Thank you for saying that. Wouldn't it be tragic if we simply took these reading to reinforce our preconceived ideological biases? How much insight we would miss!
Quote:I have read the Q'uo channeling and I agree with its Spirit but perhaps not with its implied course of action.
I didn't see an implied course of action with respect to policy, though. Honestly, it would alarm me if Q'uo were weighing in on policy matters! I do think there's a tendency among us to draw quick conclusions on how Q'uo's words map to our phenomenal reality. It's not a huge deal except when, as it is here, it gets in the way of clear communication and coming together in oneness.
The only implied course of action I read was to bring all the elements and parties involved in this question into one's heart. Of course a philosophy of oneness would encourage us to welcome all; that should surprise nobody. However, I think the voices talking about the practical problems of free migration are valid. That's why in the last post I tried to draw a distinction between our political agency here and our spiritual agency.
Quote:All I know is that it would certainly be unloving to shame other people into taking homeless people into their homes.
Yeah, I agree. I think the desire to interpret Q'uo's points as a policy prescription comes from the same place as rejecting the interpretation: that the key here is control, through implementing the right policy at the national or international scale. But none of us have that control. What matters is how we react to the situation, not whether we have the right ideological position!
It would be unloving to demand that, because I extend love in a certain way, it is therefore a duty of others to extend love in that way.
Quote:I think love in 3D has more to do with beingness than doingness. Once you get into the doing sphere you are walking in the realm of wisdom.
Totally agree. That's why I'm pointing out that on this matter, few of us are really doing anything but simply and futilely reacting to conditions. It is in focusing on our beingness that we will connect with a broader, more subtle agency that can change this entire situation out from underneath the actors.
