The war is in the mind, and the Trojan horse used to manipulate people into perpetuating physical war is called the statist religion.

Yeah Marianne. lets shift this show of fear to love.

Chaos to order.

Who is at war?

I bet if you asked all the people living in the Land called "America" they may differ to what Trump with his chaos hat is saying.

The real war is an inner one to shift from this fear ( knowing war i$ profitable and provides control for some ) to love

Peace and love

Marianne, I so appreciate your Emphasizing truth t about what is happening and what it may or may not mean. then there is that reminder that there is always darkness and light in these horrors of situations. As my heart is heavy for all of the people affected in the next however many days I am feeling and sending a light of warmth, with any kindness that's left to be wrapped around us all in loving support of the Divine.

When only the male half of the human race continues to run the world, we will continue to settle our differences and "solve" our problems with our weapons instead of our hearts and minds.

Although Kristi Noem and Pam Pondi aren't showing us another way

Those two women were not even on my mind. I was referring to the other half--the female half of this human race (And the men who are brave enough to join them) on this beautiful earth, who are empathetic, compassionate, socially conscious, spiritually evolved and of no particular religious or political affiliation but Egalitarians. The song "Harvest for The World" says it all. Please check it out. Love is all there is.

Men compete to pillage the countryside, and other people, to gain the spoils of war to win the trophy wife. I have refused to do that, and have spent my life without any affection from women. If women gave it away for free, men would have nothing to fight about, they would be happy. Men are much more likely to bond with each other than women are (they will charge the machine guns to keep from letting their buddies down; women, "What are you, nuts!") Women are much more ruthless than men are and they use and manipulate testosterone-poisoned men to get stuff. When men win the lottery, they get the trophy wife. When women win the lottery, they are relieved to not need men anymore...........I see through your manipulative, guilt-tripping; and I will NOT go to war for you!

I'm sorry for whatever experiences you've had to come to such conclusions and beliefs about women and life in general. Whenever I let other negative energy into my heart, others feel it and respond in kind, especially children and animals who let me know in no uncertain terms. When I'm feeling love for myself and for others, and don't absorb the negative, hateful energy of others, I'm fine. These are the words I shout out into the Universe each and every day: "Hello Big Red(wood) and every native tree. Thank you for flourishing so beautifully. Hell Sun, Thank you for your warmth, for your light, and for the life you give. Hello Blue Sky, Earth, wind and seas and every ocean breeze. Hello birds, beasts and butterflies and every single bee. Hello Earth and every thing and every one on it. I love you, I love me, I love the TRUE LOVE within everybody. I love my heart and soul, I love all of humanity. Join hearts and souls together in love, peace, wellness, rejuvenation, truth and justice, equality, prosperity, joy, compassion, and harmony."

Thank you for your beautiful reply! I am 70 years old and I have found the happiness that you describe by renouncing, for life, the violence of trying to control others or accepting the control and guilt-tripping from others. The path to freedom, for me, has clearly been to renounce getting in all forms, including negotiated relationships. It has enabled me to see more clearly the insanity in manipulative and guilt-based relationships, whether sex or finance. I had to respond to your implication that men go to war without the blessing of women. Wars are the inevitable result of living life in competition for resources, instead of compassion and caring about others as oneself. I do not know the answer, but I think that it is valuable to ponder if the manipulators share any responsibility for the actions of those that they manipulate. Women are (in my experience) much more materially manipulative than men. Men want things to get women. Women want men to get things. Who is more responsible for wars over resources, those who value others over things, or those who value things over others? I do not excuse men who allow themselves to be manipulated to compete for resources without regard for the effect of their "getting" on those who are gotten from. If we want to move past war, we must engage is self examination and accepting of responsibility for our actions, not just blaming others.

What beautiful words to shout to the universe

Keep shining your light of wisdom, Marianne. It would be great if those of f us Americans had more groups of individuals in the forefront of what is going on plus groups of individuals in the background. Those of us who seek and love democracy cannot sit in our hands but I also get a sense that there has to be those individuals who think and act strategically to help all of us overcome what Trump and his financial supporters have been implementing over a course of years. None of us “regular” Americans can take money from the federal reserve treasury and it seems outlandish that so many in Congress and the Senate are allowing Trump to take money from various programs of our government to profit himself, his family, and those close to him. Keep giving your insight, Marianne as I believe many Americans need it.

Thank you, Marianne, for reminding me what my role is during these challenging times...to be the aware and loving person I was created to be!💫

Once again, you lay it on the line and tell us exactly what's happening. The horrible actions of a thoughtless, senseless, war-mongering government - and the destruction that will inevitably follow. But then you also present that surge of courage - that impetus for us all to stand up now to this atrocity and shine our lights - fiercely, consistently. For in the end - actually there is no end - we must always overcome darkness with that Light!

Marianne, this is just terrible. When will we ever learn?

Kevin White's avatar

In some past ancient cultures, when kingdoms or empires would declare war against their neighbors or against other nations, their kings or rulers would stand at the front of the military lines and lead the attack.

I wonder how many wars or conflicts we would still have today if the leaders of the world’s nations had to do the same thing?

💔 We are filled with light in spite of the spiritual blindness. Thank you for informing and inspiring us all!

Thank you for your clear-eyed assessment of this declaration of war with Iran. This is both terrifying and heartbreaking. Your country is being led by psychopaths and it seems they are systematically destroying the world order that has provided us (a privileged few) with some semblance of stability and prosperity for the last 80 years. I am trying to manage the fear that I am feeling and I am deeply grateful for your guidance as we all learn to navigate these dark times.

Trump thrives on hate. Those who have never been loved, have never known love, can never love, fill the void with hate. Appetizers have been served - Venezuela, ICE, Detention camps, War is the main course of hate.

Some Iranian-Americans are welcoming these attacks. They are convinced that the Islamic Republic will fold, in short order. I am not at all sure of that. There are very deep layers of paramilitary under the clerics. A Department of Peace was, and remains, one of the best ideas ever advanced.

I hate war. And we are extraordinary people

Upon awakening, i want to flee - as it all seems so overwhelming and beyond my power.

each day I wrestle with God (in Hebrew, Israel means- one who wrestles with God) to greet this day and be a conduit of Peace . Although my freedom is connected to everybody else else’s freedom. Each day in my morning centering, prayers and meditation, I do ask God to guide me -in love & service. Through my sober vessel. I choose to be that-and informed- through your spiritual guidance and daily input MW! - thank you for being a guiding light

As Muslims, and people around the world will know it is Ramadan. Is there not a code of conduct in war? There are people in Iran fasting from sunrise to sunset everyday during this time. What are political leaders trying to say.
