Von der Mentalität des Kriegsraums zur Mentalität des Friedensraums

Sowjetisch-amerikanische Friedensdialoge
Vision von Ramah Vernon während der letzten Phase des Kalten Krieges 1988

Oberster General des sowjetischen Militärs in Begleitung von 16 Militärangehörigen	Dr. Victor Vernon Woolf Holodynamics begleitet von Barbara Marx Hubbard und zwei Pastoren
Die lineare Kriegsmentalität hat keine Lösungen zu bieten.	Die nichtlineare Friedensmentalität bietet Lösungswege für sich entfaltendes Potential.
*Krieg ist unvermeidlich!* [schreiend, mit der Faust pochend – russisch sprechend, übersetzt ins Englische]	Krieg ist nicht unvermeidlich! Unvermeidlich ist, Herr, dass sich das Potential des Lebens entfaltet wird. Und Ihre moralische und ethische Verantwortung, Herr, ist, sich selbst, Ihren Kameraden, Ihren Familien, Ihrem Land, Ihrem ganzen Land zu helfen, Teil der Familie der Nationen zu werden, die mithelfen, dass sich dieses Potential entfaltet, Herr! [Umschaltung auf den russischen Modus – lauter schreiend, fester mit den Fäusten pochend]
Der russische General schaut Woolf verwundert an. _____________________________________________ Er bricht in Gelächter aus. [Der Bann der Kriegsmentalität ist gebrochen.]	Woolf schaute den General an, lächelte und zwinkerte mit den Augen.
*Ach ja. Doch wie entfaltet man dieses Potential?* [Englisch sprechend]	*Nun können wir uns über diese Dinge unterhalten.* [erfreut]
*Russland braucht unbedingt und vordringlich die Integration des ganzen dynamischen Wissens.* 1990-91 wurde der Sowjet-Kommunismus friedlich aufgegeben.	Woolf wurde eingeladen, mit 14 sowjetischen Akademien zu arbeiten, die nach der stillen Auflösung des Kommunismus während der Übergangsperiode Russlands in den 90-iger Jahren von den Ministerien eingerichtet wurden. Er unterstützte sie neun Jahre lang und trainierte mehrere hundert Holodynamics Lehrer in Russland.

Woolf und der General wurden gute Freunde und blieben es auf Lebenszeit.

Mut als Konfliktlöser

DAS ENDE DES KRIEGS

"Meine Augen brannten und während ich rannte und ein Polizist hinter mir herlief, hörte ich dieses laute, scharfe Geräusch. Sie feuerten in die Menge. Ich dachte, ich müsse sterben.

Plötzlich wurde ich sehr ruhig. Ich wollte nicht mehr weglau-
fen, also wurde ich langsamer. Und der Polizist rannte an mir vorbei und verfolgte jemand anderen. Wenn ich sterben sollte, dann würde ich es mit Würde tun, bewusst und so begann ich sehr langsam die Straße wieder hinaufzugehen, den Schüssen entgegen. Alle anderen liefen weg. Um mich herum gab es nur Panik und Bewegung, aber ich war die Ruhe im Zentrum. Ich ging geradewegs auf einen der Soldaten zu, die auf uns feuerten und sah ihn nur an, sah in seine Augen. Ich wollte sehen, wer es war, der mich töten würde."

Maya sah sich im Kreis um. Aber keiner rührte sich.
"Er war jung und ungefähr in meinem Alter.
Seine Augen waren braun, wie meine, und ich sah, dass er Angst hatte, so wie ich auch Angst hatte.
Wir waren beide gleich. Plötzlich wusste ich das, und er wusste es auch.
Ich konnte es in seinem Gesicht erkennen. Seine Hände zitterten und er nahm das Gewehr herunter.
Da wusste ich, was wirklich einen Krieg beenden würde."

Konfliktstrategien anhand des Gefangenendilemmas – Robert Axelrod

Jesus: Siehe, ich sende euch wie Schafe mitten unter die Wölfe;
darum seid klug wie die Schlangen und ohne Falsch wie die Tauben.
Matthäus 10, 16 und Paulus, 1. Korinther 14, 20 (NT)

Anhand eines Computerspiels mit der Bezeichnung Gefangenendilemma hat der amerikanische Politikwissenschaftler Robert Axelrod nachhaltig mehrere aktive Prinzipien des Wettbewerbs und der Zusammenarbeit nachgewiesen.
Axelrod und seine Forscherkollegen stellten fest, dass die dienlichste Spielstrategie "Retourkutschen mit Vergebung" sind. Die gewinnbringendste Verhaltensweise für alle Beteiligten ist die Kreuzung der moralischen Maßgaben "Auge um Auge"
und Versöhnlichkeit. Andere zu verraten und sich hinterlistig zu verhalten, hat langfristig niemals zum Sieg im Spiel ver-
holfen. Axelrod bestätigt das Erziehungsprinzip, den widerspenstigen Hund unverzüglich zu züchtigen.

In Bezug auf das Gefangenendilemma fand Robert Axelrod heraus, dass erfolgreiche "Gefangene", die vor dem Dilemma stehen, ihren Gegner "zu verraten oder mit ihm zu kooperieren", sich für das Wohl aller Beteiligten entscheiden, sich freundlich verhalten, ihre Angreifer sofort (kurz) zurechtzuweisen, ihnen vergeben und andere nicht zu beneiden.

Gefangenendilemma – Dienlicher Umgang mit Konflikten mit vielen unbekannten Elementen

༺༻	Günstige Strategie	Beschreibung	Biblischer Leitsatz
1.	Sei freundlich. WICHTIGSTE EMPFEHLUNG	Verrate (hintergehe) nicht, ehe deine Mitspieler/Gegner es tun. Hüte dich vor Präventivschlägen!	Seid friedsam wie die Tauben. Matthäus 10, 16
2.	Vergelte Schläge bei Bedarf so früh und so eindeutig wie möglich.	Es nicht dienlich, mit "fiesen" Mitspielern/ Gegnern, die wiederholt skrupellos ausbeuten, zu kooperieren.	Seid klug wie die Schlangen. Matthäus 10, 16
3.	Vergib deinen Mitspielern/Gegnern, sobald sie wieder fair spielen.	Das erspart allen Beteiligten lang anhaltende Phasen der Rache und Gegenrache.	Vergebe nicht siebenmal, sondern siebzigmal siebenmal. Matthäus 18, 21
4.	Sei nicht erfolgshungrig, habgierig oder neidisch auf andere.	Strebe nicht danach, deine Mitspieler/Gegner zu übertrumpfen, mehr Punkte als sie zu machen.	Durch ihre Gier werden die Treulosen gefangen. Sprüche 11, 6

Konfliktbearbeitung nach dem Harvard-Konzept

Das Harvard-Konzept ist eine Verhandlungsmethode, die den größtmöglichen beidseitigen Nutzen anstrebt. Neben der sachlichen Übereinkunft soll die persönliche Beziehung gewahrt bleiben. Es wird darauf geachtet, zwischen zwei Ebenen der Kommunikation unterschieden:

Sachinhalt (Sachliche Ebene – dem Thema der anzustrebenden Übereinkunft) und
Verhandlungsführung (der Meta-Ebene). Auf beiden Ebenen dreht es sich um vier wesentliche Verhandlungs-Kriterien:
1. Menschen und ihre Interessen (Sachliche Anliegen / Bedürfnisse) voneinander unterscheiden
2. Sich auf die Interessen der Beteiligten, nicht auf ihre Positionen konzentrieren
3. Entscheidungsoptionen (Auswahlmöglichkeiten) entwickeln
4. Objektive Beurteilungskriterien (gesetzliche Regelungen, ethische Normen usw.) beachten

Wenn aber dein Bruder wider dich sündigt, so gehe hin, überführe ihn zwischen dir und ihm allein.
Wenn er auf dich hört, so hast du deinen Bruder gewonnen. Wenn er aber nicht hört, so nimm noch
einen oder zwei mit dir, damit aus zweier oder dreier Zeugen Mund jede Sache bestätigt werde. Wenn
er aber nicht auf sie hören wird, so sage es der Versammlung; wenn er aber auch auf die Versammlung
nicht hören wird, so sei er dir wie der Heide und der Zöllner. Matthäus 18:15-17 (NT)

Liebt eure Feinde und tut denen Gutes, die euch hassen. Jesus, Lukas 6, 27 (NT)

Teilnehmeraussage über den TRT-(Söhnungs)Prozess (to reflect and trust) nach einem Erzähl-Treffen mit jüdischstäm-
migen, deutschstämmigen und palästinensischen Teilnehmern

Ich bin mehr denn je davon überzeugt, dass etwas schon Magisches geschieht, wenn sich Individuen, die auf entgegengesetzten Seiten eines von Politik und Ge-
sellschaft angeheizten Konflikt stehen, offen, ehrlich und mitfühlend begegnen. [...] Man hört nicht nur den Geschichten der ›anderen Seite‹ zu und lernt daraus, es gibt auch sehr viel bessere Heilungsmöglichkeiten als wenn man nur den Erzählun-
gen solcher Menschen zuhört, die dieselbe Geschichte haben wie man selbst. Die gegenseitige Unterstützung in diesem Lernprozess hat sich als außerordentlich hilfreich erwiesen und ist vielleicht die einzige Möglichkeit, um eine Weitergabe des Traumas an die nachfolgenden Generationen zu verhindern.

