Lowering Resistance

Good positive thoughts Jill.

"Thoughts are things and a small drop of ink produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think." Lord Byron.

I also liked Rick's post on sin and ignorance. Rick often says a lot with few words. "That definition seems a bit nebulous for me. I think ignorance might often lead to sin, but that it is also possible to be ignorant and not sin. My own definition of sin is that which results in something that is not for the greatest good of all concerned. That puts it in the same class that separates the Lights from the Darks. The Lights are for unity with the Father and with All. The Darks separate themselves from the Father and the All. Of course this all depends on which definition you use for ignorance too. If you go by my dictionary, then you are talking about someone who lacks knowledge or is unaware. That is not a sin, in and of itself. But if you mean one who selfishly ignores knowledge, to get what he wants, now there's a sin. Those that become Dark Brothers are neither unknowledgeable nor unawares, they just think they can get away with ignoring the Truth. S.I.N. = Selfish Independent Notions."

Question:

Can we enter the path of high resistance and control our words and actions so the resistance we create will not be so dangerous? How can we minimize the danger of high resistance so we do not get thrown to the lions again?

It seems that everyone agrees that we can direct energies so we can more safely handle high resistance.

Dave made some good observations here:

"I think you are doing a lot of that right now. In your teachings, I've noticed that everything you've taught leads up to a new teaching in the future. You've taken specific steps to prepare our minds for upcoming truth that we could be resistant to. It seems that while you've taken the path of highest resistance, you've managed to use your method of teaching to reduce the effects of that path. Also, you wrote a book that could quite potentially bring serious ramifications upon yourself. However, by making a story of it, and writing it as fiction, you've reduced (quite a lot, probably) those ramifications."

The wrong way to handle high resistance is illustrated almost every night on TV on various crime shows. What happens is the lead character finds out who the bad guy is and says something like this:

"I was going through the records and discovered that you embezzled a million dollars. I am going to call the police now."

"So what does the bad guy do? He can't let him call the police so he arranges a suicide for the guy."

If the good guy was smart (which he never is on TV) he would say nothing to the bad guy (ignorant guy) about his discovery and speak to the police first, not last.

Now here are examples of possible high resistance situations. What would you do to keep resistance low if you were in charge?

(1) You are a member of Congress and are in charge of creating a program that would alter our revenue system and would eliminate the IRS. The people in the IRS are alarmed at the idea and are making subtle threats to audit the dickens out of anyone having a hand in this. How do you lower their existence, but still get the job done?

(2) You discover your boss is stealing from the company. What do you do to avoid you boss getting back at you?

(3) An angel appears to you and tells you to teach the principle of reincarnation to religious people who do not believe in it. How do you lower their resistance so they will listen?

(4) Your company is having a cash flow problem and the only way to make cuts is in wages. You can let some people go or cut wages. You know that there are about 10% of the employees who are old timers who will have very hurt feelings if you touch their income or let them go. How do you handle this?

(5) You have a lover who is not working out for you and have decided you must let him/her go even though he/she still loves you. You know that he/she will be extremely upset and resistant. How do you lower resistance here?

Some may say that pure love (or some type of enlightenment) eliminates resistance but nothing you can do will eliminate all resistance in the above. If even Christ, the teacher of us all, was unable to eliminate resistance, what makes us think we can?

Fortunately with the help of the incoming Aquarian energies we can lower resistance to a manageable level. This will be the goal of the current group of servers.
