People Doing Good vs People Doing Bad
Louis brought up this idea for a topic last week, and listener Deborah sent in her perspective on the topic. We picked it up and ran with it from there. Deborah wrote: Firstly I would say there are no good or bad people per se just people doing “good” or “bad” things although this is also a question of interpretation; how you would define good or bad, in this instance I would look towards the person’s intentions as to whether they mean to harm or do good unto another. From an “Abrahamster” perspective I suppose you could say that you can only create in your own reality, and if you’re seeing another in terms of lack & intending to do good by helping them you are in fact taking away their power, you should hold them in your mind as whole and healthy & fulfilled and connected to source. In this regard if you’re wanting to “do good” in what we could term a charitable way, seeing one as lesser than another in some way, we are in fact doing them a disservice by taking away their power and so could be seen as doing them harm. If someone is doing bad & their intention is to harm I guess ultimately the only person they are harming is themselves, as you can’t create in another’s reality. But by focusing on negativity they are doing themselves a great disservice. As Abraham might say; the effects of the actions of one who is very much not connected to source are meagre & paltry compared to one who is, so I guess if the “harmee” were connected to source the effects of the “harmer’s” actions would bounce right off them. My understanding is that the best service you can be to others & to the world is to maintain your highest possible vibration & that this in and of itself will be of major benefit to all. (By the way you mentioned people who are DOING good & people that ARE bad. Don’t know if this is a question of semantics & you just meant people trying to do good & people intending to do harm unto others?). LOVED the discussion today, some very helpful pointers thank you both! My attention was very much caught by your “opinion about not having an opinion” – I can very much see how judging something as good or bad creates drama & problems, how important it is to be in acceptance of where we’re currently at and not judge situations as bad. However surely we all have opinions on things ? This doesn’t inherently mean that we label others who don’t share those opinions as wrong & can’t be open or flexible. I don’t listen live, (I live in the UK and get up at 5am) & in the morning listen to the podcast, so I didn’t directly help manifest the following (although if time is just a mental construct maybe I did! ), but when you were talking about not having opinions I was thinking of the very subject you proposed to talk about next week; vaccines. Certainly especially in this current situation I can see that it’s CRUCIAL not to be defined by your opinions or try to persuade others who hold a different point of view as I see how divisive & corrosive that would be & we aren’t defined by our opinions they’re ultimately just thought forms that come and go BUT we do all have them. Do you mean that we shouldn’t have attachment to our opinions, or that we shouldn’t label things as good or bad OR that we shouldn’t even hold an opinion? If that makes any sense!
