A friend of mine who has been living in North America for some years recently emailed me regarding the anniversary of 9/11. After mentioning how tragic it was, he then proceeded to enclose photographs of his gun collection and of he and his partner shooting on a rifle range. I resisted giving him my views on why 9/11 happened, but said, “Try to give up the guns if you can. There is much karmic debt that America will have to repay regarding these. Shooting themselves and others will sadly be the consequence.”
His response included more pictures of himself and his girlfriend, this time on a pistol range. Also his email was almost unreadable, even scrambled, except for the odd sentence, which was for example, “…inner city kids, illegal guns are unfortunately a part of their every day life…”
So why was most of the text in his email unreadable?
When our thoughts and actions are filled with good intentions, the angels and the Universe support us. However, when we subject ourselves to fear and a lack of trust, our misguided efforts are hampered.
If the American public anticipate danger and so the need to protect themselves, they will then attract these scenarios. However, if their intention is to use guns in order to feed themselves and not to kill birds and animals for sport, then karmic debt will not be accrued.
My friend has emailed me many times. The cynically minded may say there was a technical reason why the text was unreadable. Nothing happens without reason and it is clear to me, the content of the email was attempting to excuse a practice which is universally unacceptable.
The American constitution allows citizens the right to bear arms and protect themselves. This could involve shooting another human being if they feel threatened. According to the laws of the Universe this is wrong. None of us have the right to kill another person in any circumstance. Until that lesson is learnt, many people in America with other nations who support the right to bear arms, will suffer much distress.
My picture above is taken from my book ‘The Angel Book of Hours,’ and is the second part of my poem entitled ‘Trilogy of a Soldier’ – this second part is named, ‘The Mirror.’ The poem shows that people’s actions are a reflection of what we think of them. In order to bring out the best in others we must change the way we view them. Therefore keeping our intentions pure is an essential start.
If we can think of the needy and the desperate as souls who need help rather than focusing on their potential to harm us, then the world suddenly becomes a beautiful place.
