I find the idea of using coercion repugnant, and to be opposing all spiritual truths. Is this Neale&#8217;s new direction? I hope not&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Again, I am merely asking questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll reply to that here. I am not suggesting for a minute that humanity&#8217;s approach should include violence of any kind. I do see how what I wrote in my last post here might have been interpreted that way. The point I was hoping to make (and did a clumsy job with, apparently) is that at present&#8230;at our present stage of maturity as a species, at our present level of emotional development&#8230;we don&#8217;t seem to be able to grasp that violence cannot end violence, and is never appropriate as an action or activity or choice of Highly Evolved Beings.<\/p>\n<p>The problem, I was hoping to point out, is that right now, we are not even considering a two-pronged approach, which could possibly produce surprising results. I used the discipline of a child as my bad example. Yet even discipline should not include &#8220;violence&#8221; of any kind, in my belief. I did not make that clear in my earlier writing.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called &#8220;battle of ideas&#8221; is one approach that humanity is not using with utmost skill or commitment. But the battle of munitions does not have to include bombs and bullets and weapons of mass destruction. I regret that I did not make it clear that I consider economic means are but one form of &#8220;ammunition&#8221; that our disciplining of nations whose leaders are acting like children could include more of. As well as other diplomatic means.<\/p>\n<p>All of that having been said, if somebody comes into my house or approaches me on the street and is moving to kill or injure my loved one, I am going to use physical force, if that is the only means that will work, to bring an end to the threat or the assault. I will certainly try to talk the assailant out of it, but if I cannot stop the killing or injuring of my loved one any other way, I will use physical force equal to that which is used against me.<\/p>\n<p>My mind struggles with this every time I look at it, but that is where I am right now at my stage of emotional development. I&#8217;m open to discussion on this.<\/p>\n<p>I am also open to finding a way to end the hacking of this website. No Comment entered here should be &#8220;moderated&#8221; by anyone. We&#8217;ll see what&#8217;s going on here, or we&#8217;ll just re-program the site.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone be well.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are looking at a website that is never edited or censored by anyone manually&#8230;least of all me&#8230;and, as far as I know, only by one level of programming, which finds and deletes posts with foul language or links to other sites.
