We are in 2022 and the practice of going to war with a gun and seing fresh blood spilling on the soil seems like a long forgotten memory from the past. It is not. War is dirty, nasty, vicious, mean and it will cut you deep and leave you dry. Others will relentlessly walk on your corpse because they run for their own survival. Do you feel hurt when you read about this cruel reality? The thing is that words have the same power to destroy you just as much as a shotgun going straight to your head. Only that death by words is much more painful as you often fail to see how you are dying. It is gradual and it makes you question your sanity.
Until the recent happenings with Ukraine, many people were oblivious to what war meant. What I find ironic is the fact that war has been happening continuously way before the Ukraine disaster. We are living times of war. The pandemic, the segregation, the economy failing, the job losses, the inflation, the lack of social interaction, the mass media manipulation. All of these are part of a giant cocktail called MENTAL WAR. This is the real war dear folks as it is invisible and much more efficient in long term than anything else.
Some might say that you can defeat your enemy through force and torture. Starve them, shoot them, humiliate them, take their money and their freedom. You can throw a bomb and kill an entire population and this is how wars have been won. Apparently. But the true success of a devious mind who is planning to win power is to attack the opponent from the inside. To weaken their mind. To torment their spirit. To make them lose their sanity and their will to fight. To give them death by choice as their only option. For an evil mind death means surrender, to conquer means to have the victim willing to become a slave. Mental wars are the real wars that the masterminds want to fight. A population who is weak in spirit, even if starved of poor, will be easier to conquer because of the cracks already happening in their minds.
Because of this type of war, the manipulation through mass media has become a great tool for the sick minds. You can control people if you can control the information their mind feeds with. Fear is a great tool used in the mental war. Fear makes people go in a reactive mode, where their spirit becomes impervious to their true desires, dreams and needs. For the jews who were kept and tortured by the Nazi, the only way to survive was to mentally check out from that reality. Research has shown decades later that those who managed to come out alive from those horrible places were those who kept their mind intact although the reality was filthy and unbearable. The only way out from a war is through your mind.
You can't understand how a homeless person feels unless you have experienced homelessness yourself. Losing everything you had and having to start from scratch like many ukrainians have to do is devastating for the spirit. Having to doubt if you will have food to put on a table or money to pay your bills eats you from the inside. Fear creeps in. Maybe you have kids to feed and a partner to support. You start to feel helpless, you feel like the doors of the room are getting tighter and tigher, squeezing you like a vice. Your own sense of worth goes down the drain. After fear there comes desperation. What will you do with your life? Days aren't getting better. The lack is even more obvious. Your mind starts to starve for hope. The only food you need in times of war is hope Once that is gone, you are a living corpse waiting for death and hopefully a funeral. Maybe this sounds gloomy, but it is necessary to realize that your mind is your greatest asset in life. No matter if you are in a mental war or travelling through the streets of the rich Dubai, your mind will be with you wherever you go. Your mind can be the first enemy, before the enemy himself attacks.
In the end we will all die somehow. Even the sick masterminds will have their bodies eaten by the worms. The Universe works by the simple law of cyclicity: our reality happens in cycles. Everything has a start and an end. The good and the bad. Wars come and go. Riches come and go. Jobs come and go. There is always change waiting at the corner. The only thing you can be sure of is change: constant change. The only way out of a despicable reality is your mind. The mental war is won before it even happens when you guard your mind and your spirit. This is a 24/24 hours shift. For a lifetime. Never let wars or abundant times fool you. The war has always been there. Inside. The enemy can destroy when you have already given up on yourself. A mental war is won by a mind primed with hope , resilience, inner peace, self-love and faith years before the war even happens. Don't check out before you check IN.
