I'm guessing war is a big deal because:
The only wars I could think of that truly were for a good cause would be the american revolution because it created the worlds first real democracy (Gandhi and MLK methods only work with the existence of free press) and any war fought in self defense. But I recall one Ra quote saying something along the lines of "killing someone for any reason in war would help you polarize more to STS" but I'm not sure if I remember it correctly and I can't find the quote.
I'd personally never participate in a war, and if the majority of people felt that way then war would not be possible. If every drafted soldier dragged their feet, went limp, refused to obey any orders, there'd be no military
Quote:33.15 Questioner: Can you list any sub-headings under self or ways the self is acted upon catalytically which would produce experience?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, the self unmanifested. Secondly, the self in relation to the societal self created by self and other-self. Thirdly, the interaction between self and the gadgets, toys, and amusements of the self, other-self invention. Fourthly, the self relationship with those attributes which you may call war and rumors of war.
