Politics and Spirituality and this Planet's Future

[Monica]

This is a very good question. I don't remember the exact quotes, but I remember Ra saying something about many political leaders being predominately STS (since political positions lend themselves to the pursuit of power), with many being of mixed polarity, and a few exceptions in which the political leader was a Wanderer who took the position in order to accomplish certain important goals (Lincoln and that president whom they contacted...forgot which one...).

My interpretation of those words, coupled with Q'uo's references to the STS influence of the political leaders, is that most political leaders are generally mixed or STS, but some of them might stand out as true visionaries.

I campaigned hard last year for one such visionary. I felt very strongly that my efforts were important at the time.

I definitely don't think one has to avoid politics in order to be spiritual. I guess it all depends on what your life agenda is. I personally find doing my part to raise people's awareness on issues to be very fulfilling and important.

We can't do everything, so we do what we can. Q'uo said that if we feel compelled to get involved in a particular cause, then we probably should.

I consider involvement in causes a big part of why I'm here.
