I'm glad we are friends. :-) This will be a very long and positive comment so I urge all to expand and read it.
"This was the first step, knowing that things must change"
Awareness is always the first step, both individually for personal growth and collectively for systemic growth.
"You do not have to build an army"
True and what sparked my comment yesterday (https://marcus17043.medium.com/jodie-i-could-have-highlighted-almost-every-word-of-the-aas-message-a496acb67ede ) which had been lava-doming already was when I read about anti-Christian nationalist / anti-fascist groups arming and training like militia. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/john-brown-gun-club-armed-anti-fascist-1234733200/ I don't blame them. I get it. I might even approve. It also scares the shit out of me and why I felt it necessary, with a tone you did not appreciate, to talk about a humanity-wide dark night of the soul. The youtube interview that I referred to is only partly about that. It's very interesting and anyone who feels spiritual yet questions their religion would benefit from watching it. The rabbi speaks highly of the mystics of all religions https://youtu.be/thPeX3oZeVM and how “perennial wisdom” of mystics is a unifying force.
"Do not fight hate and fear with more hate and fear"
Martin Luther King was probably in contact, knowingly or not, with AAs
"Question everything. Do not trust blindly"
This goes for us and the AAs too. And God. Not that they are likely wrong. But questioning them leads to great conversations. One of my not incarnated spirit guides I equate with God and we have conversations that sometimes lead to Rama changing a preconceived notion about me. https://medium.com/illumination/god-loves-us-unconditionally-45c54c297e52
"Hitler was by no means the last of the crazies"
No and he was maybe not free will run amok. Perhaps his soul agreed to play devil and millions of souls agreed to have short lives to show all of humanity what needs to change but not enough saw. Perhaps that’s because The Shift did not occur until 11 years ago.
