OUR FEATURED ARTICLE

Making Sense of a World That’s Lost it’s Mind

It hasn’t been a great week for humanity and planet earth. Yet again we’ve had to deal with the effects of terrorism, extremism, and how to deal with people who can only hate rather than find the divine in others.

Whereas my judgmental ego-mind wants to blow these terrorists off the face of the earth – the spiritually-minded part of me recognizes that is what happens when you use aggression on people – it comes back to you in ways that you often haven’t planned for.

I’ve never seen a good war – or one that had the “loser” feeling happy or appreciative. All it does is make the survivors angry and want revenge. Anger begets anger, hate begets hate, terror begets terror.

It takes a high level of consciousness on the part of the loser to want reconciliation rather than revenge – and in today’s circumstances that is not likely to happen.

I have many Muslim friends and they will tell you that their religion is about love, and I agree. Christianity is about love too and their past is filled with violence (like during the Crusades). Every other religion has also had it’s share of not very loving actions too. We can use any system, however lofty, to justify hurting others who don’t agree with what we believe.

**Ghandi justified violence in certain exceptional circumstances. The Dalai Lama does not support violence in any circumstance.

Although Ghandi and the Dalai Lama belong to two powerful faiths, Jainism and Buddhism respectively, which originated around the same time (Mahavir, who was more or less the Buddha’s contemporary, founded Jainism, whose core principle is extreme nonviolence), neither chose to turn his faith into a political weapon to sway public opinion. In many ways, however, the Dalai Lama can be considered Ghandi’s successor insomuch as both represented an unconventional moral force.

“I sincerely believe that tolerance, compassion, and nonviolence eventually prevail,” the Dalai Lama

I sure hope the Ghandi and Dalai Lama is right. I know I don’t have the answers to any of the insanity that we are experiencing in this lifetime. I also know that it’s a waste of time to try to make sense of what is insane. All I can do for now is to do my best to keep my heart open, and I hope you can do the same.

Blessings & love, Sheri
