A being of light will radiate lots of love. Therefore, it is apparent that such a being is worth listening to.
Trying to figure out what somebody is like while reading what he (or she) said either in a book or on a forum is quite a different thing. A lot of people get away with presenting themselves in a way that doesn't accurately reflect what they are about. Unfortunately many people make the mistake of turning such misleading people into authority figures.
Because of the above I believe it is best to not set ourselves up as an authority figure. Just say what we have to say and if people like it then they do, if not, then they don't.
Being commited to the greater good doesn't mean that we have to go to extremes in order to get others to understand what we are tyring to share. Because this physical World isn't like the spirit World we have to find an approach that works. This World requires an approach that includes moderation, partly because overzealous false teachers have made people weary of overzealous people. Plus, if a person has the inner yearning, a willigness to become aware of something, a moderate approach to reaching out to such a perrson will probably work. An overzealous approach might turn him off.
I don't mean to suggest that all overzealous people have bad intentions. It is more of a matter of their not understanding how to manifest their good intentions in an effective way that will work for whoever is interested.
Albert, i agree that moderation and balance is often preferable, and for many of the same reasons you listed above, but the whole situation is far more broad and complex than just the above.
We now have a "moderate" President, one who gives off a certain appearance, who talks in a calm, clear, rational manner. Does this make him "positive", does this make him for the people? No, he is a puppet who plays his manipulating role well to fool others.
I would prefer a real President, one not concerned with presenting a certain IMAGE to manipulate others with, someone who can get fiery and worked up about the problems of the world. Someone actually REAL. I will NOT play the politician. We have had far too much fakeness in both the political and New age arenas.
Fake Gurus often put a false, spiritual smile on their faces and speak to others in a "spiritual manner" and act on the surface in order to hook and manipulate people, to get them to look past their rotten core. I will NOT play the fake Guru.
Our Teacher was REAL--he did not have much concern for the conventions of society or any spiritual "image", and while he was often "moderate" and balanced in his approach with others,
he also used, tapped into, and displayed Fire to make points. Are you wiser than he and his example?
We live in extreme times, a cycle of much change and transformation. Related somewhat to our times, is an interesting excerpt from the Cayce work from Expanded Guidance on "Noah" and his times.
"The deluge was not a myth (as many would have you believe) but a period when man had so belittled himself with the cares of the world, with the deceitfulness of his own knowledge and power, as to require that there be a return to his dependence wholly--physically and mentally--upon the Creative Forces.
Will this entity see such again occur in the earth? Will it be among those who may be given those directions as to how, where, the elect may be preserved for the replenishing of the earth?
Remember, not by water--for it is mother of life in the earth--but rather by the elements, fire." Reading 3653-1
Does the above sound "moderate" and balanced to you? Does it sound like the Creative Forces
always are moderate and balanced in their dealings with Earth and with humans? Sounds like a cleansing Fire is coming.
And when will you actually,
really believe the Creative Forces about the above? Does it have to smack you in the face for you finally to really believe? There are times to speak and act strongly, to be Fire, and this IS that time, for there is not much time left before the above unfolds.
Speaking strongly, directly, and more dramatically impresses words/info more strongly on the minds and memories of others because emotion reaches people more than does intellect. It's not about them "believing" in us or our words
now, whose minds are we changing? We can speak moderately, softly, till the cows come home, but most here and there will not HEAR us, unless their is enough openness within THEM to begin with.
No,
this is a preparation for later. When people see these events unfold, then will they hearken to our words and remember the things we have told them about the hindering E.T.s, about examples coming forth, about the importance of Yeshua, etc. This is why i have been directed to speak more plainly and strongly to others. It is as emotional preparation for later and is necessary.
I speak on his authority, and his authority is greater than all of our authorities combined. We have to turn over apple carts, make waves, speak strongly, impress our words into the minds and hearts of others.
Just as difficult, challenging, and extreme things and catalysts must and will happen in the outer world, so too must friction and challenge happen in interpersonal relationships, communication, and interactions. It's one of the more effective ways to break through into the protected shadow aspects and levels of others. It's a teasing of that junk, out into the Light of day, so that it can be worked on consciously.
Related to this very process. In some ways, i was glad and proud that Vicky spoke to me the way she did, for despite that it partly being motivated by emotional uncenteredness, it's shows that she's growing and is taking the advice and preparation of her guidance. Her guidance has been trying to get her out of her introverted shell. She tends to care far too much about what others think of her and tends to act, or rather not act, from that space too often.
She is in the process of integrating her own Yang and Fire side and her guidance is trying to push and nudge her in various different ways. This is why i spoke to her as i did, despite that i knew how she would probably react and feel towards me and that there would be some temporary emotional turmoil involved. I am proud that she spoke up so strongly and bluntly towards me, it shows progress on her path back to completion.
There are different kinds of growth Albert, and not just the surface ones of trying to convince others with moderate, INTELLECTUAL, balanced messages and sharing of "data".
But yes, we live in unusual and extreme times, and much is changing and much more will change. Certain messages need to get out there and moreover they need to be impressed on the minds and especially hearts (emotional, emotions) of others as a preparation. Nonphysical guidance tries to tell them things, but often when it comes to do with things people really
emotionally DON"T WANT TO HEAR, they block out that info.
It is easy to block out nonphysical guidance at times. Hence, sometimes expanded guidance has to "resort" to speaking through channels on the Earth whose voices and interaction cannot be so easily ignored.
Speaking of which, you are afraid of power. You are afraid of the power within you especially. You are afraid of power because you have seen power so misused so often in this Earth and you really disagree with and dislike that. Power is just that, power. It is neither constructive, nor non-constructive in and of itself. It's how you use it and especially your intent which matters the most.
Like you, i use to be afraid of power, because like you i've mostly only seen non-constructive examples wherein people misused power in relation to others and i really don't agree with or like that. I was afraid of and repressed the power within myself, for fear of becoming like that.
However, through focus and study on one of the few people in the Earth who tapped into much power and who always used it constructively, i've begun to understand that power in and of itself is not harmful intrinsically. I've started to get over the fear of my own power and using same. I'm in the process of not repressing it, but opening up to it.
Likewise, must you do similar, and i have full faith in you and that when you fully open up to the power within, you will channel it constructively and with positive intent. That power is Fire in it's very essence, and Fire contains A LOT of energy potential and transformative power.
Real power, real authority is something we
earn and which is handed to us from authority greater and higher than ourselves. This is the meaning of that phrase and title, which means "anointed". This is the meaning of the dove descending on Yeshua, and the voice which spoke, "this is my Son in whom i am well pleased with". Once he got to a certain point in his growth and attunement to Love, he was 'chosen' by an authority greater than him, to be the mouthpiece in the Earth for that highest authority.
Perhaps related. Tom Campbell has written that the old Big Cheese has recently been replaced with a new Big Cheese. Who puts a Big Cheese in that position to begin with, anyways? Who invests such authority and power to an individual? Why would an individual even be invested with such authority and power to begin with?
