"We encourage the instrument to value itself and to see that its true requirements are valued by the self. We suggest contemplation of true richness of being." It's possible that someone who is impermeable to devaluing themselves is also offered protection to what may appear to be unhealthy.
When the two paths merge, they naturally have something to offer each other I think. Consider that the sts mentality of self love is not just cast aside. Each path must be denying something about themselves, otherwise they wouldn't be separate..perhaps? I don't know..seems reasonable. I say let people enjoy themselves..see things through a lens of love and emotional support. I think by creating an environment of acceptance, those manifestations we wish to extinguish through force simply fade away over time.
Yes, let people enjoy themselves. To vibrate with joy is a great gift to existence. I am making no judgments about what anyone does. (Although, I can say human decisions sadden me very much in that so much cruelty exists in this world.) A person's choices are their own. I wonder what human, here, could be impermeable to devaluing themselves? I do think there is an abundance of protection offered. But this is like a parent protecting a child. The child doesn't know how to act responsibly yet because he/she doesn't have the necessary experience or capacity to make good decisions, so the parent guides the decisions out of love. I am suggesting that humans, in evolving and growing spiritually, would endeavor to take responsibility for their decisions and not do whatever knowing someone else will protect them from the effects.
And, in speculation: If a being outside of 3D protects a human here from their decisions, say, to drink a diet coke, isn't that indirectly adding to the bigger problem of our poisonous food supply, and thus interfering? Because the being protects the human from the ill effects of the diet coke, the human will have no consequences, therefore the human may continue to drink poisonous substances and support the market of producing them. I really don't think an evolved being, one who "helps" here, would do this sort of thing in general.
Finally, this thread doesn't have to be about meat. If everyone could stay on topic and not fixate on Monica's signature, we could talk about the human experience. Why not "accept" Monica's signature for her own expression, and not make it an issue? Why react to it? If someone here wants to discuss Monica's signature, then as I suggested, create a thread about it.
