SPIRITUAL WARRIORS
Achieving personal goals and winning the battles of each day, and ultimately any war, does not require a fight. It does require an understanding of the creative power of thought, the ABC’s of transformation, and surrender to the Will of God. At some point in one’s personal transformation process there arises an understanding and realization that you are of the same essence as God, but of course you are not the one who created everything that is, nor do you have the ability to create even a tiny creature from nothing. But in some remarkable way each person has inherent power to some extent to bring a measure of heaven or hell on earth in their own lives and in the lives of other people.
The phenomenon of shielding arises in society by generating structural changes in the functioning of individual and collective consciousness. This in turn influences dramatically thought and activity. Shielding linked to consciousness closely parallels the phenomenon of superconductivity in matter.
Are you prepared for unseen warfare, to defend yourself, your family, relatives and friends against the very causes of suffering and pain? There are incredible traps, subterfuges, dis-information, and deception, which are used against you to prevent you from awakening fully to the very real clear and present danger that threatens you personally and the well-being of everyone near and dear to you. The weapons the Pentagon Meditation Club advocates are prayer and meditation. The Peace Shield Campaign engages an unseen adversary (inner self), and the field of battle is the Battlefield of Consciousness within your own mind and heart. This is the site where struggles originate and take place is in the hearts and minds of people everywhere, starting with your self. The time of battle is your whole life. Spiritual warfare and peacemaking is learning how to win on the Battlefield of Consciousness.
You art not your body or mind your feelings or your thoughts. The tyrant within is the mind that dominates the Self - that part of you created in the image and likeness of your Creator - pure consciousness.
Transformation is Self mastery:
Meeting SELF on the Battlefield of consciousness.
Overcoming THE SELF
Who or What Is the Real Enemy?
Battles are fought first in the mind before being waged on an external battlefield.
Shielding is spiritual defense. It starts by creating a “treaty” with oneself, and between individuals and nations as a way of healing and bringing harmony; for transforming minds and hearts. It then extends what modern physics would call a “biofield” or “unified force field” out from the individual into the community, the nation, and ultimately, the world. This produces what we call the Peace Shield Effect. This invisible force field of Love and Light projects the ultimate first strike capability in dealing with conflicts and problems of all kinds. Creating a Personal Peace Treaty within individuals is offered here as a tried and proven countermeasure for dealing with what are perceived to be threats to security at all levels, personal, national, and international.
The Peace Shield Campaign was inaugurated in 1986 during the International Year of Peace by the Pentagon Meditation Club. It aimed at enlisting people in a network of men, women and children - spiritual warriors of the heart - of all nations, races, religions, and walks of life in projecting a spiritual peace shield for protection in times of crises.
The most effective countermeasure for conflict, evil, and spiritual darkness that exists in the world is direct personal experience of a common ground of being with each other and with God. This level of “being-ness” exits within you and within each person beyond mental barriers and boundaries and even beyond the realm of mental activity. This is the same ground of being that connects everyone to everyone else, a kingdom of heaven that within you. Efforts to experience this level of being, so that you can “Be All You Can Be,” results in transformation of the mind field, and the virtual battlefield.
The practice of using God’s name in a particular way to transcend during meditation/prayer is common to and as old as the world’s major religions. Reaching for the common and higher ground by employing thought this thought technology involves transcending mental activity. A traditional way to do this is by using sound, i.e.your preferred name for the One true God. Two other ways for transcending mental activity of the mind involve visualizing Light, and using the inner stroke and outer stroke of breath.
In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was God . . . A Name or Word is repeated in silence to gradually quiet the mind, provide access to a higher and common ground of consciousness and being. This practice can be shown to activate a "Technology for Transformation" (See New paradigm) This conclusion starts from the commonly held idea that there is but one Most High, an omnipresent. omniscient, and omnipotent essence, which most people call "The Ineffable," "The Unknowable," "the Source," or "God." The first task for peacemakers is to discover the secret of the ages, i.e. how praying the name supports a process for individual and global transformation, so that if it is peace that you seek," whatever you seek or ask in the Name will be granted to you."