Öffentlicher Appell

Gesellschaftlicher Wandel wird sich erst einstellen, wenn die Menschen über Wirkmacht verfügen. Er erfordert einen neuen Ausdruck von Macht, eine friedsame Form von Macht. Nicht nur mangelnde Empathie lässt Konflikte und Leiden weiterhin bestehen, sondern auch die fehlende Wirkmacht, insbesondere die friedliche [nicht-raubtierhafte] Macht und Zivilcourage. Wir brauchen nicht nur Empathie, um die Welt zu verändern, sondern auch empathische, mitfühlende Menschen mit Heldenmut, die Situationen, wo gelitten wird, thematisieren und obendrein eine Form von Macht anwenden, die Veränderung auslöst, indem sie Menschen zur Rechenschaft zieht, ohne selbst missbräuch-
lich zu agieren. Wir brauchen mehr als nur Empathie, und mehr denn je brauchen wir empfindungsstarke, mitfühlende Einzelne, die Wirkmacht und Zivilcourage entwickeln, um solchen Konfliktherden zu Leibe zu rücken. Andernfalls neh-
men lediglich Tyrannen und Soziopathen Machtstellungen ein.

Einsichten

Wir hassen in anderen, seien es Einzelpersonen oder Völker, nur das, was wir in uns selbst nicht annehmen können. […] Wir benötigen unsere Feinde zur eigenen Vervollständigung. […]
Je weniger wir uns bedroht fühlen, um so eher betrachten wir unsere ehemaligen "Feinde" als "Gegner." Mit den er-
sten Anzeichen positiver gegenseitiger Wertschätzung werden "Gegner" zu "Rivalen", indem jeder den anderen als heimlichen Lehrer anerkennt. Wenn "Rivalen" schließlich ihre wechselseitige Abhängigkeit bestätigen, würdigen sie sich als "Partner." […]
Wir werden über den weltweiten Bürgerkrieg hinauswachsen müssen, nicht indem wir uns angesichts eines neuen Feindes mit unseren ehemaligen Feinden verbünden, sondern indem wir uns ausgiebig über unsere Gegner erkundi-
gen, um deren Verschiedenheit, die uns bei unseren ersten hautnahen Begegnungen so verängstigt und verärgert hat, mit Nachsicht zu begegnen. Dr. Robert W.

Ostereier aus Tschechien

Konflikte sind kein Spiel, das man gewinnt oder veliert, sondern sie bestehen oft in einem Kampf ums Überleben, Wohlergehen, Frei-
heit, Identität, das heißt um die Erfüllung der menschlichen Grund-
bedürfnisse […]. Konflikte berühren den ganzen Menschen: seine Gefühle und Gedanken. Sie verlangen alles von uns. Wenn wir nicht unser Äußerstes versuchen, können sich die Gefühle in Gewalttaten entladen und in Form verbaler Gewalt, physischer Gewalt oder beider die Erfüllung der Grundbedürfnisse anderer verhindern.

Die wirkliche Auseinandersetzung unserer Zeit ereignet sich nicht zwischen Religionen und auch nicht zwischen ISIS und den westlichen Ländern [und Russland].
Die wahre Auseinandersetzung unserer Zeit ereignet sich zwischen den Kräften des "Absencing" [Ökonomien der Angst und Zerstörung] und den Kräften des "Presencing" [Ökonomien des Mutes und des Aufbaus].

Der Kommunismus wurde nicht durch Krieg besiegt, sondern durch die Gewaltlosigkeit von Gorbatschow.
⚡ Dr. David R. Hawkins, Das All-sehende Auge, Kapitel 4, S. 81, 2005

Der Kommunismus in der UdSSR fiel ohne einen Schuss in sich zusammen. Er wurde nicht "besiegt" durch einen "Krieg gegen das Böse", sondern gerade durch das Auftauchen des Gegenteils davon. Evolution ergibt sich nicht dadurch, dass man das Negative unterdrückt, sondern indem man das Positive wählt und hochhält. Das wurde auch durch die friedliche Annäherung von Nord- und Südkorea demonstriert.

Konflikt zwischen den unterschiedlichen Ebenen der Energiefelder beeinflusst die daraus resultierenden Klassen-
kämpfe und die Zusammenstöße in der Gesellschaft mit all ihren politischen Standpunkten. […] Auf den höheren Ebenen werden Konflikte durch Verständnis, Mitgefühl und Erkenntnis gelöst, während sie auf den niedrigeren

Zitate von General Sunzi – Kriegskunst

Die Kunst des Krieges ist für den Staat von entscheidender Bedeutung. Sie ist eine Angelegenheit von Leben und Tod, eine Straße, die zur Sicherheit oder in den Untergang führt. Deshalb darf sie unter keinen Umständen vernachlässigt werden. Sunzi [Sun Tsu] (544-~496 v. Chr.) altchinesischer General, Militärstratege, Philosoph, Die Kunst des Krieges, Einlei-
tungssatz, PDF, 6. Jht. v. Chr., Nikol Verlag, Januar 2008

Dein großes Ziel im Krieg soll der Sieg sein und kein langwieriger Feldzug. So kann es heißen, dass der Anführer der Armeen der Schiedsrichter über das Schicksal des Volkes ist. Der Mann, von dem es abhängt, ob die Nation in Frie-
den oder in Gefahr lebt. Sunzi [Sun Tsu] (544-~496 v. Chr.) altchinesischer General, Militärstratege, Philosoph, Die Kunst des Krieges, PDF, 6. Jht. v. Chr., Nikol Verlag, Januar 2008

Wenn du den Feind und dich selbst kennst, brauchst du den Ausgang von hundert Schlachten nicht zu fürchten.
Wenn du dich selbst kennst, doch nicht den Feind, wirst du für jeden Sieg, den du erringst, eine Niederlage erleiden.
Wenn du weder den Feind noch dich selbst kennst, wirst du in jeder Schlacht unterliegen. Sunzi [Sun Tsu] (544-~496
v. Chr.) altchinesischer General, Militärstratege, Philosoph, Die Kunst des Krieges, PDF, 6. Jht. v. Chr., Nikol Verlag, Januar 2008

General quotes

Jesus: But I say unto you,
Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them who despitefully use you, and persecute you.
Matthew 5, 44 (NT) King James Bible, 2003

And a man's enemies will be the members of his household. Matthew 10, 36 (NT) Aramaic Bible in plain English

Personal avowals

At 15, I set my heart on learning.
At 30 I had planted my feet firmly on the ground.
At 40, I was never led astray from my goal.
At 50, I knew the will of heaven.
At 60, I heard the bidding of heaven with a docile ear.
At 70, I could do as my heart pleased, for what I desired no longer conflicted with the will of heaven.
Confucius (551-479 BC) Chinese sage, social philosopher, sponsor of Confucianism, the Chinese state religion, Analects of Confucius [Lunyu] [Selected Sayings] (475 BC-220 AD)

Question: Have you reached a point with your work with the German-Jewish dialogue that you feel somehow gives you
a more complete picture?
Answer: I think there I reached a stage of saturation; I felt I understand the problem, I know what can be achieved and
I know what can't be achieved and I know the issues and how they look in the third generation and the second genera-
tion. I also know how they affect our conflict. For me, that was a major breakthrough in my understanding: that we can't
look at the Palestinian and Israeli conflict – exactly as you can't look at the Croatian and Bosnian conflict – without un-
derstanding the other parties which were involved there in previous times. It was a very basic learning process that pre-
pared me for working on the current problem, prepared me for the pace of social processes and psychological proces-
ses, how much you can help them move but if you push too hard they backlash on you.

