Illusive Peace in the World

Illusive Peace in the World  PDF Version

Any peace a person has is on the personal level. Peace in the world, according to historical evidence as well as in natural law, is not possible. I have explained that we are all born into an ongoing power struggle. The struggle is ongoing today, just as it always is. All of us who are part of the great unwashed are not involved to any extent. Closer to the top, the competition is vicious.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. Matthew 24:6

This situation has not changed in over 2000 years. In modern times, our situation is quite different than it was back then. Power at the top is highly pronounced and concentrated. Consequences of wars are more devastating. Still, world peace is not simply illusive. It is impossible.

Getting in touch with reality is not just for entertainment. We are at the apex of the power struggle at this moment. Living in the light of reality gives you no protection from nuclear warheads. It does arm you in terms of knowing what to expect – so as to plan life accordingly. The value of attaining the light of reality is that peace does not disappear during trying times.

Give up on believing the lies of life and peace occurs automatically.

Recently, when answering a question in regards to my argument that the lie is a survival tool in the light of reality…. my answer was as follows.

Is there any such thing as a spiritual dimension? The biggest number do believe in there is, but pay the concept no mind. A small number recognize a spiritual world that is as important to our essence as what we experience physically. So, my observations will only be taken seriously by that small number.

Lies serve as a survival tool only in what the religions call the secular world. The secular world is synonymous with the animal kingdom, which is governed by the law of the jungle. Because of that, there are areas where the truth is not used at all. One of those is politics.

The only way to escape the world of lies is to become grounded in peace. Peace is acquired when one ceases to believe the lies of life. To live in peace is to think in the light of reality. Lies are diffused in a state of peace.

Smartening Up Chumps The Hazards

With natural law, we can get it right with hardly any facts, figures or information deemed necessary. All we need is to know how life works. We do that by discarding the lies of life. We just observe the situation through  the light of reality.

Look at the world through the lens of fantasy and all conclusions we witness are misdirected through the prism of fantasy. When comic, W. C. Fields coined the two quotes below, surely he was not aware of their significance to the situation in the world today.

“You can fool some of the people some of the time — and that’s enough to make a decent living.” W.C. Fields Continue reading

The fantasy free advantage starts with the understanding that uncertainty is normal. Some uncertainty can be eliminated – but not much. Out of uncertainty, its close cousin insecurity is derived. Uncertainty and insecurity combine and fear is the result.  Fear is assuaged by adopting euphemisms and  indulging in fantasy. Cold reality is too overwhelming  so it becomes  replaced with fantasies.

No one knows what life is. No one knows what happens when we die. We are all conscious. No one knows what consciousness is. Is consciousness generated by life or is it independent of life?

Then , there is the will to live. The will to live is more confounding than life itself. Whatever is alive seeks to stay alive. Even a blade of grass with no brain has the will to live. Who knows the source of the will to live? Does life have a purpose? Any purpose is not apparent. All animals, including humans must consume animals and other living things in order to survive. Focusing on these attributes of existence is daunting. The mind doesn’t want to go there – so it doesn’t.

In the Old Testament, the author of the Book of Ecclesiastes focuses on these issues and draws no concrete conclusions. The meanings of a number of Old Testament books focus on how to live life in the face of life’s daunting unanswered questions and mysteries.

The race to escape reality begins at birth. Every child is unknowingly born into an eternal power struggle.  Reality is replaced with fantasy because it is too harsh to cope with.  Our world is governed by laws of dominance and subservience. Most people live in an oasis of peace separated from all of the belligerence and brutality …. that is actually an ongoing process. The attempted escape does begin at birth. This continues throughout life. Reality always wins in the end.

Basic Unanswered Questions

 During a lifetime, reality catches up with everyone a number of times. That does not mean a person becomes enlightened and discovers what reality is. Having to deal with reality is not the same as grasping and internalizing the concept. As soon as a crisis passes and usually while the crisis is ongoing, life becomes centered around new fantasies. Sometimes old fantasies are refurbished, adjusted, and re-applied to one’s life.

Regardless…. reality is what it is.  to all consumed in fantasy, their fantasies  are their reality. Attack these fantasies of life and their beholders defend them vehemently. The lies of life replace nature’s reality with fantasies. The truth is then seen as threatening. I guess that it is. The truth about reality is what it is – no matter what. In other words, the way things are is the way things are.
