The origin of warfare are rooted deep in the animal kingdom of survival instinct and rival combat. As intelligens evolve in homo sapiens, war is expanded to other areas of life as vanity and a taste for power demands stronger weapons and bigger army’s. Sadly the development of big religious institutions boosted warfare, as it became so much easier to kill in the name of God! Besides the “holy” battles, a lot of other mass suggestion induced wars where born from political propaganda and racist convictions of what is the just motive for war! So many fear catalyzed generalizations have escalated to massive crises of war and terror, to that extend, that nobody really remember why they are fighting anymore!
But as the world evolves, and consciousness slowly grows in mankind, the ideals and expressions changes. Instead of an imperialistic conquering army, we now have a defense army, and the world media are keen to detect any violation of human rights, even in modern warfare and defense activity as in the battle against terrorism.
Man is still half animal, though, and it’s easy to awaken the sleeping monster within, if a skilled politician or agitator can manipulate the fear for an enemy, even if he exist in fantasy only! One act of terror is enough to spark the “just war for peace” – and suddenly the cause rules the way, and it looks like a huge setback in humanity when we take arms to kill in the name of peace and justice – as a step backwards in evolution.
What is going on- seen from the spiritual side of world crises? And what kind of karmatic patterns can explain the unspeakable suffering of modern war? Let’s try to sort out a few cosmic perspectives:
- There is a masterplan
- The purpose of war
- The quest for peace begins within
- Revenge and forgiveness
- The principle of Hunger and Saturation
1. The fine balance of Cosmos is not only keeping planets in orbits and heat in the stars, but even rules destiny of man. If “all is good” -there must be a plan, even with war! After each world war our civilization on earth agree to put an end to war, and big efforts are made to prevent future armed crises! After the last war, the UN was created as an embryo to a future world government of peace and cooperation. The foundation of Human Rights and the birth of all humanitarian organisations to support global healthcare and welfare, to overcome poverty and hunger, springs from a common longing for peace and inspire us to follow the masterplan towards an international world kingdom on earth! If mother earth was a town, there would be no sherif, no law, no justice – it would still be “the wild west” , where every citizens have to bare arms to protect himself. But the plan is real civilization, and slowly the embryo will grow and take form, but though it is only minutes for mother earth, it can be several thousands of years for man, before maturity transform the embryo of UN to a supreme world government of peace and justice!
2. For this transformation, we badly need guidance, and guess who the best teacher is? Yes – karma! Imagine what kind of lesson that could persuade the superpowers of earth to hand over there armed forces to a neutral world peace force? The thrill of power is very hard to let go, I’m afraid, and many religious and political issues will still be ruling the outcome of conflicts in favor of local and in opposition of global goals, for many decades ahead! What we need is that level of compassion and tolerance, that only karma can create! Only through cause and effect, will the bullet return to the shooter and the missile to its origin, and teach exactly that physical lesson, that will turn the soldier to become a pacifist for all future! And we already see them all around – young men and woman, who deny to carry arms, because the past life trauma of war sufferings are so alive in there imagination and compassion, that they are unable to hurt anyone anymore! They have learned the lesson of peace – the lesson of karma!
3. Again a shift of perspective can help us get the ball rolling! The peacework begin inside! Make peace with youself -and you can be in peace with the world! War is not only outer events on a battlefield, but even mental war of inner conflict and destructive thoughts towards your neighbor! The act of tolerance begins with the understanding of unity of all living beings in the universe, including those in our own microcosm! Thoughts and feelings of aggression, hate, depression, bitterness and so creates war and terror among our microbeings, as well as intolerance in our surroundings. To practice tolerance and understanding – to mentally place yourself in the shoes of your opponent – to think positively of those you fear and dislike – is the strongest and highest form for meditation ever! This will lighten our spirit and bring peace of mind, and at the same time bring peace to the cosmos within! Imagine if our leaders could be masters of that discipline?
4. So why is this masterplan taking so long? It seems as if man is a creature of habit! Many old traditions stick to our behavior automatically, as if they where an organic part of our being. And so they are! A little spiritual living organ in our superstructure still repeats the act of revenge in subconscious mind and soul, even if we try to practice the art of forgiveness in our most conscious and focussed moments! This is due to the principle of talent creation. That old habits only can vanish, when it is not used, and when a new talent or skill of opposite value is learned instead. The first wish of change comes from the awareness through karma, and to exchange revenge with forgiveness is hard work of practice, step by step, little by little, before the new capacity of love and forgiveness is as automatic as the old instinct of hate and vengeance. It takes much more bravery to stop defending yourself and to use your new found skills of humanity, than just to fall in to old instincts of survival! When you see your own past mirrored in the eyes of your enemy, he is instantly transformed to your friend! Forgive him -and you forgive yourself!
5. Some soldiers are not done fighting yet! Our world need some big crises still, to release the war karma of history, and learn the lesson of peace! For this, new battlefields on earth will be a good teaching ground for younger souls to learn – and in this epoch, we will see how eager soldiers will incarnate to go to war! But thanks to karma, this is the best way to create pacifist – through the cosmic law of hunger and saturation. The hunger of power and excitement – the hunger for arms – the hunger for blood will very soon bee saturated, and the law of contrast will awaken the new longing for peace – a new hunger!
Our history is a history of war, so the saturation is nearly done and the hunger for peace is new and fresh! Young people is still in the repetition period, so most soldiers are not updated from all past life experiences before they reach 30. Maybe this is one of the reasons of all suicides of veterans. The awareness of maturity deeply regrets acts of war done in ignorance of youth, as they where done by another person! And in a way they where, representing a state of evolution from lifetimes long gone! But for each lifetime, repetition of soldier lives will be pushed further back in age, just to be expressed and saturated in innocent games of fantasy wars and computer games. The grown up person will be fully conscious in his peace loving conviction so he can be a peace worker, both within and in society!
These are the new leaders we need to fulfill the masterplan! The rulers of the future world government are leaders of wisdom and tolerance. The only power they conduct, is the power of cosmic truth! We will see leaders with outer humbleness and inner strength, brave to depend fully on the law of karma, knowing that the only protection from war, is peace! Being the only armed force on earth, they will never need to use it!
As an apple ripe, and a flower bloom and sets seeds, the masterplan will succeed – and there will come a time when karma only brings joy and happiness, where all our sincere efforts as peace workers in wartimes, bounce back in love and compassion, served by all wonderful peaceloving people, we once forgave, helped and saved!

Well,we need to have peace,but the world doesnt always want it,unfortunately.We’ve had many activists (Mother Theresa,Martin Luther King r,John Lennon,Michael Jackson,etc.) and they’ve all either died or were killed because of their peaceful wantings.How can we achive the peace we need in order to live in a better world,if the activists will be murdered in their attempt?
