Are you proud to be a human

[LightBeam]

I was thinking today of how humans perceive themselves in relation to ETs and other beings.
I observe many people who are labeling themselves as spiritual to wanting to be from someplace else than Earth. They want to be ETs among humans. They want to believe they are something higher than humans. The reason I believe is because they have a sense of multiple life times and some connections are stronger. But on the other hand I am seeing an issue where they place hierarchy where they perceive superiority based on evolution, technological advancement, vibrational residency, etc. A lot of people are not proud to call themselves humans because they perceive humans as not much evolved and they wish they were something more superior. They wish to feel special, powerful by being somebody else. But not seeing everyone and everything as equal (from a higher perspective) they will not achieve fulfilment. If someone doesn't feel special or powerful is because they are not embracing their own uniqueness. Everyone is special, but just because everyone is special that doesn't negate specialness.

Many people also feel themselves to be something on the bottom chain among civilizations and when ETs establish open contact, these people will feel inferior and possibly afraid. And while this may appear normal for 3D characters the way the games are designed. The game also has a great test for them all to realize their own power and their own equality to everything.

I personally think that any ETs who in reality are more technologically and spiritually advanced than humans will be honored to have me or any humans as friends, because we were so brave to dare to enter the Earth school, where they may have chosen an easier way. We are very much respected and they will never make us feel inferior. Unless we chose to diminish ourselves or to treat others within our society that way and look down on them.

I am very proud to be a human at this time and admire my bravery to have come here and learn the hard way, moving by leaps and bounds. And you should be too. So, when you face ETs or any beings from any parts of the multiverse, know your place as equal. That's what they want you to realize and know. The One is the All, and the All are the One.

As long as I don't watch the news, I am proud to be a human.

Good reflection, LB, I really enjoyed it. I think there's a general consensus that associates the word or concept of 'extraterrestrial' with something 'superior.' But 'superior' is an arbitrary and subjective word, as it depends on the observer and their belief in what it means to be superior. Superiority is a subjective term. For some people, 'superior' might mean survival of the fittest, for others, being technologically more advanced, for others, having impeccable values or behavioral qualities, and for others, being more spiritual or connected to their consciousness. I believe that if some extraterrestrial feels superior to us because they're more technologically advanced, it means they still haven't mastered their ego, false personality, and sense of identification with matter, because in the realm of pure Consciousness, we're none of those things, and it's all an illusion. Because, as you say, we're all part of the same Consciousness, The One. We're all part of this great cosmic organism, and we fulfill a certain 'function'.

I don't see an ant as inferior to me, nor a leaf, nor a cloud. Because if we see them on a larger scale, we realize they're an integral part of the natural balance of the planet and a larger ecological system that makes life on Earth possible and rich in biodiversity, forming an ecosystem that's alive and intelligent in some way. The same thing happens with us on a consciousness level.

I think that despite the terrible things humanity does, they're not inherent to the human species, but rather due to ignorance and social conditioning. Since humans can achieve great things, they just need to develop their consciousness and spirituality more. I think we have all the tools to create a better world, the beauty and creative force I see in art is something that surprises me beyond imagination. The physical body holds many secrets, and among them, all the spiritual and psychic qualities in potential that we were never taught to develop. I think that if human consciousness develops and expands more, we could have an Earth comparable to that of many advanced planets. It would be my greatest dream to see that, but in this lifetime, I don't think it's possible.

I've also read in Dolores Cannon's books that not all planets inhabited by extraterrestrials are more advanced, on the contrary, they seem more terrible than Earth and a hell, and some planets were even destroyed due to their negligence, since not all ETs are more spiritually advanced. So, compared to that, Earth isn't so bad!

If I'm proud to be human, I don't know, I think I don't identify as human or anything else, because our pivotal state is pure Consciousness, and we've surely explored thousands of different life forms on this and other planets. I'm still confused about why I chose the 'human program' to explore, out of the millions and infinite possibilities that surely existed to choose from. I always joke with a friend that I must have been drunk lol. I still haven't seen my 'Big Picture,' but it's something I hope to discover in this life.

Thanks for this reflection!

[Xanth]

I'm actually with Tak - I don't really identify much anymore as "human".  I'm consciousness first, everyone is really.  That's how I try to view everything.

