Am I my brother’s keeper? 3
25th May 2009
Hello lovely people
Would she have changed her mind if there was another war that resulted in more cultural changes and getting more people killed? Probably not. What if she was supposed to incarnate so that she could have the experience of being oppressed as a woman because in a different life she was the oppressor? What if she chose to have that experience because she had to accept her feminine energy which she rebelled against? What if she had actually accepted her own feminine energy but she incarnated to learn to accept and exercise her male energy? And what if I incarnated so that I could help such women to gain some insight and stop the cycle of abuse, but I chose not to do anything about it because I do not support war?
And that brings me to the core question – for me at least. Is my role to step back and respect the lives and choices of others, even when I see them suffer as a result of these choices? Or is my role to step in and show empathy and help those that are weaker than I am? Should I contribute to a charity that collects money to provide food to a faceless, nameless victim of famine somewhere in Africa? Or should I make it my personal mission to give handouts of food to people that are hungry, even though I do not know them? Or should I not bother about strangers but rather reach out to the people I know personally that obviously need a hand up? Or should I not reach out to anyone and simply focus on my own spiritual awareness, because after all I incarnated to get closer to perfection?
The first commandment in the Bible teaches us that we are not allowed to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. To me that means I am not entitled to judge anyone else, because there is no such thing as right or wrong. And the question of right or wrong is never more prominent than when it involves life and death, such as decisions on war, abortions, the death penalty, euthanasia, suicide, murder and so on.
I think I will need to incarnate a few more times before I have the answers to any of these questions.
Please leave a comment if you feel inspired.
Love and Light
