What james loves about this:
I've really been thinking about this alot in past days. If you're holding so much warlike intention as to spend trillions of dollars preparing, there's no way you won't manifest a war. Otherwise it would be a huge waste of money!

We cannot put an end to killing by killing. Nor can we put an end to wars by building bigger, faster, better weapons-or soldiers. We simply cannot end war.

Hi Heather! Point taken - perhaps "ending" war is too big a goal - hard to even imagine from where we are now.  What if we simply promote peace, love & understanding within ourselves and our communities?  What if our goal is more modest - to simply...

Wonderful, excellent James. We simple humans have been at war since we were conceived and given egos, superegos, Ids and insecurities. Not to mention jealousy, fear, and competitiveness. We do need to promote peace...and like I always say, educate oour children about peac...

Before you read on please understand that I love the notion of a world devoid of war.  I trust you’ll take that to heart.  < end disclaimer J > There are those in this world that are hell-bent on achieving their own egomaniacal, twisted vision i...

You've added such depth to this thread - thank you for so thoughtfully explaining this.  I agree that Einstein's quote is a little too simple, and is best interperated as a statement of sentiment.  There may also be one of those subtle dances required he...

This statement is equally valid in the context of interpersonal relationships.  If we spend energy making a case for ourselves and indulging in the stories and activities of self protection what are we manifesting?

If we buy into the belief that we are essentially vulnerable, and we build up enormous barriers to protect our inner life from the outer influences, then we deny ourselves  the chance to see how strong and vital and adaptable we really are.

I think especially in these days we need to be preparing for peace.  Just this morning at the bus stop, one of the neighbor kids asked "What weapons will they use to fight World War 3?"  We replied, "Don't know, but they're sure to be hor...

Alas, I suspect that we actually know very well what weapons will be used to fight WW III -- the ones that are being used now. Everything from our high-tech military equipment to kids who have been convinced to turn themselves into flesh-and-blood...

It's a very complex issue.  Even though I think Einstein's quote is right, and good, I also think that when you start asking, "So, what do we do about that?", things get very much more complicated.I tend to agree that not much would change if we pul...
