Q: George, why is their war? We war in society, we war in our spirit, we war in our ego. Seems to me all we do is war. Why?
A: The human spirit or ego - if you wish it that way - is always wanting to obtain what it desires whether it is in society, our spirit or our ego. It is always due to some form of desire. War happens to obtain things, land, rule, or dominion. It isn't a pleasant thing for either side. It causes much grief to all those involved. Often it produces just the opposite of what the whole war started out for. It is sad. We guides hate to see war happen in any given situation but it often is the best teacher - especially when it is a war within one. Often a war in our spirit or ego will bring the soul into a new discovery of spirit and of themselves. So sometimes war can be good. If one wars, (lets say for example,) in their ego over the desire to gamble or not gamble. The soul is in agony within fighting the desire to do it and suffering the guilt of what it will bring to them and those they love. The war will eventually end when the ego chooses which direction it will go, but the natural consequences of their choice will start. For the soul addicted to gambling it is often the one that will bring the most sorrow. Often they will loose a great deal if not all they have. Those around them will suffer too, eventually that soul will finally come to the end of their struggle and choose to change. It is a hard and lonely road they will travel to get out of the addiction. Its the same with any addiction - no matter the love. Addiction is strictly a love. The love is very strong and the desire to maintain that love even stronger. A soul can be addicted to any love. Often we think of - a love - as a person, house, or car - as the real love.
Loves can be anything. Loves can be a desire to rule - to dominate, food, clothes, anger, jealousy, knowledge, sex, hatred, well you get my drift. It is anything we desire more than anything else. It controls our thinking, our path's direction. It is what we become - as we seek after our love. If our love is to follow within the oneness of love then we find our path riddled with havoc. For we can only truly learn to love as we suffer within the dying of our duality. Duality produces separation. Love produces oneness. So love can only be when we learn there is no such thing as separation. The only way to learn that - is to allow the soul and ego to merge. Believe me when I say - that will produce a war within you! The ego is not one to want the soul to have any say in our path. It will fight to the end to maintain its dominance. The soul on the other hand will simply love the ego as it is and allow it to have its way. It wants peace - not war. The ego desires the war. It relishes the power and command. Now you are thinking why have an ego. It is bad.
No, it is not. The ego produces the journey for each soul to obtain knowledge of enlightenment. Without it we would not learn. It is a very necessary thing. For only in the war can one learn what love is.
Q: Why can't we just be born with the knowledge? Why do we have to fight for it?
A: If one is given everything does that one truly appreciate it? No - one will simply take it for granted. To realize what love is - one must take the path of true learning. They must allow each experience to come forth in order for the lesson to be learned. Each experience walked - teaches that soul who and what they are. One can not change until one truly learns that. If I state - all souls are one - with your mind dwelling in duality - would you grasp the true meaning of the word - oneness? No - you simply would not. For one will only learn it as the ego allows its counterpart the soul to merge with it and open up the truth that dwells within. The light within - given at that moment - will begin the path to the knowledge of what it means when I speak of - oneness. This is a journey all souls must take and continue to take. Even we guides continue to grow in enlightenment. The only difference is we see the - why.
