The soul may desire it for whatever reason (perhaps in lieu of forgiveness), but it is not something that HAS to happen. Likewise, no other HAS to do the raping. The would-be rapist may possess a desire to do this, but another choice could be made instead.
There seems to be some idea here that "the Creator" must experience all things. And we humans in 3D are the pawns to do it. Screw that. I disagree. We experience what we choose, that's all. If there is a Creator who desires to experience itself, and sets it up so that all manner of vile things are done in order to satisfy this, then for my part I rebel. This is very close to the idea of the Christian God who is forceful, jealous and vindictive.
I do understand the idea of containing the all, and the shadow. We may have the potential for anything infinitum. But to say that someone must be the rapist is a stretch; someone may desire to be, or want to be of that service, but I do not think it is a mandatory or forced thing that somewhere in the universe someone MUST do everything. It's not possible anyway, because of the concept of infinity. It's impossible to experience all things in an infinite universe.
Agreed! But here's the thing: Even IF that were true - that some entities need to rape and others need to be raped - that does NOT mean that WE must choose to be the rapist!!!
Several people have repeatedly used this line of reasoning to attempt to justify eating animals, because "maybe they need to experience pain, torture and slaughter". Ok fine but even IF that is true, that is exactly like the woman who 'needs' to be raped! Does that mean WE need to rape her? Does that mean WE need to torture and kill the animals? (or pay someone to do it for us?)
Whether people or animals 'need' or 'choose' to be tortured, raped and killed is irrelevant! Because even IF they do, that does NOT make it ok for US to do that to them!!! THAT is the point that keeps getting missed!
