My take on masks.

[Patrick]

...I will guess that you are not homeless, you're obviously male, I think you are white from a photo you posted...

Yes and that has always been the case in this incarnation.

...and I will also guess you are okay financially (not worried about food and shelter)...

That too.  I did not know starvation in this lifetime, only poverty to a level where my parents could not afford stuff like cars or even a bed or a room for me in the family apartment. I just slept on the sofa in the living room.  But I never knew homelessness or starvation and I did not even know we were poor at the time.  I did not feel poor anyway.  I had so much love from my parents.  When I was a bit older, they slept in the living room and I had the bedroom all to myself.

...From that position it is easy to say what you have said...

It has not always been easy for me to talk about love openly.  But in this case yes that was very easy and I stand firm behind what I said.  Or at least behind the sentiment that was intended.  It came directly from the heart.

If my other selves are so much under the heals of the Elites that they can no longer see love in any moments, then ins't a heartfelt inspiration the proper thing to offer?

The abundance I have at this time enables me the great luxury to ponder these things and help channel our Logos' love and inspiration.  There has to be someone that does it.  Since I feel that I can, then I do.

...There are SO many people on this planet who are oppressed (this is to say nothing of other life forms and the planet itself). So to say that the elite's control is "shenanigans" is rather dismissive...

YES !  It is that simple.  We should just dismiss their shenanigans for what it is !  Can't you see how simple it is to let Love win ?  

...Say that to a starving person, and that you will love their pain away but it may take hundreds of years...

If a starving person were to come within my sphere of experience, I hope I could tell them of my Love without using any words.  Feeding someone who is starving is how I wish I would say: "I love you".  Might just be a romantic notion on my part.

I'm sorry to sound harsh, but I don't think it's a great idea to minimize the suffering on this planet.

And let's not forget that consent is a complicated affair. There are the oppressed who have little in the way of choice due to economic oppression; there are the many in the sinkhole of indifference; there are many who are brainwashed by the media. This is the reality we are in
...

It's perfectly ok to express yourself in anyway you wish.  Minimizing the sufferings was not my intent.  Minimizing the perception of power the Elites has on us was my intent.  They have NO power over us except the power we let them have to challenge us with the only purpose of giving us opportunities to overcome those challenges.

Whatever our situation is on this planet, we always have the opportunity to answer with Love what comes to us.

...
Perhaps you are right, and love/light will be the answer—eventually. I hope so. 

I believe that until we answer them with Love and Light, they will continue to challenge us.  Because this is why they are here after all.  It's their purpose.
