Hello Fellow Travelers;
 
It is apparently a delicate thing to remain harmonious to the progression of "Source".  I have often wondered if we were ALL in perfect harmony to that progression irregardless of what our display in this realm is?  Who's to say that Ben Laden isn't in perfect harmony with what "Source" is up to?  I have heard so many times that the inner peace is the test as to whether you are in the "path" that you should be.  Is it possible that "Source" has deliberately displayed those of strife to reveal superior goodness?  Then those of strife were in perfect harmony with the overall plan - NO?  Who are we to even suggest that anyone is or isn't in alignment with the "plan" for their display? 
 
Comments?????
 
In Love,  Bill

Dear Bill,
Thank you for asking this question.  I will discuss it with the managers and whichever one is moved to answer will do so as soon as we can.  It is a good question which alot of people think about, but don't often ask.
 
Love in Light and Peace,
Winds of Change

Dear Bill,
I have been thinking about your question and here are my thoughts on it.  First, I believe that we were given the gift of freewill, so that we could choose to be in harmony with our God/Creator.  I believe that the original plan for us was that we choose to be in complete harmony with our God/Creator, but we were given the freedom of choice within ourselves to decided whether or not we wanted to live in the light of the love that is given to us freely, without any prejudice whatsoever.  I also believe that there are two sides to choose to be on.  I do believe that evil exists and is not squelched into oblivion so that we have the opportunity to choose which side we wish to be on.   I cannot judge Bin Laden's motives or if he truly believes he is in harmony with his creator and I can't judge whether or not he has chosen evil as his guide or good.  Each persons path is their own personal choice and we cannot know how a persons heart is inside until they have to face the consequences or blessings of their own choices.  We each have to take responsibility for our own path and our own peace within.  Yes, I do believe that we feel peaceful and at ease with ourselves when we are following our chosen path in the right direction.  I do not believe that any belief condones killing of another at any time without it being during wartime, which is debatable in many beliefs.  But as I have looked into the basics of many world beliefs, they all seem to lean more to love and respect rather than killing as the way to get attention.  As far as my personal path.  I believe that we have to get rid of the negatives in our feelings and our lives.  Feelings such as anger, hate, disrespect, prejudice and all other judgmental feelings are negative and only breed more negativity and make our lives centered on the negative rather than the positive which allows us to follow our paths and help others.  As we settle into our path of harmony with our creator, our lives seem to take on a new dimension and we find we suddenly can find the good in everything rather than thinking of the trying times in our lives as totally bad. 
 
As far as God/Creator choosing evil to be a part of our plan, I don't think so, but that is my opinion.  I still believe that it is our choice to decide if we want to be cruel and whatever else goes with it.  I believe that my God/Creator allows us to experience some things which seem so terrible at the time, but I feel that they are lessons for experience to let us know when we are experiencing the good and peace of the plan for us.  As we find out true path, we do not reach out to harm people, we reach out to love and embrace them.
 
Love in Light and Peace,
Winds of Change

Dear Bill, thank you for this question. It is one I often think about, too. 'Why are some people the way they are? Do we have a choice in being the kind of people we are?'
My feelings are: In God/Creator's plan, we are all on a path. Some are aware as others are not. Some seek God/Creator's light striving towards His love of fellow mankind.
Some are chosen, perhaps willingly if not unknowingly, to be the protagonist.... the thorn in the side of humanity.
I feel, too, we are placed in situations, sometimes harsh, where we either accept and make the most of it, using it to learn and better ourselves... or, only using it to condemn. Using the way our lives may not be what we selfishly think it should be and strike out at others.
I wonder, how many years did it take Mr. Bin Laden to become the hateful, selfish, jealous person he is?
Did he have an opportunity in early life to choose a path of love for mankind or was his heart carved in stone?
I think he made the choice himself.... perhaps God/Creator threw some curves through out this mans life, perhaps his path was intended as this outcome... one thing for certain, his actions united people in a major way.
I think we all are in God/Creators plan.....    how we deal with situations is our choice... Our life time is really not one intended of blissful total happiness, thus the saying... in everylife time, some rain must fall.
And finally, paths do cross, we are all linked in God/Creators scheme of things.
love and light, Real

Dear Bill,
 
It is apparently a delicate thing to remain harmonious to the progression of "Source".  I have often wondered if we were ALL in perfect harmony to that progression irregardless of what our display in this realm is? While I don't feel that this is a delicate thing to remain harmonious in the progression to Source/God/Creator, I feel we just have to stay in the Light, follow our Source given instincts through out lives, we all know what good and bad really are from childhood on.  I feel that we are the children of Source and he is very forgiving and patient, until we kill our fellow men, this changes things, we do not have the right to take the life of another and not really sure how the Source holds this since I have not talked directly to him, yet feel we have to do more to learn the consequences of our actions.  I feel we were all given free will as does Winds and many others.  Or you could look at cause and effect, you take lives you must learn now more about love and loving our fellow man, some souls choose to leave and not learn, yet this is what they must do, a good parent must teach their children right from wrong.  We shall have no peace on earth until these lost souls learn their lessons,,,yet through it all we have the love of our Source/God/Creator.  Who's to say that Ben Laden isn't in perfect harmony with what "Source" is up to? How can this be?  Maybe we are to learn something about hunger and hurting, about our neighbors all over the world, to join in and help them all the best ways that we can... it does not make sense that this would be "perfect harmony" in any way unless you are delusional or look at mankind through "cracked" glasses.  I am open for more discussion on this, I like to learn so this is not coming from a "closed" mind in any way...  I have heard so many times that the inner peace is the test as to whether you are in the "path" that you should be.Bill, in all the readings that I have had the privilege of doing, spirit has not once included this type of action with peace and being on your path, not once.  This is why I mentioned about looking at mankind or the world for that matter with cracked glasses.  Is it possible that "Source" has deliberately displayed those of strife to reveal superior goodness?  It makes no sense that Source would do this, what has been happening is due to the choices that mankind in all countries have made, then they have to live with their mistakes and go back and try again.. We are sent down here to learn, why would our Source control everything.. especially things like this... no way, this just is not setting with me, then as I have mentioned before, I am open for more discussion on this.. If we are smart and learn our lessons well, we will help, teach, love our neighbors all over the world, and be as patient as we can be.. and are lucky enough to see the goodness all around us. Then those of strife were in perfect harmony with the overall plan - NO? This makes no sense to me.. how can fear, murder, hate be any part of perfect harmony... unless you are looking through those old cracked glasses again... when I think of perfect harmony I think of the Dalai Lama, he is nothing like those that are/were doing these evil acts.  Who are we to even suggest that anyone is or isn't in alignment with the "plan" for their display?  What Plan Bill?  If this is a plan from above, then stop the World I want to get off !  I for one don't go around suggesting how people should live their lives.  I do on the other hand have comments to say when these miss guided individuals come into our country and "murder" our innocents, this was calculated and not of the Light in any way.  I would like to hear more about this plan that you mentioned.  I know the news media are the ones that we hear the most from, they need ratings and have said a lot of things that were not good, they went on and on, when this was not necessary.  My friends and family don't go on and on about this, we all are heart sick over it.
We all hurt for the Afghan's and their families as we do for the Iraq population being led by yet another person that feels it is okay to just take a life when ever he feels it is necessary... How are they part of a plan?  Please let me know about it.
 
Comments????? As you can see, I commented my way through your note already .  Thank you for the old brain exercises... 
 
Love, Light  & Peace to you,
Chatty
