the ultimate act of compassion - Japan

[Monica]

Next time you meet a bully try and see if it works
In some cases it might help, I agree.
But in that situation I did not see another way out. And I am still glad I did it, also symbolically for all the women who have ever suffered abuse and bullying from their fathers, husbands, brothers and boyfriends. Just reversing the coin and turn from victim to agressor was totally liberating for me. Doing things the other way round.
But of course you are totally free to disagree with me.

Meerie, to clarify, I'm not judging your action in any way. You posted that in response to my question what would Jesus do? and you spoke of Jesus being harsh, and then provided an example of harshness being appropriate in your own life.

I don't claim to be able to transform bullies with warm fuzzies. My point is that I consider that an ideal to aspire to, exemplified by masters such as Jesus.

Apparently, we have different perceptions of beings such as Jesus and how they might respond to such situations. When I posted my question, I thought it might provide some common ground, because I assumed that we all pretty much agreed on masters such as Jesus. I was mistaken.

I think of Jesus as an exemplar of 4D love, and responding to discord by radiating, thus transforming the situation into peace. Lacking wisdom, according to Ra, but certainly an ideal of 4D love. That is my view of Jesus (not the religious version) and I was wrong to assume that everyone shared my view.

How shall we meet other selves who abuse, bully or hurt other selves? Yes, everyone is the Creator. We agree on that. Yes, if we see a rape we definitely try to do everything in our power to stop it.

Of course! Stopping the bully doesn't mean you have to stoop to his level and repay in kind.

Loving the bully doesn't mean you let him continue his abuse.

Stop the bully while simultaneously loving him.

Is this paradoxical? Sure.

Ra stated in session #1 that they came to teach us about the resolution of paradox.
