Are you going to take the vaccine?

[Diana]

Everything in 3D is always the same spiritual test. We are presented with catalysts, none of which has any importance in and of itself, and the test is how we react to all those catalysts. There is Love in the moment, will we see it? We are not here to fix anything, we are here to find out if we can manage to love this planet as it is, warts and all.

I'd like to elaborate on this. Yes, our reaction to catalyst is the bottom line; then, the processing of it is another key; and beyond that, does this lead to transformation, or, rather, does it enhance polarization.

As far as loving this planet, personally I do not see this as separate from loving myself. More on this below.

I will add here that I am not trying to argue with your stance, Patrick. I respect your approach, and I am just using your post as a springboard to explain mine.

Regarding vaccination, from the bottom of the rabbit hole it might seem impossible to find where the Love is in this. But from where I am standing it is obvious to me. First, I do not believe even one iota of all that is said against vaccination. I see it as a true healing modality. So of course that makes it very easy for me to see it very positively and with Love.

On the other hand, where I put my efforts at the moment is into seeing where the Love is in this whole anti-vaccination movement. I see some of it, like people wanting to protect others from what they believe is a grave threat, I can see the Love there. But I have a lot of work to do still in that regard.

There are many people who are concerned with the adverse effects of the vaccines, and this is a legitimate concern. You may be right, Patrick, that the vaccines are fine, and again, we will know in the following years what the longterm effects are (because that data is not available yet). That is not what concerns me in this global event.

My concern is free will and freedom. Love according to Ra is important, but so is free will. I personally have a strong desire to maintain my autonomy as an individual while also having the capacity to accept this planet as is, though that can be very difficult at times. I have compassion for all beings, including myself. If someone excludes themselves they create separation in my view. I am not going to willingly accept my own enslavement (human rights and freedoms eroded) for what is called the good of all yet there is little evidence this is true. I would have to believe the "official narrative" which is not even remotely reliable in my opinion. If I am not allowed to travel in the future due to not being vaccinated, then so be it—I can accept where this world has gone—but I will not give up my freedom to choose; in other words, I will not just do what corrupt governments and institutions (pharmaceutical and insurance companies) say because that's what they say. There is wisdom which may be balanced with love, and discernment is an aspect of wisdom. I am not saying my wisdom is better than yours or anyone else's, but that's where free will and freedom come in.

And, I have been doing more than the usual research into a cross section of the media on Covid and the vaccines, and honestly I see no real evidence that the vaccines are worth the risk. Especially now that they want to vaccinate very young children.  

I guess that if everyone is really wishing to find Love in everything, no matter where we stand, we are all going to find each others and meet in the middle somehow.

The world just keeps getting more divided and divisive on this issue. My thoughts turn to forgiveness being where we end up in the transition to 4th density. I think in the future the general public may forgive corrupt governments and institutions and STS entities for the harm caused. Not only regarding this pandemic, but in all things. I don't see any other way of moving past the power/greed structures.

I don't usually talk about forgiveness, and prefer to focus on detachment, or in other words, acceptance. But I think in order to move towards harmony as a global society, that the corrupted will need the forgiveness. An example would be forgiving those ensconced in power positions such as political figures, CEOs of banks and pharmaceutical companies, etc., who have been drunk on power and greed and aren't necessarily trying to polarize STS. I think there may be a lot of people like this who just keep playing the money game and like a sybarite, just enjoying the creature comfort of the whole scenario. Politicians I think get up there in the structure and find that they are stuck and compromise their ethics and get lost in the game. 

As for wanderers and those who come here to love this place and not fix it, this idea does not preclude freedom. I don't recall Ra saying anything about coming here with the expectation of being a slave to this place. But Ra did mention individual unique expression being important, and that does not line up with sacrificing one's authenticity to comply with the 3d powers controlling the planet. I will add, to clarify, that I don't think all individuals in politics or working in any corrupt institutions are corrupt themselves; the systems are too complex and compartmentalized for such simplicity.
