Hilarion's Perspective on Russia and Ukraine

 Hilarion: There have been many questions about what is happening in Russia and Ukraine. But, we do want to draw your attention to Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania. These countries joined NATO in 2004 many years after the United States through the elder President Bush promised the Russians, promised the world that NATO will not extend any further towards Russia. You will notice that these three countries border Russia and other countries have joined NATO since that promise was made.

So, from the point of view of the Russian people and of course Mr. Putin, a promise was made and a promise was broken. Then, after entering into NATO it was easy for The United States to deploy nuclear weapons, missiles, and all kinds of potentially devastating things and more recently bio-weapons into these countries neighboring Russia. The equivalent to this can be seen historically with the Bay of Pigs; where Russia brought missiles into Cuba, close to US shores in reaction to the United States bringing weapons into Turkey. So, The United  States removed the weapons from Turkey and Russia removed the weapons from Cuba.

But, then, more recently having these nuclear arsenals right at Russia’s border, minutes from Moscow, minutes from anyplace in Russia has been troubling and it has been troubling to the Russian people and it has been very troubling to Mr. Putin. 

Thus, in his own consciousness there could be retribution for this by the destruction of Ukraine, a bordering country as if to say, “you were thinking of joining NATO, now you will not.” Along the way though, the idea is to demonstrate to the world, Russia’s might and to punish those who would take steps in such direction and punish them beyond reason, punish them beyond anything that anyone could accept as that of within the consciousness of what any human being could do to another human being. Short of nuclear war, short of widespread deployment of biological weapons that could cause death. All of these things are within the consciousness of Mr. Putin. 

At the same time, there is pride at work for the other leaders of the world. For Zelensky, for Biden and for the leaders of all of these countries that are close to Russia. That pride would say, ”now that you have gone down this road, you cannot back from it. You cannot go backwards.” If Putin pulls out, if the war is stopped because it is too expensive or he has a change in consciousness, within a few months, he would, of course, lose his position as dictator. He would be overthrown. Someone else would take over who seems stronger because when you lose a war and when you act as if something you did was a big mistake, of course, there are many who turn against you.

So, his pride to keep this going, most likely will continue. But, what we say, given this relationship that is long-standing with NATO and Russia could be an opening to an ending of this war. The pride of those in USA would then be sacrificed. They would say, we will withdraw our nuclear arsenals, our weapons of destruction against Russia from the bordering countries and we will encourage and join NATO to say to Ukraine, “you may not be part of NATO at this time.“

These two things would be seen by Putin as a “win,” and it is potentially possible, we can only make predictions based on every simulation, we put it at about 70%, not as likely as we’d like but 70% is pretty good that he would withdraw, call back the forces  from Ukraine and say enough destruction. There would be no apology, it would simply be a way in which then the country would rebuild as a neutral country, not so much associated with either Russia or NATO. 

But, it would, of course, be a very difficult position for the United States to be in.   There are many in USA who simply are not aware of the role that US has taken in NATO in deploying various military bases in all of these countries belonging to NATO and most importantly the three we’ve mentioned. 

This is one possibility that the guides and helpers, at a very practical level are presenting to the world leaders at this very moment. It is not a great solution, of course. But, it does offer the opportunity to immediately stop the violence. Should Putin not accept this, and if instead Putin decides, “I will continue with my assault as if to prove to the world my power,” and it is possible his pride will push him in such a direction. Then, the withdrawal of nuclear arms and various military bases from these three countries would not significantly hurt USA but it would potentially put those countries in danger to some extent from Russian incursion in the future.  

Still though, one could make the argument that it is a gesture of some strength and power and should certainly be that which is extended to Putin at this time. Beyond this, it naturally brings up all of the underlying issues, what can I as an individual do? What can I do if I’m not so connected to the political realm, do to help somebody else? Not an easy question to answer and for a few individuals there will be strength in knowing that what is yours to do is of course, to provide help to Ukranians who are suffering tremendously right now. To extend to them a place to stay, to extend to them some aid or money or extend to them an acknowledgment, at the very least of the suffering or difficulty that they are gong through. 

Any country that  produces a significant number of refugees in a short time is under a tremendous degree of stress and it may be possible for you to assist with some of that stress by very deliberately sending love or healing or an energetic that says to them, “Yes, you have been uprooted, yes, you have to see things differently.” But, there is also a higher, more beautiful, helpful limitless perspective for which there is energy, from which there is love. 

Some wish to do this with a visualization such as a pulsating light in your heart that you send to another place to assist those who are struggling. But, the greater lesson here is of course, that these individuals are experiencing much higher levels of uncertainty; much greater levels of fear not knowing what is going to happen to them and their families next and instead of saying, “it will be alright.” It’s sometimes better to say, “I also experience uncertainty. I also am in a place of “I don’t know.” But, I am also holding that it is ok. I don’t have to know at all times. I can go to a place in which it is confusing or difficult and let it go and instead remember the nature of my being as limitless, as consciousness, as light. Whatever is the truth as you are experiencing it when you ask such a question as, “who or what is experiencing this right now?”
