Re: Challenges of Living in Polarity

From the P's (Path of Empowerment), a new take on the PTB:

Throughout time, violence and bloodshed have attracted many beings who require the dark energies of pain and confusion to hold liege over those humans controlling the planet. In the game, the dark forces play their parts well and are too powerful to be destroyed; they must be met and transformed through compassionate understanding of their purpose. From a larger vista of understanding, it takes a highly evolved being to take on the role of evil so as not to become indefinitely entrapped in the character. The controllers are actually important players in the game of freedom; they rule by psychological and spiritual manipulation because humanity refuses to confront its collective fear of remembering the past. Even with their power over humanity, the controllers are lonely and lacking in truth and trust. And the risk of entrapment remains ever present.

As I typed that out, it occurred to me that their obsession with accumulating financial wealth is probably a compensatory measure for that inner emptiness...

I've long felt that. Likewise with other addictions or obsessions. Someone called "LightTouch" from the old Goro forum, once summarized it this way: "there are essentially two kinds of people, those who are inquisitive and those who are acquisitive". It resonates with me.

Yes, good point.

Good one!  I guess I'm in the first group. Although I've also heard that the world is made up of two kinds of people:  those who divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who don't wink
