Inner Work in a Time of War

            Regardless of their views of the justifiability or necessity of any particular war, everyone agrees that war causes great suffering. Even those not directly affected by the war feel its anger, hatred, fear, anxiety, outrage, hysteria, or an irresistible fascination with it. All of this pollutes the emotional atmosphere. If in the midst of this raging storm, some people continue or even redouble their spiritual practice, they help create an antidote to the destructive tone of the times. By relinquishing our own anger and fear, our anxiety and blame, we become the bearers of inner peace and compassion, helping clear the poisoned atmosphere that we all share. Transforming the raging emotional energies released by war, we turn them, through our inner work, into a force for presence and kindness.
