Dear Carla, Jim, and Monica,
Thank you for your continued efforts to be of service to those seeking understanding of the Law of One.
There seems to me a fine line between being of service to others and interfering with free will. It is my understanding that Ra came through as an answer to a call, thereby not interfering, and being of service. My question involves human service to others.
What if we are considering small children? Small children cannot defend themselves, or speak of their suffering for the most part. Often, they cannot be heard directly, although there are times when it is possible to find out directly of child abuse. However, as an individual with compassion, one might feel the pain of suffering children, and know of it indirectly. A compassionate person may "hear the call" of suffering children. So, what does one do about it within the directive of not interfering with free will?
There is the free will of the abusive parents to consider. There is the free will of child pornographers to consider. There is the free will of the government officials who keep their poor hungry to consider. There is even the free will of the suffering children to consider who may have chosen to suffer, although I have no idea how one would find that out.
A compassionate person may heed the call from suffering children in his or her heart, and yet, what to do? If interfering with free will is a prime directive of 3D, how does one respond compassionately to the suffering of children--let it be, trusting it will all just work out? Historically, this is not the way things change, and do we not also have an imperative to evolve?
This is a matter that continually challenges me. I would like to hear your thoughts.
