Who manifests terrorists? Who manifests peace?

[forynav]

First of all guys, this is not an attack on LoA.

I just want to know if I can somehow manifest world peace. All the wishes, dreams that I have for my own life seem trivial compared to what is happening at my home right now (Mumbai, India).

I'm depressed, I'm gutted. I crave to find meaning, I simply cannot fathom why we are destined to destroy ourselves like this.

Help me, Source.

Looking at life through the lenses that were are finite creatures that only have one shot at this whole deal we call life, you are right when you say things don't look so good, and really what is the point. From that frame of reference I would have to agree.

Given your bleak outlook on the human condition, I would encourage you to try on some different points of view. The people on this site will give you some different perspectives, all of which are worth checking out.

For me personally, I believe that good and bad, judgment and punishment is nothing more than mans attempt to define things they don't understand.

I believe we incarnate on this physical earth simply to learn and to grow. I believe we do so multiple times for different reasons and different lessons each time. I believe we and we alone decide which lives we want to incarnate into for personal lessons, and personal growth. I don't believe there is punishment outside of our physical earth for us, period.

There is only learning. Period.

If you are serious about your search for the nature of our true selves read. Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Take it for what it is worth, and try it on for size. I think it answers alot of the questions that religions can't come close to explaining.

Move to Mumbai, India.

Then you'll have a frame of reference. j/k

@ OP: Focus on positive thoughts for other people and yourself. It can't hurt.

I agree with you that learning is of the utmost importance, and your quote is very pertinent.

With regard to what we generally conceive to be punishment, this is also part of the learning process. If we don't learn from our mistakes, then we keep making them - that is our punishment, whether it is in this physical world or in the spirit world we migrate to after physical death. It is self-inflicted.

Our thoughts and actions always have consequences, and they affect others. We punish ourselves through the mistakes we make, i.e. giving way to the lower aspects of the ego, hurting others, etc.

When we pass into the spirit world, we will realize the full impact of everything we thought and did - the good and the bad ... and we will judge ourselves. But, even there, we may still reject the promptings of spirit and conscience and continue to persist in our self-inflicted punishment.

We have the free will to make that choice.

Thanks. I missed out the leading 'I'.
A sin of omission rather than commission, methinks!
