World conflicts and the soul
QUESTION: Masters, you have told us that “good” and “bad” are human judgments which are peripheral to the soul in its incarnation journey. Does that mean that our unconditionally loving eternal soul may correctly choose, if it likes, to absolve itself from interest, involvement, or concern for others involved in the carnage in the current Gaza conflict?
ANSWER: You are correct: on a soul level we do not judge things to be good or bad. That does not mean that your soul while incarnate on the planet cannot sense the energy of society in judging things thusly. But it also means that a soul has the choice not to get involved in things outside its lesson plan. Such a non-interactive choice is not to be confused with refusing to be concerned or absolving oneself from any blame for not jumping into the fray.
The soul cannot have the full human experience unless it has an aspect of self that is ego based. If the soul remained completely bathed in unconditional love it could experience nothing. Some of the lessons that a soul chooses to learn deal with an interaction in the physical and emotional traumas impacting people around them. However, many soul lessons involve only the soul’s personal interactions with those around them.
When the soul lesson involves a larger group of players, this may lead to an investiture of time and funds to support one side or another in a conflict, actively protesting the actions of one group, or even diving physically into the conflict on behalf of one party. These must be the tests along the soul’s path or they become a diversion and will slow down the soul’s journey to wisdom. Some souls become so involved in this fashion they do not face the challenges they came to Earth to complete.
Remember, each soul makes its own choices. One soul cannot make choices for another. To get entwined in a conflict, speak out about it, or protest the actions of a group, may be part of a lesson in self-worth, or a recognition of your own power, or a refusal to be controlled by another, or even the experience of getting sucked up in a group hysteria.
Whatever the true reason for a soul’s activity, the worth may be evaluated by going inside and asking, “Why am I doing this? What do I seek to gain myself out of this action?” If the answer has to do with a lesson or emotion you are trying to understand, it is part of your journey. If the answer is to “show” those people, examine your motives because you are mirroring something you need to face about yourself.
