Violence in the World
becomes a way of life

War has always been presented as entertainment and glorified as part of our culture for thousands of years. In becoming involved in violent, militarised entertainment, we become virtual soldiers. Society is participating in aggression through a wide range of media, from news coverage to video games, and from television and films to the comments we leave on social media.

The mind is a sensitive instrument
and becomes easily addicted – uncontrolled.
Every time we give way to aggression
we lose our sanity
and place it in the hands of others – controllers.

It is obvious that there are those
who profit from violence and aggression.
We can choose not to be part of their armoury.

The only enemy we need to confront
is the convoluted ideas in the mind
which have no reality at all.

When we forget love,
we are lost.

Before being aware of pure awareness, all thoughts are centred around an “I”; they have an “I” orientation. When resting in pure awareness, our conduct and thoughts become an expression of love, and we become mindful of the effect we are having on others. We therefore maintain pure space to communicate freely: this is the other message we have received for thousands of years to counter aggression.

The battle is only between the dark and the dark.
When the light illuminates the dark,
there is no dark.
