Angels, mosque at ground zero and 9/11
I have recently written a series of posts about the controversy about building a mosque in NYC on my beliefnet blog. For some reason this issue has engaged me. Here is a video blog post. I have a feeling I may have a lot more to say about this topic and I am not really sure why.
What do angels, mosque at ground zero and 9/11have in common? From the comments and e mails I have been getting very few people chose to look at the issue through the eyes of the angels, nor have they asked the angels how else they can see these events.
It was interesting to me. I actually found myself getting rather upset with people’s judgments and of course that meant I was judging them for judging! I view every event in life as opportunity to either deepen my connection to my filter system or to deepen my connection to my spirit. My emotions are a clear indication which direction I am going. Joy, love, acceptance indicate I am getting closer to my spirit. Fear, judgment and anger show me I am reinforcing my limiting beliefs and deepening my connection to my filer system.
At the end of World War II we had an awesome opportunity to collectively, as a species ask ourselves what environment made that war possible. Instead of asking what created such prejudice and hatred that Hitler was able to come to power instead we perpetuated judgment. When 9/11 happened we did the same thing. Instead of saying, ‘um look at the world judgment creates’ we decided to resort to violence and perpetuate judgment.
We will never ever create peace with violence, NEVER. By reaching out with love we could change the world. Instead of Christians against Muslims we could learn to honor each other’s beliefs and extend love instead of judgment. That is what angels would do.
Perhaps we could learn to worship together rather than create enemies with our judgment. What a concept create friends instead of enemies!
I was once going to write a book called Irreconcilable Similarities. If we look long enough we will find the similarities, see they are clouded by our judgment and then we can create cooperation and peace.
But no, it would seem we would rather be right than be happy, almost every time. Our judgment is responsible for 9/11, after all that is what created the terrorists in the first place.
With love and aloha,
