The Last Battle

[Shin'Ar]

I think there would be great surprise, if the curtain was lifted in a sudden fashion, at how many of us have worn the dark robes...at how many of us have been murderers, rapists, thieves, liars, warlords, tyrants, etc. Not everyone has it within themselves to actively pursue the negative path, but I guarantee you that, we've all done terrible things at some point in our existence. I think it is rather proud to hold oneself above the darkness, when it inevitably dwells in each and every heart. I think this is one strong reason for so much veiling and secrecy in the first place. If you knew the guy next door to you was Hitler reincarnated, would it effect how you treated him? What if you found out YOU were Hitler reincarnated? Would it affect how you treated yourself?

Pretty much everyone on this forum is aware of my history by now...the identity I wore only a few short incarnations ago. I was fearful in revealing this information, but I have encountered nothing but love and respect amongst those I once likely persecuted. This has made a profound impact on me- this level of love, forgiveness and acceptance. You have breathed new life into a tired old soul, and rekindled my desire to serve. You may not even be aware that you have done anything, but I say from the bottom of my heart that that this offering of love, even if it is completely undeserved, even if it isn't immediately accepted and processed...it makes a world of difference, and it has the capability to rock worlds to their core.

What matters is not what we have done but what we have progressed into and become.

That does not mean that atrocities against humanity should be taken lightly or that those who have done horrific acts should be casually glanced over as though their acts were not horrific.

We have an obligation to humanity to address inhumanity and speak out against it and attempt to reveal its horrific nature and also the much more beneficial aspects of love instead.

But we also have an obligation to realize that by design we are all tempted and free to choose direction, and that we are also able to evolve and develop into higher Being. because of that Design we must be open to both compromise and forgiveness so that love can replace taht emotional baggage that would inhibit such love from increasing and being enhanced.

yes, we have all done bad things. No we should not get away with it just because everyone has done the same. Yes, we should all have the opportunity to become better than our past. This is evolution.
