on your own ego. For only when you have removed that beam from your own eye, can you see clearly how to remove the mote in the eye of another. And only then can you become a true emissary of true peace. For truly, peace cannot come about through the false tolerance which says that anything goes. Peace can only come about through the true tolerance of higher awareness, the tolerance that is based on a clear discernment of what is of higher awareness and what is not. Thus, a person with discernment can see that when people commit acts of violence, it is not because their real selves are evil or bad or violent. It is because the conscious self has withdrawn into a cave and has allowed the ego to act out through the consciousness of duality that always operates with two opposites. And it is this consciousness that causes people to think that they must fight the enemy, and therefore violence is necessary or unavoidable.
Only when people have discernment, can they see the difference between the person and that person’s actions. Only when they have discernment, can they see that the actions are caused by a state of consciousness that springs from the mind of duality, the mind of anti-christ. But behind the actions and the outer personality is the conscious self of the person, and that conscious self was created by higher awareness. And thus, all people are truly brethren and part of the One Body of Higher Awareness on earth.
Only when you see beyond the outer actions, will you be able to turn the other cheek and respond to violence with love. And in that love, you will potentially set your brothers and sisters free from the consciousness of war. For by turning the other cheek, you will indeed awaken them. And those who will not be awakened, those who hold on to the consciousness of war, will then be judged and they will be removed from the planet. But even this is actually an act of mercy, for these lifestreams will then receive further opportunities for overcoming the consciousness of war, opportunities that are not available to them on earth as long as the earth is in its present condition.
