Post No. 3,506 - What do warriors do in a post conflict society?

Spiritual - and personal/moral - evolution leads to number of advantageous outcomes, and one of those is (or should be) a reduction in all forms of conflict as collaborative resolution becomes the norm, rather than drama, quests for social status, sadism/narcissism/etc. 

That reduction will also include a reduction in war - in fact, an elimination of intra-planetary war. 

When that happens, there is a question about what to do with former soldiers. 

Some will still be needed for defence, but those that are not will need to be integrated into society - which is a major aspect of things like ending the decades of war, often entangled with drugs or blood minerals, in some regions around the world (regions which could have been rich if their resources were used properly, for the benefit of the people of those regions).  

This includes economic challenges such as finding jobs for everyone, social justice issues such as the utterly essential accountability (on ALL sides - and there can be many more than two) for past abuses, and dealing with trauma (including of civilians) from both the experience of war, and training for war, which can be incredibly psychologically, morally, and spiritually damaging. 

This also applies to nonphysical conflicts, such as the current world struggle against fascism, neoliberalism, a and the ultra-rich elites of the world: one day that war will be won by us, the ultra-rich elites will disappear, and healing society will include all the matters raised above. 

Now, at this point I want to point out that this article wasn’t inspired by consideration of physical events, but by some channelled comments by ETs about “warrior species” - which may be the biases of the medium, but, be that as it may, the topic is still going to be valid for us - or, more accurately, those of us who survive the climate crisis and are alive in a few centuries. 

From the point of view of the now former warrior, what they do now, in war cursed cultures, is (as a generic simplification)

(1) try to survive the adaptation back to civvies; 

(2) try to heal; 

(3) face a personal choice: either try to build/rebuild, or try protection/security to try to justify what they have been through 

What they do when the violent conflict is gone is (as a generic simplification)

(1) adapt to the change; 

(2) heal as best they can; 

(3) do something to build OR take the protection/security role into the nonphysical (protection can be against the innocently disharmonious - not all “war” is against evil).  

And, in all cases, during the conflict, IF possible, keep some focus on minimising the trauma - especially the moral injury, and do what damage control can be done now. 

That last point applies to those doing the work of this blog.

Post No. 3,500 - Some (hopefully) interesting reading / viewing / listening - Saturday, 1st August, 2026

I recently found the following interestingoand/orouseful, and am posting them here inocase anyoneoelse does asowelll.  

 

  • “Our Paranormal Afterlife : Finding Proof of Life After Death:   Living the Life Your Soul Intended”   https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/our-paranormal-afterlife-finding-proof-of-life-after-death/id1354455555?i=1000778172254   “This episode I'm talking to Ainslie MacLeod about his book The Instruction: Living the Life Your Soul Intended Ainslie specializes in exploring past lives to reveal your life’s purpose, and has been a featured guest on Oprah’s SuperSoul Conversations Series. He lives on a tranquil island in the Pacific Northwest. Everything you are—your personality, beliefs, aspirations, talents and fears—is the result of your soul’s many incarnations. To help you tap into this wealth of past-life experience and dramatically increase your potential for success in this lifetime, past-life psychic and author Ainslie MacLeod offers THE OLD SOUL'S GUIDEBOOK: Who You Are, Why You're Here, and How to Navigate Life on Earth. Building on his award-winning books THE INSTRUCTION and THE TRANSFORMATION, Ainslie delivers unique insights and exercises to help you: Understand why your destiny is so much more obvious than you think Identify past-life sources of present-life issues like low self-esteem, unexplained ailments, and irrational fears Escape the victimization trap through self-empowerment “Past lives explain everything,” shares Ainslie. “Without knowing where you’ve been, you can never truly know where you’re going. Understanding your soul’s journey is the key to living a happier and more fulfilling life.” Bio For over two decades, past-life psychic, spiritual teacher, and author Ainslie MacLeod has helped thousands of old souls discover their life purpose and overcome the fears and blocks keeping them from living it. But Ainslie wasn’t always psychic. A lifelong skeptic, everything changed the day he encountered his deceased uncle in a bookstore in Hawaii. That life-changing experience led him to connect with elevated spirit guides, who revealed his mission: to illuminate the life plan of others and guide them toward meaning and fulfillment.”     
  • “BTS Livestream with Steve Neill and Guest Jeff Selver”   https://www.youtube.com/live/6eT96R1k2qs   This was interesting - I always like hearing others use terms like “Oversoul” and concepts such as parallels, but I have slightly different view on some of the time aspects discussed. This is well worth a listen and a think    

 

On neurodivergenceoand associatedomatters:    

I’ve decided to throw a few smalll personaloobservations (and/or vents/rants) into these posts - the sort of passingocomment that doesn’towarrant a note onoSubstack, let alone a complete standalone post here. And my first such comment is:    

I have realised myoAuDHD made me being an accepted “traditional” / “normal” large scaleoleader impossible. I amogood at (and have done this) leading a small scale, and once - decades ago, before the most prolonged of the severeotrauma I have experienced - did so on a regionally significant scale, but I have struggled with life since. 

Now, I need help to, in particular, manage some of my AuDHDoweaknesses (counsellingohas got the traumaounder reasonable - not perfect - control ... enough for me to get by, if not thrive), and there is none to be found ... 

And there are many others who have been robbed of their potential - more so than me, in many cases - by our aggressively over-commercialised, hierarchical, cultified work patterns.     

 

On society, governance, humanorights, etc:    

  • “I am once again asking y’all to please stop using the term “white supremacy.””   https://cherisemorris.substack.com/p/i-am-once-again-asking-yall-to-please   “I’m sure we’ve all heard that naming a thing is power.”   An EXCELLENT and VERY IMPORTANT spiritual perspective - and the author’s term “white racial hierarchy” is more accurate, although I may use “white racist hierarchy”, which feels like it has more impact   
  • “Beyond M23: Addressing the Underlying Drivers of the DRC Conflict”   https://africacenter.org/spotlight/drc-congo-conflict-drivers-beyond-m23/   “Stabilising eastern DRC will not ultimately be achieved on the battlefield, but by rebuilding intra-Congolese and African processes to address issues of citizenship, security sector reform, and greater transparency of the mineral sector.”   

 

My recent article(s) ono...:   

Nothing written anywhere else this week.
