An Islamic preacher on the payroll of the Palestinian Authority
gave a fiery sermon broadcast on PA television in which he vowed
Muslims would rule America and called Jews an AIDS-like virus
that will soon be finished off.
"Allah has tormented us with 'the people most hostile to the
believers' the Jews," said Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris in his
Friday sermon, which is viewable on the
Middle East Media Research Institute website.

This
weeks spiritual wisdom newsletter is not in response to this
sermon, but in spite of it. How is it that there can be people
who live in the realm of
in God we Hate? This is not a single
instance of this. This is not about one religion, one belief. As
an example, we have in the U.S. the KKK that spews the same kind
of hatred of others.
I
sometimes believe I live in a different world. In my world, I
could be angry with someone who directly harms me, or those I
love. I could have hatred of someone who intentionally tries to
hurt me. I could defend myself, my family, my country. However,
I cannot hold onto anger and hatred. What would happen if I held
onto these? It would mean, I could not hold onto G-d, or Divine
energy, Divine thoughts, words, or Names. So to anger for long,
would mean I would deprive myself of G-d. If I held hatred, it
would mean I was separating myself from G-d. The longer I held
onto these negative emotions the further from G-d I would
become. Eventually, there would not be any Divine parts of my
consciousness. I would be a lost soul.
I would
have to be masochistic to do this to myself. Alternatively,
maybe I would seek power over others as a motivation. People who
use hatred as a tool to control others have the deepest of
spiritual afflictions. It is the ability to see hatred as G-d.
This hatred becomes their idol. In fact, the people they hate,
becomes their idols. What is the definition of idol? An idol
is a thing, idea, concept, way of life, addictionanything that
keeps you focused on your needs and not on others needs. The
person becomes attached to the hatred, thing, or idea. They
become monopolized with hurting the other, taking over their
country, destroying their world. They become addicted to
destroying. This they think is what G-d wants, never
understanding that this is their lower-selves, their unhealed
Egos.
Compassionately we recognize that these people hurt. We need to
realize that their pain is intense. However, we also can be
aware of certain spiritual guidelines. These are:
¨
Hate is always
wrong;
¨
Love is right;
¨
G-d does not
support hate, jealousy, murder, genocide, terrorism, or
inflicting pain on others;
¨
G-d is One; we
are One, One Soul. To hurt another is to hurt ourselves.
¨
In G-ds Name,
we do not Hate. We do not Murder. We do not harm. A message
otherwise is a delusion of the ego.
¨
In G-ds Name,
we only Love.
I pray
that the world finds the Divine and appropriately acts with both
wisdom and understanding. I pray for each of us to see the
Divine in each other. I pray for peace in all our hearts, in our
homes, and in our countries. |
