A Course in Miracles has much to say on this subject:
No one is strong who has an enemy, and no one can attack unless he thinks he has. Belief in enemies is therefore the belief in weakness,
and what is weak is not the Will of God.

Iamthat,

Very nice posting….thank you. Refreshing to seea spiritual approach to this topic. I would like to think that living at peace would be a universal desire……that desire competes against the desires of the ego….to be recognized as being right. Obviously we see that the direction of the thread is to justify separation from others for multiple reasons. We are called to be “doctors” but apparently we do not want as patients the ones that are sick…….

I like this, for me it was forgiveness of the enemy, and love self to accept. I can honestly say I forgive my abuser, the darkness got him, and I found the light and took it with me through darkness to face my shadow enemies, those that inflicted pain on my soul, i embraced this and surrounded my love of light and consumed the darkness which I had kept buried in shadow.

When Alexander The Great sacked India he went to a temple and threatened a Mahatma who was there; telling him “if you do not show me where the gold is I will kill you.” The Mahatma replied, I did not know I had the power to make you kill me.

Its’ all in our perception.:smile:

Hello everyone, I give you here a draft, an awareness, a feeling on this subject...

Everything you hate, loathe, love is activated from a source imprinted within. If it’s not imprinted in your being, what might it all become?

Until you uncover in yourself it’s hard to know..

So is it an awareness or is it open and a clear feeling in you?

It requires all of you to live and be it..

Loving your enemy...... Keep your friends close, your enemies closer.

I don't really have Enemy's when I was growing up and the same can be said of now, if anyone caused me harm or upset I would do nothing but within days
something would come to them call it Karma or whatever you want.


Namaste
