Seth: your own preoccupation with arms, as a country

Nov 1972  Seth class :


“But when all the young men refuse to kill for the sake of peace,  and
when
all the women forbid their men to kill for the sake of peace,  and when
you
realize that no peace will come through killing, and that  the end does
not
justify the means, and when you grow full and light  with thoughts of
peace, there
will be an end to war. But as long as any  men go to war for the sake of
peace, there will be war. And, as long as  any woman teaches her sons to
go to war
because of love of the peace,  there will be war.

"You make your world. When you populate your world with ideas of  peace,
then
peace will grow. When you think thoughts of aggression, you  attract
aggression and you draw it out from others in daily contact, and on  the
part of
nations.

"...Now you cannot understand this now, and yet I tell you that your  own

preoccupation with arms, as a country, is received by others, and  your
own
thoughts are materialized and you create wars in your minds  that then
must be
faced with your flesh and your  blood.

"The reality that you have is a replica of your thoughts. If you do  not
like
the world, you must change your thoughts and no  exterior manipulation
will
change the face of your experience one iota, if  you do not change your
dreams
and your thoughts.

"...Unfortunately, you equate aggression with strength, so you are
afraid to
elect a peaceful man. And all the other countries feel the same,  so they
are
afraid to put into power, by whatever means, peaceful men.  And so your
world
situation is the result of your individual beliefs,  enmasse.

"...Now, when individually you believe in peace, and when you no  longer
believe that good is weak and evil is powerful, then, on  countrywide
bases, you
will put people into power who believe in the active  nature of peace.
And,
again, there is no other answer.”
