To my spiritual friends; is the world supposed to be changed? Is it bad? Can there ever be peace?

Question

Is the world supposed to be changed? I don't think so, I believe the world, cosmically moves through different conditions, through which affect the people.

However, that is not the question, it would be is the world bad and wrong? I know many suffer in the world, but as I see it the world is a school/university of experience and a life that one lives is in proportion to the necessity that such a life gives in regards to development and experience. It is also my opinion that there can never be peace on this world, in that sense, but we can use the outer world to invoke inner peace and understand why things are the way they are from a higher reality/perspective. Otherwise we negate where an individual is at, from where they stand, some can't have tolerance, some don't want understanding, some walk as animals only in the form of man, some are poor because others are rich, some have knowledge because others do not, and etc.

Everyone is as they should be; there is no political correctness from higher reality, from soul reality. I guess what I am asking is, if we remove the classes/levels from a school, it defeats the schools purpose, curriculum (law), and progression, leaving the students stuck in a pre-mature state? Perhaps the questions should be ask, why are people born into the lives that live? Understand the laws of each others birth, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. Perhaps I will ask this question. I don’t expect agreement with my position, just breathing.

Every religion, ism, or non-belief looks for a time where their belief will be supreme and all the others loss or die out. Christians think Jesus will come and zap his believers and rule on earth, Atheist hope for a time where there is no more religion, muslims no more competition, but the earth is for the muslims and Allah, and etc. This world is as it should be.

Btw what I meant by some are poor because others are rich is, that they are paradoxical opposites. There is a balance with respect to the two conditions on earth and the fact that there are only rich people because there are poor and vice versa. Just as there is only darknesses because there is light, same fro good and evil.

Answer 1

Sure, cosmically the world moves through different conditions that can cause suffering and we're definitely all "in school" and at different levels based on our spiritual maturity. But, humanity is now on the verge of its biggest earth challenge - which requires us to apply ourselves as never before or degenerate into fighting over remaining resources. Religious animosity will fade as a problem - in comparison. Now is NOT the time for c'est la vie! A higher perspective is NOT valuable in and of itself and such an attitude is more likely to negate others' potentiality contributions at a practical level.

But, reality also changes as people change. The more enlightened people applying themselves to the obvious problems the better off we all are. "Nothing is written." Simply by becoming our authentic Self - we cause changes for everyone around us, but many of us have a larger purpose to fulfill as well. Only a higher perspective will allow us to make the contribution we're here to achieve.

Answer 2

Christians, Jews, Islamic people-they all drive me crazy! The world was so different then. Yeah, people still suffer but a lot of countries have evolved to where killing is not acceptable, maiming children and/or females is not a common practice. Look at the Bible wars/battles, Alexander the Greats battles, Napolean era...they all had to kill face to face. Maybe I'm very naive but I don't think the majority of US (at least) could do that. Even the military push a button that sends a bomb somewhere and they don't even have to see what happens. People complain about how horrible it is that Iraqi citizens get killed everyday but Abraham and other Biblical forefathers didn't seem to care when they ordered that all women, children and animals should be killed when attacking some community.Society is much different than before. A lot of people are too scared to admit they're atheist when they know the only repurcussion they'll get is to be questioned or looked down on. Whereas before, no one would even dare say such a thing b/c the threat of death was real.
I think the earth has improved a lot but now 'too much of a good thing' is obviously bad for us, too. Now, we have Global Warming to worry about, partially b/c of over-population (due to the lack of killing everything in sight, Black Plague's,,medical discoveries, etc...), and some even deny it so then there's the threat of change. Change can be good, but, like in childbirth, a lot of blood and gore can be involved before it's finished.

Answer 3

There can can be no world peace until there is peace within. The world is not bad - some people are. A lot of the problems today result from the fact that people have gone so far away from spirituality and dharma. People need to go within to find the answers. People need to understand that we are all one and connected and that the source of truth lies within - in becoming the spirit. All of the things that happen in our life (whether we perceive them as good as bad) happen for a particular reason - so that we can learn and grow spiritually.

Answer 4

Interesting perspective.

People are not poor because some are rich. That is something I disagree with.

Can this world ever see peace?
Well, once man gives over himself to other [the most pure Christian teaching] then we would have peace.

But with the world being the world, it is not likely.
It all starts with us, the folks in the mirror.

With so many in 'self' mode, I do not think it will ever be possible.

Answer 5

psalms 37:9,10,11,29 says the wicked people will be destroyed and god will set up a kingdom.
Daniel 2:44 tells us that jesus is the king of that new government that will rule the world.
Matthew 24:21 tells us about a great tribulation that is soon to effect the whole world.

Answer 6

The world will be burned up (Revelation 21). There will not be peace until the millennial reign of Christ. The destruction of the earth is good.

Answer 7

You can find peace in this confusing world.

Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

Answer 8

Follow Christ your saviour, and there will peace. Aswell as you being saved.

Answer 9