Recommendation

Whenever you have a clash of opposites in your being and neither will give way to the other (the bush will not be consumed and the fire will not stop), you can be certain that God is present. We dislike this experience intensely
and avoid it at any cost; but if we can endure it, the conflict-without-resolution is a direct experience of God.

Dark Side of the Psyche, Harper Collins, San Francisco, 1991, reprint edition 5. March 1993, Harper One, 9. June 2009

Conclusion

When you avoid conflict to make peace with other people, you start a war within.

Insights

No one is to be called an enemy, all are your benefactors,
and no one does you harm. You have no enemy except yourselves.

The real purpose of conflict is to generate creativity. Michael Meade Mosaicvoices.org US American storyteller, mythologist, ritualist, spokesman in the men's movement, author, Facebook comment, 10. June 2017, reissued 29. April 2018

Conflicts are not a game that you win or loose. They are often a struggle for survival, well-being, freedom, identity, which means a struggle for the fulfillment of basic human needs [...]. Conflicts affect the whole person: feelings and thoughts. They demand everything from us. If we do not try our utmost, such feelings may lead to acts of violence.
In the form of verbal abuse or physical violence, or both, they will then prevent the fulfillment of these basic needs. Johan Galtung (1930-2024) Norwegian sociologist, political scientist, mathematician, principal founder of the discipline of peace
and conflict studies, founder of Peace Research Institute Oslo, originator of the Journal of Peace Research, Konflikte und Kon-

I thought that I could win him [my angry life threateningly dangerous stallion] over through kindness, sympathy, under-
standing and bodywork. He wasn't having any of that. He actually demanded that I become powerful in order to work
with him. That also became a metaphor for me of what we're facing in our culture. The whole reason there are so ma-
ny bullies and sociopaths in power is because the empathetic, compassionate people out there in the world have not
exercised a different form of power where they can stand up to those people in a way that creates productive social
change. I realized it wasn't enough to be empathetic and understanding and compassionate. I also had to have [warm-
hearted connecting] power in order to rehabilitate this very angry abused stallion who would threaten my life. So I think
more people who are sympathetic and understanding must step in that new kind of power in order to change the world
because otherwise we will keep the bullies and sociopaths in power.

Inner conflict – the two sides within

As an organizer of conferences Jung's friend Mrs. Fröbe had asked him to comment on her great inner struggle between the demands of her career and the demands of her family. Jung pleaded to reconcile the struggle between the male [selfbased, personal, solar approach] and the female [SELF-based, impersonal, lunar approach] via patient endurance in the fire of the crucible until transformation has come about.

Crucified between opposites until the reconciling third emerges

There can be no resolution – only patient endurance – of the opposites which ultimately spring from your own nature. You yourself are a conflict that rages in itself and against itself in order to melt its incompatible substances, the male and the female, in the fire of suffering and thus create that form which is the goal of life. Everyone goes through this mill – consciously or unconsciously, voluntarily or forcibly. We are crucified between the opposites and delivered up to the torture until this reconciling third takes shape. [...]
Do not doubt the rightness of the two sides within you and let happen whatever may happen. The apparently unendu-
rable conflict of your life is proof of the rightness of your life. A life without inner contradiction is either only half a life
or a life in the beyond which is destined only for the angels. But God loves human beings more than the angels.
Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of depth
psychology, author, extracted from an extraordinary letter to Mrs. Fröbe written at age 70, 1945.

Fights between individuals, as well as between governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view. This again is due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their own, as in their mutual fields. The peril of a clash is aggravated by a more or less predominant sense of combativeness, posed by every human being. To resist this inherent fighting tendency the best way is to dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse. Nikola Tesla [(1856-1943) Serbian US American physicist, mechanical and electrical engineer, inventor, 7. January 1905; cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

No one in the world can change TRUTH! What we can do and should do is to seek truth and to serve it when we have found it. The real conflict is the inner conflict. Beyond armies of occupation and the hecatombs of extermination camps, there are two irreconcilable enemies in the depth of every soul: GOOD and evil, sin and LOVE. And what use are the victories on the battlefield if we ourselves are defeated in our innermost personal selves? Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941) German Polish Franciscan friar, martyr, saint of the Catholic Church, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

God is very quiet, for there is no conflict in Him. Conflict is the root of all evil, for being blind it does not see whom it attacks. Yet it always attacks the Son of God, and the Son of God is you.

Successful conflict resolution

Turning enemies into friends

A war is not won if the defeated enemy has not been turned into a friend.
Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) US American longshoreman philosopher, social writer, Reflections on the Human Condition, 1973, S. 127, Hopewell Publications, 8. September 2006

If we can stay with the tension of opposites long enough – sustain it, be true to it – we can sometimes become vessels within which the divine opposites come together and give birth to a new reality. Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) Swiss Jungian psychologist, scholar, author, Shadow and Evil in Fairy Tales, A C.G. Jung Foundation Book, Sham-
bhala, revised edition 7. February 1995

Jung has said that to be in a situation where there is no way out, or to be in a conflict where there is no solution,
is the classical beginning of the process of individuation. It is meant to be a situation without solution: the uncons-
cious wants the hopeless conflict in order to put ego-consciousness up against the wall, so that the man has to realise
that whatever he does is wrong, whichever way he decides will be wrong. This is meant to knock out the superiority of
the ego, which always acts from the illusion that it has the responsibility of decision. Naturally, if a man says, "Oh well,
then I shall just let everything go and make no decision, but just protract and wriggle out of [it]," the whole thing is equal-
ly wrong, for then naturally nothing happens. But if he is ethical enough to suffer to the core of his personality, then ge-
nerally because of the insolubility of the conscious situation, the Self manifests. In religious language you could say
that the situation without issue is meant to force the man to rely on an act of God. In psychological language the situ-
ation without issue, which the anima arranges with great skill in a man's life, is meant to drive him into a condition in
which he is capable of experiencing the Self. When thinking of the anima as the soul guide, we are apt to think of Bea-
trice leading Dante up to Paradise, but we should not forget that he experienced that only after he had gone through
Hell. Normally, the anima does not take a man by the hand and lead him right up to Paradise; she puts him first into
a hot cauldron where he is nicely roasted for a while. Dr. Marie-Louise von Franz (1915-1998) Swiss Jungian psychologist,
scholar, author, The Interpretation of Fairy Tales, Shambhala, revised edition, 9. July 1996

Misunderstanding as the basis of conflicts

Social change is not going to occur until people have power. And it has to be a new form of power, a non-pre-
datory form of power. It's not just a lack of empathy that causes conflicts and suffering to continue it is also a lack
of power, particularly non-predatory power and emotional heroism. Not only do we need empathy to change the
world, but we need empathetic, compassionate people with emotional heroism to walk into situations where suffe-
ring occurs and also show a form of power that effects change and holds people accountable without also beco-
ming abusive. We need more than empathy and more than ever we need sensitive, compassionate individuals to
develop the power and emotional heroism to step into these conflicts. Otherwise we just get bullies and sociopaths
in power. Audio interview with Linda Kohanov (*1950) US American riding instructor, horse trainer, speaker, author, A New

Self-deception and repression

Self-deception (repression) cannot logically exist.
It is extremely pervasive.
It is a hallmark of the healthy mind.
It is at the core of the process that generates mental illness.

Rankist dismissal of conspiracy theories:

Three fundamental relational insights of changing one's life
by Dr. David D. Burns

Stage	Insights
One	I am triggering the very behavior in the person/s I am not getting along with.
Two	I fail to see my self-deception / self-denial. I have pushed the person/s away. I am responsible for experiencing a lack of intimacy.
Three	I focus my energy on taking self-responsibility for my relationships so they may be transformed into loving ones.

Critisizing is a call for more intimacy.

