No, I don't think so. I think I can let go of my prejudices of your belief. If it means gaining unity, for sure. We simply would have to not bring it up. Actually, in the immediate, it is not necessary to deal with this anyway, we just need to agree to solve our problems. Most of it infrastructural, things like that. I am not saying that mental, emotional and spiritual aspects are not going to play in, but I believe the immediate issues would be mostly superficial anyway. And in that regard, it could be a manageable feat. It just depends on how willing people are to survive this.
These are things I've gathered since having these discussions here. Which is why I came to this site. To explore and see where I was at. It taken what it's taken. So maybe it's confusing. In other words, I've seen something new and changed my approach. Anything wrong with that? I've mentioned it some, on the other thread of mine, and some here also, maybe you've missed them. If you have read these things, and still feel that way, then I think you are misunderstanding me somehow. And hey, good intentions may be all we have at this point, got to have something.
Here is an example I wrote to Hawkins:
That sort of knowing is pretty large thing to claim Hawk. I know how you feel the right to claim it. I respect that. I will also tell you I wish you had other ideas, but you would say the same to me. I've learned on this site that an effort to have people put aside their religions enough so we can unify and solve our immediate threats, can't happen in time. So, we'll have to work with it as it is I'm afraid. It's been quite the eye opener, and it scares me. But hey, one has what they have. I would ask you to find that in your knowing, and in your faith, I am sure there is law for the preservation of life, let's agree on that, and DO that.
That is called a concession. Not to believing what you believe, not to expecting you to believe like me. But to the fact we are going to have to work together, and do the best we can, regardless of our various beliefs. So, when it comes time to get off our butts and do something, we'll have t shut up quite a bit. Get what I'm saying?
How's this, you have your heaven and hell, and I'll have my trips through the universe, how's that? You don't need to know what I'm doing on Europa, and I don't need to know what you are doing in Heaven. But while hear on earth, maybe we can do our part to protect and make it last as long as it can. What's the matter with that?
I get what you're saying -but I disagree on the shutting up. Being slow to speak, slow to anger and quick to understand is good, but I am often told to shut up when I am saying things that would benefit everyone -by those who don't necessarily want me to shut up -but want to hear it exclusively -which will not help. So -I don't shut up -and they attempt to censor -misrepresent -spin -preempt, etc... which is their choice. I will continue to do what is necessary to build the foundation of a better world -and they can hinder me if they will -and the results will be their responsibility.
They say "loose lips sink ships" -but it depends on the situation. Allowing information to be heard by friend and foe alike may seem like a bad idea, but if the enemy has that information already, the situation can be turned to advantage.
Giving the enemy false information is an oft-used tactic, but when the enemy already knows all your information -and HE is telling one to shut up about it -even using one's own friends against him -it's time to run around like a fool shouting it at the top of your lungs in order to counter the foolish running around of- and sayind/doing of stupid things by others -which may require getting one's ignorant countrymen out of the way for a time. When the enemy sees the deceived collective mind is about to be educated -and see correctly -he focuses -more than before -on separating individual minds to make said vision worthless -and make a TRULY collective mind and cooperative group impossible. Ahem.
Only the pawns can be deceived -and even this is made less effective by the fact that the pawns don't need to think. We waste our time with lying ways and attempting to confuse the enemy. We know more now -and still do exactly the same stupid things. We know the enemy exists, but we still follow his plan!
We have not done well, we have attempted to cover our collective butt -and made the situation worse -though we make a big deal of our minimal successes and false successes to gain support for our stupidity.
Here again, spiritual advice -which certainly goes against every natural tendency or perceived wisdom -would win the day..
(Isa 30:15 NKJV) For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: "In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength." But you would not,
(Isa 30:16 NKJV) And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"; Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses"; Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!
(Isa 30:17 NKJV) One thousand shall flee at the threat of one, At the threat of five you shall flee, Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain And as a banner on a hill.
...but when the enemy and the homegrown spinners see that people begin to agree with this, they quickly create a counterfeit to appease the people, attack those who don't agree with their stupid plans -AND STILL DO EXACTLY THE SAME STUPID THINGS.
Being wise as the serpent, but peacful as doves, is good. Not throwing our "pearls" before swine, so to speak, is good. What surrounds us is absolute idiocy. The ways of those who surround us are their own demise -coordinated by the enemy.
No "deal" -
ever -just do the right thing and things will get better. Compromise is not wise.
