Since we haven't gotten much response to my last question I thought I would post [assign] Part 2 of chapter Five.
[See "The Reappearance of the Christ - Chapter V - The Teachings of the Christ; I. The Establishing of Right Human Relations" by Alice A. Bailey.]
There is a lot of meat in this section. Let us start the ball rolling with this quote:
"Acquiescence has in it the element of an understanding intelligence, and this marks a great step forward. Both admit the fact of a divine over-shadowing will in the life of mankind today; both are preparatory to a recognition of Christ's work in bringing about right human relations. At present, the submission of mankind to the divine will is a negative submission; the true submission is a positive attitude of spiritual expectancy, leading eventually to a positive acquiescence."
Question:
Many have a black and white view that all submission to God is wrong and diminishes individuality, but here DK [Djwhal Khul] tells us there is a positive and negative submission or acquiescence.
What is the difference?
"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber."
