Enemies, Passion, Freedom & Peace
The harsher the oppression — physical and non-physical — the stronger it grows: the desire – the passion, the need – for Freedom.
Love and appreciate your so-called enemies, both conscious (living beings) and circumstantial, for the critical role they play; they do you a grand service. Without them, in the absence of their ‘provocation’, stagnation, decadence, narcissistic self-indulgence and boredom would be your perpetual companions in this world.
True Peace is not the absence of conflict and challenge, but rather the absence of separation. Unity Consciousness demands the presence of Unconditional Love. Where Unconditional Love is present, so is True Peace. The stronger Its presence, the greater the inner peace.
Where there is Life, there is movement, flow, change, growth, expansion, creation — challenge. No challenge, no change. No change, no growth. No growth, no expansion. No expansion, no Creation.
The line between stagnation and rot is wafer thin. The line between ‘peace’ — in the sense most people view that concept (as simply a lack of physical conflict and/or strife) — and stagnation . . . . . even thinner.
Physical death is a far, far cry from the ‘worst’ that one can experience.
As a musician once scribed some time ago, I’d rather wear out than rust out. Now that I know that the former is quite impossible (spiritually speaking), from my personal perspective the horror of the latter becomes exponentially more loathsome, by far the most hideous among all ‘evils’. Once again, it comes down to a simple but powerful personal choice, does it not?
Be safe, stay centered, and be very alert and discerning — both internally and externally — in the days to come. May all your personal choices lead you upward and onward on your never-ending journey Home. . . . .
All I can say is — Amen! Without challenge, there is no growth, and no life. Thanks for this post.
You’re very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it helps some people in these upcoming challenging days and months, especially in regards to our collective attitudes towards ‘the perpetrators’.
Wise words!!! Thanks for sharing

thanks!
This may interest you. On my personal blog post on this topic (titled Love Your Enemies. . .), I received a VERY valid comment that deserved a detailed response. In part it reads: ‘. . . . it’s hard to truly ‘love’ the enemies who create real threats to your life and your family.’
If you would like to know how I addressed that pivotal question in relation to the concepts presented in this post (namely ‘love your enemies’), please go to my personal blog site to read my response.
I am finding that unconditional love and inner peace are twin gifts of the Holy Spirit!