But yeah, if I was identifying as a human right now?  I'd be quite ashamed of what we've become as a species... sadly.

The ego... the arrogance... the ignorance... the lack of empathy... the lack of compassion... yeah, I'd definitely be ashamed to be human right now.  It hasn't always been like this though and it will get better eventually.  I just hope I'm alive to see that day.

[Frostytraveler]

With the endless drive for power, money and resources (minerals, territory/land etc) and their ego driven need to "rule" or control people (their legacy) there is no room for empathy or compassion. What gets me is these troublemakers of the world are old and all they think about is the above at the expense of the masses.  Hard to be proud of humanity at the moment, especially those humans that are so called leaders. I would much rather focus on consciousness, the metaphysical and the Divine.

I am proud of the humans that have learned/evolved to respect others, and treat others with compassion. Hard to respect the NPCs that go around indiscriminately hurting others. If that's their lesson, then it is what it is, but I want no part of "their" experience/learning process.

If more people asked more questions about life, life's purpose, its meaning and the afterlife, maybe many wouldn't be going down the rabbit hole. Instead many look life as "you go around once, it's here for the taking, grab what you can". Then they claim they are religious to boot. 

[tides2dust]

I am honored to have been born Human of Earth. Our tale is epic, our journey unique and this is only the beginning.
I am having fun studying Urantian cosmology and I asked AI to elaborate on some things after reading this thread...

The Urantia Book presents Earth (Urantia) and its inhabitants as both unique and spiritually significant within the cosmic framework, though marked by challenges. Here are key points:

## **Unique Cosmic Status**
- **Planetary Challenges**: Urantia is described as "greatly retarded" in intellectual and spiritual progress compared to other inhabited worlds due to rebellions by spiritual supervisors (e.g., Lucifer and Caligastia) and the isolation caused by these events[5][1]. 
- **Divine Endowment**: Despite these setbacks, humans possess a **Thought Adjuster**—a fragment of God's spirit that guides individuals toward spiritual growth. This divine spark is a universal gift, but its activation depends on human free will[5][7]. 

## **Human Potential and Purpose** 
- **Soul Development**: The soul, formed through the union of human will and the Adjuster, survives physical death and evolves into a morontia (spiritual) entity. This process positions humans as co-creators with the divine in their eternal journey[4][7]. 
- **Personality Uniqueness**: Human personality is a "cosmic endowment" that remains constant amid change, making each individual irreplaceable in the universe[2]. 

## **Historical and Spiritual Significance** 
- **First Humans**: The first humans, Andon and Fonta, are portrayed as remarkable pioneers, establishing a lineage that carries forward the potential for spiritual evolution[8]. 
- **Revelatory Role**: Earth's history includes pivotal spiritual events, such as Jesus' life, which reconnected Urantia to the divine plan. The Urantia Book itself is framed as a fifth epochal revelation to expand cosmic consciousness[1][3]. 

## **Paradox of Imperfection and Destiny**
While Earth's history is marked by conflict and delay, humans are seen as part of a larger divine plan. The Adjuster's presence and the soul's capacity for growth suggest that Urantians are uniquely positioned to overcome their challenges and contribute to the universe's evolution[5][7]. 

In essence, The Urantia Book frames Earth as a rare and special world due to its complex history and the divine potential inherent in its inhabitants, despite their struggles.

And..

The Urantia Book portrays Earth (Urantia) as rare and spiritually significant primarily due to **Jesus' incarnation as Michael of Nebadon**, a divine Creator Son who chose this world for his final mortal bestowal mission. This event elevates Earth's cosmic status through several key themes:

## **Jesus as Michael of Nebadon**
- **Divine Incarnation**: Jesus is identified as Michael, a Creator Son of God who voluntarily incarnated as a mortal to fulfill his seventh and final bestowal mission[2][3][4]. This act of divine self-giving is unique to Urantia, as Michael's incarnation here addressed both local and cosmic spiritual challenges. 
- **Cosmic Significance**: By living a fully human life while retaining divine consciousness, Jesus demonstrated the potential for mortal beings to achieve spiritual unity with God. His life served as a model for all inhabited worlds, showcasing how divine love and service can transform human experience[3][7]. 

