The impulse to protect and polarization (Guns)

[Diana]

[font=sans-serif]"25.6 Questioner: Could you amplify the meaning of what you said by “failure to accept that which is given?”

Ra: I am Ra. At the level of time/space at which this takes place in the form of what you may call thought-war, the most accepting and loving energy would be to so love those who wished to manipulate that those entities were surrounded, engulfed, and transformed by positive energies.

This, however, being a battle of equals, the Confederation is aware that it cannot, on equal footing, allow itself to be manipulated in order to remain purely positive, for then though pure it would not be of any consequence, having been placed by the so-called powers of darkness under the heel, as you may say.

It is thus that those who deal with this thought-war must be defensive rather than accepting in order to preserve their usefulness in service to others. Thusly, they cannot accept fully what the Orion Confederation wishes to give, that being enslavement. Thusly, some polarity is lost due to this friction and both sides, if you will, must then regroup.

It has not been fruitful for either side. The only consequence which has been helpful is a balancing of the energies available to this planet so that these energies have less necessity to be balanced in this space/time, thus lessening the chances of planetary annihilation."

I love the above quote. 

To defend oneself, guns are not necessary. Analogy: driving in traffic. There are many aggressive drivers on the road. On a freeway during rush hour, people are changing lanes, cutting in front of you, etc. Protecting oneself in this situation is better done by getting out of way, letting people cut in front of you, which also protects those being aggressive. To engage in the game of aggression, by trying to hold your position in traffic, only adds to the possibility of a collision and the energy of anger.

I say use intellect instead of guns to avoid confrontation and live peacefully. If in the U.S. if it continues to move more toward a police state, start making plans to move elsewhere rather than holding your ground. You can also learn self-defense. When you become proficient in self-defense, it gives you a confidence which erases fears of being overcome. Also, don't watch TV and all the fear-mongering.

I like Isis's idea of a tranquilizer gun if one must have something like that. I've often wondered why a very fast-acting tranquilizing gun (or something even more affective but not harming) hasn't been developed for law enforcement instead of policemen carrying lethal weapons.
