I love this, Hunter! Ron and I were at Papa's funeral today/tonight. We met a lovely couple and chatted with them at length. At first, I felt like the husband really "got" the notion of spirituality, the soul, life on Earth. But then he said, "We all must suffer or we never grow." Noooooooo!

That is Machine-Mind programming executed through the New (c)Age concept of "Earth is a School" wherein we are abused and make poor decisions that lead to immense suffering that *supposedly* help lead us to become more loving. It's such utter garbage!

Your last quoted paragraph really spoke to me. I think this is what I have strived to do throughout my life, and certainly after remembering ten years later that I was sexually assaulted by my older brother's best friend, in my family's home, at the age of 15:

"Turn the other people, places and things over to the Divine and ask for Divine intervention into those things and your own pain because of those things. Release these people, places and things into the care of the Divine and ask the Divine to help them for the greater good of all concerned."

What a beautiful way to end this Law, thank you, my friend.💝

There is far too much trouble in the world to take on, especially now in the Information Age. Best to give it all up to God and truly live. Blessings to you and Ron.

#7 would be a tough one if those people actually mattered to me.

So I accept the blue haired two spirit lesbian trapped in a man's body because zhe is a total stranger who I'm unlikely to encounter again.

Acceptance is not absolution. An abuser is still an abuser. The mentally ill are still mentally ill.

I don't do judgements or psychological evaluations unless I'm in the mood to do so, or am paid to do so. May the blue haired two spirit lesbians trapped in the bodies of men go quietly into the night, without ever being acknowledged.

"Accepting that you have the power to make yourself more physically, psychologically and spiritually strong."

Old cultural message: "You can realize your dreams if you seize the opportunity."

New cultural message: "You're already special."

Variations of these are told to us until we believe them.

Then the school of hard knocks reveals that the world is not your oyster.

The school of hard knocks is an infinitely better teacher than progressive promises about how much the government is necessary to protect your specialness.
