HOW TO STOP A WAR
by Serge Kahili King

First of all, let's define a war.

When one group of people tries to take something from another group of people who resist, we call that a war. It can be on the scale of a "gang war" or on the scale of big groups in different countries. It is important to note that countries don't go to war. It is big groups of people in those countries that go to war. Often, other groups in each of those countries don't want to go to war.

The group that starts the war is the Aggressor. The group that resists is the Defender.

What follows are my ideas on stopping a war at the country level.

1. Here are ways that the Aggressor can win the war:

a) The Aggressor can have so many soldiers and so much weaponry and so much skill that the Defender can no longer resist and must surrender or be destroyed.

b) The Defender is doing its best, but needs help and other Groups in other Countries that could help refuse to, thus letting the Aggressor win and take over or destroy the Defender.

c) Other Groups do help the Defender, but not enough to stop the Aggressor.

2. Here are ways to stop the war.

a) Other Groups talk the Aggressor and the Defender into negotiating for peace. If this happens, it will always be to the benefit of the Aggressor.

b) The Defender, with or without help, succeeds in resisting the Aggressor, either because of superior weaponry and skill, or because the Aggressor can no longer sustain the aggression.

c) Other Groups lay down sanctions on the Aggressor that are so severe the Aggressor has no choice but to stop the war.

3. Here are ways NOT to stop the war.

a) Other Groups call for peace negotiations and are ignored by the Aggressor and the Defender.

b) Other Groups lay down sanctions on the Aggressor that are irritating, but not severe enough to stop the Aggressor, especially when there are Even Other Groups that provide the Aggressor with what it needs.

b) Small groups in other countries protest against the war, often because they do not want anyone to be killed. The intention is good, but, having no power to actually do anything, all Big Groups ignore them, except in some countries where the Aggressor Group will arrest or execute them.

c) Pray for peace. Again, the intention is good, but this is so vague and general that it has no effect.

4. When physical means cannot stop a war, then metaphysical means might help. It is not possible to control the behavior of other people metaphysically, but it is possible to infuence it. However, this works best when it is done FOR something, rather than AGAINST something. Using an active meditation to stop someone from doing something doesn't work, because the focus on bad behavior energizes it. and those who behave badly have no motivation to stop. A focus on good behavior energizes that behavior, and gives hope to those who practice it. So, how is it done? I will start with an active meditation that we use very successfully in Hawaii to prevent or diminish the effects of hurricanes.

a) Use whatever technique you know to get into a meditative state. One way is to get centered in your Inner Garden. Another is to become one with your aura, or La'a Kea. Use whatever you know.

b) Focus on the hurricane, accept it as being alive, aware and responsive. It helps to think of it or imagine it from above.

c) Become one with the hurricane if you can, or allow your spiritual self to communicate with it.

d) Ask or sense which directions the hurricane is willing to go. Pick one of those directions that goes away from the island, or, if all of them go toward it, pick one of those directions that is likely to produce the least effect.

e) Stay in contact and energize your feel-good emotions in whatever way you know how and use them to energize the chosen direction.

f) Finish by thanking the hurricane, let yourself come back to yourself, be aware of where you are, take a deep breath and come out of the meditation.

This has worked well for hurricanes in Hawaii ever since we moved here in 1986. On one occasion, Hurricane Iniki came unexpectedly. It was far to the south of the islands heading west when it made a right angle turn north straight to and over Kauai. Susan and I were in California. Gloria and others only got a four hour notice. Although it caused a lot of physical damage, it brought people together and was dubbed "Hurricane Aloha." No one died directly from the hurricane. On another occasion, Hurricane Iselle was predicted to smash through all the islands. With our help, it only hit the lower east side of Big Island, doing damage to a small number of trees. Two examples of influence, but not control.

5. How to influence a war.

a) Use whatever technique you know to get into a meditative state. One way is to get centered in your Inner Garden. Another is to become one with your aura, or La'a Kea. Use whatever you know.

b) Focus on a symbol of a Group of people you want to help. It could be the land area of the country, a national flag, or something else that, for you, represents the people. Accept it as being alive, aware and responsive. Think of it or imagine it from above.

c) Become one with the symbol, if you can, or allow your spiritual self to communicate with it.

d) Ask or sense what kind of future the people want. If there are several futures that come to you, pick one of those futures that provides the least harm and the most good.

e) Stay in contact and energize your feel-good emotions in whatever way you know how (I use excitement and happiness) and use them to energize the chosen symbol until you feel like it is enough.

f) Finish by thanking the symbol, let yourself come back to yourself, be aware of where you are, take a deep breath and come out of the meditation.
