While people appear to love fighting, blaming and wars, there is significant ammount of trauma, loss of money, power, facilities, relationships etc. with war which can lower development for years , make anation cope with depression economically and emotionally . The trauma of sodiers is the most, with families devastated and welfare does not increase for anyone involved, as explained below in this blog.
· The making of a soldier
Boys are introduced to games which involve mock violence
from childhood, whether it is playing with toy guns or the mock destruction
they enjoy in video games. In several families, boys are laughed at when they
take interest in activities such as cooking or doll play.
They are expected to get impressed by competitive games,
technology and mechanization.
The army, the air force and the sea planes have the latest
machines. The already conditioned boys are excited at the thought of playing
with the real machines, as Dev was.
Simultaneously, soldiers are glorified as the heroes of the
nation. Symbols of wars won are resurrected constantly by the government,
schools and media (television, radio, newspapers etc.). There are Independence
Day celebrations, national anthems, the flag, television shoes on heroes who
died for the country’s freedom etc.
Young men join the soldier’s profession because of the
prestige and adventure attached to it, other than the fact that it is a
government job and promises a secure income. They are into the job
before they realize they would be taking a burden on their consciousness, when
they have to kill on somebody else’s orders.
The soul feels suppressed, not glorified when its
incarnated physical form gets coerced into devolving to its animal instincts of
killing for survival instead of raising its consciousness to rise above
violence as a means of livelihood.
That the soldier suffers mental anguish is evident
from the fact that soldiers who come back from war often suffer from
depression. A normal life does not seem normal to them.
· Mental anguish of a soldier
Once in the job, the soldier usually, continues the job
because of the need for a regular income to provide for himself and his family.
But, from the perspective of human justice, the salary which
the soldier is paid is hardly sufficient compensation for the internal mental
anguish he goes through and the negative karma he incurs by killing other
souls.
A soldier kills to earn bread for his family or to protect
civilians from outsiders.
Yet, it is the soldier’s soul who pays the karmic debt, not
the souls of people whom he kills for.
The soldier’s family does not take responsibility for
the soldier’s decision to kill. But, it does take its share in his earnings .If
we were to ask the family he provides for or the civilians he protects,
whether if need be, they would be ready to go in his place and kill, we would
usually get a negative answer .
By giving money or medals, does it become justified to
expect the soldier to take the burden of killing on his consciousness? Does his
family or his country or his fellow beings need him to sacrifice his
consciousness to feel better themselves.
Finally, it is the soldier losing out, not the people
ordering the war.
As discussed in my other books, soul evolution essentially
involves development of intellectual and emotional capabilities of human beings
so that they contribute to better the overall Developmental Process of
Creation with their effort. Each soul is like a cell in the body of the
Creator, made of the same consciousness of energy as the Creator.
Soul evolution cannot happen if each cell of the body fights
against the other or if souls let their energies get wasted by contributing to
destruction.
Our wars, which are so heavily discussed in our history
books, films and folk tales, have hampered soul evolution because of several
reasons -
· War used force to suppress people’s
rational thinking. Therefore, they discouraged logical deduction of thought in
human beings. Mis-use of strength encouraged short-cut methods of dealing with
problems, which did not lead to long term solutions which demanded an expansion
of human consciousness above the need to compete.
· Because of wars, power got
transferred to physical strength rather than intellect. Developing the body
became more important than developing the mind.
· Soul evolution became secondary to
external display of power or success. Values like inner satisfaction and
developing innate soul qualities were sacrificed as material display of
happiness became dependent on display of power of wealth or beauty rather than
evolution towards a higher level of internal peace and happiness.
o That the wealthy or the well- dressed were not happier people was
ignored as too complicated an issue to resolve since focus was on amassing
goods instead of creating internal peace.
o Because of the resource scarcity which wars created, people experienced
periods of extreme deprivation. Hence, human focus shifted to buying goods and
saving money as if an emergency would strike anytime and we would run out of
resources. The natural law of abundance was denied existence as everyone fought
for survival.
o The soldier consciousness was so instilled that people lived for working
rather than working for living.
o The need for emotional training which is necessary to understand the
soul needs and live happily was side-lined. We became anxious, depressed and
diseased as a human race by focusing on external short-term pleasures like
eating pizzas and watching films to de-stress which did not provide adequate
relief to anguished souls.
o Large amounts of human resources were used up in funding armies which
could have been used for improving thinking abilities to prevent the wars.
· Material gains are meant to be used
for emotional betterment, but they do not always do so. If we rule
out amassing material victories as a criterion, what measures do we have by
which benefits or losses of historical wars on the happiness of human beings could
be measured?
· Wars led to taking away free will of
human beings and created negative Karma for the oppressors and victims (who
became subsequent oppressors) on a large-scale, the effects of which had to be
borne by several future life-times.
Spiritual messages come in the simplest of words. From the
soul’s perspective of evolution, individual upliftment is supposed to reduce
feeling pressured or compromised.
For a soul, it is futile to achieve success, if it increases
focus on problems and reduces focus on happiness.
Our effort towards work is justified only if it helps to
increase the average levels of peace and happiness in our lives so that our
positive soul frequency rises.
