What are our rights?
Okay y'all, it's time for another discussion by yours truly. ;)
This time it's going to be about what our collective rights are. I know this has been covered a number of times before, especially in channellings...but I kept wondering about this and thought to myself that it's time to put it up for discussion here. :) Since it's easier to speak from my own experiences, I'll start with that.
Whenever I'm in a certain place...doesn't matter where, the city-builder/architect in me scans the periphery for any signs of less-than-beauty & harmony. Next it processes it all and then redesigns that which is less-than, to eventually become more-than-what-it-was. All fine and dandy...until I want to change that which is less-than. But then I ask myself...who am I to change this, right? Would it be correct for me to change this certain thing? At which point does it become "okay" to change something or to let something "just be"? What is our collective right therein? Again, the healers are the ones who have it a bit easier...whenever they encounter "that kind" of person, y'know, the one who deep down inside does not want to be healed. Whenever they encounter that person and try to heal them without success, there is no need to stick around anymore. And as a Healer it's quite hard to impose your healingness (lol) on others. They either come to you or they don't. End of story.
Which is obviously much easier than city-building for example, since you're influencing the lives of many in a very different way. But what if what you imagine to be on a very high harmonic level isn't at it's core, correct for the people that will inhabit it...what if what was there before (we're talking about rebuilding) was exactly what those individuals needed?
What right would I have then, to impose my image of a good city on them?
I was talking to my mother about this and she simply scoffed and quipped that I should simply do what I feel I need to do without worrying about what the people think. :p But I can't stop thinking about the people...
So I'm kind of wondering...what about the other end of the spectrum? That of "laissez faire", or simply letting things be as they are without wanting to change them or whatever. Is that also "okay"? Is that acceptable?
I'm going into activist-mode right now, so beware (lol; be wary)
When looking at the ugly, dirty (and hideously modernistic) cities...when looking at the polluted earth/skies/oceans....when seeing millions suffer and blablabla...should we just...let them be?
Okay, activist-mode off. ;)
No but seriously, what is our "duty" in all of this? In social instances it's a bit easier, you meet someone you do not like, you simply turn away and continue to not worry. But depending on certain situations, it becomes progressively more difficult to "turn away"...for example when you work with someone you don't like or when you live with someone you don't like. More difficult then to walk away. Then we bring it to a macro-level...living in a city or country you don't like...how to deal with such things? Laissez-faire? Or do we actively strive to change things?
A friend told me that it's all a matter of perspective...we simply have to be in a place of acceptance and empathy for the choices of others and based off of that we make our own choices.
I agree with this, but on a macro-level it's a bit more obscure. Rebuilding a city(block)...what are the choices of others? Was the city(block)that came before, better for them? After all, was it not a reflection of their inner reality?
I find these all very valid questions, but at the same time I can't help thinking;
Wait for when you are truly needed, then automatically people will come to ask you for your help.
Do you think so? I'm not really so sure...I mean, again, from a personal perspective, Curacao has a very beautiful historical core...but that beauty is in my mind only. Nowadays it's simply less-than. Now...looking at what we discussed above, what would you do about it. Imagine for a second you have a "carte blanche" to do what you will with the historical downtown area...all the money and all the resources are available. Would it be a wise choice to rebuild the city? Would it be good for the people involved? Sure, on the surface it usually is, but deep-down...perhaps not...(referring to the "that-kind-of-person who comes for a healing but does not really wish to be healed") But...maybe I (we) should not worry at all so much...
Pff, a lot of maybes and perhapses...
What is your take on all of this?
Remember, this is poised as a general thingy, so don't post comments that direct things to me only. After all, I am not the only one who wonders about this. :)
Peace!
