Quote from trendlover:
This makes no sense.
You are saying, do not judge that child rapist by saying he should be punished, because I am just as wrong as the rapist because I have heard about his crime and judged him worthy of punishment.
So Jesus I have "sinned" for judging the child rapist worthy of punishment, now I should "pluck my eye out?"
If this world makes sense to you, then the truth won't make sense until you are "weary" of the world. Meanwhile, allow me to clarify how you are perceiving my thought-stream.
I'm saying that if you truly want to be helpful, you must be harmless. I'm saying that if you want to be helpful, you would focus on the core issues with a view toward preventative medicine and exodus from the theatre of madness.
What you call sympathy only serves to keep these scenarios in motion because you are not addressing core issues relative to truth. The actors involved are all extremely strong, else they could not submit to act out these scenarios. Now if you want the scenarios to cease, you must empathize with their strength. It takes strength to exit this horrible movie theatre. I am only helpful as I empathize with your strength to do just that. If you want to keep it going, then sympathize with weakness. I'm saying that you are being set up. Your reactions are predictable, and serve to further predicate the macabre scripts in store for you.
If you are not content to be "passer-by", then do what I did, and insert a slice of reality where before there was the illusion of a problem. To insert reality, you must know who you are, because essentially, you
are reality surveying unreal circumstances. Reality is miraculous. Whenever you insert reality you are working miracles. When you assert a miracle, you are inserting the true identity of all parties concerned into a script that runs off of Self-denial.
Miracles are harmless, win-win solutions to apparent problems. Miracles are the closest demonstration/reflection of love this world will ever know. If you are not content to be passer-by, then by all means, raise a little hell so-to-speak. Has someone been murdered? Then solve the problem by raising him from the dead. In this way, show that no harm has been done, and so, no need for punishment. Get it? The world has yet to see a miracle-worker truly motivated to demonstrate the reality of the truth, and the unreality of the world. You are entitled to miracles because of who you are. You are entitled to give them, yeah, required. You are capable of working miracles far more magnanimous and influential than mine. What would you rather do? Go down in history, or put another perp to death?
The system is running scared. Fear runs the system. So the perp/actor will either be locked up or killed. Indeed, until the perp really understands who he is, he will be afraid, and the fearful can be vicious. Till the core issue is addressed, random actors will emerge as dangerous. Until innocence is revealed, the actors will act like criminals. Until sinlessness is fully understood, the "innocent" will consent to be harmed.
That said, you have not sinned. Understand that you are up against psychological premises that define sin and feel it as guilt. I have redefined "sin" as a seriouly insane notion blown way out of proportion. Sin is the denial of reality. Without any basis in reality, you will go mad, you will be mad, and you will get angry. Sin is to hold mistaken perceptions about the Son of God. Sin is a lack of love. The truth is that you ARE the Son of God, and have made the mistake of judging yourself guilty of a crime you never committed. We are dealing here with a "spell" cast upon an extremely powerful mind which calls for some good news to "dispell" it. You have not sinned. The idea that you have sinned is the ONE MISTAKE that leads to this entire world in which there appear to be many mistakes. All mistakes trace back to one mistake. That mistake conjures up an unreal world in place of reality. That is, when you deny who you are, this world is all that is left. It expresses the opposite of every attribute that defines the true Self.
If you take this world seriously, you will continue to entertain seriously insane notions about yourSelf, and about what you think you see. And you will not be able to be helpful. You do not understand what you are seeing because it is not understandable. And if you could understand how this world arises before your "sight", you would abandon it immediately. It is an ugly, decietful, painful and terrifying process.
The rapist is a symbol of crimes you believe you have committed, which have been dissociated, suppressed, and hidden by constantly shifting blame onto "others". If you condemn the rapist, you will continue to condemnn yourself, and keep this dark fantasy alive in your experience. The world symbolizes everything you secretly think about yourself. Blame the world and you blame yourself. Get it? Imprison anyone and you throw away the key to your own release.
Now I have revealed your innocence. Now you are empowered to make a choice. Imagine there is a potential rapist reading this thread. What if he learned to see things differently? What if he saw the chance to get what he really wants without violence? What then? Imagine that the rapist in question was in fact presented with this knowledge, dismissed it the way
hapaboy dismisses it, and chose to act out his scripts instead of breaking them? Can you see how
hapaboy's brand of ignore-ance serves only to perpetuate the scenarios he is interested in seeing? These scenarios serve to make him look innocent by comparison by keeping the core issues secret.
"Eye" means perception. The world is percieved in your mind. If you plucked out the whole concept of perception, the whole world would disappear from your sight, and your eyes would open to your reality instead. Reality abides in the realm of knowledge. Understand that the human eyeball sees nothing, quite literally. There is an interpretive switch that informs your brain what it is you think you see. In truth, there is no world. It is literally NOT THERE! You think it is. So does everyone else. There is no "everyone". There is only ONE, "seeing" through many eyeballs. How wicked is that? This is one badass "spell" upon your mind...
within your mind. It requires strength, and deliberate intent to "pluck it out". Perception is not natural to your native reality. "Sight" is the ability to use mind-power in a strange way. The only purpose perception can serve is to see strange, unreal things. Perception, then, serves to attack reality. Hence, the world is an attack on everything by everything.
The human eyeball is a
product of perception, and is designed to see only the strange as if it were "true". Basically, I'm talking about a kind of sorcery or black magic. You are using power in a strange way when you "see" this world and interact with it. It is not the human eyeball that is the problem. The eyeball is neutral. It is the thought-stream behind it that limits its vision to the eyeball, or limits its understanding to what the brain tells it...this is the problem. Solve this problem, and you will solve all your problems at once.
