As to your earlier discussion with Ankh about the positive vs negative paths and the roles of fear and protection. I don't believe that fear always leads to an STS path. I believe that those on the STS path often use fear, generate fear, to control other selves, especially other selves that are not "on a path", so to speak. Or as Ra called them those who ". . . .have little urge to alter or better their condition."
I think that fear sometimes is an impetus for people like that to try to move more toward service to others, and I believe this was so stated or at least hinted at in the material somewhere, but I can't seem to find it right now. I do know that I have seen many of our brothers and sisters here on bring4th wonder if they were "harvestable" - and I believe that the fear of not being harvestable is sometimes a motivator to more actively chose the STO path.
I was interested in your quoting the Bible. Every time I read anything from the LOO material, I believe there are parallel messages to be found in the Bible. That is what drew me to the material in the first place.
Gemini Wolf - I do believe that the material mentions that the spiritual struggle or "war" continues in other dimensions. However, I do not believe that there is anything in the Universe that can separate us from the love of our Creator. So even if we somehow become "slaves" in physical form, I believe we are still able to choose to be of service to others. I think you have nothing at all to fear. This is my personal belief, and as always please feel free to take or leave it as best suits your own needs.
About the video - it is quite a beautiful story, once which I believe we play out over and over in our lives, even when we don't have the glimpses that this individual seemed to have when reciting his speech. Your sharing of it is much appreciated. I believe I have told you about a dear friend I met when I worked in downtown Dallas, TX who was from India. We had many, many discussions about the nature of life, time etc. and found that despite our seeming disparate backgrounds and teachings received during our upbringing, we were actually quite similar in our beliefs, and indeed in our experiences in life.
I have rented the Life of Pi to watch tonight after dinner. Have you seen it yet?
Much love to you all!
No, Ruth, I have not watched the 'Life of Pi', yet. One of these days, I should, I guess.
Regarding the fear factor, I had more the potentials rather than the actual manifestations, in my mind.
In terms of America and India, I somehow think that the two countries have a very close destiny of some kind. It is interesting that Christopher Columbus reached the new continent, while setting out in the quest to reach India through the most optimum sea route. India's modern rise is also closely tied with the commercial and people to people relationships that our country has with America. It is a genuine partnership, I believe. It is now translating in many cases into family ties, as well, for I increasingly now hear of Indo-American marriages. There was one within my extended family, too.

As I said yesterday, GW, this is a very interesting question. May be I could try finding some quotes that speak, at least tangentially, on this idea.
I was so exhausted after the long post to Ankh yesterday that I had no energy left to blog after that.