## **Earth's Role in Cosmic Redemption** 
- **Lucifer Rebellion**: Jesus' mission on Urantia helped resolve the aftermath of the Lucifer rebellion, a cosmic conflict that isolated Earth from divine communication for millennia[6]. His life and teachings reconnected Urantia to the divine plan, restoring spiritual light to the planet[3][6]. 
- **Revelatory Purpose**: The Urantia Book frames Jesus' life as a **fifth epochal revelation**, expanding cosmic consciousness and offering a universal spiritual blueprint. His teachings emphasized personal relationship with God over ritual, challenging rigid religious traditions[3][9][10]. 

## **Unique Aspects of Jesus' Mission** 
- **Non-Atonement Crucifixion**: Unlike Christian doctrine, the Urantia Book rejects the idea of Jesus' death as a sacrificial atonement. Instead, his crucifixion is portrayed as a tragic outcome of human fear and misunderstanding, not a divine requirement[10]. 
- **Human-Divine Unity**: Jesus' dual nature (fully human and divine) exemplified the highest potential for mortal beings. His life demonstrated that humans can co-create with the divine through faith and service, making Earth a living laboratory for spiritual evolution[3][5][7]. 

## **Earth's Rarity in the Universe**
- **Pivotal Spiritual Event**: The Urantia Book suggests that Jesus' incarnation on Earth was a singular event in the universe, making Urantia a focal point for divine intervention. This act of divine condescension elevated Earth's status among inhabited worlds[2][3][10]. 
- **Legacy of Love**: Jesus' teachings of love, forgiveness, and selfless service are framed as a universal revelation, applicable to all beings. His presence on Earth introduced a transformative spiritual paradigm, positioning Urantia as a rare world where divine love was incarnated in human form[3][7][9]. 

In essence, the Urantia Book asserts that Earth's rarity stems from its role as the stage for Michael's incarnation, a cosmic event that redefined humanity's relationship with the divine and offered a path for spiritual liberation across the universe.

-----

A thousand years of human evolution is nothing. We are babies in the grand scheme of things. It is easy to be saddened by the state of affairs, old and new. It is something else entirely to act with compassion towards Life no matter its stage.

It wasn't too long ago we publicly tortured, enslaved and killed for entertainment. In lesser known avenues that still exist today. Thinking on our dark and recent past, the concept of a lucifer rebellion and quarantine from other worlds makes sense. We truly have had a dark past. Much darker or more common place I'd say compared to modern times. That does not undermine the corruption that still exist. But with the incarnation of a Creator son- the quarantine is lifted. I believe that to be the case too. More and more are coming in contact with galactic, celestial and spiritual helpers. And we still have so much more to overcome.

To think that I chose to be a part of this is actually an honor. I know it isn't always easy, but it's the experiential wisdom "of a lifetime." I can't speak for everyone, but I do think I chose to be a Earth-Male-Human. I believe Nature to be one of the wisest teachers, and I believe there is a unique contract between physical earth bodies and physical host planet.

I feel Blessed. Just today I had a very profound blending of inner-and-outter. It came as a teaching from an entity that resides in a greater plane than solely 3D awareness. I was a part of that something, and that something had an interest in my well being. I think many of us here have felt, in some fashion, Gods Love. So I think we can agree when I say God has an interest in each and every one of us. To think, as well, of the intelligent beings that take an interest in us humans make me think there is something special. It may mean recognizing something "more than human" but I think that belittles our ultimate destiny. I recognize the greater aspect to encompass even the dark and undesirable. To make a diamond, intense pressure is required. Great works of art have texture, various shades, etc. What is a masterpiece without light and shadow? To think we can forge ahead in our partnership with the Divine and engage the world in a like manner is a noble endeavor. It isn't always easy, it takes constant reframing and practice. Lastly, I think "human potential" has mysteries we've yet to uncover but will as a continued part of our evolution. Or, again, the word choice is that things will become common place. I believe we've had real examples of human beings, and human beings we've never heard of- who have exemplified this divine partnership and have truly glorified the expression of "HUMAN BEING." I also think there are those who've understood the deeper laws of nature, and through their human faculties, have demonstrated actions that we would otherwise call miraculous or magical.

Yes, I am proud to be a human. I feel we are at the dawning of a Golden Age.

