First and foremost, thank you for inviting us all into your heart.
Secondly, you already know the answer, now you just need to let it unfold.
I will add only this obversation: leaving aside all the very deep and nuanced spiritual and psychological questions of what and how and why, there is a cold, hard fact I don't believe anyone has yet pointed out.
If you do not go to see him, you will always ask yourself afterwards what would have happened if you did. But if you do go to see him, no matter what happens (and whatever it may turn out to be, it will surely be very, very different from any of your imaginary run-throughs of the event), you are very unlikely to ask yourself what would have happened if you had not gone. Even if it turns out to be painful or an apparent waste of time, you will know that you made the effort, and will most likely have no regrets.
Unless there is something I'm missing, that is not a subjective observation, it is a simple fact. It is, at any rate, the best I have to offer.
Best of luck.
This is the sort of inconsiderate self indulgence that i warn of.
Do the lives of innocent others have no meaning to you in your quest to please your own doubtsÉ
If so then follow this advice.
I'm sorry you feel that way, and that you feel the need to throw insults around.
I offered the observation above because it was the least sentimental, most objective reply I could think of--it is not my philosophy or my opinion as far as I can tell (I could be wrong, as I implied above); it is not poetry or metaphysics or armchair editorializing, but, it seems to me, simply and unavoidably the case, no matter my opinion or yours or anyone's.
Lightworker specifically--and courageously--asked for advice (unless, that is, the phrase "What would you do?" has some sort of double meaning I'm unaware of). I was touched, and honored, and did my best to answer. Period.
No offense, but your feelings about it are your responsibility, Shin'Ar, not mine.
