Peregrinus, based on what you've written here and in your other posts, I suspect that you may find ample food for thought and solace within the Gita, with many interesting comparisons to the Law of One.
One of the interesting things about it is that there are some people who believe it's based on historical events, an actual war that took place and killed countless people, and perhaps a development of rocket technology and "dirty" nuclear weapons thousands of years ago. From this point of view, the Gita is not just spiritual advice, but includes remnants of factual accounts that can help us understand specific situations that occurred in objective reality.
Meanwhile, other people believe there might not be a single incident in the Gita that relates to anything that actually occurred. These people interpret the whole thing as a metaphor for the warring aspects of the human personality that find integration and peace in seeking union with the divine.
Either way, it's clear that the whole story is kicked off by the report of a soldier seeking spiritual wisdom about his ultimate duty.
