The world needs love

We are deeply hurt by the suffering that wars inflict on our brothers and sisters in humanity. But what can we do, in everyday life, to bring peace to the planet? [1]
Let us first become aware that “the accumulation of thoughts of anger, hatred and destruction, however secret they may be, creates an invisible, destructive cloud…”. This current of mental violence has consequences at the collective level: “The wars that drench the Earth in blood have their roots in thoughts of hatred that have been sown for centuries, even millennia.” (Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 71)
Fortunately, thoughts of love, for their part, feed the currents that can “neutralise the waves of thoughts of hatred” and open up new perspectives. [2]

“Our thoughts create the state of the world.”

We must therefore take full responsibility for our thoughts and their consequences: [3]
– Let us remain inwardly vigilant:

“If you want to be apostles of peace, says Lord HAMSAH MANARAH, begin first within yourselves by refraining from any thought of hatred and by transmuting all those that may have escaped you.”

(Vers un Age d’Or d’Unité, p. 557) [4]
– Let us act in a spirit of solidarity, without discrimination, to help those who suffer.
– Let us express a little more compassion each day and send out altruistic thoughts. It is a golden key that lightens the present and prepares a better future, both for oneself and for humanity:

“Souls need love to come out of hatred.” [5]
