By Jan In the world we perceive, conflict often appears as a formidable force, shaping our experiences and testing our understanding of peace. The ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia is one such situation that has captivated global attention, stirring emotions and prompting reflections on deeper truths. We are invited to look beyond the surface of such events and embrace a perspective rooted in love, forgiveness, and the recognition of our shared divinity.
Seeing Beyond the Illusion
We can see the world we see a projection of our collective thoughts and beliefs, an illusion that veils the eternal truth of our oneness with God. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia, like all worldly conflicts, can be seen as a manifestation of the ego’s desire for separation and division. In reality, there is no true separation; we are all part of the same divine Sonship, united in the love of our Creator.
The Power of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a powerful tool for healing. It is through forgiveness that we can transcend the illusions of conflict and remember our true nature. Forgiveness does not condone or justify harmful actions but rather shifts our perception from fear to love. By forgiving, we release the heavy burden of judgment and open our hearts to the possibility of peace.
In the context of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, practicing forgiveness means seeing beyond the actions and rhetoric of both sides and recognizing the shared humanity and divine essence within each person involved. It is about understanding that every individual, regardless of their actions, is doing their best from their level of awareness and deserves compassion and love.
Embracing Inner Peace
Inner peace is the foundation upon which we can build a world of harmony. We have to remind us that nothing real can be threatened, and nothing unreal exists. Our true essence, grounded in love, remains untouched by the tumult of the world. By turning inward and connecting with our inner guide, we can find the peace that surpasses all understanding and extend it outward to others.
In these challenging times, meditation and prayer can be powerful practices. They help us align with the divine presence within and offer a space to send thoughts of peace and healing to all those affected by the conflict. As we cultivate inner peace, we become beacons of light in the world, inspiring others to also choose love over fear.
A Call to Unity
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia is a reminder of the work that remains in our collective journey toward unity and peace. It calls us to rise above the narratives of division and embrace the truth of our interconnectedness. Every thought of love, every act of kindness, contributes to the healing of the world.
Let us hold a vision of peace for Ukraine, Russia, and the entire world. Let us affirm that true peace begins within each of us and extends outward, touching every heart and mind. As we navigate these times, may we remember that we are always guided by a higher wisdom and that love is the only reality.
May we all find the strength to forgive, the courage to love, and the vision to see beyond the illusions of conflict to the truth of our oneness. Peace is not just a distant hope but a present reality, available to us in every moment when we choose to see with the eyes of love.
