The follow is part of a online conversation held in a spirituality group. It adds a bit more to the previous post. It was part of a discussion, so I may refer to things that seem a bit out of place, but I believe it still portrays the ideas which are relevant.
Here it is…
The personal conflict issue is very interesting. A few days I realized what mine was, and thus why I wrote the above, and also will write the next section to it. But more on that later.
I agree that if we are all one, the power idea is a bit of an illusion. But we are parts of a whole, interlinked. The person that is being abused and continually drained of any positive energy they may have is facing a struggle. Granted the energy stays within the whole, but it has become unevenly distributed. For the people who understand this, it is our job and give energy to those that need it. Believing that they will find it completely on their own, and somehow gain the energy to change their beliefs with no influx of good energy from people willing to give it, is to take on aloof stance….this was my personal conflict by the way. I never realized the full complexity of how this energy system worked before, and how I could have a negative impact without knowing it, or even when trying to have no impact at all.
To resolve conflict we must realize we can pull energy from a source other than fellow humans. If more people start increasing their own energy on their own, through meditation, or simply appreciation of the beauty in this world, then conflict would diminish. Those that needed uplifting would be able to get it from people who had it to give. This creates an elevating cycle where i give you energy in the form (often) of attention and encouragement, and then in return it gets fed back to me. Then the same thing occurs with others, then others, then others.
Once we fully realize that the universe can give everyone what they need, the sense of lack is gone. We no longer need to cling to land, our possessions, even the people in our life. We set everything free, and in so doing set ourselves free. This does not mean we lose everything, but we lose this false idea of control….which creates conflict. Through this we actually gain everything…and if we can foster that belief that there is enough for everyone in way of food, shelter, friendship, romance, love, ideas…then what is left to fight over?
The end result seems far off. But the good thing is that we can create the change right now, just by giving people our attention when it seems like they need it. The end result may not be seen in my life time, but at least the journey will have full of amazing things.

In the next post I will discuss my own person conflicts (and how I create conflict, previously unaware that I was doing so) and how I am overcoming them. Also, we will look at all the general types of conflict personalities so we can be aware of them, and thus neutralize the conflict.
