Healing; Taliban
Mary (B): What do you do about the Taliban and others who kill, who hate?
The world will always have such people. Are you ready as individuals, as a sangha, as a nation, to begin to step forth and say no to such hatred?
I have always found it odd that in your world countries have armies that go out and fight with weapons. They even have a Peace Corps that goes out and does honorable and helpful work to help people have clean water and other such.
But they don’t have a Peace Army of well-trained people who can simply come together—live where it’s easy; otherwise simply setting a time and all holding the intention. If enough people in this world sat down at the same time right now and envisioned the Taliban not as a vast army but as individuals—it would be wonderful if you could get pictures, photographs of each one of these Taliban fighters, but lacking that, just picturing a human that has been raised with the idea of hatred of others and that their idea is the only right idea. So filled with fear.
Using your spiritual authority, your love, the energy you call down—what can you do? You can bring that energy down and surround a city like Kabul, just holding such a high vibration around the city that it becomes very uncomfortable for those who hate.
You can possibly get pictures of those who are terrified that they will be killed. You have a group, I believe it is Amnesty International, that sometimes sends out pictures of people in distress and asks for different kinds of support for those people. It could be a very similar operation, that people who are in distress tell of their distress and fear to the peace holders. That they send out a photograph and information about that person and ask people to help create a dome of light around that person, even help move that dome of light gradually toward the borders of the country and out.
There is a word of caution, here. That of negative polarity is so angry and afraid that when it sees that dome of light, it can become something to slash out at. It could lead to repercussions, to killing.
Then you say, have we not caused that killing by bringing in the light?
Perhaps these people have come in some way as teachers, much as happened in your civil rights movement—people who were willing to be on the front lines, even willing to be killed, with the idea, how many will they have to kill before they stop? Gandhi did this.
You cannot ask these people; they would say, “No, I did not come to get killed.” But perhaps in the deepest sense, some of them did.
You have to trust another being’s karma. Bringing in light will attract the loyal opposition, as Aaron calls it. It will attract negativity; or perhaps it will help to repel negativity.
At first it will attract it because the loyal opposition wants to show its power, and if it sees light, it will say, “Let’s see if we can overwhelm that light.”
However many of you are needed, you can hold such a strong light that the darkness backs up of its own free will.
I’m using some of the imagery I find in Barbara’s mind. There are always going to be the Darth Vaders who are so sure they can conquer light that they charge in.
I like these Star Wars movies, as I have seen them in Barbara’s mind and various of your minds, because they are such a clear statement of the dark versus light.
The light does not fear the darkness. The light respects the power of the darkness. It understands that the darkness will do everything that it can to take power, but it does not fear the darkness.
Understand the difference between fear and respect. Treat the darkness with respect.
That means simply not negating it, not telling it it’s bad, evil. Understand it is what it is because of its own conditioning. It experienced that conditioning that made it into darkness, that led into darkness, and now it is deeply caught in that darkness.
You are not only serving those in Afghanistan—for example, not only serving those who are fleeing for their lives— by bringing in light, but by offering that light you are also showing those who are caught in the darkness that there is an option.

So, what can you do? That video of the people hanging onto the plane, look at it. Pick out somebody in that video and then turn off the video and just hold loving energy for them.
First ask, “May I offer you light?” and feel their response. If they say, “No, I’m filled with hate. I don’t want light,” let them be. It’s their free will choice.
If you feel a sense of, “Yes, please help me,” then continue to offer light. Using the video, literally see their body. And as Barbara did yesterday, see the elements of the body and help offer light, helping support the radiance and heat and love within the elementals, energizing the body, giving them strength to be with whatever comes to them.
You don’t know how it will play out. Perhaps they will be forced to fight. Perhaps they will become beheaded. Can they do that with love, not hatred?
Love can spread in so many ways.
