PEACE IS
"Peace is not absence of conflict, it is the ability to handle conflict by peaceful means." - Ronald Reagan
As I was thinking about conflicts during our time and what is “real,” it seems such a simple solution for us to reach an understanding that has been termed an “agreement to disagree.” We are not all cookie-cutter people having the exact same experiences and thus we will have differing perspectives and opinions. People engaging in conflict or violence due to differences in faith or beliefs appears illogical, especially when the concept of a deity advocates love. This behavior seems out of place in a modern society. It is archaic to take up arms against a group of people because you do not see eye-to-eye with them. Can’t we all catch up to the 21st century? No one can forcibly impose beliefs on another person. While we can present arguments, make a case, or share information, the choice to believe ultimately rests with the individual. Each person's beliefs hold their own truth, and there is no necessity for one to negate the truth of another. The notion that if one idea is true, the other must be false is also flawed. Two opposing ideas can both be valid, or they can both be invalid. What if we take the concepts of true and false off the table?
Dear Angels, one of the last and worst arguments I had with my ex involved gaslighting. He was trying to convince me that an incident was “true” and really happened, yet I knew in my heart and mind it had never happened. Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to sow self-doubt and confusion in the victim's mind. My personal scenario is on the micro level, whereas wars happen on the macro level.
Wars are often ignited when two factions clash,
Their beliefs at odds, in a fiery clash.
Each side convinced they know what’s right,
Their convictions are strong, and they’re ready to fight.
One sees the world through a different lens,
Their truth absolute, unwilling to bend.
Unable to see beyond their own view,
They rally their troops, their cause to pursue.
The other side, equally stubborn,
As their version of truth, they .reaffirm.
They cannot yield, for to them it's clear,
Their beliefs are right, their path sincere.
Wars are started, not by truth's divide,
But by the refusal, to see the other side.
If only we could pause, and negotiate,
Perhaps we'd see, love is greater than hate.
Dear Ones, you are all on earth with equal worth, and that also applies to what you come to understand as your truths or beliefs. When things get out of control, it is because you do not honor each other as equals. You can live peacefully among each other. There does not have to be a wrong to someone else’s right. You came into the world to more fully understand love. Love does not bully another or view them as less than. Love calls you to awaken to your true nature. It does not need to control or be right. It just loves and accepts, honoring every energetic being as it is. In Spirit, there is only love. That is why you feel so strongly opposed to conflicts. When you forget that you are all equal, the energy on your planet shifts and you may feel as if you are on the low end of a seesaw. The only thing that will bring it back into equilibrium is to come to an understanding of your equality. Just be you, Dear Ones, and you are pure love.
Dear Angels, thank you. I love you. Namaste, y’all.
Today, I promise to Accept, Align and Allow to keep peace in my world.
