Where would we be without those who spoke up for truth in the face of hypocrisy? The idea that this is less spiritual is toxic, I'm sorry peregrine, but that's the best thing I can say about that interpretation of the philosophy. Of course, putting an emphasis on doing OVER being is equally as dangerous to the state of one's energetic balance. But if one uses their being to inform their doing - with lots of meditation and processing of catalyst - they are COMPELLED to serve others, as that is what Ra says that a wide-open indigo ray produces.
So, I feel that at this time, with so much advertisement and fake news and brainwashing and all of the constant attempts to mislead people, that to attempt to speak through all the falsities is a necessary service.
When it comes to free expression to self and others, Jade, I think you're doing quite well. <smiling emoji-thingy>
I don't take issue with any of your stated points, and yet....something feels displaced, not quite on center....if you don't mind my saying so. (Maybe I should give you a tarot reading to help elucidate this, eh? JUST KIDDING! That's not my style.)
I'm just going to take a shot in the dark, if that's okay. I feel that the subject of your rant--stroking, not strangling the beast--comes from your heart, but that the delivery of the message has a rather strong grip, so to speak. Put another way, your passion seems derivative of your own sense of your being's response to planetary peril, but your delivery doesn't feel like it's riding on that same inner stream of love. It seems to have elements of self-protection in it which are most likely unintended. Just to give an example, when CA objected to your bringing the archetypes into this discussion (a curious objection), your reply felt to me self-defensive rather than open-hearted in such a way as to acknowledge his concern while encompassing that within a larger frame of thought. I wouldn't say your hand was on his throat, but I doubt he received much warmth from that incident in the over all interaction.
I'm not trying to over-scrutinize your behavior, but I want to compare that to the examples of King and Schweitzer. I fully expect that King lived in a much more trying social milieu and, consequently, probably had many more unconscious leanings towards self-protection. And it may well have been this reflexive self-protection which contributed to his having polarized much less positively than he would have liked in a positive manner.
I can say that is the case for me right now. It happens frequently that I look at myself not approaching a person or a situation with an open heart and I quickly see that I am trying to protect myself from..... Well, that's where it gets interesting...and time consuming! But I just want to be clear that I'm trying to wheedle a thin shaft of light down into this dark space to possibly benefit us both. Letting go of a sense of safety seems fundamentally foolish on the gut level and so it is a very sensitive thing to speak to. I hope I wasn't too strong-handed with you in this missive.
