Most English-speaking people hear the word "Jihad" and immediately equate it to "war". Most don't realize that a more accurate English word translation of Jihad is "struggle". Why does this matter? Wars end. Struggles remain. and all these "lesser jihads" of human beings belie the meaning of the "greater Jihad", that struggle that exists within the consciousness of each individual. The greater Jihad is an internal, ongoing experience with the diversion of the content of your own thoughts and emotions. The struggle is finding the source of these thoughts. Then to choose - between that which comes from God, and that which comes from the earth. These are the Two Witnesses within your consciousness. Focus on, and commune with, that conscious perception of all that is good; founded in Love. This is where you find the conduit inside you to connect the the power of the One God. Creation and destruction will go on, it is the way of the laws of nature, authored by God at the beginning of everything we know. 

Know the divine power of mind within yourself, and connect with the most high. You will see it is an eternal experience never to end. Your consciousness exists well beyond the restrictions of time and space on this tiny planet.
