I originally emailed this to Gloria after one of her newsletters, and she suggested I post it because others might be interested in the predicament.
------------------------
Wonderful newsletter, I feel lighter reading them, but I do have a problem
understanding some of the last one. For instance when you say things like...
>It is not for you to make indictments.
That to me says that we should ignore the destructive behavior of bankrobbers, violent criminals, and politicians (the criminals who direct other people to do their violence for them) who have run amok in DC and are using my tax money for colossally destructive purposes.
On the other hand, I can see that's a judgement of mine and I'd be
happier not making it. But then if I don't take some responsibility for
improving the world by adding energy to opposing these criminals,
these thugs will continue their path of destruction of the planet. Sending light to these criminals doesn't seem to accomplish anything. I've seen no improvement, have you? There's lots of newsletters saying how our vibrations are being raised and great things are coming, etc., but I see no evidence of this.
It's too convenient to me to just sit back, not wanting to "soil my hands"
with judgement and allow other people to do this, but I feel like I'm not pulling my weight to help heal the planet. As an engineer, I feel driven to do *something* to fix problems I see, but nothing seems to help.
If I don't speak out and do something about these atrocities, then I
feel that I am complicit in them. But then I get totally frustrated and feel like I really don't belong on the planet. When my soul was on the bus coming to incarnate in physical form, I think I was supposed to get off someplace else. My soul got off at the wrong stop - this planet.
It also reminds me of that famous quote about the rise of Nazi's:
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
