Good VS Evil

Did you enjoy the Fourth of July? What an opportunity to explore feelings of pride, belonging and inspiration. For many of us who spent the last decade resisting and resenting the Bush administration, pride is not an easy feeling in relation to our government. It's easy to get caught up in a fight. We all have internal conflicts and we love to project them out into the world. Good VS Evil is the template. It always seems so obvious. It was obvious to the colonial revolutionaries that King George was evil and had to be defeated. It was obvious to the other half of the colonists that the radical band of revolutionaries were terrorists and extremists who were trying to disrupt their entire way of life and should be deported (Damned Liberals!). It was obvious to the English that the Americans were confused and had to be taught a lesson, along with their evil French collaborators. Good and evil are always so obvious!

World peace is the goal of every beauty pageant contestant. If our external reality is just a projection of our internal consciousness, how can we achieve that peace?

You have to provide the answer.