The best intent of a criticizer is to make the relationship better – to increase inti-
macy. But almost everyone who hears any request for any change in attitude or behavior wants to "kill" the criticizer. Which doesn’t increase intimacy.

Practicing black love – receiving personal criticism

The Achilles' Heel of humans is our inability to handle personal criticism – espe-
cially when given by a loved one – especially when given badly. (Of course, all criti-
cism feels like it is given badly.) The discipline of love starts with the discipline of
knowing how to emotionally associate being criticized with being loved; that's the best way to make our partner feel
safe sharing her or his feelings. The discipline continues with the art and discipline of appreciating each other.

Quotes on macro conflict and war

Personal avowals

I have never encountered a difficulty that was not truly the difficulty of myself. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) Swiss psychiatrist, psychoanalyst, founder of a new school of depth psychology, author, unsourced quote

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel laureate in physics, 1921, source unknown

I hate war, as only a soldier who has lived it can, as only one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity.
⚡ Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) 34th US president (1953-1961), five-star general in the United States Army, war criminal, source unknown

(↓)

Eisenhower hated the German people as a race – intending to destroy as many of them as he could.

"God, I hate the Germans [...]."
⚡ Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) 34th US president (1953-1961), five-star general in the United States Army, war criminal, letter to his wife, September 1944, cited in: article Eisenhower's Holocaust – His Slaughter of 1.7 Million Germans, presented by the US American publication Rense.com, unknown author, 22. June 2008

Eisenhower's hatefilled racism turned into a policy of genocide. Over a million German men perished in Eisenhower's death camps facing an American orchestrated Holodomor. Countless thousands of German prisoners of war were shipped off to Britain and Siberia to serve as slave laborers for the "victors". Under International law this procedure was illegal, therefore Eisenhower issued
an order to predesignate German POWs as "Disarmed Enemy Forces" (DEF).

Killing Japanese [in WWII] didn't bother me very much at that time. [...] I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal. [...] Every soldier thinks something of the moral aspects of what he is doing. But all war
is immoral and if you let that bother you, you're not a good soldier.
Curtis E. LeMay (1906-1990) US American Air Force general, cited in: World War II Database

Recommendation

Power [aka force] concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants
are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Frederick Douglass (1818-1895) African-American states-
man, social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, cited in: Goodreads Quotable Quote

Appeal

People, I just want to say, can we all get along? Can we get along? […] We've just got to, just got to. We're all
stuck here for a while. Let's try to work it out. Let's try to work it out.
Rodney King (1965- 2012) black US American subjected to police brutality by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) on
3. March 1991, 3rd day at court 1. May 1992 on the Los Angeles riots 1992, cited in: article Jury Could Hear Rodney King Today,
presented by the US American daily newspaper The New York Times, Seth Mydans, 9. March 1993

Conclusions

We first kill people with our minds, before we kill them with weapons. Whatever the conflict, the enemy is always the destroyer. We're on God's side; they're barbaric. We're good, they're evil. War gives us a feeling of moral clarity that
we lack at other times.
Prof. Sam Keen samkeen.com (*1931) US American professor of history of religions and philosophy, Harvard University, Prince-
ton University, author, Why Peace Isn't Covered, presented by the Center for Media Literacy, Rosalind Silver, date unknown

It's our tendency to approach every problem as if it were a fight between two sides. We see it in headlines that are always using metaphors for war. It's a general atmosphere of animosity and contention that has taken over our public discourse.

Insights

An armed conflict between nations horrifies us. But the economic war is no better than an armed conflict. This is like
a surgical operation. An economic war is prolonged torture. And its ravages are no less terrible than those depicted
in the literature on war properly so called. We think nothing of the other because we are used to its deadly effects. [...]
The movement against war is sound. I pray for its success. But I cannot help the gnawing fear that the movement
will fail if it does not touch the root of all evil – man's greed. Mohandas Karamchand Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948) Indian Hindu sage, spiritual activist leader, humanitarian, lawyer, nonviolent freedom fighter, cited in: Non-Violence – The Greatest Force, presented by the US American political magazine The World Tomorrow, 5. October 1926

We know that relying solely on argument, we wandered for forty years politically in the wilderness.
We know that arguments are not enough and that political force is necessary.
Christabel Pankhurst (1880-1958) English suffragette, co-founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), strategic genius of its militant actions from exile in France (1912-1913), source unknown

Theoretically, one could imagine a situation where armed intervention at an early stage might prevent large-scale conflict. The problem is that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to predict the outcome of violence. That it will be just
is not guaranteed at the outset – it will only become clear in hindsight. The only certainty is that where there is vio-
lence, there is always and inevitably suffering. H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the

Tibet fighting back China?

Question [at the end of a public talk]: Why didn't you fight back against the Chinese?
Answer [Dalai Lama looked down, swung his feet just a bit, then looked back up at us and said with a gentle smile]: Well, war is obsolete, you know.
[After a few moments, his face grave, he said]: "Of course the mind can rationalize fighting back, but the heart, the
heart would never understand. Then you would be divided in yourself, the heart and the mind, and the war would
be inside you." H.H. 14th Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso (*1935) Tibetan monk, leader of the Gelug or "Yellow Hat" branch of Ti-

Triangular graphic representing a "hierarchy of disagreement"
Essay by Paul Graham (*1964), How to Disagree, March 2008

The psychological rule says that when an inner situation is not made conscious, it happens outside, as fate. That is to say, when the individual remains undivided [not in touch with both the light AND the dark parts of them-
selves] and does not become conscious of his inner opposite, the world must per force act out the conflict and be torn into opposing halves.

The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what
I say. Martin Buber (1878-1965) Austrian-born Jewish religious researcher and philosopher, cited in: AZ Quotes

We only hate in others – whether in individuals or whole peoples – what we cannot accept in ourselves. […]
We need our enemies in order to complete ourselves. […]
As the sense of threat diminishes, we redesignate our former "enemies" as "adversaries." With the first hint of posi-
tive mutual value, "adversaries" become "rivals," a term which acknowledges each as a secret teacher of the other.
Finally "rivals," recognizing their mutual dependency, come to see themselves as "partners." […]
We'll have to transcend global civil war not by allying ourselves with former enemies in the face of a new enemy,
but by learning enough about our adversaries to establish forbearance for the differences that have, during these
first close encounters, so scared and agitated us. Interview with Robert W. Fuller, Ph.D. robertworksfuller.com (*1936)

Understanding the origin of our "fear of the other" may lead us to the elimination of war, presented by the US American Context Institute, The Foundations Of Peace (IC#4), host David Hoffman, S. 18, autumn 1983

With even a modest diminution of fear, we re-conceive our enemies as adversaries. With a hint of mutual value, adversaries become rivals – a term acknowledging each party's role as a teacher of the other. Finally, by recogni-
zing their mutual dependency, rivals begin to see themselves as partners. By this time, comity has replaced enmity,
and incivility is out of fashion. […]
As fear subsides, and we gain confidence to protest against the indignities that befall us and apologize for those
we ourselves commit, we deny hate the hothouse required for its gestation.

Smedley Butler, a popular speaker

War is a Racket (illegal business, usually run as part of organized crime), published in 1935, describes the workings of the military industrial complex. After retiring from service he was a speaker at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists and church groups in the 1930s.
Means to keep up the racketeering of the MIC:
1. Medals,
2. Propaganda, and
3. God.
Remedies: 1. Conscript capital, industry and labor before the nation's manhood can be conscripted. 2. Restrict generals, admirals, officers, politicians, government office holders, and everyone to a total monthly income not exceeding that paid to the soldier in the trenches. 3. Allow limited plebiscite of the soldiers of the land. 4. Limit military forces to home defense purposes.

War is a racket. A racket is best described,
I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

The global empowerment of women is the essential catalyst to a warless society.

