Violence or Peace Judgment or Observation Nothing is Black and White...

Most things are not black and white or even shades of gray they are multi-color multi-faceted and have texture.  The old sayings that might is right and it may be a last resort-violence BUT WHY?  Judgment for those in control  who have the power make sure everyone who is under their control understand fully that they are in charge and right.  Linda McPharlin and I were discussing on her journal INsight is 20/20 and a spark of thought came through we have an important choice to continue to support violence or to support peace.  Looking behind ourselves on this planet it has been a dangerous place because of people who crave power and control and the exercise of that power and control.  What we can change is who we are and that change will make a difference...

Linda,
You as I are having fun living within and out of this place we call home. Your first paragraph above "So the issue in helping heal humanity and ending..." I am going YES YES YES! Your second I am reading and agreeing that "What if we could teach each other that it’s okay," and up to that point going YES YES YES ! Then you write "inevitable, and perhaps even helpful to disagree with one another?"

IF there is a difference between our reference or perception through Observation and Acceptance of ourselves and others, there Is No disagreement and it will not exist. If we make judgment of ourselves or others YES then there exists disagreement.

In the TNIV John 17:14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.

This passage illustrates my understanding that we can operate fully in the third dimension (of this world of time and space) or chose to operate in say the fourth where there is ultimate possibility.) In the third dimension of time and space there is where we are and where another is and depending on wither we agree on that conflict can and will occur.

On the surface your statement "that it okay..., ... to disagree with another?", different points of view; celebrating differences we agree. If I accept and observe what you wrote and as the passage suggests be not of this world I would say thank you and... How do we as Copperstrings members, community members and of this planet move in a direction that there is Peace and not disagreement? How do we operate more in the not of this world model?

One saying that is of this world  and that I am very sensitive to is "I guess that we are going to have to agree to disagree" Oxymoron? Of this world? Non Sequitur? For me there is no respect for either of the other person or group. Some call this a stalemate. When this situation occurs in a occurrence when another person or group is in power or control we know whose point takes command.

There is no Equality in Judgment! Equality comes through Observation and Acceptance of ourselves and others.

Much of what I read of those who write on and off of this site are concerned with “of this world”, and that which is not.  There seems there are definite lines of delineation yet should there be?  Simply put of this world in my mind is Judgment while observation is not of this world.  Yes one who judges can observe yet when you are not of this world infinite possibilities are realized.  Okay you may ask-what of this mind/body?  It is what it is and we have the opportunity and freewill and choice to operate where we choose and there is a duality by being connected, linked.

One may ask, Dave are you accepting of who you are and others; that is  a work in progress!
