Summary/Abstract: Issue 9 of MEΘEXIS Journal gathers research papers on a critical matter today: war. War can be not only apparent, as armed conflict, but also hidden, an inner tension and struggle. Do these sorts of conflicts have common strands? Do the origins of seen and unseen conflicts have the same source? Is this source on a spiritual level? If it is implied that this is the origin, can it provide a pathway to resolve conflicts and tensions? If so, can spiritual practice develop resolution strategies for the seen and unseen war? The impact of spiritual practice extends beyond the individual level; it reaches the community. This is because it implies the development of awareness not only of the self but also of others, recognizing that they share the same humanity. At the spiritual level of apprehension, such practice alters how we perceive reality. The struggles, tensions, and conflicts are seen from a different perspective, revealing the profound mechanisms and dynamics, as well as their sources and resolutions.
