How would Ra advise us to help situation in Middle East?

[jomo]

I have visualized the people in the Middle East being happy, prosperous, strong, and aligned with spirit in whatever way feels right to them.

that seems harmless to me.

I would bet that what is right for them will not seem so right to you. The reasons for incarnation in those areas are because the conditions are "right". What we consider strife or suffering is actually their requirement.

It was not too long ago that i came to understand this. On the one hand i do not approve of their customs. On the other hand i have to accept that it is a part of design, and that without it the design would be incomplete.

also true. but careful: we can ignore people's suffering by assuming this. But also very true that the "path to hell is paved with good intentions."

Ra's statement is very nice. it suggests: "be true to yourself and you will never fall" (beastie boys).

i also think a deep enlightened steady reading on the subject of mid-east politics is very helpful.

while i think the idea that each life is chosen for its catalytic purposes is an interesting one, it is mostly useful for understanding our own patterns.

I find the thought that any one of us could be born anywhere in the world much more helpful and conducive to empathy. it is also a good remedy against the forces that divide and conquer
