At the ego level there must be conflict, because "I" knows itself
by clashing against another "I." This clash brings about many forms
of evil. War is a vastly expanded version of "I" against "I."
Bigotry and prejudice depend upon the same conflict on a social
level. Hatred in the name of God is actually disguised ego: your
God is unacceptable because he doesn't agree with mine.
You do not have to participate in this clash of "I" against "I." As
your true self you feel contained in others; therefore you have no
stake in protecting your own point of view. With that realization
the source of conflict is healed.
