Sacred Warfare

Five thousand years ago in ancient Egypt, especially under the rule of the Pharaoh Menes, a form of sacred warfare was waged to vastly expand the Egyptian Empire through what were subsequently referred to as the unification wars. Unlike traditional warfare in which violence and destruction were used to reduce an enemy into submission, the pharaoh's army was able to expand the empire by winning the hearts and minds of those they conquered, doing so by bringing about a change in consciousness among peoples that had gone astray or drifted into negativity.

The idea was not to conquer, but to change the vibratory resonance of those they wished to bring under the rule of the pharaoh through drumming, trumpeting, and singing while laying siege to a city. Those playing musical instruments or singing and chanting would march around a city's outer walls to increase the vibratory resonance inside. One of the gates would be left open, so that as people's consciousness was raised, one by one they could leave the city freely. Warriors stayed away from the gate so that people would not be afraid to leave. In effect, they were calling people to a higher state of consciousness exemplified by their actions.

Only in the final stage would an actual ceremonial battle ensue, pitting warrior against warrior, removing the remaining corrupt leadership, military commanders, priests and merchants, who would then be retrained if found guilty of corruption and manipulation. The city itself would be deconstructed and rebuilt after cleansing. Anything that reflected old negative patterns was removed and replaced with structures that would provide genuine empowerment to the people. Populations were not conquered so much as their vibration was raised so that they could be integrated into a more positive empowered way of life.

Fast forward to today where we have a corrupt world leadership that has ruled by usury and manipulation for thousands of years, now in its final desperate death throes, surrounded by energies that are gradually restoring power to the people. Once again we find ourselves in sacred combat with forces of negativity. Could we send in our warriors to capture and arrest all the “bad guys”? Absolutely. Military forces around the world stand at the ready to go in and clean out what remains of corrupt leadership and power brokers who have thrived at an extreme cost to the people. Some wonder what the “good guys” are waiting for. Why do we seem to be unnecessarily extending their abusive rule when a quick resolution is readily at hand?

It is because this is sacred warfare. The powers that be along with a growing contingent of peace-loving people have surrounded those whose hearts need won over with the aim of the raising collective consciousness enough to draw as many into the fold as possible before the military goes in to clean up. How is this accomplished? Think back to Gandhi bringing the entire British Empire to its knees with his non-violent approach to passive resistance. The frequency of the collective vibration of humanity is raised each time someone begins to live and let live, stops pointing the finger, ceases judgment over differences, ends arguments by disengaging from any sense of right or wrong. By understanding that which we do not like in others is that which we do not like in ourselves, we can more easily project love, forgiveness, and compassion, in the process raising our own individual virbrational frequency, which in turn elevates the collective. The sinking ship in which we all ride rises over the waves as we individually grow in awareness that we are all in the same boat together. The truth inspires those who are lost or have been misguided. The collective grows in strength until it overcomes that which has been holding it back. That is where we are today.

War is not the answer. War has only been the answer for those who wish to continue control over us. We are all of one collective: “bad guys” as well as “good guys”. There is no “us” and “them”. Let us pull our sisters and brothers out of the mire by raising our own vibration. The greatest empire Egypt ever achieved was built in just such a manner by an army of sacred warrior-priests who did not win wars through the mastery of combat and weaponry but through a respect for those they sought to win over and the mastery of restoring a natural balance in all the world. The war we fight today shall not be won by arrests and military destruction as many are waiting for, but by compassion and forgiveness for those that have gone astray or drifted into negativity, and only by a higher awareness of the oneness of all of humanity.
