"You create your reality"

[octavia]

Hi Anagogy,

I feel like in exploring this topic it might be useful to clearly define what we mean by the phrase Social Justice Warrior. This is a phrase that I have seen thrown around a lot in the past few years. It seems to be a phrase that is heavily mired in confusion. If you want, you can give your own personal definition for the term, and we can use that definition for the rest of the discussion.

So while it inevitably, and unavoidably, infuriates a lot of people, the hard truth of the matter is that the more you focus on these issues the GREATER they become.

I would disagree with this idea. As a categorical proposition, it seems flatly incompatible with material reality. To give an elementary example from US history, it is incoherent to imagine how Women's Suffrage would have been achieved without any political movement focused on bringing the issue to light.

These movements that attempt to increase peoples awareness of these things are very good intentioned. But remember the old adage: "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"?

I feel that this adage is misleading. Q'uo explains why better than I could:

Gary: This one comes from our friend L., who writes: “I’m thinking of the phrase ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions.’ This got me thinking. Many of the channelings say if our intentions are pure then there really isn’t much to worry about, so all of us New Age type folks doing all we can with the best intentions and still witnessing supposed failure about us, I’m wondering if you could speak to that phrase and its validity.”

Q'uo: I am Q’uo and am aware of your query, my brother. We find that this instrument itself has wondered about that query, for it is aware that the intention is that which is the foundation of each action. We would suggest that the statement itself, that “the road to hell is paved with good intentions,” is an inaccurate estimation of what actually occurs within your third-density illusion when entities offer themselves in service to another, and that service seems to go awry, and the one receiving the service is, by receiving the service, finding itself in a situation that is perhaps worse than the one in which it was in before the intention was offered to assist. The shortness of perception here is that which is the problem. The viewpoint must be somewhat wider in order to see that the entity receiving the attention of service from another may find itself in what seems to be a worse situation. There must be the recognition that each situation teaches that which is needed by the entity within the situation. Thus, the desire of most third-density entities to be within a comfortable situation is that which biases most entities when they see another entity in a situation in which they would not choose themselves to be. But if they would remain with that entity long enough to see the lessons learned within that situation, they would see the value of that situation. Thus, the road to hell is that which is a short road; the road to the heaven worlds is that which passes through the road to hell. [2016.3.26]
