First, this is a problem with the world’s religions not recognizing (or teaching) their oneness with other spiritual groups/faiths, indeed all peoples. Further, it is a story of mistrust and abuse of power among the major religions who fight even amongst themselves. Examples largely being the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths fighting with each other and not living up to the essence of their teachings, i.e. Brother and Sisterhood [the prophets/founders of each of these faiths most certainly didn’t teach division.] People when spiritually aligned towards a common goal, can transcend their differences of intolerance but they must be willing to put aside their petty differences and focus on what is important for the whole, such as the parties involved in the Middle East process (reconciliation) are now attempting.
The Jews and Moslems of the Middle East are prime examples of these petty squabbles. Here in America, each sect of the Christians claims they have the final word on what Jesus or God has said. In the last 25 years the “Christian Right” has entered the political arena to advance their agenda. The Gulf War and the oil embargo of 1973 proves how much we can be taught to mistrust or hate Moslems, e.g. seeing them depicted as terrorists or with intentions of Saddam Hussein. But that borders more into a political intolerance as well. Each of these are examples of current issues that are confronting disciples who are truly interested in peace. It should be clearly understood , that any disciple working in world affairs must be aligned towards the seeing the whole picture and put their own agenda second.
The major challenge for the worlds religions today is to find a way to teach about the presence of God in all things and of the possibility of spiritual transcendence such as was taught by Jesus of Nazareth. The time for the churches (predominantly Christian) to control people is past. People should be taught to use their minds and their hearts to work in a spirit of Right Hunan Relations with each other and their environment. The upcoming new world religion will be based partly upon an understanding of the technology of using the mind (thoughts), body (etheric) and emotional (love/wisdom in action) control and the responsibility therein.
