Hey!

As always I have really weird stories with how books comes to my life. This time I was in the library and I had a list of books I wanted to take. And suddenly on the shelve I saw Leo Tolstoy book – The Kingdom of God is within you. I took it and I read a description, about Christianity. And I thought – nah, I don’t know… But I opened it and read random page. Well, I liked it and here is my post about this amazing book.

Leo Tolstoy is Russian author, philosopher. He wrote many masterpieces like Anna Karenina and etc. I haven’t read any of his books. But what message he has in this book is unbelievably relatable and truth. I highly recommend to read this and understand that we are the ones who can make changes, we all have strength inside us to say no for the violence and all the bad things. We are the ones who must educate and help others reach higher self. Time is now. 😉

What is this book about? Firstly it explains how Christianity, like true Christianity, changed over the decades, how people changed it for their own purpose. Then he wrote about how wrong war is and overall it’s just about everything that is wrong in our countries and societies. He wrote this book in 1890-1893 and it’s still urgent problem of today… Can you comprehend how slowly we evolving like a human beings and how fast technologies are evolving? Don’t you think it suppose to be the opposite way?

This book quotes Bible a lot and main thing author wants to show that we must not resist evil with evil. Here is the great thought of this book: “Satan can never be driven out by Satan. Error can never be corrected by error, and evil cannot be vanquished by evil”. Actually, there are many good points of view in this book, like I photographed many paragraphs. I want to add up exorcism as all exorcisms use no violence only words of bible and etc. If you don’t know about Ed and Lorraine Warren you should definitely check them. If you clever you notice things.

If you don’t believe in Christianity (like myself) that is okay, but you need to know that it really changed. Try to read G.W.F Hegel – History of Philosophy and you will find the truth. Sometimes you just have to dig in deeper. So yes, war and military is no good. To create soldiers who can kill anyone just because government needs it – it’s not okay. We truly are blind like we live in some kind of a pink world where to be a soldier is sooo romantic, it is beautiful to stand up for your people… Movies about love between women and a men of an army. Wow. In reality those people are made to kill, rape and do anything bad and nonsense.

I think most of us know some men who came back from the war… Did you notice how messed up they are? Do you really think it is pretty to see blood, how their friends turns to a meat? Do you really think that is okay??? How ruined is those men mental health do you even care? And don’t forget that these unstable men comes to their wife and children… From my own experience I met some military guys and I was terrified… They drink alcohol a lot. They can’t have their own opinion and as they said – for our own people we can do anything….. THAT IS NOT OKAY. How no one is actually seeing this?

I’m really sorry that you can feel my disappointment but as an empath I can’t tolerate these things. I can’t tolerate killings, violence, anger, I can’t even be near the people when they are fighting. It is so wrong… So bad.

You will ask me – but what we can do? We can do a lot. We can stand up for goodness, we can say what we want, we must be kind, we need to educate each other, show that there are many other ways to live a life, that we do not need any army. But that is a long way to evolve… If we go further slowly like now maybe we even won’t have a time to do better. We all want peaceful life but everyone does nothing about it…

And one more thing, it happened before I’ve started to read this book, so synchronization appears in my life more often now.

After August 14th I wrote some insights about what is happening in Belarus. An army is for their native people, for country until happens situations like in Belarus, Pakistan or other country and army is going against their people. As always military is here to silence people and they use violence against brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and etc. So where is their beautiful idea that they would die for their loved ones? That is a lie. Because when we come across politics, army is to protect them and not a citizens of their own country.

Thank you for reading, I hope for human-kind to be better someday, I hope we will reach the light. Just focus on tolerance, acceptance and be kind. Love each other even if someone are doing bad things on your behind. We came here not to fight, we came to make an Earth a beautiful planet to live. ❤

A few quotes from this book:

“The rivalry of the European states in constantly increasing their forces has reduced them to the necessity of having recourse to universal military service, since by that means the greatest possible number of soldiers is obtained at the least possible expense. Germany first hit on this device. And directly one state adopted it the others were obliged to do the same. And by this means all citizens are under arms to support the iniquities practiced upon them; all citizens have become their own
oppressors.”

“One man may not kill. If he kills a fellow-creature, he is a murderer. If two, ten, a hundred men do so, they, too, are murderers. But a government or a nation may kill as many men as it chooses, and that will not be murder, but a great and noble action. Only gather the people together on a large scale, and a battle of ten thousand men becomes an innocent action. But precisely how many people must there be to make it so?—that is the question. One man cannot plunder and pillage, but a whole nation can. But precisely how many are needed to make it permissible?”

“There is one thing, and only one thing, in which it is granted to you to be free in life, all else being beyond your power: that is to recognize and profess the truth.”

Spreading peace and love.
