“I’ve been quite confused recently. I want to take good care of a cat. Indeed, I have been taking care of him for more than three months, including the fact that he was bitten in the middle of the way. I have calmed down his body and saved him many times before and after
“But people say I’m too persistent and should let it go. But if it’s not happy, I feel dizzy and can’t be happy – because for some reasons, it was sent to another place for half a month, but it couldn’t go out for half a month. It used to play outside every day
“So I’m so confused that I don’t feel my power can come out. At the same time, I deeply feel that I am useless and can’t help it to be happy.
“I’ve been in this state of dizziness lately. But I don’t seem to have the courage to bring it back. Because now it can’t be allowed to go out and have no conditions. (there are conditions for it to live there, but no one takes care of it, so it is not allowed to live there.)
“So I am really too persistent, or should I follow this wish (the wish is to take care of it as much as possible, and take care of it more days) to satisfy it? I only remember that one afternoon a few days ago, my body suddenly became very bad. I felt that I especially wanted to see it. Then I didn’t care about the body heat, and even a little rain in the sky, especially when it was getting dark, I directly rushed out by motorcycle. After visiting it, I felt more secure and sang songs all the way home. When I got home, I didn’t feel hot anymore, and I took a picture of myself. My friend also said that I looked better. “
“Can you understand my confusion? Can you give me some advice? (even this morning, I have to fight to see it or to listen to Buddhist dharma lessons. I feel that listening to Buddhism can increase my wisdom and get rid of my persistence. I delayed for a long time and didn’t go out. Finally, I went again. But after listening to it, I still don’t know how to arrange my life. On the contrary, I feel that the power to set out to see it is not enough. I will go home and sleep until now……. When I was ready to go out to see it, I saw what you wrote. “

Cat is your concern, that is, your mind yearns for the Buddha Kingdom, isn’t it? Wisdom is the way to Buddhism, so is compassion. When you choose between wisdom and compassion, follow your heart’s yearning, which will lead you to the balance of wisdom and compassion. Yes, your left and right brains are in balance, when reason tells your right hand to be more powerful Would you like to lose your left hand
There is nothing that is not in wisdom. What is wisdom for? Let you have greater compassion and compassion beyond what you cherish. For example, put down the wisdom of Buddhism. What is compassion for? Higher mind and wisdom. When you are tolerant, understanding and empathetic, you are not only entering the world, but also expanding your greater empathy
In the greater empathy, there is no difference between cat and Buddha Dharma. They are both cells and molecules, consciousness and light. They are the manifestation of your higher self and ID. they are all part of you. Your left and right hands, your left and right brain, your wisdom and compassion. The Buddha Dharma is always there and can be supplemented at any time, but your cat and cat do not always have it. This is what you put down in the larger picture, and you can both To put down the cat in wisdom, because she / he has his own way to go
Cats are no different from human beings, and they have their own ascension, so you can also bless them in greater co-existence and convey their joy to them / her. Of course, obviously, your mood is not like this now. If you want to see him / her, go to see him / her, just understand that joy gives freedom to others, including all living beings, cats, plants and minerals, not just relatives
You are stepping into a greater self balance between the left and right brain, opening yourself up to the larger beings. There is no difference in the unity of all things. No matter whether it is Buddhism or cats, you will not regret or feel guilty about what you do. You will accept all your actions and results. This is the effect after you put it down

reply:
Why do you want to get together? Because the power of the collective is huge. Why? Because of the role of synchronization and amplification, which is the same as that of three-dimensional subconscious communication, and even more so in higher dimensions. So, not only synchronization, but also amplification. What is to put yourself in front of the public is also amplification. Once again, it enlarges your confusion, benefits all living beings, but also benefits itself There will be a higher vibration frequency, in order to carry low frequency, this is the benefit of the mind
More expression and dissemination, put yourself in front of the public, it will strengthen your thoughts, enlarge your emotions, let you observe all the thoughts in the subtle, called subtle, that is where high vibrational frequency comes from, bloom your throat and intelligent expression, no matter what it is, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, understand that will strengthen your thoughts, expand your consciousness, and enhance your vibrational frequency