The essential catalyst for triggering, hastening, and maintaining change to a warless society – is the global empowerment of women. When women occupy roughly half of the seats of power in legislative bodies entrusted to make decisions about war and peace – whether to fight or to compromise, to contain or to conquer – men's innate urges for physically aggressive confrontation will be tempered. What will not work is token female representation – placing a few women here and there in responsible positions. This will not tip the balance against
the majority of men who are too ready to be drawn into physical struggles for domination. Only when women have
a roughly 50/50 partnership with men in fully mature, liberal democracies will the world permanently take
its fingers off the trigger. At present (2005), none of the world's democracies, let alone oligarchies or tyrannies,
have reached that fully mature point. Our most influential powers (the United States, China, France, Germany,
Great Britain, Israel, Japan, Russia), continue to be patriarchal light-years from male/female parity. […]
The female preference for choosing social stability over conflict has a second, critical benefit.

ethology, novelist, author of Women, Power, and the Biology of Peace, Questpath Publishing, 1. September 2003, The Pivotal Catalyst for Change and Longterm Stability

In a cross-cultural study sponsored by the World Bank and reported in The Journal of Economic Behavior & Organi-
zation, David Dollar, Raymond Fisman, and Roberta Gatti found that governments with more women in power
had less corruption. Swedes, who have a legislature that is roughly 45% women, grant paternity leave for fathers
and lead the world in fighting sex trafficking. […]
When the American Senate voted to support the second Iraq war, only thirteen percent of the Senators were women,
and the Senate's response speaks for itself. It is reasonable to assume that when half the individuals in a governing
body are female, the shift in preference favoring nonviolence and social stability would be pervasive in all aspects of
decision-making, not just in decisions about war and peace. Judith L.

Young human males are the most dangerous creatures.

War is caused by leaders who focus and motivate the willingness of soldiers to kill outside their group or community. Restless young males, however, do challenge the stability of all cultures. They are the single most disruptive elements in any society, and they are particularly prone to create social turmoil (and crime) when they are unmarried or unemployed and before they have children of their own. One traditional solution to "the problem of young men" across many cultures has been to put them into military service or to send them off (out of the community) to war. This keeps them occupied during the most volatile stage of their lives. Training under the discipline of older men has an additional advantage: it shapes youthful excesses into behavior acceptable for adult men.

War remains the decisive human failure.
John Kenneth Galbraith, OC (1908-2006) Canadian-American economist, Keynesian, institutionalist, leading proponent of 20th-century American liberalism, The Economics of Innocent Fraud. Truth for Our Time, Houghton Mifflin, 2004

It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion – that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples – a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions. It's a faith in other people.

Quotes on war strategies

Appeals

We are not holding a Goddamned thing. Let the Germans do that. We are advancing constantly and we are not inte-
rested in holding onto anything, except the enemy's balls. We are going to twist his balls and kick the living shit out of
him all of the time. Our basic plan of operation is to advance and to keep on advancing regardless of whether we have
to go over, under, or through the enemy. We are going to go through him like crap through a goose; like shit through a
tin horn! George S. Patton (1885-1945) US American Army officer, general during World War II, General Patton's "Speech to the Third Army" on June 5th, 1944. The eve of the Allied invasion of France, code-named "Overlord", presented by the website TonyRogers.com, 5. June 1944

General Sun Tzu: Knowing both sides doesn't guarantee winning.

知己知彼百戰不殆（知彼知己，百战不殆
If you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a thousand battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

All warfare is based on deception. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting
is the acme of skill. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The
Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

Subtle and insubstantial, the expert leaves no trace; divinely mysterious, he is inaudible. Thus he is master of his enemy's fate.
- [Variant translation] Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to
  the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.
  Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War,
  2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot will be victorious. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

A leader leads by example not by force. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

Too frequent rewards indicate that the general is at the end of his resources; too frequent punishments that he is in acute distress. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

The best victory is when the opponent surrenders of its own accord before there are any actual hostilities. [...] It is
best to win without fighting. Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher,
author, The Art of War, 2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

When the leader is morally weak and his discipline not strict, when his instructions and guidance are not enlighte-
ned, when there are no consistent rules, neighboring rulers will take advantage of this.
Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War, 2nd
century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

In all history, there is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare. Only one who knows the disastrous effects of a long war can realize the supreme importance of rapidity in bringing it to a close.
Sun Tzu (544-496 BC) ancient Chinese military general, commander, strategist, philosopher, author, The Art of War,
2nd century BC, Delacorte Press, 10. March 1983

Quotes by David R. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Many people can't transcend [level of consciousness] 200 if their life is calm. That's why many use i.e. war ("running into the bullets") to get over 200. Dr. David R. Hawkins, source unknown

Raising out of the field of conflict

See Albert Einstein's quote on problem solving.

Resolving conflicts by recontextualizing them.
Conflicts cannot be resolved at their own level but by raising them to the next higher level when awareness becomes obvious. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Hay House, February 2002

At the level of Acceptance, we are not polarized by conflict or opposition; we see that other people have the same rights as we do, and we honor equality. Dr. David R. Hawkins, Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 4 "Levels of Human Consciousness", S. 88, Hay House, February 2002

Keeping one’s own counsel ⇔ conflictuous social reforms

Spiritual views are not very popular in society in general. It is not necessary to impose one’s views on others. Proselytizing is best done by example rather than by coercion and lapel grabbing. We influence others by what we are rather than by what we say or have. To express views that are contrary to public opinion may be sociologically praiseworthy, but to
do so leads to conflict and enmeshment in the arguments and discord in the world. The pursuit of 'causes' is the
role of the social and political reformer, which is an activity different from that of the seeker of enlightenment. […]
Embroilment in the issues of society is a luxury which the seeker of spiritual enlightenment needs to forego. […] We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become. Thus, every spi-
ritual aspirant serves the world. Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, S. 68-69, 2001

Conflict between the different levels of the energy fields influences the resulting class troubles and the clashes of society with all its political positions. The pendulum of public opinion tends to swing from one extreme to the other
in which the ruling group tries to eliminate the views of those who differ from its prevailing thought forms and beliefs.
➤ At the higher levels, conflict is resolved by understanding, compassion, and comprehension, while
➤ at the lower levels, conflict is resolved by strife, persecution, and war.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 80, 2001

Dualistic error of opposites

Learning to understand than to judge prematurely

It is not very efficient or rewarding to 'battle sin' and get into a struggle to use 'will power' to overcome defects. These are already positionalities and traps that bind the mind in the dualistic error of 'opposites'. The way out of conflict is not to try to eliminate the negative but instead to choose to adopt the positive. To view that one's mission in life is to understand rather than to judge automatically resolves moral dilemmas.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, S. 103, Veritas Publishing, revised edition 2002

The direct avenue to advanced awareness via consciousness bypasses form, duality, and perception. Conflict and
error arise from form, which is also the home of force.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, S. 129, 2001

(↓)

Spiritual Will is the hub of form and formlessness. It determines one's destiny [dharma and karma].

Conscious choice ends the temptation for revenge, spite, or hatred.

It is actually the Spiritual Will that determines destiny or karma. The Will is the seat of power of the Self as it extends to mind and, as such, is the region of direct contact with the Holy Spirit. At the level of Will, form and formlessness 'meet'. Here the formless qualities of love, devotion, gratitude, humility, inspiration, and faith meet with the particulars of the mind with its forms of ideas, thoughts, memo-
ries, conflicts, and images. In the spiritual Will, the goals which are valued or de-
sired are now exposed to the formless spiritual qualities Love, forgiveness, and devotion. Through humility and the choice of peace out of love, one can relinquish even the most cherished of negativities, such as revenge, spite, or hatred.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, S. 135, Veritas Publishing, revised edition 2001

Acceptance is the great healer of strife, conflict, and upset. It also corrects major imbalances of perception and precludes the dominance of negative feelings. Everything serves a purpose. Humility means that we will not under-
stand all events or occurrences. Acceptance is not passivity [LoC 145] but non-positionality. The development
of a spiritual ego can be avoided by the realization that spiritual progress is the result of God's grace and not the
result of one's personal endeavors.

