1997.03.16 Q'uo, on negative greetings

[Turtle]

I want to put a couple of quotes here from Q'uo about the nature of negative greetings and how to be loving towards the otherself who is commencing the attack. These quotes are powerful in my opinion, and can be applied to physical and metaphysical threats, and the idea of fear in general.

"When one is attacked it is natural to defend, and yet in the sense of psychic greeting the defense creates the prolongation of attack."

"We would suggest that when an entity is faced with a new part of self the solution is, as always, love."

"When the feared is finally seen with love then shall phenomena make little difference."

I can add my viewpoint on these ideas quite clearly I believe...because ever since I've stopped giving a rat's bottom about polarity and STS/STO paths, I have found a strong serenity that almost never leaves me. I have finally made some progress accepting everyone and everything I come across, and my response to it all has been one of more or less peace and compassion. I hope these 3 quotes can ease the burden on anyone who is having a tough time with the whole problem of worrying about "those who would do you harm."

As always, Godspeed!
