Path to Peace

"It’s interesting that the path to peace often is war. We, like you, don’t agree that it’s making things better, but we don’t think they’re wrong; and we understand the thinking behind it. And if you get involved in every disagreement of every point of Consciousness, your life’s just going to be in a scramble. Finally you have to say, “This isn’t about me. I didn’t wage this war. I didn’t pick this war. I don’t understand this war. I’m not going to think about this war, and I’m not going to use it as my excuse to not feel good any more.”

This quote from Abraham reinforces that if we are not in the direct loop of affecting changes in the world...be it as close as someone in our families, let alone Iraq among other places...to continue to stew in it and tie the very peace of our soul to it doesn't serve our own journey which should be joy. Have you ever tried to fix or make right something in the life of a family member who didn't want to be fixed or made right? If you kept trying and made that person the center of your primary thoughts and feelings as you continued to do you best to get that person to do what you wanted them to do so you could feel better, you probably came out on the short end of the stick. If anything isn't in your direct purview to affect a change is being allowed to impact your life to the extent it is now as if beating a dead horse, consider embracing the thought, "This isn't about me. I didn't wage this [whatever]. I didn't pick this [whatever]. I don't understand this [whatever]. I'm not going to think about this [whatever], and I'm not going to use it as my excuse to not feel good any more." That is, unless you enjoy beating the drum of what always feels like a knife in the solar plexus. We do have the choice.
