Making Peace with the Consciousness of War

Throughout history, the notion of war has been deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of humanity. According to ancient lore, the fallen angels, known as the Ha-Satans or the adversaries of God, taught mankind the arts of warfare. These beings imparted the knowledge of weapon-making and the tactics of killing, transforming humanity’s interactions from peaceful coexistence to relentless conflict. This paradigm shift towards war has profoundly influenced our evolution, embedding a war mentality so deeply that it has become a conditioned response to perceived threats.
In ancient times, many tribes existed without the concept of warfare. These societies thrived in harmonious living, devoid of the instruments of death and destruction. Archaeological and anthropological evidence supports the existence of such communities like the Harappan Civilization, revealing a time when peace was the norm. However, the introduction of weapons and the ensuing conflicts marked a significant departure from this peaceful existence. The teachings of the Ha-Satans catalyzed a transformation that would shape human history for millennia.
Today, we live in an era where the language of war permeates every aspect of our lives. From geopolitical conflicts like the War on Iraq to societal issues such as the War on Drugs, the War on Cancer, and the War on COVID-19, we frame our challenges in terms of battle. This pervasive war mentality suggests that we are constantly engaged in combat, not just with external adversaries, but with our own internal struggles. We have internalized the notion of opposition so thoroughly that we see ourselves in a perpetual state of warfare.
One area where this war mentality is particularly evident is in our approach to disease. We speak of combating illness, fighting against, assaulting, and wiping out diseases. However, this aggressive language often overlooks the root causes of disease, which frequently lie in the mind and spirit. Disease, or "dis-ease," often begins with a state of mental or emotional imbalance. The great deceiver, known as the father of lies, thrives on this confusion and distortion, diverting our attention away from the true sources of our ailments.
Yeshua, known to many as Jesus, was a master healer who understood the importance of identifying the root causes of dis-ease. He recognized that true healing required addressing the underlying issues that caused division and discord among individuals. By healing the wounds at their source, he facilitated a natural process of restoration. Our bodies are inherently capable of healing themselves, just as our relationships and communities can heal when we address the root causes of our conflicts.
Nature itself is a testament to the power of self-healing. Ecosystems recover from disturbances, and living organisms regenerate. As part of nature, humans possess the same innate ability to heal. However, modern medicine often focuses on treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of illness. Doctors are trained to manage emergencies and alleviate immediate suffering, but true healing requires a deeper level of introspection and analysis. It involves asking profound questions about the origins of our ailments and understanding the spiritual and emotional pain that manifests as physical illness.
Religion, a natural inclination of humanity, often becomes a refuge in times of crisis. When faced with death or suffering, many turn back to God, seeking comfort and understanding. This tendency reveals our biological wiring for spirituality, reflecting our inherent nature as spiritual beings.
To achieve true healing, we must reconnect with our spirit and address the pain it harbors. Only by understanding the spiritual roots of our dis-ease can we begin to heal the physical manifestations in our bodies.
Making peace with the consciousness of war involves a fundamental shift in our perception. We must recognize that the true battle is not against external enemies, but against the internal conditioning that drives us to conflict. This realization is the first step towards healing. By acknowledging that our war mentality is a learned behavior, we can begin to unlearn it and cultivate a mindset rooted in peace and cooperation.
To achieve this transformation, we must embrace a new paradigm—one that values dialogue over confrontation, understanding over judgment, and empathy over enmity. Education plays a crucial role in this process. By teaching future generations the importance of peace and the skills needed for conflict resolution, we can break the cycle of violence that has persisted for centuries. Additionally, fostering environments that encourage collaboration and mutual respect can help dismantle the adversarial mindset.
Moreover, we need to reframe our language and metaphors. Instead of declaring war on societal issues, we should approach them as challenges to be understood and resolved through collective effort.
For instance, addressing pandemics requires global cooperation, scientific collaboration, and public health initiatives, rather than a militaristic approach. By changing the way we talk about these issues, we can shift our perspective and foster a more peaceful and productive approach.
Similarly, when addressing diseases, we should focus on understanding and addressing the root causes. This involves a holistic approach that considers mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being in addition to physical health. By recognizing that dis-ease often starts in the mind and spirit, we can develop more effective and compassionate strategies for healing.
In conclusion, making peace with the consciousness of war is a transformative journey that requires us to confront our deeply ingrained conditioning. By understanding the origins of our war mentality and recognizing it as a learned behavior, we can begin to unlearn it. Embracing peace, fostering cooperation, and reframing our challenges are essential steps towards creating a world where we are no longer at war with ourselves or each other. It is time to end the cycle of conflict and cultivate a consciousness rooted in harmony and mutual respect.
