Hi Amy,
Hope your week is going splendidly : ) Here is my response to Lesson 18's prayer related to healing war and our conflict with enemies.
After reading the prayers I called my friend Molly and talked about the prayer related to war. She said that "war is necessary to control the population of the planet and thereby insure continued life on the planet." She agreed that it is important to heal and forgive old grievances and wounds. She thinks that the tenant related to this topic is naïve. She believes there needs to be a balance between good and evil and that is our goal rather than trying to "make everything good." She does not believe that God is solely good.
She believes that everything is God and all that is happening including the ego is all part of the Divine plan. She believes we can move forward as individuals when we resolve old issues and continue to maintain equanimity. When we move forward we can bring others along with us.
