Hi Icaro,
Welcome to the forum!
And Merry Christmas, if you celebrate that sort of thing. You may find the story of my personal awakening here in Confessions of a Thirty Year Old Fringe Dweller. I wrote it around Christmastime 2007. By the way, what do you think of Santa Claus? I am not his biggest fan, I will admit.
I think about this a lot as well. I think that somewhere along the way I must have become overly distorted toward wisdom, and so returned here to 3D to recapitulate some lessons of compassion.
Agreed. I can get very opinionated and I know that sometimes it can come off as perhaps arrogant or full of myself. I wonder though, about what happens in abusive situations. I can think of a lot of people who say or do harmful things to their "loved" ones all the time, and seem to believe that it is an appropriate expression of love. Or others who are enablers of alcoholics, drug addicts, and those with eating disorders.
I think sometimes what is perceived to be an act of love can actually be a disservice to the loved one. For example, right now I am watching Buffalo '66 and Christina Ricci's character allows herself to be abused by her boyfriend because she believes that she is the only one that truly loves him.
What do you think?

Putting into place the lessons learned in 4d/5d/6d and having every decision in 3d be the most absolute correct approach can very hard..not all the time, but it can get confusing. In fact, that is the work of 6d..balancing compassion and wisdom..loving other-selves while nurturing the self.

Quote:I think it is our duty to be opinionated at times..that is, to offer wisdom. The most helpful advice to remember, is to always know and understand that you accept and love the person no matter what. If whatever you do you think is appropriate and out of love, you are not doing a disservice.