Don't get even, avoid creating enemies

People fall into the trap of getting even or making constant remarks. They create enemies and animosities. These preclude a peaceful life. Nobody needs enemies. They can retaliate in ways unseen and so bring on unfortunate consequences. There is no such thing as winning a conflict; that results in hatred by the loser.
The majority of domestic violence is a physical response to verbal provocation. However, in our society, victims
seldom take responsibility for the provocation, temptation, or hurled insult.
It serves spiritual progress to always accept responsibility for all that befalls one and avoid the trap of
being a victim. From a higher view, there are no victims. Nothing in the world of appearances has the power
to cause anything. Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, chapter 9, S. 193, 2001

Question: Resolution of most conflict, then, is possible by education?
Answer: That is true. Compassion and wisdom go hand in hand. To complain about the limitations and defects
of others is futile and unrealistic. Dr. David R. Hawkins, The Eye of the I From Which Nothing Is Hidden, S. 203, 2001

There is no conflict among the world’s highest teachers, only among their latter-day exploiters over the cen-
turies, such as the current cult-like usurpers of the label "Christian." Throughout history, there have been all
kinds of prophets with strange and unlikely messages that attract the gullible. There has been and still is a multitude
of messiahs and prophets; however, they just do not stand up to a simple test that reveals the error. Baptism is of
the spirit; the water is just symbolic. Of what use are claims to exclusivity? There is not a single organization
that has an exclusive possession of the truth.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 1, ~S. 11-12 (Kindle location 708-711), 2003

Question: How should one handle the seeming conflict between the illusion called ‘ego’, the world, and spiritual work?
Answer: The source of joy of spiritual endeavor stems from the work itself and is not dependent on outcomes or the achievement of goals. Each movement forward has an inner delight. There is, for instance, an inner pleasure that accompanies progress. The replacement of resentment with peaceful acceptance [LoC 350] is its own reward. There is a progressive alteration in one’s view of self and others. When this happens, one’s own life story can
then be recontextualized from a more compassionate understanding.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, I. Reality and Subjectivity, chapter 4 "The 'Ego' and Society", S. 53, 2003

There then appears the capacity to suspend judgment, relinquish positionalities, and resolve conflict through surrender so as to be able to intuit and apprehend rather than logically comprehend.

Moral imbecility

Question: What is the value of confrontation?
Answer: Society hopes that, by confrontation, the victims will lift themselves out of tamas into the rajas of waking up and taking action. This is the purpose of the law when it confronts criminal behavior. It hopes to provide a motive for change. There are, however, a great many persons who are not capable of change. When we realize that some people are unable to change of their own voli-
tion, we begin to see that they are ill or perhaps lack essential critical brain function. Historically, this was called
"moral imbecility". Currently, it is referred to as "psychopathic personality". This defect shows up as early as ages
two or three through the inability to control impulses or delay gratifications. There is some intrinsic defect in the
ability to learn from experience and an intrinsic inability to fear consequences.

Quick conflict diffusion

(*) The thymus is the controller of the acupuncture energy system, and is related to one's overall immune health, which is prone to suppression by stress.

Question: You have taught some people spiritual "first aid". How does that work?
Answer: To terminate an upset, do the following:
1. "Thump the thymus." The thymus gland is located behind the upper breastbone. Thump that area with a closed hand and say, at the same time, "Ha-ha-ha" rhythmically three times, and then, after a pause, do it three more times. Smile while doing that and picture something or someone that you love. That could be a divine figure or even one's favorite pet. (*) This method was originally taught by Dr. John Diamond.¹
2. Then breathe spiritual energy from the base of the spine up to the crown chakra. On each inhalation, picture
  it as Light. It flows from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Even a few breaths done in this way
  will cause a very noticeable effect.
3. While doing the breathing, think or sound the syllable, "Om," as you proceed with the above.²
4. Picture someone you love [LoC 500+].
5. While involved in this process, find within yourself the willingness in your heart to surrender anything and everything to God and recommit your devotion [LoC 555] above all else.

The above instructions will lift one quickly and easily out of the arena of conflict and distress. It does not take practice and the results are ovbious, even on the first try.
This can be followed up by prayer and meditation that focus attention on the whole picture (peripheral vision) of what one is witnessing, rather than getting stuck and involved in details.
Equanimity is retained by relating to a total situation instead of to any of its parts. This tends to keep one at
the level of witness rather than at the effect of the details with attachment to outcome.

Social clashes between the nonintegrous ⇔ the integrous

''Political attacks on individuals calibrating from 335-455+

The primary targets of contentious political attack calibrate well above 200 (from 355, on up to Infinity; the average is 455). Thus the conflict is not really political but represents the social clash of collective levels below 200 with those above 200; i.e. between the emotionality of the lower mind and the logic and reason that represents the higher mind. It also reflects the hostility of the less evolved mind toward erudition itself. The underlying fantasy is that by attack, the playing field can be leveled, which is transparently fallacious since the impact of truth and integrity stems from its nonlinear source, which is immune.

Confrontation with the core of the ego

Confrontation with the core of the ego may be unexpected and the consequence of letting go of attachments, along with the ego's illusions and cherished false spiritual/religious beliefs and fantasies about God e.g. God will respond to intense entreaty or bargaining ('rattling the gates of Heaven'). "O God, look how I suffer for thee."

Angel/animal conflict

Dichotomy between the primitive drives and conscience

In classical Freudian terminology, the 'ego' is understood and contextualized quite differently than it is in spiritual terminology. The Freudian ego is that aspect of the mind that has to deal with external reality, as well as balance and resolve the inner conflicts between the 'Id' (primitive drives) and conscience. Thus, psychological health is equated with having a healthy, realistic, and balanced personality.
Dr. David R. Hawkins, Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, S. 52, 2006

With maturity, the intellect is integrated with positive emotions that add value and motivations, such as the pleasure of accomplishment. Spiritual alignment results in prioritizing spiritual principles by which to resolve conflict. In so doing, it brings Reason to its highest development. To commit to the endeavor to serve the highest good means to subordinate
it to God's will [LoC 850]. Dr. David R. Hawkins (1927-2012), Transcending Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlighten-
ment, chapter 13 "Reason", S. 229-230, 2006

Conflict between ego/society and Self:

As a result of spiritual intention and declaration

Spiritual intention and commitment, especially when accompanied by prayer, declaration, invocation and devotion, change the predominant influential consciousness energy field, which is coordinated by its power 'attractor field' of energy. Thus, spiritual intention and declaration, inadvertently and often beyond awareness, change the rules by which one lives, and seemingly disparate life situations, including emotions, are orchestrated from a different level that is frequently disparate with
the customary expectations of the personal ego and society. These may result in transitory conflict in emotional
or personal situations because the goals of the Spirit/Self are not those of the ego/self.

Shifting context by virtue humor

Humor results from shifting context by which absurdity reveals itself.
Humor is also confrontative to positionality – to laugh at oneself or help others to do so relieves conflict and stress. Humor is therapeutic and cathartic.
It also minimalizes fear, anger, or resentment. Mistakes keep us humble and therefore teachable. Abruptness is sometimes necessary to spiritual economy to save time and energy.

Conflict are due to level clashes between various subpopulations.

The overall consciousness of humanity only crossed over the level of 200 in the late 1980s. A primary difficulty of human life is, and has been, that the subpopulations of different levels of consciousness are thrown in together so that conflict is inevitable, as demonstrated by the […] fact that man has been overtly at war during ninety-three percent of recorded time. One might postulate that during the other seven percent of the time, the lack of war was probably due to some other catastrophe (e.g., the Black Plague, famine, etc.). As is apparent from the above, explanations of the source and nature of the universe represent conceptualizations from different levels of consciousness as well as progressive paradigms from the literal pedestrian to the advanced consciousness levels of Enlightenment and the revelations taught by the great spiritual teachers of history.

Animal/angel conflict

Relief of guilt and greater compassion for oneself and others occurs through realizing that the individual person did not volitionally create the structure of the ego, nor did anybody else. The human condition is primarily a karmic "given" – it can be accepted compassionately as such without condemnation, and is therefore neither good nor bad. Mankind lives in the realm of tension between emotional instincts and the counterbalancing power of spiritual awakening (that
is, the animal/angel conflict). Dr. David R. Hawkins, Along the Path to Enlightenment.

Handling attacks and insults

One cannot avoid to offend some people.

If someone calls you a liar, tell ‘em, 'Yeah I am, I’m the best liar on the planet. Yeah wanna hire me? I’m worth a fortune.' 'Every time I wake up in the morning I call 911 because I’m so ugly.' [Laugther.] You see, when you accept the possible downside of everything, nothing can offend you. ’You're greedy.' 'Yeah, I‘m greedy, I'm Mr. Greedy man, give me what I want.' Know what I mean, just become what people say you are.' 'You're impervious.' There is nothing you can say. Uh huh. So we cannot make neurotism the law of the land. You're not gonna be able to not offend somebody. See. Because some people are gonna be offended if you do and some people will be offended if you don’t. Consequently, you're always gonna offend somebody. So live with it. [Laugther.] The way to God through the heart. Dr. David R.

