The Making and Undoing of War
URTEXT ACIM
pg. 441
Illusion meets illusion; truth, itself.
*Simply said, truth meets truth.
The meeting of illusions leads to war.
*When one does not see god when one looks at another, he sees a threat, which leads to war.
Peace looking on itself EXTENDS itself.
*Peace attracts itself. However, while in time, we will meet those who must attack because they believe that there is another and the other is a threat. Today we call this verbal abuse in the civilized world. Herein this passage, lies the remedy.
*There are many forms and levels of the verbal, emotional, psychological, physical, financial abuse, etc.. And the one who perceives himself as separate may choose one individual to focus that fear/hate on; or they may determine that all must yield to their superiority. They have their own private ways of doing this. You need not acknowledge it, they just know, that is part of what makes them superior in their own minds.
War is the condition in which fear is born, and grows and seeks to dominate.
*I. E., the perceived threat.
Peace is the state where love abides, and seeks to share itself.
*Sometimes the only form of peace that is allowed to be shared is forgiveness. Forgiveness of the Son of God for believing he is separate from God and forgiveness of the self and the other for participating in the illusion.
Conflict and peace are opposites; where one abides, the other CANNOT be; where either goes, the other disappears.
*IN THE HEART OF THE INDIVIDUAL. This does not mean that there cannot be two individuals and one is in the place of peace and another is in conflict, because of belief in separation. This is what makes the illusion, conflict, and war, i. e. the bully.
So is the memory of God obscured in minds that have become illusions’ battleground.
*Fear, false evidence appearing real, creates the illusion.
Yet far beyond this senseless war it shines, ready to BE remembered when you side with peace.
*PEACE IS YOUR INHERITANCE, YOUR TRUTH. You only need embrace it.
Some day this and more will be achieved.
Till next time, God bless, Namaste~
