Norway has lost its virginity. Terrorism in its worst form hit Norway only a few days ago. I feel extremely sad.
Around seventy-five young people were killed in a terrible way on July 22nd. They were shot - one bullet and they were gone. These young people were participating in a peaceful, political seminar. They were taking part in something they believed in and worked for - equal rights for all inhabitants of Norway, whether that be black or white, Muslim, Buddhist, Hinduist, Jewish or Christian.
Never had we thought that this would happen to us. We thought it only happened in the USA, Finland and other countries.
I have so many thoughts, so many questions. How could this young man kill innocent people? Why did he do that? What does he feel afterwards? Is his mind completely together?
My first reaction when I heard about the action was: What a bastard! Let him die.
Will this help the young people who were killed? Will it help the families of these young boys and girls?
I believe the answer is no.
Other forces will take care of this - the murderer will have to live with the karma in his next life and the next one and the next one.
Instead of spending my energy on this murderer, I put all these young people into the Light - these young boys and girls who were taken so brutally away from us. I put their families and friends into the Light. I also do the same with the killer's family and friends. They all suffer. We all do - all Norwegians do - people around the world have proved that standing together is important. People in other countries suffer - many of them know what we are going through. We pray together, we light millions of candles, we put down flowers in front of cathedrals, in lakes, in front of Norwegian embassies in many countries, in front of homes.
In this way we support others as well as ourselves.
This is a tragedy to mankind. May we learn something from it. May we still trust people. May we not get paranoid or suspicious. May we still believe in the best in everyone. May we pray for those who need guidance and help. May our hearts be filled with love.
I have lit a candle each day to send Light to all those who need it. I will now go and light a candle again. Also, I ask for support to live my life in harmony with others and with love.
