About Evangelism

[Plenum]

I certainly have experience from both sides of the evangelism coin. Having experienced my own rapid spiritual awakening and expansion, and wanting others to share my perspectives and awareness, I have shared with others who might not want to hear what I have to say, in a way, "evangelizing". On the other hand, I have always been uncomfortable with religious evangelizing (and other), which is interesting given that I am surrounded in my life by people who consider themselves evangelical.

I think the essence of evangelism is the sense that there is only one valid viewpoint. This is very much driven by an ego-centric viewpoint (a 'yellow ray' attitude), and hence the tie-in to the yellow ray energies that Ra mentioned.

Green ray energies/healing involve a reconfiguration of the self in the space of someone who is unconditionally accepting (both of the diseased state as well as the healed state), and so offers the possibility of the other self to transition to a different state, if that is what they themselves are wishing.

An evangelist is only willing to accept one outcome ('theirs'), and so can't tap into this space.

The issue of society, growth, and evolution can only occur through some form of consensus, usually through the means of education and demonstrating a different way through one's own example. You can pass all the positive laws you want, but unless people 'want' to buy into it, and believe in it, they'll just undermine it with their actual lived practice. I think an example of this came with one of the Pharoahs who was in contact with Ra, and tried to mould society from the top-down. As soon as he passed away. the priests reverted to their own selfish behaviour, and nothing had changed on a deep level.

Instead of thinking of one person needing to change the fate of millions, I find it much easier to think of one person changing the space of all the people he/she comes into contact with on a daily basis. Friends, family, workmates. Your personal sphere of influence, and setting an example through your own choices and words. It doesn't *have* to lead to an outcome, as someone else mentioned, but, rather, it's providing the catalyst/challenge of doing it a 'different way'.

One example from my own life that I've referenced maybe once or twice is the case of me going part time at my workplace. Of course, my company had to be at least partially open to the idea in the first place, but when I first started, there were no part-time people doing my particular shift/work. After two years of full time, and feeling a little run down and stressed, I asked to go to 4 days. This was granted, and it sort of served like a beach-head (in my mind) for other folks. Because in the years following, more and more opportunities opened up for others to work reduced hours as well.

The way you choose to live your life becomes an 'example' through which others can possibly draw upon, when they come to their own decisions. If that person can do it - why can't I?

There is nothing more powerful than a living example of something you would like to become.
