* * * How do you know? Actually, I have been finding just that: that loving my particles unconditionally *does* "stop them from robbing again." Raunchy: It's like house training a puppy. Saying, "No! Bad dog" doesn't mean I don't love my dog unconditionally, it just means I'm correcting undesirable behavior. Otherwise, how would the miscreants of FFLife know that it's not O.K. to pee on the floor? * * * Hey, go for it, if you're enjoying yourself and you believe your actions are achieving the desired results; as you say, what I am speaking of does not really pertain to any specific recommendations of external action or inaction, as much as being the most effective way I have found to actually "show miscreants the light". > > > I generally find that ultimately, our healing of the soot-particles or > > demons we see "out there" rests in taking full responsibility for our > > universe and giving easy, loving awareness to these beings as they exist in > > our own attention-field, made up of our own consciousness.