[Frostytraveler]

I'm sorry, but how can we humans be dawning a Golden Age when they are turning countries into rubble with nearly a million dead in the Ukraine War and well over 45,000 dead in Gaza consisting of mostly woman and children?  And for what? land, resources, minerals, the thrill of the conquer? Clearly a genocide attempt with the goal of a major land grab. Also Dictatorships are becoming popular by the masses who "like to be ruled" by a leader with an iron fist who now claims this type of leadership is "freedom". I hope humans turn things around, because if ETs landed and asked us to justify our actions it would be impossible.

I would love to pretend all this does not exist nor affects me, but unfortunately the scale of this insanity is so large that eventually it affects everyone.

[tides2dust]

Frosty, we all have our opinions. I never said war does not exist, and I never encouraged you to ignore atrocity. I have suggested that we are at the beginning stages of our evolution, and that- compared to our recent past(like the middle ages) the darkness that once covered our world has indeed lessened. Less common place. The truth is, you will find hardship wherever you go looking for it. And I have not said not to hurt. If you are hurting, that's OK. Yes. We are all connected, and this realization indeed marks the beginning of a Golden Age. 
I am happy for it.

I am proud to be human. You may say you are not proud. You don't need to apologize to me for disagreeing.

After posting this I thought of the practitioners of falun gong, who were arrested for practicing meditation. I remember the account of a woman who so inspired others for the compassion she imbibed, even in the face of oppression. She was liberated, despite being imprisoned. And she chose compassion for others, despite all she has endured.

Yes, I feel the dawning of a golden age- even if that realization is a few hundred years from now. I feel it in my being, it is good- and I will choose to behave accordingly. In so doing, I am not ignoring what is brought to my attention. So let us pray the same for others, and maybe we can help bring about the change you seek.

I have Faith. I pray the same sense of Faith may grace you.

[Frostytraveler]

Tides, I am proud to be a human (as well). If the world comprised of more people like you, me, and many many others here, there would be no war, conflict, nor chaos as it would be replaced with decency and compassion and peaceful living. As mentioned, I am proud of the souls that have such positive traits.

I do have faith that humans may improve, but I am concerned it will take quite some time for this to occur on a mass scale. Well beyond our lifetime.  Things are getting so tense around the world that I do hope another World War can be avoided. At times I feel we are going backwards. As also mentioned, it is best that I phase out of keeping up with world affairs, as it takes a toll on me as I despise injustice.

I do thank you for your kind words of hope and faith. 🙂

[tides2dust]

I'm sorry Frosty, I'm afraid they were not kind enough.
It is not an easy subject to discuss when we feel the weight of suffering. It is also, a child like or rebellious nature(speaking for myself) that does not want to be told what is happening. I believe the reason for all of this suffering is because we do not know God. We have been given taste, and that taste has pulled us into the heavens. But who wants to hear that, when they know their neighbor is suffering?
I'm not here to disagree with your opinion concerning the state of the world. I only wish to encourage that there is a greater reality, and it's closer than we think. So long as we look at everything happening as, "other than self" we may suffer endlessly.
I am fond of the old expression... When you point a finger at someone, there are three more pointing right back at you. I am sorry you're hurting. The news isn't evil, but the combination of news and internet is extremely polarizing. It keeps us in a state of finger pointing. It's a part of the human-epic. Duality is a part of the human sojourn. The warring ideals of today fight, and believe they are fighting for the betterment of humanity. It's a polarization effect, it is meant to keep us tethered to the system.
We are tethered to the system for experiential wisdom.
It's true that information has been weaponized.

More than anything we must continue to practice time in stillness and develop heart felt discernment. To establish a living relationship with our Beloved God. I again say it is not an easy practice. It is a practice. But when we turn the lens inward, we realize the outer world acknowledging us in ways that create ripple effects in our circles...

There are so many hidden blessings to be grateful for. While my immediate incarnation may cease to exist, I believe I will go on and I am extremely hopeful for our kind.

Please understand, my opinions are just that. And they are an expression of my recent experiences. They were never aimed at attacking, or belittling another persons heart.

I agree, these things do not happen overnight. And I am also of the belief that we are an extremely young species. I must attempt responsibility for my actions, and I pray for Gods guidance through it all.

God Bless...

