But isn’t it the case that wars are the decision of only a few people who
hold the power, whereas the rest would prefer to live in peace?
So why do you give power to those people who do the opposite to
what you want? If, when the ill-intentioned rulers of your world call their
people to war, they discover that nobody is willing to take up a gun, or
there is nobody to oblige the rest to take up a gun, or nobody to
manufacture arms, they won’t be able to do anything, no matter how
evil they are. If they do achieve this, it is because they know how to
stimulate the egoism that exists amongst you. They know how to take
the sheep to the slaughter house because they have convinced the
sheep that they are the slaughterers of other sheep. So the people with
the problem are those who believe that they have the right to kill
others like them, thereby running the risk of they themselves being killed
by others. The spirits that have internalised the spiritual laws when
incarnate, will never participate in any war, because they clearly
understand that life is sacred and acting voluntarily in order to cause
the death of other people, for whatever reason, is an act that goes
4 TH LAW: THE LAW OF LOVE
And if someone is attacked, and through acting in self defence, ends
up killing their attacker, or for example, in the case of when the
attacker tries to harm some children and the only way to protect them
is by killing the aggressor?
Look, in the spiritual world the deeds themselves are not so important
as such, but rather the intention with which they are carried out. The
person who has no intention of killing but who wishes to stop the
aggressor from killing, cannot be judged in the same way as someone
who right from the beginning has every intention of killing. They will do
everything possible to avoid harm without causing even more harm
themselves. But this is not the case with people who go to war. When
people go to war, they know perfectly well that at some point they will
be in a position to kill another human being and to die. The followers of
the law of love, who claim to believe in God, will never enlist in an
army voluntarily to go and kill their incarnate brothers and sisters on the
opposing side, because no idea, no belief is sufficiently noble to justify
killing other brothers and sisters.
But it is also true that many people are recruited and are obliged to go
to the front line against their will. What would you say in this case?
Well that it is a fairly difficult test for those people, because they are
caught between a rock and a hard place. But you know that these
circumstances do not happen by chance, and the fact that they find
themselves in this frame of mind is probably because in another life
