Why does God allow war to happen? 

 

War is happening. Denying that would be spiritual by-passing.

 

God is Love. Denying that would be spiritual by-passing. 

 

So how come Love allows for war to happen? 

 

God, or Consciousness, simply is. Thoughts, too. And thoughts have the power to empower thoughts, or say one thought is true and another isn’t. 

 

This is how an apparently separate self comes into existence. There is a thought that says ‘I thought that!’, and - even if the separate ‘I’ cannot be found, it is still pre-supposed to exist. That separate ‘I’ is just a tiny tiny form of Consciousness.

 

Thought by thought, the separate ‘I’ becomes larger and larger, until its existence is no longer even challenged. Slowly, that ‘I’ identifies with the body, which makes the separation seem even more real. 

 

The belief in separation immediately creates conflict. When ‘I’ am separate from everything and everyone else, I must do things for my survival. Eventually, when a lot of separation is believed to exist, war happens. 

 

So God - Consciousness - created neither war nor separation. Anything that arises within Consciousness is allowed, accepted, and loved. Indeed, Consciousness is one with all things, including guns. Thought is not the problem, either. It is the thoughts that empower separation and are believed that are the problem. For Consciousness, all thoughts are the same - made of itself.  

 

Hence war, seen as the opposite of peace, is just another useful tool to realise the deeper level of reality - Consciousness itself. Separation is anger and war, which is non-acceptance, or distance, from what is. That seems to be the opposite of Consciousness, which is all-accepting - it accepts everything, including non-acceptance. The more a separate self fights its True Nature, the more separate it feels, and the more angry it becomes. This cycle continues until it remembers to look within to find its Source - Consciousness.