Conflict between serving others and expressing one's talents

Intention sanctifies the action.

There is conflict only if you seek gain. You can remain simple within yourself even as your mind and work requires you to live in the city. On the other hand, seeking a simpler life (i.e. away from the city) is OK too, since growing spiritually is also a service to mankind. The intention sanctifies the action.

Scientific problems cannot be solved with love and prayer.

This is the world of science, and it likes logic and reason and proof. The world of science lives in this domain and the world of spirit lives above that domain – a different paradigm. So you can’t apply the processes of one domain to another. The reason for the seeming conflict is because they are two different paradigms. You can’t prove or disprove God from the level of the 400s. It’s sort of intellectual grandiosity. You can’t apply the rules of one realm to the other. You can’t solve scientific problems with love and prayer.

not solvable on the level on which it is presented.

Quotes by M. Scott Peck – My Lai Massacre (case study)

M. Scott Peck examined group evil, discussing how human group morality is strikingly less than individual morality.
This is partly the result of specialization, which allows people to avoid individual responsibility and pass the buck,
resulting in a reduction of group conscience.

Peck's analysis of the My Lai Massacre reduces group evil to a manifestation of conscienceless behavior brought
about by individual laziness and narcissism. Peck calls for the constitution of a genuine psychology of evil.

Vietnamese women and children in seconds before being killed
Massacre in Mỹ Lai, 16 March 1968

I was once [1972] directed by the Chief of Staff of the Army to pre-
pare an analysis of the psychological causes of the My Lai atro-
cities and their subsequent cover-up, with recommendations for research that might prevent such behavior in the future. The re-
commendations were disapproved by the Army general staff on the basis that the research recommended could not be kept se-
cret. "The existence of such research might open us up to further challenge. The President [Richard Nixon] and the Army don't need more challenges at this time," I was told. Thus an analysis of the reasons for an incident that was covered up was itself covered up. M. Scott Peck (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, psychothe-
rapist, author, The Road Less Traveled, 1st edition 1978, Random House United Kingdom, 15. March 1990, Touchstone, 25th anniversary edition

ONE person only willing to alert to genocide and psychopathology

The fact that the American public learned about My Lai at all was due solely to a letter that Ron Ridenhour wrote at the end of March 1969 to several congressmen about the atrocities more than a year after they had occurred. Ridenhour had not himself been a part of Task Force Barker but had later heard of the atro-
cities in idle conversation from friends who had been at My Lai, and he wrote the letter three months after his return to civilian life.
In the spring of 1972 I was chairman of a committee of three psychiatrists appointed by the Army Surgeon General, at the request of the Chief of Staff of the Army, to make recommen-
dations for research that might shed light on the psychologi-
cal causes of My Lai, so as to help prevent such atrocities in the future. The research we proposed was re-
jected by the General Staff of the Army, reportedly on the grounds that it could not be kept secret and might prove embarrassing to the administration and that "further embarrassment was not desirable at that time".
The rejection of the recommendations of the committee for research is symbolic of several issues. One is that any re-
search into the nature of evil is likely to prove embarrassing, not only to those who are the designated subjects of the research but also to the researchers themselves. If we are to study the nature of human evil, it is doubtful how clearly we will be able to separate them from us; it will most likely be our own natures we are examining. Undoubtedly, this potential for embarrassment is one of the reasons we have thus far failed to develop a psychology of evil.
The rejection by the General Staff of our recommendations for research also highlights the fact that in considering
the evil at My Lai – as in all our other considerations of evil – we suffer from a simple lack of scientific knowledge.
In tune with what has preceded, much of what follows is only speculative. We will inevitably be limited to specula-
tion until such time as we have been able to develop, through scientific research, a body of knowledge that consti-
tutes a genuine psychology of evil.

Evil, chapter 6 "MyLai. An Examination of Group Evil", Touchstone Press, 1st edition 1983, 2nd edition 2. January 1998

Using the My Lai Massacre as a case study M. Scott Peck also examines group evil, discussing how human group morality is strikingly less than individual morality. Partly he considers this to be a result of specialization, which allows people to avoid
individual responsibility and pass the buck, resulting in a reduction of group conscience.

M. Scott Peck (1936-2005) US American psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author, Biographical Information, People of the Lie. The Hope for Healing Human Evil, chapter 6 "My Lai. An Examination of Group Evil", Touchstone Press, 1st edition 1983, 2nd edition
2. January 1998

Evil is the exercise of power, the imposing of one's will upon others by overt or covert coercion.

The core of evil is ego-centricity, whereby others are sacrificed rather than the ego of the individual.

Evil was defined as the use of the power to destroy the spiritual growth of others for the purpose of defending and preserving the integrity of our own sick selves. In short, it is scapegoating.

The evil hide their motives with lies.
Evil people want to appear to be good.
When confronted by evil, the wisest and most secure adult will usually experience confusion.
Evil seeks to discourage others to think for themselves (fosters dependency).
To oppose evil we must have an ongoing dedication to reality at all cost.

Prisoner's dilemma: Four strategies to solve the cooperation ↔ competition conflict

Robert Axelrod (*1943) US American political scientist, professor of political science and public policy at the

Honeycomb, Todd Huffman

University of Michigan, has been hired as a consultant and speaker on behalf of the United Nations, the World Bank, and the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense.
In August 1997 he published his book The Complexity of Cooperation. Agent-Based Models of Competition and Collaboration.

Axelrod has clearly demonstrated several principles of competition and collaboration at work in a computer game called Prisoner's dilemma.
He and other testers found that "Tit for Tat with forgiveness" strategy was the most beneficial. It is a mix of the policies "an eye for an eye" and "turn the other cheek". Defecting as in cheating and doing evil never won the game in the long run. The principle to strike the unruly dog immediately was confirmed by Axelrod.

In respect to the top-scoring (most beneficial) strategies Axelrod came to the following conclusion: The most successful
"prisoners" faced with the dilemma "to defect or cooperate" with their opponent chose following four strategies:

༺༻

Beneficial strategy

Remark

Biblical dove/snake

1.	Act friendly.		Innocent as doves
2.	Retaliate defecting/defectors immediately.	Striking briefly	Shrewd as snakes.
3.	Forgive defecting.	Be friendly again once defectors have returned to civility.	Innocent as doves
4.	Do not envy others.	For their own sake including the sake of all	Doves/snakes

The most successful strategies in solving human conflicts – given a myriad of unknowns – are as follows:

༺༻	Beneficial strategy	Description	Biblical connotation
1.	Be friendly.	Do not defect ("cheat") before your opponent does. No pre-emptive strikes!	Be as innocent as doves.
2.	Retaliate strikes as soon as possible when necessary.	Given that "nasty" players tend to exploit ruthlessly it is not beneficial to cooperate at any rate.	Be as clever as snakes.³
3.	Forgive your opponent	as soon as they end to play defects. This saves all involved of the long runs of revenge and counter-revenge.	Forgive up to seventy-seven times seven.⁴
4.	Don't be greedy and don't envy.	Do not strive to score more than the opponent.	The treacherous will be caught by their own greed.

Five ways to achieve cooperation

༺༻	༺Strategy༻	Keyword	Legend	༺༺Phrase༻༻
1.	Direct reciprocity	Tit for Tat (Face)	I help you, you help me. Generosity has to give way to the new champion for playing the Prisoner's dilemma, "win stay, lose shift."	"I scratch your back and you scratch mine the next time."
2.	Indirect reciprocity	Power of reputation (Name)	I help you, somebody helps me. Most important mechanism driving human sociality, language and brains	"I scratch your back. Others see it, and they scratch my back."
3.	Spatial games	Chessboard of life	Neighbors help each other. Cooperators can prevail by forming networks and clusters.	"We do not meet each other randomly." [The structure of populations promotes cooperation.]
4.	Group selection	Tribal wars	Groups of cooperators out-compete other groups. Multilevel (group) selection works if there are many small, isolated groups. Migration – egoists infecting pure altruist groups – undermines cooperation. However, at the cellular level, there's plenty of evidence of group selection.	"I cooperate because it is beneficial for my group."
5.	Kin selection	Nepotism	Cooperation with genetic relatives. According to Hamilton's rule humans cooperate with close kin and defect with strangers.	"I jump in the water to save two brothers or eight cousins."

