PEACE OR PROTEST? Perhaps it is good to have a closer look from an unprejudiced perspective at the way in which pacifists and other groups active in the peace process operate, as well as our own role in this process.

Many great souls such as Jesus, Buddha, Krishnamurti and many others knew that peace through protest in whatever form creates the opposite. War results from peace and peace results from war. When we take a closer look at these two opposites, we will see the similarity in connection with the creative principle. In itself there is nothing against these opposites because we also accept being born and dying, growth and decay, action and rest, and so on. Once the individual consciousness increases, these opposites will begin to show more harmony towards each other, as a result of which extremities such as war will no longer be necessary. Everyone has the power and strength to change his/her life circumstances. Higher frequencies of Light consume and transform the lower frequencies and as a consequence we ourselves become capable of changing the energies in our lives. In doing so we obtain the ability to remain objective regarding war and are no longer touched by it. A change at one particular level affects the other layers of consciousness in and around ourselves. When we are present in our Unity all layers are in harmony and agreement: ‘As above, so below’!

We gain insight into the fact that all our actions derive from ego or power. As long as we are not yet conscious of this ego, this will be at the cost of others (our opposites). Precisely the polarity of our thinking makes it possible to maintain harmony. The ability to see the quality of life once we work intelligently and are empowered. If this experience is bypassed then our opposites will become clearer and we will no longer see the true value of this opposite image. Based on the law of polarity, everything exists in continuity and has an opposite. We are able to neutralise and transform any unwanted thoughts by concentrating on their opposites. This is the law of mental vibration. It can be used to conquer a storm from a sense of calmness by no longer tuning in to the energy of the storm but by simply letting the storm rage itself out. By simply letting the energy take its course without us feeding it or paying attention to it or connecting with it based on fear.

We need to create space within ourselves. A space of the kind where we rediscover such as the space that develops when too much water is transported by the river and finds a temporary outlet in washlands so as to prevent even bigger disasters from happening. This action in advance sees to it that in case of a calamity we act neither actively nor passively but rather are able to be positively actively present where help is needed. The law of action engenders activities that support the thoughts, feelings and words regarding the connection of Heaven and Earth. Heaven needs to be connected to the earth and thereby anchored. This can only manifest in our 4th and 5th dimensional thinking.

The 3rd dimension requires action necessary for the realisation of manifestations. In the 5th dimensional realm of consciousness we create by means of our thoughts the space to enable these manifestations to take place. Through our actions we become conscious of this 5th dimensional area of creation and its power and this enable us to create eternal peace; this is what Lightwork is all about. Therefore all work that is not ego or emotion bound and is in tune with the most High is Lightwork. This means that the work does the work without us putting ourselves on a pedestal and proclaiming what is good and bad while basing our actions on this. This does not mean that people cannot be against war. It simply means that we no longer try to convince others of our viewpoints via protest since this in fact is equal to waging war. Each emotion, war or whatever else is suppressed, will sooner or later rear its head again since it is linked to its own rhythm, patterns and cycles. This is the reason why these things will continue to manifest until such a time that we change ourselves. This is a Divine law. Therefore never be too emotional or enervated, never again be negative, because all this deeply permeates our consciousness and once again looks for its opposite. It is very important that we are extremely cautious regarding people and groups that wish to manifest themselves on a large scale. The true Lightwork and its peace will take place in the invisible, in simplicity and in our hearts.

Therefore it is no use trying to convince someone against his or her own will because it will not change the other’s viewpoint anyway! Each soul needs experiences, also an experience necessary to gain understanding as to why a war has developed and why it was reversible. Based on the law of relativity, each person has his/her own karma to work through. This means that each and everyone one will have to go through a number of problems and experiences since these are the tests of initiation that each soul needs in order to strengthen the light within. Therefore continue to regard these tests as challenges linked to our heart while we ourselves deal with our problems. It teaches us to compare our problems to those of others and to see everything in the right perspective. After all, no matter how difficult the situation, there is always someone who is even worse off, and this in turn makes everything relative.

We often have an inner battle going on inside us, one having to do with pain that has not yet been processed. We strive towards outer peace and yet continue to be at war with a family member due to hurtful events from the past. Everything originates from the unseen and therefore mankind needs the physical image to become conscious of the unseen. A human being is a dualistic creature and wishes to manifest itself in good and in evil while its soul becomes conscious of this illusion. There are three groups of souls on this planet:

• Those who are in favour of war.
• Those who are opposed to war and protest in whatever way possible.
• Those who let the work do the work.

Letting the work do the work is a continuous process of peace in connection with the Self. It is the silence from which may spring a fragmented and more dimensional viewpoint. We then come to realise that nothing can be steered from a collective consciousness which has not first come to enlightenment in every soul. On the scale of mental evolution, a human being is the only one with a sense of an individual soul and therefore humankind’s creative force is so strong. Animals have a group soul that expresses itself in instinctive behaviour. If human beings lowers themselves to this level, they enter into massive protests, acquire things that everyone else has and identify with the group instead of searching for the Light within their own Selves. Let us hope that we will come to understand this from the heart.
