About battle

I get tired, doze off a bit and see the following vision: A man pulls men aside. They cannot resist. They are going to war. They are simple people. They are confused, they do not know what to do. They are uncertain. No one cares about them. This is followed by a series of sentences:

 “Why should we fight for you?

Why should we give our lives for your fight?

Why do you kill us if we do not fight?

What right do you have to take life and order life to be taken?

What right do you have to deprive us of our own choice?

We were put into the world to give life, why should we take others life?”. 

 

“Everyone must ask themselves these questions”.

 

“The words of the gods do not call for battle. The dogmas about battle are the argumentation and legalization of battle by power. Battle is self-reinforcing and self-referential. Acceptance is not. Acceptance takes you out of battle and its dogmas, rules and mechanisms. Your inner process cannot be won through battle, only through acceptance”.

 Slowly a red framework forms in front of me. It becomes more and more finely meshed and comes closer to me and is followed by the words:

 “The armies of battle fight for victory and glory. The acceptance of the individual leads the individual away from armies and into the inner values and closed relations”.
