There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
Wanted to post this because in my(our) mind this explains what we are talking about perfectly and concisely.
I was thinking about this thread and violence in the world and thought of the gladiator fights of the Roman Empire. How brutal and violent that was, and in that day it was entertainment. I'd like to believe that we've come a long way since then, but as I am writing the question is have we?
In some places in the world there are still brutal public executions. But now there are people and organizations that speak up and reject this kind of violence, and I believe as long as there is public international outcry about these practices they will eventually be eradicated. But it is our responsibility...because we are everything don't you think? And if no one is taking responsibility to denounce this stuff, how will it end?
I do think that is quite a few steps away from violent videos games and movies as entertainment, but as long as we pay money and fund it, we are supporting the creation and re-creation of the consciousness of violence. And I know it might sound a little self-righteous or judgemental, but when I think in my own conscience that I am everything, I ask myself is that who I want to be? Do I want that to continue in my world? Easy answer for me, no I do not want it to continue.
I think there are many shades and possible ways to experience what we are involved with, we may be in a role-playing game as a hero protecting and rescuing innocent victims, or we may be gleefully blowing our enemies heads off, so I would think, along the lines of what Aaron said, that we can experience the events with various levels of consciousness and emotions ranging from profound compassion to raging hatred.
At this point we have experienced so much darkness in our world , so I am ready to move on to a brighter and lighter future.
