There are No "Victims" | |

A popular aphorism that I believe applies is 'Life is not what happens to you, it's how you deal with it'. Personally I have witnessed 'victims' as a result of cause and effect whereby they did not have the mental and/or responsive capabilities to extrapolate the cause and therefore avoid it - even with prior advice. Do such people only have themselves to blame or do we pity their inadequacies? Take your dogma and shove it! Life is not about what happens to you, it's about how you deal with it. |

Quoting: MercurialStormIt's easy to say shit from the comfort of your own home but when you are in the real world, the truth is that there are victims. There's a lot of truth to this. And what if it is your children who are, say, being tortured in front of you ? Then what ? I was always a 'turn the other cheek' type until I became a mother. The maternal protection instincts are very strong . . . And yes, at a fundamental level I KNEW that my children were also immortal energy beings, but that did not prevent me doing my utmost to protect them ! |

Excuse me, just what would the point of that be? How about this: When we are born on earth, we become an individuated unit of consciousness taken from our group soul "quality". Out of attributes A, B, C, D, E, the group soul has enough A, B, C, D, but are lacking E. We are born out of our quality to gather quantity of E. When our earth life is finished, our consciousness joins as an individual point within the group soul, and our contribution of “E” leavens the whole group. Now, perhaps the soul wasn’t able to obtain “E” because it was all fucked up from its self worth being destroyed after years of child abuse. Well, the soul, when its body on earth dies, goes back to the group soul and retains its individuality, and even though it wasn’t able to contribute much “E”, the rest of the group compensates for this, and another bit of consciousness is born as an individual on earth to gather E. |

If they are to be responsible for their own misfortunes, then surely they are responsible for their own fortunes, too!? This is why this philosophy falls down. It's like we are responsible for our sins, but we need someone else to help us....an outside Savior...in order to evolve. This is just repackaged fundamentalism imho. How about we are responsible for ALL of it? Only then will we reclaim our own God-given power.

But I still believe we have to have a plan or contract when we reincarnate. And yes our contract or plan involves others. Consider this: a person ("A") incarnates as a being with catastrophic disabilities needing 24/7 care to live. A person("B"), say someone who has committed a minor criminal act, has been sentenced to community service and part of this sentence was to provide care for this individual "A". The experience "B" derives from this sentence changes "B's" life forever for the better. "A" is in such a position that most of us would question, why he is allowed to remain here in that useless state. I can say that at one point in my life I would have thought the same thing. However, I know now that "A" came for the simple reason that "B" was to learn something from their encounter, and for no other reason, other than perhaps the effect on "A's" family. “I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot explain as fraud.” CARL JUNG IN 1919 "The power of accurate observation is often called cynicism by those who don't have it." - George Bernard Shaw Cree proverb: Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find, that money cannot be eaten.
