Worship?

[Sacred Fool]

One could say that starvation or being maimed or killed from the horrors of war could be traced to some sort of karmic choice. But how do you justify hurting the plant and animal life dropping nuclear bombs, the torture of animal factory farms or the modern horrors of lambs being cruelly slaughtered? How is this choosing suffering from the sufferer's point of view?

What is cruel upon the level of the illusion may be purposeful through the eyes of Spirit.  Some find it useful neither to confuse nor conflate these two levels.  When the lessons of one plane are no longer needed, one moves along to further spiritual study.  The lessons of this tumultuous classroom, the aliens say, are meant to lead us to abandon reliance upon our orientation towards the illusion and take refuge in the heart.  From there, through those eyes, the old ways are experienced differently; but seen merely from a standpoint within the illusion, very little changes.

It might be similar with worship.  Simply seen from the standpoint of the illusion, it may appear of questionable worth, but through the eyes of the heart it has unending value.  Moving from one viewpoint to the other, they say, is but a journey of 14 or so inches from the head to the heart.
