Theos-Talk Archives (January 2009 Message tt00253)

Must see video of a young woman facing down soldiers.

As theosophy stands for human rights and this brave woman protects the land which enemies want to steel from her people, her action must be regarded as practical theosophy, which is often too much bookish!

programming leads to divisivness and separateness. All wars are 
generated by those who have a self interest rather than a holistic 
interest in mankind -

have to deprogram ourselves and say no to killing.  By de-programming 
we have to recognise the conflict in our own lives,  that we are in 
fact conflicted by our religions and ideologies because we hold on to 
them and cling to our specific group  because we believe it provides 
us with a sense of security (wars prove the opposite).  We are 
prepared to die or to kill  for our families, our community, our 
religion, our country.  Don't you think the leaders of these groups 
know that we can be manipulated into being used for their particular 
self interest.

conflict - revenge will continue until one side wipes out the other - 
and then another one will come along to take up the fight.