Overcoming anger

President Abraham Lincoln who struggled with his depression held together the opposites of darkness and light in his own psyche as well as his country at his time.
At a special prayer day he had asked the troops of the north to pray also for the south troops. To his critics who felt that this is undermining the moral of the troops he said:

We need to be able to remain human even though we are fighting this war.

There was one of Lincoln's very rare outbursts of anger in 'Soldiers Home', a cottage in the country on a high hill, where Lincoln ruminated on emancipation proclamations and more.
An officer came to him in need as his wife had drowned in a ferry boat in the Potomac river. Lincoln reacted infuriated
due to the disturbance:

Why do you bring that up to me?
Go have someone else in the White House deal with it!

Following night Lincoln could not sleep all night. He sat up that night and recognized his mistake. The next morning he
took care to find the hotel where the officer stayed in. He knocked at the door and apologized to the man assuring him:

We will find your wife!

From a war room mentality to a peace room mentality – Victor Vernon Woolf

Soviet-American Dialogues for Peace
Envisioned by Ramah Vernon, during the final stage of the Cold War, 1988

Head of the Soviet military accompanied by 16 military members	Dr. Victor Vernon Woolf Holodynamics accompanied by Barbara Marx Hubbard and 2 ministers
Linear War mentality has no solutions.	Nonlinear Peace mind offers solutions for unfolding potential.
War is inevitable! [screaming, pounding with his fists – speaking in Russian, translated into English]	War is not inevitable! What is inevitable, sir, is life's potential will unfold itself. And your moral and ethical responsibility, sir, is to help yourself, your comrades, your families, your country, your entire nation to become part of the family of nations to help that life potential to unfold, sir! [switching into the Russian mode – screaming louder, pounding harder with his fists]
The Russian general looked at Woolf puzzled. _____________________________________________ He burst out laughing. [The war mode spell was broken.]	Woolf looked at the general, smiled, and winked.
*Ah yes, but how does one unfold that potential?* [speaking in English]	*Now we can begin to discuss these things.* [pleased]
*The integration of the whole dynamic knowledge is needed in Russia more than anything else.* Soviet Communism declined peacefully in 1990-91.	Woolf was invited to work with 14 Soviet academies installed by the ministries during the Russian transition period after the silent fall of communism in the 90ties. He supported them for 9 years and trained several hundred Holodynamics teachers in Russia.

They became good friends ever since.

7-Step model for conflict resolution – Stewart Levine

Resolving conflict – Stewart Levine's model

Step	Action	Description
1.	Have·the·attitude·of·resolution.	Get in the frame of mind to be willing to resolve conflict. Focus on what the conflict is costing everyone and what everyone can gain from a resolution. Stop thinking of conflict as a win/lose proposition. Arguing over who's right often does not lead to a resolution that anyone wants. Open up and be truthful. Commit to and invest yourself in the process.
2.	Tell your story and listen to the story of the other side.	Resolution arises from sharing information, while conflict arises from withholding it.
3.	Listen for a preliminary vision of resolution.	As you get more information, check to make sure that your vision meets the concerns of all the parties involved.
4.	Get current and complete information on the issues.	You must be up-to-date in order to move forward with a resolution.
5.	Reach an agreement in principle.	Come to a broad understanding of what the resolution will be.
6.	Craft the new agreement.	Create a template for agreement including the following elements: Intent, specific vision, roles, commitments to action, timeline, measurements of satisfaction, concerns and fears, renegotiation, dissolution, consequences, dispute resolution, and management of the process.
7.	Celebrate the resolution.

Model of conflict escalation – Friedrich Glasl

Nine stages of conflict escalation (~"war of the roses"~) developed by Friedrich Glasl

Conflict zone	Conflict level	Negotiation level	Phase	Description	Level of communication
I.	Stage 1	Mediation	Tension	Conflicts start with tensions (occasional clash of opinions). This is not perceived as the start of a conflict. The conflict could have deeper causes.	Win-Win
I.	Stage 2	Mediation	Polarisation and debate	From now on the conflict parties consider strategies to convince the counterparty of their arguments. Differences of opinion lead to a dispute. The parties try to put each other under pressure and think in terms of black and white.	Win-Win
I.	Stage 3	Mediation Process guidance	Actions instead of words	The conflict parties increase the pressure on each other in order to assert their own opinion. Discussions are broken off. No more verbal communication takes place and the conflict is increasingly acerbated. Sympathy for "them" disappears.	Win-Win

II.	Stage 4	Process guidance Sociotherapeutic process guidance	Concern for image – Coalitions	The conflict is acerbated by the search for sympathisers for one's cause. Believing one has right on one's side, one can denounce the opponent. The issue is no longer important: one has to win the conflict so that the opponent loses.	Win-Lose
II.	Stage 5	Process guidance Sociotherapeutic process guidance Intercession / intermediation	Loss of face	The opponent is to be denigrated by innuendo and the like. The loss of trust is complete. Loss of face means in this sense the loss of moral credibility.	Win-Lose
II.	Stage 6	Sociotherapeutic process guidance Intercession / intermediation Arbitration / court action	Threat strategies	The conflict parties try to gain absolute control by issuing threats which demonstrate their own power. One threatens, for example, with a demand (10 million euros) which is enforced by a sanction ("otherwise I'll blow up your main building") and underlined by the potential for sanction (showing the explosive). The proportions decide the credibility of the threat.	Win-Lose

III.	Stage 7	Intercession / intermediation Arbitration / court action Forcible intervention	Limited destruction	Severe damaging of the opponent with tricks at one's disposal. The opponent is no longer regarded as human. Limited personal loss is seen as a gain if the damage to the opponent is greater.	Lose-Lose
III.	Stage 8	Arbitration / court action Forcible intervention	Total annihilation	The opponent is to be annihilated by all means.	Lose-Lose
III.	Stage 9	Forcible intervention	Together into the abyss	From this point personal annihilation is accepted in order to defeat the opponent.	Lose-Lose

Originator: ► Prof. Friedrich Glasl (*1941) Austrian professor of economics, management consultant, conflict researcher

The ability to recognise and eliminate conflict-nourishing forces in a culturally neutral and non-judgemental fashion
in order to de-escalate a conflict is highly advantageous in particular for managers, consultants and social workers.

The futility of squabbling

Once upon a time there were two monks who had lived together for forty years and never had a squabble.

Home, sweet home, 19th century
Pietro Saltini (1839-1908)

Not even once.
One day, one monk said to the other:
"Don't you think it's about time we had a squabble, even if it's just once?"
"Sure," replied the other monk.
"Let's get started right away. About what shall we squabble?"
"About this piece of bread perhaps?" the first monk offered.
"OK, let's have a squabble over this bread. How are we going to go about this?" asked the other again.
"This bread is mine, and mine alone," said the first monk.
"Oh yeah? Well you can keep it," said the second monk.

Conflict resolution by sharing a bowl of porridge together

Saint Juniper, called "the renowned jester of the Lord," was a friar from 1210 to his death in 1258.

Millet porridge

He was one of Saint Francis of Assisi's earliest disciples who had exclaimed

"Would to God, my brothers, I had a whole forest of such Junipers."

After having been severely reprimanded by his superior, Brother Juniper was so disturbed in the following night that sleep fled him. So he got up in the dark and went to the monastery's kitchen. There he prepared a bowl of hot porridge adorned with lump of butter on top. This dish he took along to his superior's room. Knocking at his door he said,

"Father, I have prepared this porridge for you and beg you to eat it."

The superior told him to leave and allow him to continue his sleep.
Dryly Brother Juniper replied,

"Would you be so kind as to hold the light while I eat it?"

The superior laughed in spite of himself. Good sport that he was, he sat down with Brother Juniper so that they both could
eat the porridge together.

Gregg Braden: "War is a bad human habit that developed when resources became scarce 5000 years ago. Human natural benevolence is shed when one feels personally threatened, and when one's family and one's way of life are being threatened. In the 1st to 4 Great World Ages peace has been prevalent, in the 5th Great World Age war was the predominant way of life. The rising 6th Great World Age will pos-
sibly bring peace again."
