Prayer: (Matthew) Let’s place ourselves in the presence of [[Jesus]], the Christ.

The element, for instance, of this as a religious [[war]] is almost innate to your human [[thought]] processes and it so far removed from the reality which we have come to impart. This is not a religious war. The only religious battle you have is the good fight of [[faith]], as you have been told, and the faith that you have has nothing to do with tenets or [[belief]] systems. It has to do with the living fiber of your [[being]]. The living fiber of your being is that which we are attempting to draw forth and to exalt as an element of [[divinity]].

It is fruitless, therefore, to [[compare]] yourself to those who are the physical [[warriors]] embattled on the plain of [[terra firma]] for [[political science]]. It is also fruitless to [[expect]] you to disassociate yourself from those thoughts and concerns which are a natural part of any human being’s conscious awareness of his fellow men, women and children. The message that you have been given is to continue to seek for [[peace]] within yourself and to spread [[joy]] in your arena. And to some ears this is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna Pollyanna]-type message that implies an indifference to the concerns which impress you and press upon you in light of these circumstances.

The lesson last week, indeed, made reference to the sparrow and the flock of birds that gathered [[together]] and stayed together, in each other’s company, for better or for worse, since within that flock they were able to speak the same [[language]], sing the same [[song]]. They understood when one flew away to follow, just as in the [[migrating]] season the geese provides a lead goose to follow. And thus there is someone to show the way and someone to take over that role when the [[time]] comes, so that each of you - each of you geese - become part-time [[leaders]], and each of you sparrows are [[comforted]] by the company you each provide each other.

ANATOLIA: Best wishes to each and all this fine day in April, here in your world, as you know it. This is a bright and marvelous day which is similar to that which you heard in [[church]] this [[morning]] in terms of ‘what else is new’ here in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Mexico New Mexico], for most days are bright, cheerful and clear with the occasional disruption in your [[cycle]] to all but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_worship sun worship]. It’s a bright, clear and worthwhile experience to be in this environment and, to a large extent, one that is a [[blessing]] and a gift. There are many throughout your immediate [[circumference]] within this hemisphere who have [[weather]] difficulties – [[extreme]] one way or another—and while you might say that your conditions are extreme as well, for the most part there is cheerfulness, brightness and many positives that you face.

This is also the case with geopolitical or [[political]] conditions as they exist throughout the world. Presently your conditions have overridden, or zoomed past those of other individuals throughout the world. There is an [[equalization]] that will take place that will bring forth primarily an awareness of the [[equality]] of [[humanity]] regardless of which corner of the globe they inhabit. A superiority by [[nature]], one society over or versus another, will not prevail will not prevail in this new form of being.

TOMAS: I am happy to [[counsel]] you in order for you to have [[clarity]]; however clarity in situations like this could be likened to winning the battle but not the war itself, for each day will bring you a new [[vision]] of the [[atrocities]] and inhumanities, as well as another [[opportunity]] to reroute your mind-set to reinforce the [[vision]] of [[change]] in bringing about a state wherein the [[meek]] truly inherit the earth.

The resounding response from across the globe for [[peace]] and against this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_iraq surgical procedure in the Middle East] is a reflection of the sparrows world-wide. While they may indeed flutter and fly off when they are frightened, they continue to return to [[earth]] for their sustenance and to [[sing]] in [[joy]]. This will be the pattern for you for a while because of the current [[events]], but in time the [[conflict]] will burn itself out and, yes, while there will be much reconstruction required, you will have already been reconstructing with your fellows the pattern of peace-keeping in your own yard, in your own realm. And this is more [[contagious]] than the impetus to fight, for it is founded on [[love]]: love for humanity, love for those qualities of [[peace]]—[[truth, beauty, and goodness]]—which are held in the heart of all these seedlings.

It is difficult to restrain your eye from the [[violence]] and the carnage, but if you were to enhance your [[vision]] to [[embrace]] these many others who join with you in their hearts and minds in the [[desire]] to live a [[righteous]] life in peace with your fellows, to raise your crops, to raise your children, to [[worship]] and to [[work]], to sing and to enjoy the fruits of your labors, you will have grown a mass of [[humanity]]—as if you were the blood cells that rushed to the wound to enable it to [[heal]] more quickly.
