If we are the Spirit no terrorist can hurt us!

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

Here is an interesting article, called " Overstating Our Fears " . i ask that you

use your own judgment, because any article you read in the media these days,

could have disinformation in it - which is why it is so vital that we use our

own discretion, our own discrimination. Shri Mataji told us that, in reality,

all the things that face us, such as 'terrorism' for instance - come from

humanity's inner condition and are projected outwards. So what does that tell

us? It tells us that if we are the Spirit and we project love, nothing can

really terrorize us! Whatever we are inwardly, we project outwardly. That is one

of the laws of spiritual being. One definitely cannot hide what they truly are.

The truth comes out eventually. Especially now, that we are in a New Age, where

the " Truth Itself " has become an activated force:

 

" We should not worry about the thorns too much because, like the garden, soon

all that one will see are the flowers. We should be confident that truth will be

victorious. If we get depressed about the way things are going, we should just

remember that the truth will win out - " definitely " ! "

" The attack of the negativity is on but no more do we crucify a saint. This way

I will not face the punishment. They will be punished now. All those who try to

do such things will be punished because a New Age has started. "

" The Brahma Chaitanya (all-pervading power) has itself become very active as a

new type of age called " Krita Yuga " has started. It is achieving results and

producing miracles. It is not only talk or reading scriptures, but it is

actualisation and the proof. Of course, all false people are afraid of facing

the truth, because Sahaja Yoga [union with the Divine] goes against their

interests. They are challenging and opposing violently the spread of Sahaja

Yoga. The Satya Yuga has to be established by the Sahaja Yogis.

 

Now they are not alone like Christ Our Lord, Mohamed the Prophet, Socrates the

philosopher or other incarnations, seers and realised souls. They are in

thousands. They are not in any way hampered by the few people who are trying to

harm their collective progress. The truth will be established and thus the dawn

of Satya Yuga (the Kingdom of God) would be seen on the horizon. The message of

Sahaja Yoga is that even these negative people have to accept the truth and

enjoy the blessings of the Divine Love. "

" Although what I say is distorted, the truth will always stand. You cannot

change what it is. Only, you will remain ignorant and backward. I am unhappy

because of that. "

Overstating Our Fears

 

By Glenn L. Carle

Sunday, July 13, 2008; Page B07

 

Sen. John McCain has repeatedly characterized the threat of " radical Islamic

extremism " as " the absolute gravest threat . . . that we're in against. " Before

we simply accept this, we need to examine the nature of the terrorist threat

facing our country. If we do so, we will see how we have allowed the specter of

that threat to distort our lives and take our treasure.

 

The " Global War on Terror " has conjured the image of terrorists behind every

bush, the bushes themselves burning and an angry god inciting its faithful to

religious war. We have been called to arms, built fences, and compromised our

laws and the practices that define us as a nation. The administration has

focused on pursuing terrorists and countering an imminent and terrifying threat.

Thousands of Americans have died as a result, as have tens of thousands of

foreigners.

 

The inclination to trust our leaders when they warn of danger is compelling,

particularly when the specters of mushroom clouds and jihadists haunt every

debate. McCain, accepting this view of the threats, pledges to continue the Bush

administration's policy of few distinctions but ruthless actions.

 

I spent 23 years in the CIA. I drafted or was involved in many of the

government's most senior assessments of the threats facing our country. I have

devoted years to understanding and combating the jihadist threat.

 

We rightly honor as heroes those who serve our nation and offer their lives to

protect ours. We all " support the troops. " Yet the first step for any commander

is to understand the enemy. The next commander in chief should base his

counterterrorism policies on the following realities:

 

We do not face a global jihadist " movement " but a series of disparate ethnic and

religious conflicts involving Muslim populations, each of which remains

fundamentally regional in nature and almost all of which long predate the

existence of al-Qaeda.

 

Osama bin Laden and his disciples are small men and secondary threats whose

shadows are made large by our fears. Al-Qaeda is the only global jihadist

organization and is the only Islamic terrorist organization that targets the

U.S. homeland. Al-Qaeda remains capable of striking here and is plotting from

its redoubt in Waziristan, Pakistan. The organization, however, has only a

handful of individuals capable of planning, organizing and leading a terrorist

operation. Al-Qaeda threatens to use chemical, biological, radiological or

nuclear weapons, but its capabilities are far inferior to its desires. Even the

" loose nuke " threat, whose consequences would be horrific, has a very low

probability. For the medium term, any attack is overwhelmingly likely to consist

of creative uses of conventional explosives.

 

No other Islamic-based terrorist organization, from Mindanao to the Bekaa Valley

to the Sahel, targets the U.S. homeland, is part of a " global jihadist movement "

or has more than passing contact with al-Qaeda. These groups do and will,

however, identify themselves with global jihadist rhetoric and may bandy the

bogey-phrase of " al-Qaeda. " They are motivated by hostility toward the West and

fear of the irresistible changes that education, trade, and economic and social

development are causing in their cultures. These regional terrorist

organizations may target U.S. interests or persons in the groups' historic areas

of interest and operations. None of these groups is likely to succeed in seizing

power or in destabilizing the societies they attack, though they may succeed in

killing numerous people through sporadic attacks such as the Madrid train

bombings.

 

There are and will continue to be small numbers of Muslims in certain Western

countries -- in the dozens, perhaps -- who seek to commit terrorist acts, along

the lines of the British citizens behind the 2005 London bus bombings. Some may

have irregular contact with al-Qaeda central in Waziristan; more will act as

free agents for their imagined cause. They represent an Islamic-tinged version

of the anarchists of the late 19th century: dupes of " true belief, " the flotsam

of revolutionary cultural change and destruction in Islam, and of personal

anomie. We need to catch and neutralize these people. But they do not represent

a global movement or a global threat.

 

The threat from Islamic terrorism is no larger now than it was before Sept. 11,

2001. Islamic societies the world over are in turmoil and will continue for

years to produce small numbers of dedicated killers, whom we must stop. U.S. and

allied intelligence do a good job at that; these efforts, however, will never

succeed in neutralizing every terrorist, everywhere.

 

Why are these views so starkly at odds with what the Bush administration has

said since the beginning of the " Global War on Terror " ? This administration has

heard what it has wished to hear, pressured the intelligence community to verify

preconceptions, undermined or sidetracked opposing voices, and both instituted

and been victim of procedures that guaranteed that the slightest terrorist

threat reporting would receive disproportionate weight -- thereby comforting the

administration's preconceptions and policy inclinations.

 

We must not delude ourselves about the nature of the terrorist threat to our

country. We must not take fright at the specter our leaders have exaggerated. In

fact, we must see jihadists for the small, lethal, disjointed and miserable

opponents that they are.
