❓ THE QUESTION:
I witnessed the conflict in Ukraine as early as 2013. I was deeply unsettled by the sight of language-based violence... What am I to do when my reality is shaped by a force that perpetually seeks dominance and its own exceptionalism? How should I respond to this, if not by wanting to destroy it? Yet that only breeds endless war...
❗️ LEE'S ANSWER:
You are echoing the theme of your own negative orientation. Negative orientation is rooted in the concept of SEPARATION. It begins with the idea that "I am separate from the Source," followed by "others are separate from the Source," and culminates in "we are all separate from one another."
Separation is the antithesis of Love—the positive, unifying force.
The Source and I are One. Other people are One. We are all One.
Images are manufactured and ideologies are devised under negative orientation as a means of controlling the masses. Negative orientation creates an ego loop—an individual perceives confirmation of their biases and becomes willing to justify any act of violence "for the greater good." But what "good" can truly exist behind violence? Look around you: if not this current war with its millions of casualties, then hundreds of other past and present conflicts—has this "good" ever actually arrived through violence? Who truly benefits from it? When, where, and for whom?
Upon closer inspection, the citizens of any nation desire exactly what those of another desire. There is no fundamental difference between the people of various countries. They are simply told—"those people in that other country are wrong, and once we eliminate them, we will finally live in peace and prosperity."
However, this approach never succeeds as long as people label others as a "country" while identifying their own being with their own nation. When their nation acts against another, a reflexive urge arises to justify the government's actions, as if those actions are the personal responsibility of every citizen.
Consider the logic of this manipulation—if you were, for instance, Iranian, you would feel it only logical to defend Iran's conduct, much like a person justifies the actions of a child or a parent. It stems from a sense of "kinship."
This psychological lever is well understood by those who manipulate the collective consciousness.
If you can grasp the core principle of this manipulation, you are ready for the next step—recognizing that every human being simply seeks basic well-being for those around them: warmth, shelter, food, and comfort.
The step after that is the realization that WE ARE ALL THE SAME.
Then comes the final realization—We are One.
But there is a foundational step, step zero—acknowledging that I am not separate from the Source.
Those who take this step gain access to all the others. Those who reject this fundamental truth will remain trapped within the cycle of manipulation.
I have now provided a comprehensive answer to your question.
