WAR WILL END! WAR WILL END! WAR WILL END!

Yesterday, fear of war was rampant throughout the world, so we asked "Will war start soon?" With your help, the answer is No. That there will never be another war on our planet may be unlikely, but it IS possible! With the right change of consciousness in the majority of people, war will end forever. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when, for it is a certainty predicted by numerous sages. But the current question is will we shift our group consciousness to loving tolerance and understanding now (before the crunch time) due to current wisdom, or will we have to suffer violence on an absolutely horrendous scale before we are humbled and persuaded to bow before God and make that shift from selfishness to service to humanity?

We need look no further than our personal environment to face who we currently are. Do we get angry with family members? Do we enjoy violent films or play violent video games? Do we swear at drivers that irritate us? How insecure do we feel? (Do we habitually purchase wants instead of just needs? Do we hoard instead of allowing goods to freely flow for others' use? Do we rape the planet's resources?) Do we trust God to provide our necessities? Are we truly grateful for the infinite blessings we already receive? Or do we habitually want more and more, to the extent that to satisfy our desires, we are expecting others to work for a pittance in third world countries, and project anger and resistance when they rebel against their poverty and exploitation?

We must inevitably accept that in our human nature, we are a wide mix of lesser qualities with higher, spiritual qualities, and that how we impact our world is set by our decisive activity. And what rules that activity? Let it be transcended from selfishness to love of all, the divine love such as Jesus and other great beings have demonstrated. Thus, it is now essential that we each voluntarily recognize the futility of rampant indulgent "free" will, and that it is mandatory to strive to transform ourselves to our highest, wisest, activity.

To this end, to aid our personal transformations, I offer the following prayer. I suggest we say this, and feel this, as frequently as possible throughout every day.

    "Every day, i am more deeply in love with God in all ways.

    I unconditionally love all humans, animals, and our world.

    Every day, i am more attuned to God as i actively obey God, prioritizing better, and doing my work diligently.

    Every day, my health, memory, knowledge, wisdom and skills improve to suit my loving service to God.

    I am blessed; i am grateful."

So why is this such a powerful method of making the world better? My answer is that it is next to impossible to change someone else, so let my focus be on transforming myself. As frequently as I think or say this prayer, my daily activity cannot help but be influenced positively. In this manner, each day I will make a few steps, and God will take me the next thousand.

Now multiply this by the billions on this planet who also have every reason to strive for self-improvement, and we have dissolved the cause of war. As the war within each is quenched, so will the war external end. The Golden Age will dawn. It is our choice whether it is sooner rather than later. Please help.

This is how "God helps those who help themselves". We each must do our bit and stop the waiting, the blaming, and the victim consciousness.
