Dear Kavi, thank you very much for your well-balanced answer full of wisdom. Somehow, I know all this (I have been working with some spiritual teachers for a long time), but the cruelty of some situations are still overwhelming to me, pushing me back in the divided state of suffering. So it's good to be confirmed in ones deeper intuition! Many thanks to you and Amosa.

Thank you very much for this profound podcast in dialogue.

I listened to it after having heard some Ukrainian soldiers telling their experiences in this war. What these young people were undergoing was tremendously touching and sad. And so overwhelming for them. My questioning then was and is still: how “not mind” in these sort of situations - for people who are caught in first, but also for me struggling with the ongoing repetition of wars in this world I’m arguing with?

Hi Yla. It's a good question Not easily answered on social media. War is the result of divided mind. An aberration. Everything that comes from it creates suffering. The point in one way of 'I don't mind' is to not give it a story, but to be with the naked reality of the suffering. Mind wants to create the story, but that usually triggers us into our own divided state and we add to the division of the world. Can we just be with the naked truth of it all, the raw honesty, without overlaying it with interpretation. The 'I don't mind,' must not become a denial of life but a softening into it.

And of course for those caught in conflict it is impossible to have the luxury of reflecting on these things.

That's why war must end at some point for global civilization to evolve to a more mature level.
