Are you going to take the vaccine?

[zedro]

If we come full circle now and apply what you are saying to vaccination. Why would it matter in the least what the vaccine is intended to do by its creators? If people are taking it with the intent that it will be a good thing for them. Taking it within the context that it is a positive manifestation for themselves. It will do just that. We could achieve the same goal with sugar pills as well I suppose.

So I'm left wondering why this thread is so full of posts saying it will hurt us. Won't that just end up actually helping it do just that?

I never claimed your ego could make/wish it anything it wanted, I'm saying that there may be an important choice to be made by the individual. It definitely CAN hurt someone, not WILL, again, huge difference. Not all bullets hit their targets, not all bullets kill. Some will miss, others will maim. Some will offer enlightenment,  some may draw compassion. These are hidden lessons for some, or obvious pitfalls for others. I know what it is for me. And it may be completely different for you. There are no absolutes, and you may not have the control of intention you think you do. Or maybe you will. But claiming it to be something absolute and will be OK for everyone is a disservice and may possibly have karmic ramifications. You need to understand the totality of possibilities, this is called wisdom.

You can't seem to find the middle ground Patrick, you are always oscillating between the extremes, always missing the central point.
