I
wrote the message below on September 14, 2001 and sent it to a
spiritualist board to which I used to write. The American people were
living the aftermath of the horrible events that had happened three
days before. The American members of the list were outraged and shocked
and I was seeing people who would never reveal the least negative
feeling talking about war and revenge as if taken by a collective
obsession. The message was one of several that I wrote at that time in
an effort to wake them up from the illusion that war would be the best
choice.

When
I was a boy in this life I was very interested by military strategies
but had a force within me that avoided me from both liking war
atrocities or getting involved in aggressions of any kind. The science
of war fascinated me; the horrors of war terrified me.
I
only learnt the reason for such apparently conflicting feelings when I
did a regression some years ago. I was a young man during the Franco
Prussian war and my father was a very high level man in the Prussian
army, a general, I think. My father had taught my brother and me
everything about strategies and the brave actions conducted in wars. I
was fascinated with his stories whereas my brother hated them. When it
was the proper time I went to the army anxious to go to war, what my
brother refused to do. The war began and there I went, brave and full
of illusion about glory and national pride. After the war was over I
was back home another man. Having killed and injured many enemies,
having seen my friends dying in agony, having seen so much blood
pouring from wounds with no help available, so much misery and despair,
I was shocked and deluded. My eyes stared at the apparently empty space
before me and I spent the rest of my life like that, wandering
everywhere while me eyes would only show me the horrors of that war and
the atrocities I had done and seen. The Law of Casualty worked its way
at me very quickly. In my following life, according to another
regression, I was a merchant in Arabia conducting my family to a safer
place when a German aircraft bombing killed us all.
Now
I am a man of Peace. Wars no longer confound me. Wars cause wars.
Violence produces violence. The only granted defense against violence
is Peace, Peace, and much Peace.
