Changes

But now with this new [[tool]], you are bombarded, you are now inundated and it is [[difficult]] to not be strongly influenced by all this input. But, I will never stop reminding you that it does not need to [[contaminate]] your environment, that as a light anchor it is your [[duty]] to maintain a [[balance]] to the negative space, a contribution of positive space. There needs to be those contributions on that side of the scale to tip it. That is what you have as your greatest contribution to make, something to put on the positive side of the scale, some [[individual]] who would seek the qualities of [[Light and Life]] and promote them and facilitate them, literally creating that which they would choose.

Question: Machiventa, could I ask you a question? [Please] I was thinking back in 1942 we had a very famous Hollywood director, I think [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Capra Frank Capra] was his name. In the early days of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism Nazism] he came out with a series of movies called '[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_We_Fight ''Why We Fight''] which was pretty much what is happening now in terms of showing what was happening in Germany and Europe under the Nazis. So it begs the question of to what degree are we responsible, able to respond when we are aware of these things happening elsewhere. As you said, even though it doesn't affect us directly in our own personal lives and we can go about our own our personal lives as loving and open minded and open hearted as we can. To be able to respond to what is really blatant [[evil]] happening somewhere else, I know our leaders try to evaluate how much it affects our own personal [[security]] even as a nation, that the degree to which we have the ability to, shall we say, be the forces of [[good]] and simply stop what [[Michael]] once mentioned in one of His lessons as people caught up in the situation, especially the leaders, those in power and directing their forces, have gotten beyond the [[ability]] to stop themselves. Its like having a tiger by the tail, when you've killed so many people and created such hatred, they are not able to stop themselves so they have to be stopped by superior forces. To what degree then, where is our [[responsibility]] in this? Otherwise we could just simply relativize reality, make it [[relative]] and say well it will all end sometime, even those who are slain will go on to a better life. How do we avoid that to simply relativizing something that is real and we might have an ability to respond to?

Machiventa: Thank you for your question. It is a time honored question. How is one most effective as a healer and a minister, as one who would envision [[peace]] into the equation? I invite you to consider that the material level of [[cause and effect]], where force may be taken or required or used, these are the areas over which you have zero [[jurisdiction]]. I advise you to aim high, aim above the material details and [[conflicts]] and steps to the level of divine [[infusion]] of enhanced [[values]]. So, by this I mean, your energies, those of you who are aware of your [[co-creative]] potentials, your energies are best spent in bouncing your [[intentions]] off your divine atmosphere and bouncing these energies to influence a [[change]] of values, a change of awareness, the bestowal of peace, the flavor of [[love]]. The [[essence]] of all these things may be literally [[projected]] by those who would do so and be showered upon entire regions and peoples and areas where they may be beneficial. And in the same way that you may be affected by the plight of these [[individuals]], they may be showered by the intentions of [[love]] and [[peace]] and [[mercy]] and [[grace]].
