pursed her lips. "Part of what makes this your time is your awareness of
the existence of Spirit, there fore your own immortal status, and the ways
mankind develops through many cycles of birth and death. As others
become aware that this cycle is an inseparable, sacred aspect of the
physical journey, they will have a context within which to view the deaths
associated with the earth‘s end-time cleansing, as well."
"I can see that intellectually, but how is working a famine different
from working a war?"
"Think in terms of contributing to the nature of the act: In a famine,
official observers and bystanders have the option of alleviating suffering
in an event that has reached its final manifestation. Inserting your positive
influence does not suspend, or create more suffering, so there is no onus
attached to it. It is not as if participants would want to make life or death
stands for the right to starve. Correct?"
"No shit."
"As I said, those gruesome events also provided millions of people
with the opportunity to choose to help those who would never again
behave in ways that would lead to them to starving to death. What‘s the
puzzled look about?"
"I‘m trying to wrap my mind around letting it all go to hell. I mean,
dictators would be popping up everywhere if they thought there was no
form of global peacekeeping to keep them in check."
"It‘s the other way around. If you want to see rights and freedoms
blossom, allow genocides to run their course and populations around the
world would know better than to allow the power mongers and the
corrupted to lead them."
"Because it would be covered by the media?" I raised my brow.
"Unsanitized coverage—we‘ll get to that."
"Still," I said stoically.
She clasped her hands. "I can‘t go further with this today; explaining
the right thing to do isn‘t something that can be spoon fed to reason, and
as I said, your day is going to be difficult enough. Can we go back to the
constructs of personality?"
"Fair enough," I relented.
"Where were we?" she grinned.
"Jesus, how do you expect…?"
"It was your insistence that stopped the flow of the lesson."
Taking a considered breath, I said, "If I have this right, my sense of
self-importance has me think I‘m unpredictable, if not unfathomable, but
in terms of my overall conformation to the world, and behavioural
evolution, I‘m old news?"
