The War on Terror - A SHAM - stomping on shadows
The War on Terror (NOT) - stomping on shadows to make them go away
The phrase “war on terror” is an empty statement that actually creates what it portends to be against. As such it will not lead to a solution; it does not represent an executable plan that would achieve anything of value. It perpetuates Illusion and results in misperception. It is also an irrational statement, propaganda designed to manipulate and actually instill the fear it that is pretends to be against. This phrase is the device of a terrorist, and in it’s use we do their bidding.
Terror has no mind and no will it has no body it does not act and cannot be acted upon. Therefore one cannot have a war on terror. “War on Terror” is a sham statement. Terror meaning intense fear cannot be destroyed because it exists in the mind of individuals and is intangible. Only the source of the fear which is born of ignorance supported by events, spoken intentions and pending consequences resulting from the actions of some, can be eliminated. That which gives rise to the fear needs to be addressed and more specifically the illusions, and ignorance that gives rise to it. Be it scarcity, oppression, control, and loss of freedom. It is the fear in the minds of the so called terrorists that needs to be addressed. It is the anger born of pain and suffering that leads to violence. The terrorists do not need to be destroyed; it is the perceptions in their mind that result in their actions that need to be addressed. If these perceptions and fears are not eliminated new bodies will come to host them. There will be no end to terrorism. It is conflict that results in destructive actions. We need conflict resolution.
Since it is the fear, anger or pain in the minds of the terrorists that is the enemy and it cannot be touched or seen then one cannot go to war against it.
It is the fear in the minds of those who appear to be the enemy that is our target. It is the dissolution of this fear that shall be the object of our intention.
Let truth and compassion be the way and let gravity and not force be the impetus for change. This is not to say we should not apprehend those that are a physical threat, but if we do nothing to eliminate the source of their creation there will be an endless supply.
It is the fear in our minds that is made manifest in the minds of those who might become our enemy.
The proper name for this project should be along the lines of the “Conflict Resolution Movement” or “Peace Propagation Effort” or Perhaps “The Peace Establishment” or “Researching a common understanding” or The Empathetic Revolution. Not the “War on Terror”.
There is nothing to war against; it is all about communication, understanding and eliminating the illusions that result in false thinking, leading to negative emotions and erroneous and destructive actions.
SHAM
1. Something false or empty that is purported to be genuine; a spurious imitation.
2. The quality of deceitfulness; empty pretense.
3. One who assumes a false character; an impostor
If one were wishing to engage the light of the sun so their skin would produce vitamin D, that they may avoid lethal cancers later in life, they would dismay if by the movement of the sun they found themselves in the shadow of the tree. Would it make sense to stomp on the shadow and curse the tree? Was it not that the sun itself that moved. So why is it that we do this? Why not simply move into the light and bless the tree? If we were in the heat of the desert would we curse the sun and tell it to flee or would we find the shade of a fig tree?
Do not embrace their Illusions cast them into the pit with the words from your discerning mind.
Let the mothers no longer weep and let the children still have their fathers when they go to sleep.
Amen
