Recoverer,
"What you wrote reminds me of what Bruce Moen says about belief system crashes. People often get caught up in what they consider to be comfty, cosey belief systems, and it can be challenging when they break out of them."
It's challenging, and that's why I presume, again, that a LOT of incarnations are needed to both immerse one's self in and disengage from this game. Sometimes it seems like this road just keeps going on forever and ever, same oblivious shit different day, but in the long run I think it's worth it. I get the feeling that my disc has balance in himher self but needs to experience balance/merging of the polarities to go get to know and understand it. I also think that mastery of emotions is of one of the keys on the chain taken from all this. When I read stuff, it's kinda blank and straightforward, but when I hear an incarnation saying the same words, with emotion added, it's enriched and much more clear, vivid and alive. Like a painter learning to paint pictures with light and shadow, then add colour.
"The problem is, it seems as if a few people are dictating the belief systems for many other people, so there are a lot of people who are easy to mislead, quite often not for the better."
Yeah, I know and agree. But then again I think that's part of the experience, and think that some members, on the surface may seem to live wasteful lives, but are bringing a lot of valuable experience to the table, so that other members expand on that, and "get the job done".
About the topic, other information I've got, love or crappity smack it, makes no difference to me, 'sma' is used among the winged reptilian royals to expand life of their bodies (hard to let go of being a body and power?). Orion reptiles infiltrate systems rather than the bang on domination like sirians. The egyptian statues with dog bodies show who's the head of the orion and sirian alliance. Orion is ruled by a queen, sirians are ruled by a king, a situation reflected on earth. Oh well. Fantasy, fiction. Who the crappity smack knows, for now.
