My concern is that when people learn about the Law of One that they will just sit back and allow criminals to violate those around them without intervening. I'm also suspicious that super bad criminals could have thought of this whole Law of One thing because initially they sound like they are saying there are no consequences for people's bad action therefore no justice for those violated. I see these leftist running around defending pedophiles, murderers and rapists yet they ignore and ridicule the victim and those who would stand up for them. I don't want the Law of One turning into what other religions have become, a sadistic farce. When I first learned the Law of One it made so much sense and it's a beautiful message and I really like Ra, I could totally hang with him.
I cannot however allow someone to be violated on my watch, it's in my nature to protect and if I'm going to follow the Law of One I need to get past this hang up. I'm nervous the actual nazis (leftist) will use this to abuse people. Killing someone in order to save others may not erase what they did but it sure as hell will stop them and validate their victims. Someone has to stand up to cruelty.
Cancer is one with us, we kill it wherever we find it. Cockroaches are one with us, we kill them too because they make us sick and like totally ewww. Bacteria is one with us, yet we separate ourselves from it and we kill it if it makes contact because bacteria can make us sick and kill us. A dog attacking you gets beaten off of you and maybe killed if you want to live. A thief breaking into your home and assaults you and your family gets killed in self defense. Laws of nature.
So thank you for clarifying. Because I don't want to be in a position of self defense nor do I want to find myself needing to defend others though I have. So doesn't that mean they are in disservice to self and others.....I really wish Ra would have included this term. I've seen extermely horrible stuff most people can't even comprehend. I know how evil people can be and when I hear there is no evil or wrong or right red lights start flashing because it's like trying to normalize and make acceptable the abnormal and unacceptable. I'm not going to stand by while a child gets raped in the middle of the street in broad daylight like Obama wanted our troops to do. I can't because it harms me and later on that kid is gonna grow up and have issues and he may be a general one day running a terrorist group and maybe he wouldn't have turned out that way if someone stepped in to protect him and treated him like he mattered.
Does Ra say what to do when finding people like this?
A lot of people don't understand spiritual acceptance.
Acceptance does not mean inaction; acceptance instead describes the emotions you feel when you think or are in a situation.
For example, do you get angry and hate the flu (which often implies rejectance). No, most of us understand and accept that flu and flu season is a part of this Earth, for whatever reason. We don't get emotionally disturbed too much by thinking about the flu or experiencing it (I mean it feels bad, but doesn't make our blood boil or get us really angry). Though we accept the flu, we still take action to prevent it - taking supplements and medicine. We just accept it as a part of life.
So for an example closer to your topic: many police officers, and judges, and DAs, accept that there are homeless people addicted to alcohol but still take action to bring them into jail and court for drunk in public (even if they are just sleeping drunk on a bench, not doing anything). But these very often judgmental people - DAs, police officers, and judges are usually judgmental people in my opinion - usually accept that homeless drunks are a part of life and give them a normal sentence of credit for time served (released since they stayed in jail waiting for their court appearance). The Das, police, and judges don't get emotionally upset by these small-time criminals because yet they still take action. In essence, they have accepted these people are a part of life here on earth.
You can similarly - once you go inward and learn about unconditional love and heal the self - you can similarly begin to see all 'bad actors' and "Service-to-self" individuals as an acceptable part of this universe. But you will still take action to stop what they are doing - not out of hate, or anger (once you evolve fully into this), but out of love for those they hurt and you might also feel sadness in their choices.
I'm not saying I'm 100% there. But I can see now the nature of acceptance, and how you can accept a murderer, yet still defend yourself and others versus them without anger, but out of a sense of love for others.
Yes! Thank you for this.....This helps so much. I feel compassion towards those who do bad things. When the boston bombings happened the first thing I felt was sadness that the younger brother had gotten into what he did, I'm glad he was caught just sad his life choices led him to the coclusion that happened. For those who have abused me I feel no hatred, I do wish for them to heal from the trauma that caused them to be the way they are but I know they choose to be the way they are. I really appreciate your answer it's very helpful. Big hugs
