Re: why?
On other threads we've discussed the concept of 3D genetic programming making us STS by default, at least as long as we inhabit these bodies. The basic concept was that we can strive for knowledge and balance and become candidates for STO status despite being STS in the meantime.
Yes, I think this might be the best we can do for now and can serve as a 'standard operating procedure' for everyday life.
So I'm not sure whether all that we do for noble reasons is really a circuitous way of satisfying the ego that in the long run happens to undermine the greater STS control system, or whether we have within us both STS and STO elements, the ego and the Higher Self whose influences we constantly choose between.
If the latter is the case, then I think we can act in a way that does not satisfy the ego, but rather satisfies the Higher Self. I'm inclined toward this possibility because when confronted with a choice, I feel within me two halves diametrically opposed to each other. It would be pretty damn twisted if one half was the ego playing good cop, and the other half the ego playing bad cop. Can acting out of ego ever have balancing consequences? Or is it like the Ring of Power, trying to do good with it always bites you in the ass?
I have the same dilemma, but am considering that perhaps you must first embrace the total futility of it all before you can truly have the power to do anything about it...and at that point will it even matter anymore? I know this is a total dichotomy but I keep coming back here.
Theory and practice though, that was a good sandwich I had earlier, now I think I'll go out and get drunk.
As for dissatisfaction with the planet, consistently replaying the emotional trauma of other people experiencing their lessons can't be healthy. Getting pissed off at what I read at rense.com leaves me stewing with no release for that energy short of indulging in revenge fantasies or moving to Iraq.
As I've said before, the more you worry about things you can't change, the less energy and composure you have for the things you can change. The practical path is dealing with things as they arise, when they are laid before you and it's your turn to act. If it's time to speak your heart, then do it. If it's time to make a sandwich, make a sandwich. And so on.
Again, I agree as a general approach to living a life, after all it is best that we don't go insane. But what if you actually had the ability to change things and in a way we all do, by assuming it can happen and willing it to do so on whatever scale our imaginations can fathom and back it up with action. You must be able to think that you can before it is possible.
What if you possesed that free energy machine or piece of information or proof that could instantly change a lot of minds...should you hold onto it until the time is right when everybody is 'ready' for it and so you won't end up in a car accident? In a way, isn't that what the illuminati is already doing? Are we them? Somebody deciding what's best for everybody else, including of course themselves.
Pardon my rant here, I guess I'm just blowing off steam, currently there's no one around to listen to me except myself, but I'm putting up quite an argument with me.