PS.
Whether someone believes Christ walked the Earth or not- there are examples of true "human beings" out there... The combination of dual material nature and infinite Soul working in a most beautiful and compelling way. In regards to what is said of Christ a "divine being" - That his descension, meant to take the Earth-Human form is considered a rare treat. He showed us, among others, in an era of great ignorance what it truly means to be human. That is something to be proud of and something to aspire towards. That such an intelligence would desire this level of understanding is a part of what makes being human special.

[LightBeam]

Thank you for the discussion everyone! No doubt we came here to face challenges and that was my exact point of why we should be proud of ourselves of have chosen to endure such extremes. But we have to remember that we have chosen them. We actually designed the game and our individualized and collective experiences.

I just came back from another wonderful day at Disneyland. I was resting at the Avengers camp and they had the hero characters gather outside among the crowd. I haven't seen this  before. While I was watching them with delight, on the background there was the music playing and a voice on the speakers talking about their mission. At one point the narrator said "The heroes are strong because they are different. They are strong because they embrace their uniqueness". My jaw dropped. I said to myself, awe I want to cry, this is exactly what I wrote on my new topic on the pulse, for everyone to embrace their uniqueness. What a great synchronicity that was!

Here is something to think about. Can there be heroes without villains? Sometimes even nature plays the villain in our world. Does a blade get stronger when forged in fire? Also, Dolores Cannon said that no one dies one second before they have chosen to. Everyone choses when and how they die.
Everyone wants (on a higher level) to be where they currently are and they have the free will to chose their villains. The villains have agreed to play their part to create the opportunities for the lessons. There are no victims in the eye of the soul. That's why the soul from a higher point of view sees these realities like dreams and simulations for learning.
To see the "chaos" in our world as a precise orchestration is to lift ourselves much higher than our 3D personas. This is the only way we can understand. Not hope, but knowing that we are where we need to be, in order to go where we need to go.

[Frostytraveler]

LB how can billions of souls (prior to getting here in the PR) orchestrate to be under the distress of these leaders at the same time? I can see micro individual "lessons" and people interactive encounters occurring I.e. family, relatives, friends (awful employee/coworkers) etc... but on this massive scale, it's really hard to comprehend. The logic behind this fails when looking at the scale of it. Surely many here who did not choose to be under the control of such evil are no less affected by it in some manner. Everyone choosing this simultaneously would be just mind bending.

I have always believed, when a human does not believe in God, (be it called Source, God, etc...), the Divine Realm, nor the afterlife, or that they are (at least) more than their physical bodies, their Spiritual development/evolving comes to an abrupt halt. This is often replaced by the primal human 2D/3D ego urges, money, power, greed, drugs, promiscuity, apathy, hurting others... everything dark. They simply think all actions here have no repercussions or influence in their Spiritual development or eventual Spiritual "placement" in the afterlife. For the worst offenders, the lower Astral may eventually be their temporary or possibly permanent home. I believe it is possible that souls that fail to evolve and go around hurting other souls go to the lower Astral as a place of self created Hell of their own mind's making. I have read about this Spiritual theory on more than one occasion. Of course this is just one possibility, as none of us or those other sources have conclusive absolute answers (until we get to the afterlife).

I strongly agree with you LB, in the Yin Yang/ Good Evil principle. Encountering challenges here DOES cause us to ask the right questions, changes our focus and can trigger steady Spiritual development. These are the humans I am most proud of. Call it evolved, awakened, or enlightened if you will.  They see life, its deep meaning and appreciate the value of treating others with compassion and decency. Otherwise if everything were good all the time, Spiritual atrophy would occur and we would be very complacent with this low vibrational world.

[LightBeam]

(until we get to the afterlife).

Yes, some day we shall all see

Think "cosmic" time scale. 

We're all bits of the same consciousness.  We're eternal beings just learning to love and grow.  There's no race on how fast that needs to happen. 

Remember, it doesn't matter what "humans" do... it matters what YOU do, your Intent that you put out into the world.  THAT is the driving force for change, it's all on an individual level, helping to grow the quality of consciousness as a whole.  <3

[Xanth]

LB how can billions of souls (prior to getting here in the PR) orchestrate to be under the distress of these leaders at the same time?

You're thinking "human" level.  As I said above, it doesn't matter what humans do.  Only what YOU do. 

