How to end Conflicts?

Outward conflicts in human society has existed from last thousands of years, and it is the result of inward psychological conflicts. We the humans have created it. 

Conflict implies contradiction between 'what-is' and 'what should be'. 

Human beings are violent, this is a fact and same time we imagine that we should be non violent. Violence is 'what is now' and imagination of non violence is 'what should be'. 'What is' is actual whereas 'what should be ' is fictional. 

We are greedy, jealous, violent, selfish and our ego hides it and projects ourselves which we are not. 

Human society is violent because each one of us are violent. We have created society, each one of us responsible for the behavior of the society. Violence is the part of our consciousness. Aggression, competitiveness are also part of violence and is encouraged by civilised society. 

Division in the name of ideals, nationalism and religion is the major cause of conflicts. As this problem is enormous and complex, we never approach it by simple techniques. As long as there is division, conflicts will be there. 

Division is based on beliefs, beliefs gives feeling of security. We accept illusory beliefs like nationalism and religion to secure us but eventually they themselves destroy the very security of human society.

Actually we are all human beings but nationalism and religions divide us between different nations and religions. Wars exist because of nationalism and religions. World is becoming more and more dangerous for human existence. 

God is the invention of the thoughts born out of fear, uncertainty and loneliness. Different gods and ideals also create division in society. 

To end the conflicts one must go into contents of human consciousness. Consciousness is our psychological reactions in the form of beliefs, greediness, selfishness. Crisis is not in the outside world but in our consciousness. 

We are tremendously advanced technological species but psychologically we are still violent, greedy and selfish like an ancient human tribes. Unless there is a psychological revolution, tomorrow we will be exactly the same as yesterday. 

Psychological time is an enemy of man. We use psychological time for gradual evolution. Human brains are conditioned by illusory concepts created in the past by psychological time. 

We should give complete attention to what we are now and what is happening now. Human consciousness is nothing but the contents of past knowledge. This self or me is the response of this knowledge. To give attention to now is the death of past knowledge. One should die to concepts like Gods, religions, nationalism which are part of our consciousness, part of our past knowledge. 

Living in the present is the death of the entire psychological past. Death means ending of all attachments and all concepts.

Where there is fear of death, there is no love, there is ignorance, ignorance invents life after death !!!

Ending is important, not what should be after ending. 

Ending is the secession of wasting of energy. When there is no conflicts, no fear then there is tremendous energy. To live life without wasting energy is an extraordinary life. This is really the art of living that cannot be learnt in schools or from any gurus.
