Ignorance, yes. I see that all the time. Arrogance... I suppose I have run into it in the past but I really can't think of the last time I perceived somebody that way. **shrug** Sometimes I think that arrogance is one of those terms that gets tossed around a little too flippantly by people who don't really know what it means. As you said, arrogance means thinking one is superior to another.
I think many people use the word "arrogant" when they really mean egotistical, or narcissistic, or overconfident, or self-righteous, or things of that nature. I have also noticed that people with low self-esteem tend to perceive those with healthy self-esteem to be "arrogant" as well. Such is life.
At any rate those who are quick to judge others as being judgmental really throw me for a loop! Seriously... people sitting up on their high horse looking down at others for being "too arrogant" or "uncompassionate"... I just gotta laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Well, as you said, they have incarnated here to serve. Wouldn't that make them at least 51%? Or are you asking about something different?
There is also a subtle point on this topic. I know this might sound really nitpicky, but the actual word that is used by Q'uo, and others, with respect to this is "reparation", and not "repair". Reparation means "to make amends with" and so in that respect, I think it is really about healing one's relationship to Gaia, and not healing Gaia herself.
According to my understanding, Gaia is doing just fine. She is not in need of "repair" and even if she were, it would be beyond the scope of anything humanity is capable of accomplishing unaided.
What are your thoughts?
