I didn't mean to imply more than this- although the discussion has definitely helped me come to a clearer understanding of my own opinion.
Quote:To illustrate focused love, let's use the example of a husband's love for his wife, or a mother's love for her child. Isn't that focused? Who among us can claim to love everyone on the planet in exactly the same way we love our families? Is it 'wrong' to do so?
These people have relationships with one another. The relationships form a basis for the natural channels by which love energy can be effectively transmitted. So not only is it not 'wrong' but it is a most excellent way to practice the sending of focused love.
Quote:Should we be expected to just radiate love to everyone equally, while here in 3D? Is that even something to aspire to, while in 3D? For to do so would require that we dispense with any family or friendship associations.
I don't see the contradiction between the two. We direct personal love to those whom we have a personal relationship with. We direct impersonal love to nobody in particular.
Quote:Now, is it any different if we choose to focus our love on STS entities? How is that any more 'wrong' than focusing love on an STO entity that we've chosen to spend our life with?
It's not "wrong" just perhaps more likely to result in unintended consequences, due to the influences discussed above.
Quote:It might be argued that it's 'ok' to focus love on one's wife, because it's mutual, but what about, say, the families of the shooting victims? Is it not acceptable, and even appropriate, to send extra love and prayers their way right now, in their time of need? Isn't that what compassion is all about?
Sure, why not.
Quote:How is sending similar prayers and love to the STS entities in need be any different?
It is different in the same way that sending material aid to despotic governmental regimes empowers them to further oppress their citizens.
Quote:What does that leave, then? Just why would we want to send focused love to STS entities?
Here is a reason:
Despite all this reasoning, I still don't see why it would be more wise to send focused love to STS entities, given the plethora of other avenues and recipients for our focused love energy.
Quote:In order to change the dynamic of what's been going on for many thousands of years, we have to first identify it, and then lovingly decline the service we had previously agreed to.
If we wish to release ourselves from this dynamic, then perhaps we might reconsider walking up and ringing their doorbell to say "Hello." If it is true that negative entities are on their "way out" so to speak, then perhaps is it not a particularly great idea to reach out to them and start tugging on their coattails.