When I was at my wife's grandmothers funeral (if you know me, you know I'm NOT religious), there was a plaque on a wall which caught me by surprise as I wasn't expecting to see that there.  It said, and I'm paraphrasing, but "what's important in this life isn't what you can see, it's what you cannot".

Take a look around you right now.  You see your family, your home, your friends, maybe enemies.  Who knows.  But all of that has ZERO importance.  Those are the physical things of life.  They don't matter, they're all temporary and as "all things must pass", so will all of that. 

What remains though?  The Emotions, the Love, the Intent... *THAT* is the purest form of what you essentially are.  The choices you've made throughout this life, the love, the emotion, the intent, that's what truly goes with us.  These meatsacks we call physical bodies are part of this reality and that's where these end.

Make sense?

Life is way too short to focus on things we cant control. We can take actions only to the individual capacity to help the world. What we CAN control and focus is ourselves. And this is THE most selfless act one can do, so their frequency can increase and feed the world energy, thus helping the entire world on a mass energy level to keep it balanced.
Always look from the highest possible perspective, not from a 3D level. 3D is not meant to make sense from its level.

[Adrian]

I have been reading this topic with interest, so I would like to offer my own perspective.

The only way to make sense of all that is taking place in the world today is by rising above the material world and the ego mind to view from a from a purely Spiritual, Eternal perspective. Everyone and everything in the Universe is Source, God, and is therefore immutably and eternally Perfect. To consider someone, something or some situation as imperfect in some way is to consider Source, God to be imperfect which is impossible. From the perspective of Source, God All is perfect, it is only the dualistic thinking of the conscious mind, the ego that labels people, things or situations as imperfect in some way.

We also need to take into consideration the immutable principle of Cause and Effect. Every cause has a corresponding effect and is part of a chain of causes and effects that begin and end with Source, God. From a very limited temporal perspective humans have no perception of the origin of a cause or of its corresponding effect beyond the temporal event horizon. Only Source, God knows the entire chain of causes and effects which are always perfect. There is no "good" or "evil", these are dualities of the ego which always wants to label things, there is only the immutable, eternal Perfection of Source, God.

Also, to address the question of why anyone would choose to come to Earth at this time, the answer is they don't, because reincarnation does not work that way. All "incarnations" on Earth or other planets are sent concurrently by the Higher Self, the Eternal Spirit, who places incarnations in accordance with what Higher Self requires to gather all the experience it needs to continue the journey as an Eternal Spirit.

Humanity IS  entering a new universal cycle which has come to be known as the "Golden Age". To attempt to make sense of it from the extremely limited perspective of the human ego, bound by temporal time-space, which does not actually exist anyway, is utterly futile, as is becoming emotionally involved with and trying to make sense of current events. Only looking back in many hundreds or thousands of years will the people of the time more clearly see how the cycle unfolded, just as previous such cycles have.

It all comes down to FAITH and LOVE. Not the religious "faith in God" but Faith IN God, As God. Faith in the Eternal, Immutable Perfection of God that the Universe, including everything on Earth is functioning perfectly. Faith that everything happens for a perfect reason, and Faith that are indeed entering a new Golden Age. As Jesus said "Love thy neighbour as thyself" and that means all humans and all life without exception and Love yourself as God, Source infinitely Loves us all.

I have suggested more than once that one of the best courses of action is to never watch, listen to or read the so called "news", which is both irrelevant and potentially emotionally harmful. We are only responsible for projecting our own universe and not get emotionally involved with that of the rest of the world. Only by focusing on the perfection of ourselves and own universe can we positively contribute to the increasing vibration and perfection of the Whole. Instead of watching the news do something that actually does bring you Joy. Or go into nature, where the Perfection of Source, God is always very evident. 

As to the question of "are we proud to be human". We most definitely should be. We are privileged to be here on this planet at a pivotal juncture in the evolution of humanity, and one in which we are all participants and contributing to. Keep the Faith and above all enjoy it, knowing it is all Perfect. Love yourself, everyone and every "thing", it is all of Source, God. We are Eternal Spiritual Beings and Expressions of God, Source. Our time here on Earth is but a blip in Eternity, so enjoy it, use it wisely with Absolute Faith and Unconditional Love.

