Brook ,
I have only seen the picture that was posted on this thread . I don't consider it all love and Light . I understand how it can be disturbing . I am not learned in esoterics and symbols so what you see I don't see . I am an artist myself so for me it is a drawing . I see death and I see Life in it . That is my own subjective interpretation . Death in itself isn't specially something nice to look at .It is scary .But it is as it is. I have no further judgement . Love Always mudra |

Consider, darkness wins when you fight it. The act of fighting is all it takes for darkness to win.
Whenever you fight something, you will create an equal and opposite reaction, and the cycle will continue indefinitely until one side finally decides it's time to turn the other cheek, and to continue doing so. Gandhi is the best modern example of this in action. Could India have gained independence by fighting? I do not believe so. Turning the other cheek is not a passive measure. For it results in the 'other side' having to examine their actions. You are no longer fighting back. No longer creating a reaction. Now they have to look at themselves in the mirror and can no longer create a picture of you being the cause of their own problems. They also have to deal with the karma, which will increase exponentially when the continue to act against one that turns the cheek, while u just keep shining your light like a sun. For me, it's not about choosing sides, it's about moving beyond the fight. In order to have a perpetrator, you must have a victim. We can now finally choose to move beyond the victim consciousness and take responsibility for our own energy fields and world and know truly we are co-creators. We are here to shine our light brightly like Suns, but not to fight the darkness, merely enlighten it. If people knew better, they would do better. Shine the light on the darkness and people will know better. We are here to Be Suns ![]() |

Well, if I may jump on this band wagon once again as far as these pictures. I love art. I am an artist as well. I think that a picture of a woman's body is one of the most beautiful things that the Creator has created. I also received from this person a picture on my profile page after I rejected a friend request from this person. I rejected this person because I am not in alignment with this person. The reasons are obvious. So to also take into account of others visiting my profile page, and consideration towards them, I deleted it. It was an evil looking nude. It was also a message that was sent without the words being written. I'll admit it. I'm a lesbian.

Ghandi never gave up......he simply held his ground with his people & protested in a non-agressive way. He did not turn the other cheek & go home & forget about it, nor did his people. He demonstrated fighting ones oppressors without violence & not giving up. You say we are here to enlighten the darkness.....I think you underestimate the darkness......which is why we need to be on guard, while shining our light everywhere. |

Not directed at anyone in particular.
Did Gandhi fight the British? I suggest a watch of the movie Gandhi sometime, it is a great movie and will show how India gained independence. Gandhi's entire strategy was to turn the other cheek. Notice how you must stand your ground to turn the other cheek. If you run away, is this turning the other cheek? No it is not. You shine your light. Someone attacks you for it. Do you fight back? How about you stand your ground and keep shining your light instead! Thinking we must respond fist for fist, eye for eye, is the same kind of thinking that has had the world in wars for the past several thousand years. There has even been described a 700,000 year war that has been raging in space. Did either side turn the other cheek? Is there maybe a lesson to be learned there? Hmmmmmmmm I dunno know, whataya think? To get us where we want to go, a world that works for everyone, it's not about 'getting rid of them', it's about realizing that 'they' are not our problem. We are our problem! The problem lies within us. Fix our own consciousness, and we'll realize both the problems and solutions lie inside of us. ![]() |

Tibet - Yes a great example.
The entire world knows that the little Tibet is abused by the big Chinese. In fact, China has a very strong desire to go in and wipe out the light bearers that are in Tibet and turn it into a home for Chinese rather than Tibetans. They do not respect their spiritual culture, and in reality see it as a great threat. Now if it was all about fighting, China would have done this a long time ago. China is almost infinitely superior in terms of military strength. The reality is, if the Tibetans practice open warfare against the Chinese, the Chinese will almost instantly wipe them out. So why hasn't China been able to do this? The reason China has not been able to do this is because Tibetan's have not fought their oppressors. Instead, the Tibetans have continued to do their best to shine their light, and when practical (when it will ideally get some news coverage), protest their oppressors. They have been seen by the entire world being abused and mistreated as they turn the other cheek. I suggest, this ALONE has saved their culture from being taken over by the Chinese. Tibet has gained massive support from millions of people all over the world. If China we're to openly declare war on them, the opposition in the heart's and minds of the people of the world would overwhelm them. The Karma would literally be too much for the Chinese to bear. Their government would almost definitely begin to fall apart at the seems. Free Will is the most powerful law on planet earth. Because the majority of spiritual people on this planet have seen Tibetan's peaceful nature, they have made a commitment in their hearts that Tibet will remain. Tibet stands to this day, and will be a bright light in leading a New Earth in the East in large part due to their strategy of turning the other cheek. May we learn by their example in the face of enormous opposition we face. We don't have the guns, we don't have the technology, but a pure heart is so much more powerful. A New Earth will be built on the Pure in heart. |

Pablo's posts were a breath of fresh air to me. Everyone is going to commit a faux pas now and then. Do you choose to harp on it ad nauseum or forgive that person and move on? Think carefully, because one day the shoe will be on the other foot. |

I believe there is enough left of Tibet for it to be reborn in the near future. I believe great Light will be born in Tibet and India in the near future that will completely transform the East into the Light.

I certainly would feel bad if that happened to me. However...there is a line that has been crossed here, and there had been plenty of opportunity to correct the situation...but instead..we get more of the same, in the way of Kittens, and satirical videos..a laugh in the face as I see it. If you are aware that you have done something that has upset someone, would you not try to make it right with that person? I know I would. But nothing had been said until the "retreat". In fact, there did not have to be a retreat...all there needed to be was a simple understanding, and removal of the picture. Simple! No? So explain how that is running anyone off? A breath of fresh air...maybe if you want to view things that offend..however, most here do not want to be offended. That shoe will not be on my foot..as that is not something I would let go to this extent. |

I have not been on the receiving end of whatever actions caused this strife and therefore do not have the emotions that go with it. I am still left wondering if ill intent is the issue, or just lack of consideration and manners. I am disturbed by what seems be a trend of intolerance towards others here and that is what is driving my comments on this. Perhaps I expect too much from this forum and the people on it. We are only human after all. |

There is a Bohdhisattva among us who is remarkably original and knows of light and points to it in startling ways. He doesn't even know his own power.
Shunning comes from fear and ignorance. Let's take care here and tread lightly. Love Always, Bushycat |

How dos one tread lightly in the face of evil? |

What I meant, though, was if we step lightly,don't step on others' toes here and take off blinders and dwell in compassion, taking the next step might be easier. There is no reason for me to argue here. That was really all I wanted to add. With great respect to all, BC Last edited by bushycat; 11-13-2009 at 06:14 PM. |

No Bushy...I respectfully disagree..this picture is evil
http://www.projectavalon.net/forum/s...1&postcount=47 and it is offensive...to step away from it, and walk around it gives it power. It should have the light shown on it..then it will have no more power |
