As much of the world contemplates the looming threat of Iran on Israel, it is an opportunity to consider how every aspect of our lives is governed by nature’s laws that ultimately develop us all to more unified states, and within that framework lies the power to influence the course of events. Doing so depends on our collective will to rise above our individual divisive egos and unite, tapping into the very force of nature that orchestrates life.
The question then arises as to whether we should focus on specific actions or simply strive for a broader sense of connection. My answer? We should connect among all people who are capable of reprioritizing their inbuilt desires aimed solely at self-benefit to an opposite intention to benefit others. By doing so, we will then feel an increased sense of urgency so that we unite above the ego and attain this elevated, harmonious and peaceful state.
While it is no secret that the existential threat hovering over Israel disturbs many people, especially, of course, those living in Israel, it might not be so obvious that such a feeling is in fact positive. How could widespread fear and concern for a nation’s existence possibly be positive? First and foremost, it is because behind the various world leaders, governments, militaries and other decision-makers we perceive with our corporeal vision, there is a much more comprehensive and complete law of nature operating behind the scenes, gradually evolving us all to a higher unified state of existence, according to its own agenda.
Therefore, if this law of nature now determines that there needs to be widespread concern as a means for guiding humanity to a much better, unified and peaceful state—to bring us all closer together—then we would be wise to relate to this threat productively. How do we relate to an existential threat productively? It is by applying our own positive pressure to generate an atmosphere of mutual support, encouragement and care upon what surfaces in us as a feeling of negative pressure.
By using the current existential threat as a means to revise and reinvigorate our connection to each other, we then make a correct use of this pressure. In other words, what most people relate to as threats with fear and concern, I relate to as invitations, awakenings and opportunities for us to align ourselves with nature’s laws, to evolve human consciousness to match the sublime unity that dwells in nature above our primitive divisive drives.
What, then, can we do in this moment of fear and uncertainty? We can strive to break free from the shackles of our divisive egos by coming together in prayer and in solidarity, with the confidence that our collective wish has the power to move mountains. So let us hold onto such hope and strive for a better tomorrow. Together, we can overcome any obstacle, and forge a path to a harmonious and peaceful world.
