Racial prejudice is a state of mind
GamingPeople are often afraid of things they know little about. This is evident in the way animals are killed rather than understood. It is also the reason why wars occur and military personnel can more easily kill their enemies if they do not confront them on a personal level. However, living in a multicultural society is difficult unless one breaks those prejudices and joins the community.
In Australia we have a situation where people are welcomed from all over the world. They are accepted and supported by both governments and people. Many of these immigrants find it difficult to assimilate because they bring racial prejudice from their home countries.
This is brainwashed from birth by parents who live in fear and are mostly abused by the governments of their own countries. They cannot change until something important happens that forces them to accept that they are not all the same as those they left behind.
This reminded me some time ago when the Spirit led me to speak to a woman at a local mall. She sat alone on a bench when I walked over and started a conversation. She seemed a bit puzzled at first, but then I got excited. When her husband arrived, he was delighted that we were talking and asked me to be his friend.
Yes! That is precisely what God wanted too. It turned out that she was pregnant and in her mother’s absence she asked me to be in labor. For some time, it happened that the empty space in his heart for his mother was somewhat filled with my friendship.
However, there was much more to his story, and in the months that followed it all came to light. He was from Iran, which had been taken over by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or Supreme Leader, after its king was deposed. The country was in a state of war with the West and the Iran-Iraq war followed.
The family sold and fled to Turkey to escape the compulsory service of 12-14 year old boys who were forced to march in front of tanks to clear land mines. This lady’s brother was reaching that age. In Turkey he was sent to Sweden with human traffickers. She came to Australia with her husband, who had a temporary residence, and the father returned to Iran.
The mother, however, was trapped in Turkey. He lived in constant fear of the police, who had a policy of arresting fugitives from Iran and selling them at the border. When this was presented to me, the difficult situation seemed impossible to resolve, as many had tried to get her out of the country without success.
My reincarnation and my link with the Spirit of the Universe gave me a channel of communication and it was God who took charge to free her and bring her safely to Australia. It took her time, but she finally managed a flight that reunited her and her daughter after years of stress and separation.
When he arrived, he had a left side paralysis due to a stroke that occurred on his way to Ankara and the Australian Embassy. When I touched her, she immediately raised her arm above her head as the healing took place. The Spirit had already given her a dream of this happening and she was delighted.
The bottom line is that we don’t know who these people are who are forced to flee from tyranny and persecution, but God does. Instead of seeing them as strangers, we should embrace them and delve into their stories. Many fear their new country, wherever it may be, because of what has been expelled from their homeland.
Racial prejudice is a state of mind and must be overcome. Once we meet these people and interact with them, they have a chance to settle down and become friends.
