Ever notice how it’s almost always during Ramadan that Israel or the US decide to suddenly conduct illegal wars against Muslim populations?
You think that’s a coincidence?
I don’t.
I think it’s full-on spiritual warfare.
The materialist world-view would have you believe that your state of mind and spirit has nothing to do with governments, politicians, bombs, media and wars in the ‘real’ world.
I don’t buy it.
And I don’t think the demonic forces behind the mass-killing of children buy it either.
Those same politicians, media and other forces, while selling you a materialist world view, are doing everything they can to negatively influence your state of mind and spirituality.
I don’t think the target of these attacks is only the victims, in what used to seem like ‘far away’ places.
I believe the target is also you and me.
Look at it this way:
How much time have you spent watching the news or glued to your social media feed over the last few days?
And how much time have you spent doing presence-filled prayer and glued to the Quran?
A lot of people are getting distracted from Allah – the Almighty One who can actually stop a war or change a world order, instantly. And we’re getting seduced into feeling powerless while watching world powers make dumb moves that defy all reason.
It’s hard to look away… But there’s no benefit in watching.
It reminds me of a beautiful verse of the Quran:
“Dear People, from God, what lured you away?
From The Giving, who created, gave shape,
And formed you as He chose, in the best way?”
[Quran 82:6-8]
How lame would it be, to answer Allah’s question with… “Errm, social media and fake news.”
Personally, I consider what’s happening to be more than physical warfare that only affects those directly involved in fighting. I consider it to be actual spiritual warfare being conducted against you and me, personally.
It’s designed to undermine the very purpose of Ramadan, which is, as the Quran puts it:
“…that you may become more conscious”
The moment we fall into a zombie-like smartphone and TV watching state, our consciousness decreases.
It’s not just the news that distracts us from Allah, either. Ever notice how all the best TV shows always come out during Ramadan? And big blockbuster movies?
TV stations in the Muslim world count on higher advertising revenues during this month.
The most powerful weapon you and I have against all the demonic forces in the world is what I call, “The Spiritual Switch”.
You can think of it as simply entering a state of presence and awareness of Allah’s constant presence. In other words, the psychological, spiritual state of ‘Zikr Allah’.
The moment you do this, you suddenly feel calm, peaceful, spiritually connected.
With some training, you discover you can live in this space for much longer than you thought was possible.
And it turns out that this is a much more powerful place to come from if you are involved in any form of real activism (other than frowning at your phone).
But perhaps more importantly, by increasing your own level of consciousness, you increase the consciousness of the planet as a whole.
And from where I’m sitting, it sure looks like the planet needs it.
