Episode #60

Jeremy, I think the issue is that all of us have a great deal of investment and attachment involved in this topic. As an activist, I understand where somebody is coming from who wants to shake us into feeling what our society is engineered to hide. There is an urgency, sometimes even an anger, borne of feeling that suffering deeply. On the other hand, I understand how a person wants to figure out how they feel for themselves, and that sometimes the activist attempts to pull people farther along than they personally are ready.

I keep coming back to the Q'uo excerpt in my signature: "It is not that love will tell you what to do. It is that love will tell you how to do it with love." Maybe it's not so much what side we occupy on issues like this but the way we use taking a side to limit our willingness to feel.
