I have some thoughts to add to what you have said here. It takes extreme wisdom and the overview of a supreme being to know intellectually what specifics will serve all best. I believe someone pointed to materialism not serving this well. I'll go on record as saying that material things sometimes do, sometimes don't always serve your joy and spiritual progress, therefore rather than making judgments that get you unnecessarily embroiled in issues you don't know everything about, better to just keep the thoughts simple. In fact, the simpler the thought, the better: I wish to be happy-healthy-joyous-loving and supportive of my o fellow being's happiness-healthiness-joyousness-love. You only know what supports your own happiness--you have an idea about others' but may not, probably not, the specifics of their needs without their communicating them fully to you.

BTW, it occurs to me that, even should dark forces kill us all--we would be martyred and become victorious through that. Killing us all would be quite a self-defeating move for the controllers, wouldn't it?
