any L&L from covid, vax?

Thank you, IndigoSalvia, for starting this thread and sharing your thoughts.

How do you see these qualities playing out during the pandemic? How do you see us willing, as opposed to controlling? The controlling seems quite obvious, e.g., various mandates, and less obvious in other ways. 

Yes, I think the pandemic is an excellent catalyst for people to learn the difference between willing and controlling. The pandemic is a very complicated situation with much deception across the spectrum of opinion. I think most people are wanting that everyone is protected from disease and life returns to some sense of normalcy. There are those who are controlling in order to achieve that goal with mandates, coercion, censorship, and manipulation. There are also those who are willing that everyone is free from that control.

Due to the amount of conflicting information, I also view it as most important to will that the truth become known to all whatever the truth is. Because even if we are willing or controlling our way to our goal, if we have false information, we might still be taking the wrong actions to take us to our goal or preventing that false information from being shown to be false. We can will the truth be known with freedom of speech, open discourse, collecting more data, being open-minded, and being kind to those who have different opinions to encourage more communication so everyone can work together to find the truth.

There is also another element to the pandemic, in my opinion, where there exists groups of people who don't have the goal of protecting people or returning life back to pre-pandemic functioning even though they claim that is their goal. They have goals such as gaining more money, more power, and more control over people's minds by controlling the flow of information. They seek to convince people that it is only through control that the pandemic problem will be solved in order to use them as a tool to establish a different kind of control. Many people naively assume that service-to-self individuals aren't willing to lie to this extent or take actions that would harm many people under the guise of helping.

There is also an aspect that willing is a long term solution while control is a short term solution. Those who are willing peace, joy, love, truth, harmony, and freedom for all take more time to build a long term foundation that can last millions of years while those who seek control often think in terms of centuries at most. Peace, joy, love, truth, harmony, and freedom are infinite structures while war, anger, fear, falsity, disharmony, and control are finite structures and cannot sustain. Because of this long term nature of willing and infinite structures, it can appear that the finite structures and control are more powerful, but one day they shall meet their end.
