Message"Dude, these fanatic hateful supremacists are bringing the whole world into the worst conflict the world has yet to see and you and your kin are still feeding yourself the bullshit of "smile at the enemy". If you were a renunciate monk I would respect you, but as people living in the world it is everybody's duty to fight evil."
Brother, what you fail to see here is that there is no such thing as "they." I mean this in the most concrete way. We are all one thing living out and working out the unresolved energies within the lifeforce and the dao. There is no "they." You insult my viewpoint, calling it bullshit, because you have let your fear turn into anger because you view yourself as a victim. How does it feel when you talk hate to us? My father's stuffed feelings of victimhood often expressed as a controlling rage turned into pancreatic cancer.
It is no one's "duty" to fight evil. Fighting has never resolved the issues and it never will. "Fighting against" promotes the dualistic attitude in which war thrives. Do you think that Jesus or Lao Tzu fought against evil? Has any enlightened being that you can think of promoted war as a means to end war? Think.
"You people are deeply sick and rotten to the core. You live in a pipe dream. Your meditations are self-delusional."
I am sorry you feel so bad. I understand it. This is what you think about yourself.
"You don't get angry not because you have mastered your anger but because you can't feel jackshit. It's like claiming to have mastered one's sexual impulse when all one have is sexual impotence. There is a legitimate time for anger and action and this is it. If there was no legitimate use for anger, we simply would not have that capability. So dont bullshit me with saying that I am angry. Of course I am and rightly so. My country is accomplice in slaughtering the innocent and my government is occupied by israeli zionist nationals and unless you want to be held accountable by the TAO you'd better be angry too."
I know what the government has been doing. I have lived with anger a lot. I have fought against what I didn't like. I have found that that makes the problems worse. If fighting could have changed anything it would have by now. Fighting and standing up for truth are two different things. Why don't you act the way you say you want the world to be? The answer is because your hate (through your fear) has taken you over and you do not really want peace. You want to kill the enemy that is frightening you.
It is most important to remember that what you send out to others has to go through you first. What kind of energy are you cultivating when you send your frustrated rage at Michael, us or "the Jews?" You cannot accomplish the result you are saying you want by creating more hate. There is no other choice but to speak and act from a point of balance within. Most of the world is lost in unconscious behavior. If you send more unconscious anger out there you are feeding the problem. However, if you wanted to take the time to express that you feel awful and powerless about what is going on, that would be a healthy way to approach the dilemma.
The purpose of meditation is to align with the universal mind and the harmony it emanates. This does not mean do nothing on external levels. If you think you should be doing something to help, then go do that. Screaming at us to enflame us will not stop the killing. Besides, you are making a lot of assumptions about what any of us is doing besides meditating to help things in the world.
We all have fears to get through. This is why this shitty stuff exists in the world. All of it is a reflection of our fear which comes from our inability to recognize each other as divine manifestations. When you look at the mideast and get crazy with anger you have become lost in the group mind in fear. Your fear has taken over. At this point you believe in your fear, that is what you see in front of you and then think you have to do something about it. It takes more strength not to act based on what your fear is telling you than it does to follow the fear.
I have been laying this out in order to promote another way of approaching the situation. It is not meant to lecture you but to establish balance. Do with it as you will.
Blessings, Alexander