To consider someone, something or some situation as imperfect in some way is to consider Source, God to be imperfect which is impossible.

That's how I see it, Adrian! But I dont say it often because some people find it arrogant to think themselves as God or others that cause harm to be called God. However if we follow the notion that God is All That Is , or God is the creator of everything/is everything, there can't be any other conclusion. As we have said many times, one needs to lift up much higher to be able to understand the reasons and the purpose of existence they way it is.

I absolutely agree LightBeam. To say, with certainty that we ARE God, to the majority of people, especially religiously inclined people, is a step too far and usually causes some negative or even aggressive reaction. But as Jesus said "In that day you will know that I am in my Father, you in me and I in you". How much clearer could it be? Likewise with saying there is "no good or evil". The entire planet is a collective dream, drama, simulation, to which extent not even "real" in absolute terms, and certainly nothing to become emotionally involved with. And yes, absolutely, the only way to know this is to rise above the material and unite with the Spiritual.

All excellent responses, thank you. It's one thing to know better as in "not to watch the news" but it is quite another to adhere to it when things get very bad. I get it though, if I must watch the news or world affairs now and then (as Lumaza says) "passively observe" without too much emotional attachment. The logical side of me gets frustrated to see people on a mass scale choosing things clearly against their interest. But... as you all say, the extreme nature of these bad choices and the poor results they cause, may bring mass beneficial "perfect" change. For the ones that know better already it's like watching a train wreck in slow motion... which can be frustrating. The answer for me is to take a step back, and as LB says, focus on things that bring an individual happiness.

As far as all things perfect goes, I like to think about it, that a person going around harming others may not be perfect, but the circumstances and change it creates for both the parties may be perfect.

To keep it simple, it's ALL about learning. Learning CAN NOT occur without tests, so tests are necessary and they are perfect for the purposes. All students are at school at their own will and have chosen the grades and tests themselves. This is very important to remember when comes to "victims". I understand that our compassion tells us otherwise and our physical nature urges us to make all suffering stop. But if we have the power to do that we will be closing the school and the students will not be happy. This would not be a form and action of compassion but not honoring their wishes to learn their way. And that is the reason on a physical level no one has that power with a magical wave to turn Earth into heaven.

Right LB, excellent explanation. This is completely opposite of the PR ingrained left brain 3D premise "evil triumphs when good men do nothing". At first, your explanation may be looked at as a passive approach, but in actuality, it is active to the masses when large scale productive change occurs.

Yes, exactly! Now, to clarify, would I help a fallen person if I see them on the street. Absolutely! Do I try to help as many people as I can in various ways, donate money, donate time and be of service to humanity. Always! This is one of the roles my character had chosen in this game. But I can only help within my capacity. And even those I help, if they choose not to accept my help then I honor their free will and lessons and I dont attach their suffering to myself, nor do I blame myself that I didn't do enough for them. We have to discern in every situation.
I also send blasts of healing and comforting energy to the entire world and multiverse. But it is the choice of the receivers if they would accept it or reject it. This is none of my concern because I honor their free will and the oaths they have chosen. No judgment on their paths though either. Because we dont know what they have set up for themselves and in what way they want to learn. There are no wrong ways or failures. Just experience that is always beneficial no matter what it may look like from a lower point of view.
To have unconditional love towards everything and everything means to not put any conditions and let all have free will. That is God (as one)'s quality. God lets its expressions have free will to a point where they can even believe they don't have free will

In light of seeing benefits from every situation no matter how horrific it may be, I am thinking of WWII for example. Millions of people lost their lives, but one of the great benefits that emerged from it was that it provided opportunities for women to prove that they can handle their husbands business while they were away. They proved that they can handle hard labor work at factories and be smart enough to manage finances and businesses.
That was a big turn for women's rights that were suppressed for centuries. And the orchestration was to have extreme forced event to demonstrate something that the masses were not seeing or initiating to change on their own without force. So force was presented to get their attention. And on a higher level all these victims have chosen to play that role of "sacrificing" to help reveal and push along needed changes within society. Women's rights is just one of the many changes that occurred as a result.

It's all relative LB. We have come a long way, but some tendencies of old still remain. You and others will find this video very interesting as it is very much on point here.  It's about the Salem Witch Trials.
