perspective on action vs inaction

[Dtris]

Yes and yes, Diana. Thank you so much for your post. Your statement, "My logical mind can apprehend the reasons for the experiment and even see the efficacy, but my feelings revolt" is exactly where I am or was or am trying not to be. And being somewhat silly but maybe not, I have said more than once that I aspire to be a dog - always loyal, always true, always trusting, always optimistic, and fully loving.

I am a bit late to the convo but perhaps I can add something useful.

Let's look at your statement about being a Dog. My dog embodies all those traits toward me and anyone else who she accepts as family. The rabbit, the raccoons, the groundhogs, the shrews, the birds, and the the squirrels? Not so much.

The dog is indifferent to the prey animals at best, and hostile at worst. This is because they have the instinct to hunt and kill for their food. But even herbivores kill other animals, horses will go out of their way to kill Coyote, elephants and Rhino will kill almost anything that bothers them, Bison and Cattle will gore an animal that intrudes in a second. Again they are indifferent at best and hostile at worse to those outside their family or group. What we are trying to learn is how to be like the dog toward the family, but to everything.

In regards to help from "above" as it were.

From where Ra is sitting, we are frankly not even like little kids. While they live for millions of years in a single incarnation we die in less than a hundred. We have lifespans the same a fly when comparing us to them. Yet they are communicating with us and attempting to teach spiritual and metaphysical truth.

What may be confusing you is the same as many people get hung up on, and that is two things. First, the age old question of why does God or whatever power allow bad things to happen if God is good and powerful? Second, Why do the bad guys get to do MORE than the good guys?

In this case with Ra and the other positive aligned friends, the simple answer is that action to them that is meaningful IS being undertaken. The second question is answered by examining the perspective.

From the perspective of 5D or 6D there is no major difference between being alive, or being dead. Both are just different alternating phases of Life. The everyday details of staying alive are given a low priority due to their perspective. Even if we die tomorrow, they can just keep teaching us in our next life, which to them is like waiting a couple days. This is also comparable to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as well as the order of Chakra. Survival is the "lowest" chakra and base of the Hierarchy and must be tended to before other things can be developed. But ultimately it is the other things which bring true personal development and growth.

More to the second point, is that we are biased toward visible, physical, and concrete actions which can be measured and quantified than we are to nebulous and invisible actions which cannot be quantified. Lets look at general well being. If for example you start an exercise routine you may have measurable results in strength or speed, but you may also feel better generally. This is not really quantifiable but you know it is true. Now you can also meditate each day, which seems like doing nothing, yet also increase your sense of well being. As a society we have trouble accepting the results from the second example, but can generally get behind the first.

So when you hear of groups doing abductions and mutilations and other physical events it seems to be more common and a greater effect. But we don't see all the people who are aided in prayer, in meditation, in dreams, and in contemplation by the positive side. After all, how many people have you told about your interest in the LOO and the ways it has made your life better? Even though their are groups like L/L Research around the world we hear about the terrifying encounters, and not the ones that make people feel good.

Lastly a brief thought on inaction. Loving and accepting everyone and everything includes loving and accepting the world as it is. Yet does not preclude wanting to change. If something cannot be changed, then loving acceptance can be seen as inaction. This could be because there is no action that would help at the moment, or it could also be because those that you want to help, do not want your help.
