Human beings are plenty loving

[speedforce131]

Here, in this inaugural contact, the Confederation gave us a simple formula:  Light + Love = Understanding

That is incorrect. Light and love are the BASIS of an understanding of the CREATOR. You took out a lot of words there to make up that formula.

In other words, they are saying Love = Understanding which is actually quite different from the original formula given by the Confederation.

Again it is incorrect. Love does not equal understanding. It is love AND understanding.

Perhaps it might seem a small point to some, however I find it to be quite central in that it is obviously quite possible to love another self, without really understanding them at all.

The Confederation has said before that love is not the human love that they are talking about.

It takes dedication and commitment... i.e. sincere seeking... to bring the higher light into our consciousness.  It also requires reasoned thinking and an ability to discern between falsity and truth.

Yes this is correct. I feel that you just randomly stumbled onto the answer lol

Yet, it almost seems these days that there is some kind of hidden war on reason.  And many channeled entities again appear all too eager to get on the bandwagon.

You couldn't be any more incorrect. One of the requirements is your ability to reason. Reasoning is needed for understanding. Only in doing so can you impress the wisdom of what you gained with compassion.

Spiritual communities are full of people who have some sort of problem with people who reason.  Reasoning and logic is deemed a threat.  Only feelings and emotions are to be trusted.  Nevermind that these often change at the drop of a pin.  They are "safe".  Because feelings can never be questioned.  And therefore somebody who is using their emotional/feeling nature as the sole driver of their vehicle doesn't ever have to explain themselves.  Whatever it is they did, must be right.  Because it felt right.  End of story.

I agree with you. But the reason why I agree is because so many people (including you) have no understanding of the material and instead what they're doing is picking and choosing what they want to hear, not see what's actually there.
