Rory writes snipped: Anyone can react against the evil out there and act to change it, and most do. More power to them! But IME it takes real courage to root out the evil where it actually lies -- in our own beliefs, our own thoughts. That's when we truly end the war.
Right action continues, as always. And IME the actions arising from Love and Peace and Bliss are infinitely more effective than those arising from pain and suffering and contempt and hatred -- i.e. from false beliefs and projections :-) TomT; I had the opportunity to spend an entire weekend with Byron Katie working on Loving What IS. At the conclusion she asked three questions Who is happy with their weight? Who is happy with the way they look or their appearance? Who is happy with the amount of money they have? If you were happy then leave hands down. If not happy then put the hands up. When she finished the third question about 97 out of 100 hands were up in the air. These folks had just finished a ton of exercises trying to get how to be happy with what is and they were willing to state publicly they didn't get it. Byron looked around the room and made the statement that when you are willing to give up the war within yourself the war in Iraq and the rest of the world would end. The outer is just a mirror for the internal landscape. The audience was stunned and began to get that you can not fix anything outside yourself if you have not done the work on the inside and stopped that internal war. Those who insist that the outside needs to be fixed are unwilling to do what it takes inside and would rather put it out side themselves and continue in denial that they are the root cause and effect.
