There is a war raging, and often we are lost in the fog. We have no real visibility of the intelligence agencies, secret society factions, or family groups involved. It's tempting to describe the external battlefield in ways that you cannot really be sure of, and I've been there before and got burnt.
Now I can see that the war is mostly close to home: your internal spiritual and psychological health, your most intimate relationship(s), your family, your neighbours, and your social and professional community. That is real, and your own perspective and understanding is "golden" as it's genuinely how you are seeing and participating in life.
Describing how you faced down your own demons may help others far more than hunting the demonic forces in the world at large. The micro war and the macro war do join together, and focus on the macro is often a distraction from addressing your own micro world.
Thank you, Martin always insightful.
