Are you going to take the vaccine?

[MonadicSpectrum]

Just wanted to add to this thread that it can be helpful to view love and wisdom as two independent dimensions. Love can be seen as the motivation, the purpose, and the goal. Wisdom can be seen as the knowledge, skills, and power to make decisions that lead to the goal defined by love.

Regarding covid and vaccines, I think all service-to-other polarized people have the same loving goal to keep everyone in a healthy state. However, different people have different ideas on what is the most wise path to achieve the goal. Each person is viewing a set of data, calculating the costs and benefits, and coming to a conclusion on the best way to achieve the goal due to three reasons: viewing different sets of data, assigning different valuations of trust in data, and calculating what the data means in different ways.

Ultimately, most of us lack the wisdom to properly discern the truth on the most optimal path to achieve our agreed upon goals. Each of us can only do what we believe is best based on our best ability to collect and analyze data and learn from the results. But to complicate matters, one group of people are discerning a path to our goal through vaccines and viewing anyone who is opposed to vaccines as working against the goal while another group of people are discerning a path to our goal that excludes vaccines as vaccines are seen as harmful and viewing anyone who likes the vaccines as working against the goal. One group wants everyone to vaccinate themselves for protection while the other group wants everyone to build a healthy immune system through diet, exercise, and meditation. Since we openly admit our own fallibility, the service-to-other group should not seek to control others or force others to follow our calculations, but rather accept that others calculate differently and will face different consequences, but we can all learn together. I think if we take a step back, we can see that there is another variable that is important to include in our calculations: the service-to-self faction.

Regarding covid and vaccines, the goal of service-to-self polarized people is not to keep everyone in healthy state... the goal for the love of self is to use the situation to gain power, control, and money. If the situation resolves too quickly, then the opportunity will be lost and also if people solve the situation without relying on those in power, those in power will lose the power of people relying on them to solve problems. The calculations for service-to-self beings in this situation is to provide the "solution" to the problem, but the "solution" is actually focused more on gaining control rather than solving the problem. How can the service-to-self faction prevent others from solving the problem in ways that aren't the "solution" that gives them more power? Censorship, propaganda, and distraction. They can't have people realizing that the service-to-self group is not actually solving the problem as the highest priority so they have to blame some other group for the reason the solution isn't working: the scapegoat of the non-vaccinated. They have to convince the service-to-other population that what is good is bad and what is bad is good because the service-to-others want to do what is good, but what is good actually causes the service-to-self group to lose power so false information is the only way to maintain power. Finally, they have to convince the service-to-other population that control is actually the most wise path to their goal rather than freedom and acceptance.

The only path forward for the service-to-other group is to realize that there is much false information being created by the service-to-self group, decide to seek humility, keep exploring all the data, keep calculating all the data, and always be open to correction if one reached some wrong conclusions in the past. There will be miscalculations, and there will be negative consequences from these miscalculations, but the only way to grow is to learn from the consequences and keep focus on the goal at hand.

The power of which you speak is a spiritual power. The powers of the mind, as such, do not encompass such works as these. You may, with some fruitfulness, consider the possibilities of moonlight. You are aware that we have described the Matrix of the Spirit as a night. The moonlight, then, offers either a true picture seen in shadow or chimera and falsity. The power of falsity is deep as is the power to discern truth from shadow. The shadow of hidden things is an infinite depth in which is stored the power of the One Infinite Creator.

The adept, then, is working with the power of hidden things illuminated by that which can be false or true. To embrace falsity, to know it, to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great. This is the nature of the power of your visitor and may shed some light upon the power of one who seeks in order to serve others as well, for the missteps in the night are oh! so easy.
