I understand what you´re pointing at. I feel you´re dodging a little though, but as I said, I fully respect your choice of not stepping into the heart of the discussion I´m proposing. You surely have a reason for that and I acknowledge the possibility I might just not be ripe enough to fathom it.
All I´m saying though, is it should be expected that the more we approach the summit of the triangle - the more transparent a vehicle we become for The Spirit - the more should we behave like angels, guardians or protectors of our less developed brothers on the path, be it plant, human or animal life - with special regard for sentient life, for obvious reasons I believe (isn´t sentience what all relief, charity, human and animal rights institutions over the world are about after all?).
> the more transparent a vehicle we become for The Spirit - the more should we behave like angels
I have just been reading the intro of Shadows of Wolf Fire. And he deals quite well with this. He distinguishes the form of the teaching from the intelligence that manifests the teaching - as I have referenced in the Tarot discussion.
He expands that thought to include the confusion of form with Life.
I suggest that both are present in your proposition.
You have a thoughtform about angels that suggests you have yet to meet Khamuel - the avenging angel. He used a meat cleaver last time I saw him.
Life destroys forms in its drive to reveal Itself. Forms include beliefs and teachings.
Arjuna has this problem when called to destroy the forms of (kill) his relatives. Krishna replies: He who is united with me (Life) is as untouched by sin as a lotus leaf by water.
Thus as we become transparent to Spirit, Spirit takes responsibility for revealing itself including by destruction of forms.
Globally the human race is starting a period of destruction of forms - including many social and political structures. Spirit objects to being restricted by forms that have outlived their usefulness. Spirit finds limited value in forms.
Too bad you stopped the quote on ‘angels’. I meant that figuratively, of course, but it´s on me, I should have used quotes.
And I surely understand the function of the Mars force, that love controls manifestation and dissolution, but still, that´s not the point.
I mean, you can bring as many metaphysical data as you wish to support a personal choice (if that´s the case), but that will never do. We are talking about different subjects.
As I said before, we all should be able to live with the choices we make. No excuses needed. Now, though it looks like you are, I´m not saying that´s what you´re doing (once you may have reasons I wouldn´t understand), but my experience when debating this subject with other people is that they NEVER EVER have the guts to openly say, ‘I simply don´t care’ (except for the 7.7 people I know). The Voice tells them their choice is unethical, inner turmoil ensues. Then enter the trickster to save the day offering them all sorts of rationalizations so they can convince themselves it´s all fine.
Funny thing, in the end it is... Pretty human, I guess.
I used to feel a sharp emotional impact when I killed an ant - even accidentally. Now I rarely feel that.
When I go back to a typical event, the energy of the emotional prod was on both 6.1 and 6.2 - that is on the higher levels of the emotional plane.
As you may have detected as we develop we drop the lower subplane material so that we do not feel impacts on those subplanes - having nothing to resonate with the incoming impulse.
So I conclude that mostly the over-soul of the ants accepts my current actions - not that I go out of my way to oppress ants - but when there are too many on the kitchen bench I apologize to them and they get swept into the sink.
*I used to feel a sharp emotional impact when I killed an ant - even accidentally. Now I rarely feel that.
I mildly laughed when you said ‘even accidentally’.
It´s interesting you mention ants. I was intending to say something about them two, three posts ago. Just waiting for the right occasion to show up.
*As you may have detected as we develop we drop the lower subplane material so that we do not feel impacts on those subplanes - having nothing to resonate with the incoming impulse.
Positively. But along with that I detected the raising of an ability to act in the same way I would in similar situations, but for different, higher/nobler reasons. The Spirit keeps slapping my head down so I can avoid stepping on the ants when walking around. Sometimes it comes with an intense surge of energy/heat in the chest.
*but when there are too many on the kitchen bench I apologize to them and they get swept into the sink.
Maybe you could try a different approach next time it happens and see how it feels?
Anyway, now we talked about the same thing. I thank you for that and commend you for openly expressing your choice, paul.

You can in fact eat certain kinds of ants. I believe they have a lot of nutritional value.

A good way I like to see this is acceptance of our misdoings. We might not agree later in life with certain choices we made prior. We cannot change those actions though, and like most people we do the best with what we know. This is also my predestination discussion. Going back to that time of "wrong doing" you would still always make the same choices because those thoughts at that time dictated it. Only growing out of those old thoughts do we start to notice paths we "should" have taken. But this is how we learn and the next occurrence will for sure be different if those lessons were learned.
They may need forgiveness, but not excuses. Knowing you are doing your best with what you have will also help avoid the trickster trappings you mentioned.
