State of Union - Israel and Palestine

From March 20, 2013
A recent documentary that I watched about the current state of tensions in Israel-Palestine got me thinking about the inner state of that Promised Land. Is that land still divided within? Where are the divisions? What requires healing within me? What will create peace and harmony within? I know that peace is growing because I see continually expanding evidence of it in the number of individuals creating it (e.g. Israel-loves-Iran and Palestine-loves-Israel movements).

The state of union moves ever closer and, as it does, unleashes the fury of the resistance, long-entrenched, believing it is its right to be there at all costs.

Resistance comes from deep fear, for in the moment these elements stop resisting, there exists the possibility that they might stop existing. That is what currently defines their (meaning the fears, the anger) existence.

In your own heart must there be a place for the resistors, for their existence is at stake. The Love in the heart, the strength of the Light, must be strong enough to assuage the resistors. They held sway over the entire heart at one time and are reluctant to let that territory go. They are uncomfortable in the Light because they don’t know what it’s going to do to them.

Rather than obliterate them into non-existence, resistors must be made to see their role in the Light and AS the Light.

Filled with that Light, an energy of entitlement shifts to one of co-existence. The energy hasn’t disappeared. It has merely been allowed to see the other end of its energetic spectrum, to see the positive itself of itself, of that quality that it carries.

Fear of disappearance, fear of no longer existing, fear of a dream dying…those are the energies that also need to be transmuted to the other end of their spectrum. Fear of a dream dying may become the beauty and excitement of a new dream envisioned today, not driven by ideas of the past but by possibilities of the future.

Look within for a moment and stop thinking about the Israelis and Palestinians. What is occurring at the moment on a macro scale has some root and meaning in a micro scale with you. Ask yourself: what are you defending without second thought? What benefit is there to remaining divided?

...Control is certainly easier. With it, there is perhaps guaranteed outcomes. There’s no need to grow or expand. You’re entrenched in what you know, thinking it’s enough. Rigidity sets in. Inflexibility. You justify the occupation of the heart in so many ways.

But then love arises.

What swings to one extreme naturally swings to another until harmony is found. Love and harmony must fill the land. They must be strong enough to withstand the acid attacks of the deepest fears manifesting as righteousness.

That work only you can do. Strengthening the land, inundating the terrain with Light and entrenching it there, IS YOUR work.

And then, on its own, fear will come into its harmony. It cannot withstand the magnetic pull of the energy of Love radiating itself in the heart. Fear will find its Light despite itself. It will see its Divinity.

And you will know peace.
