Is the war won with ships and weapons? <blockquote>"Everything that happens outside is a sign of what is happening inside a person."</blockquote> <img src="/api/media/uploads/chapter-15-cover.webp" alt="Chapter O – Army or no army?" /> <video id="video2013510145628" controls="controls" width="353" height="235" poster="/api/media/uploads/poster-3537-mweovk93.jpg" preload="none"><source src="https://sham.shidur.net/3537roni.mp4 " type="video/mp4" />Your browser doesn't support video.

While Commander Lock looks with "realistic" and logical eyes and does not let "beliefs" of various kinds confuse him with the facts, Morpheus has an inner feeling – which also convinces the Council member – that true victory in the war does not depend only on how many warships and weapons the defense of the fighters of Zion will have. According to Morpheus, the war is an essential war of values, which will be resolved only by dealing with its inner components. The external enemy is only an expression of the inner flaw – as the Baal Shem Tov said, everything that happens outside is a sign of what is happening inside a person, a message sent to him from above so that he will know where he must repair himself. King David wrote: "For behold, Your enemies, O Lord – for behold, Your enemies shall perish." Everyone immediately asks why he repeats himself twice, and the answer is: to hint to us that a pearl is hidden here. When a person understands that all his enemies outside are only disguises of the Programmer, who creates the tests for him in order to help him repair himself ("for behold, your enemies – it is the Lord!"), this very recognition already brings about the repair and causes these outer enemies to have fulfilled their role, and they will disappear ("for behold, your enemies shall perish"). Victory in war depends on understanding its inner essence. Outer, physical fighting – the strength of the hand on the outer level alone – will not bring any real solution, and certainly not victory. "Unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman wakes in vain." On the contrary, "my strength and the might of my hand have gotten me this power" is proof of an awareness imprisoned inside the illusion of the Matrix – another kind of mental slavery to the control mechanism of the agents of the "system." As usual, the secret is in combining. To know how to stand up for your life and to defend what is dear and important to you – and at the same time to know that everything that happens is a spiritual message meant to direct you toward inner repair. Only when the repair of the inner roots is complete will calm be achieved in the outer branches as well. <a href="/en/articles/en-source-79">For the sources of this page, click here >></a> Translated from the Hebrew chapter "צבא או לא צבא?!?" by Roni Ayalon-Hirsch.
