Random thoughts on immigration, STO purity, and positive/negative separation

[Diana]

This is worrisome to me, because it implies that simply being loving is not enough to deter negativity, which is precisely the very mindset of the many people here in 3d who scoff at the notion that unconditional love will save the world. Perhaps it's different because 3d is more of an illusion, and the stakes are higher in the battle described by Ra. I'm unsure as to what to think about this, but I think it'd be interesting to open that debate.

I think the problem derives from a severe lack of understanding of "unconditional love." Being "loving" does not necessarily have anything to do with unconditional love.

Unconditional love must include everything or it's conditional. "Wisdom" must balance that or there is no action, nothing of movement. 

I don't think it's a matter of opening all doors (which can easily be martyrdom, which is separation because others are put above self), but a matter of detachment from fears, prejudices, and self-interestedness. We need practical solutions to border issues and building a wall is not one of them. In building a wall, for example, were animal migratory routes considered (just as building damns deprives flora and fauna of water)? The underlying problem is one of lack of respect for all life.

In detaching from human-centric concerns, further defined by tribal (race, country, family) concerns, collapsing to self-interest, and embracing a wider more inclusive respect for all life, we will move toward more "humane" behavior to immigrants.

It may be approached as one issue, but as long as we continue to compartmentalize, connectedness will continue to allude us.
