After the War Begins - Rev Paul Gonyea

The truth is, we do not believe in war because it is in the world. War is in the world because we believe in it. In the Science of Mind text, Ernest Holmes writes, “The more the world arms for war, the more certain it is that there will be war.” As long as we see war as a necessary evil, as an unfortunate but unavoidable event that has existed since civilization began, it will be a part of our world. If we see it as the only way to solve certain problems, our collective consciousness will see that we have plenty of problems that require it. Or as Abraham Maslow, the great psychologist, once said, “When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to look like a nail.”    Paul Gonyea
