| From an esoteric viewpoint the current world crisis is concerned with allowing mankind to shift consciousness. Its not about taking sides, its about knowing how you will be lead or influenced, and how you will not. Its about knowing the rightness and the reality of your own conscience and your own thought. It makes little difference who backs down and who doesn’t want to lose face. In the esoteric sense there is a saying: ‘as above, so below.’ The conflict at the mundane level mirrors the collective unconscious, the collective human psyche, and that is never black and white. No sane person can want war, not in this day and age. But remember that what you think is as important as what you say and do, or how you vote. And more important than what is done and said by those supposedly elected to protect and lead nations. What you think is far more powerful. If you don’t know what to think its because confusion is a means of control. So is fear. Refuse to be controlled. Refuse to be controlled by fear mentally and you will know not only who you are but what you really think. This situation brings to light the way we habitually think. All great events happen so that little events can be reshaped and re-evaluated. The forces of economy rule us, as do the forces of the media....if we allow it. But the universal laws continue to rule the universe absolutely; no amount of spin, hypocrisy, hype or fight for world supremacy by the few in the name of the many can alter the modus operandi of the cosmos. At Perceptivity and Cartouche we do not support the war in any way. But we remain aware that change mostly comes via interaction and points of conflict. War is not the only way of evolving. It is not the only way for change to come. On the contrary, it is the least likely conduit for beneficial change. Refuse to be mentally a part of the game. Some of the worst events and catastrophes are born of a surfeit of human emotion, sustained by emotion and going on to reinforce similar emotion. A syndrome, a cycle imprisoning the reason. Things take seed on the emotional plane and are fed by the psyche until becoming manifest on the physical plane. Be aware of the need for sense, and for balance, and feel these qualities within before looking for them outside. The inner world influences the outer world and that remains true. The collective psyche has its greatest strength from within the individual and its only real power is at the mental and spiritual levels. |
