Compassion through social strife

[Infinite]

Infinite,

Could this be the Phoenix rising from the ashes?

Yes. From death and destruction comes the new. This seems to me in some way similar to the death of the ego and the rebirth in a new and elevated being from the penetration into intelligent infinity.

I cannot help but note here that in Iraq the tore down statues as well, but that conduced to uninterrupted suffering and strife.

Well, they are different scenarios in my view. The United Kingdom is a nation with a more established democracy than Iraq. A statue being dropped there is something more strongly symbolic than in the Middle East, whose scene is one of successive dictatorships, coups, wars and revolutions.

Good public policy (moving away from policies which are dehumanizing and brutal towards those which are caring and supportive) is a miserably difficult process, one which protesting has nothing to do with.  It has to do with reconciliation and collaboration.   I think a united "phoenix-journey" will be a very slow one with some many forces sprawling in so many directions.

Remember when Ra talks about Abraham Lincoln. The process of preventing the enslavement of other human beings was achieved through struggle and war. This is part of the planetary game. It is not beautiful in our eyes, but how many real and significant changes throughout history have been achieved without struggle and protest? I wanted it to always be like what Gandhi did, but, as Ra said, much of humanity's progression has trauma as its catalyst. This can be seen both in an individual and collective context. The impression of the true green color is influencing the planetary consciousness, and it is not unthinkable that the delineation of polarities causes impacts.

Over the next few centuries we should begin to iron out the wrinkles.

I am less optimistic. I don't think everything will be okay. I believe that humanity will begin to be reduced more and more, by wars, diseases and natural catastrophes. I honestly do not believe that the current civilization will last for another 100 years. It is almost midnight. There are only a few minutes left before the clock sounds ...