if you can respect someone else’s feelings, and someone else as a Being of Source, you don’t have to agree with the conclusions they come to in order to connect with that person in a very real way.
That is how you are all going to get past the current set of circumstances on your world, and you are going to become stronger as one human race, because of the efforts of a minority. You, the awakened collective, are that minority.
Secret Forces that Want Humanity Divided ∞The 9D Arcturian Council, Channeled by Daniel Scranton
“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We have been impressed by humanity’s fortitude in the face of so many oppressors throughout your history. You have continued to persevere in the face of powerful individuals and groups who want to keep you down, who want to keep you in the dark. Now, many who are awake have learned about this oppression that is going on from unseen forces, oppression that doesn’t even show its face to you. But you have learned about these oppressors, and you have gotten angry, sad and afraid, because of what they have done and because of what they might do next.
These beings and groups benefit from you being and feeling divided, pushing against each other, based on your beliefs, your gender, your sexuality, your skin color, your nationality, and any other factor they can use to keep humankind from realizing that you are powerful, powerful beings of love and light. It is their goal to have you feeling disempowered and then to put all of your faith in something outside of you, like a politician, or a political party. They don’t even care which one you support, as long as you think the other party is the root of all evil.
It has gotten to the point now where you cannot trust the sources of information that your parents and grandparents trusted. And so, you have to rely upon fringe elements, people who make all kinds of claims about who they are and what they know, but even these sources have become tainted and are clearly seeking more divisiveness, more of an us-versus-them mentality. You, as the awakened collective, must be able to see the good in everyone, no matter what they believe, no matter whom they are supporting. You must give everyone the opportunity to show you who they really are and not just dismiss them because of which political party or ideology they are aligning themselves with in the moment.
It is important to remember that you are all in this together, and we are all in this together, and what you are playing out now on your world is simply a rehashing of what has been played out throughout the galaxy many, many times. You did not create this issue of being polarized and divided all by yourselves. This was a planned part of your spiritual evolution, and it was known beforehand that there would be enough of you who are awake to rise above the polarization of humankind by these unseen beings and groups. And we say ‘beings’ because we know that they are not all human, and so do most of you.
So what does all of this mean for you, the one receiving this message? It means we are urging you to love your neighbor, no matter what. Love them unconditionally, and you will bring out the best of them. Hate them because of how they vote or how they worship Source, and you are more likely to experience the worst of not necessarily that individual that lives next door to you, but someone who is like them in some way.
We know that those of you who are awake can bring out the best in each other by sitting down with your fellow humans and talking about how you feel about what’s going on in your world. And if you can respect someone else’s feelings, and someone else as a Being of Source, you don’t have to agree with the conclusions they come to in order to connect with that person in a very real way. That is how you are all going to get past the current set of circumstances on your world, and you are going to become stronger as one human race, because of the efforts of a minority. You, the awakened collective, are that minority.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

We want you to know that you are not doing it all by yourselves, even though you are creating one hundred percent of your reality. You are doing it with a support staff, with a whole team of assistants, and with an entourage in the nonphysical.
Our Chats with You in the Astral Plane ∞The 9D Arcturian Council, Channeled by Daniel Scranton
“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.
We are sitting here upon our nonphysical perch in the ninth dimension, looking for ways to relate to all of you and what you are going through there on planet Earth, and that is why our little chats with you in the astral plane are so valuable to us. Not only do you get to visit the customer service department in the sky and unload the burden of the weight that you carry, but we get to have somewhat of an understanding of what you are going through and how it feels to you to go through it.
We have developed the skill of being very attentive listeners. It was a big part of our spiritual practice when we were incarnate and communicating with each other and others. We developed the skill of listening to not only what someone was saying to us, but also to what they were not saying.
We want you to know that if you have something to say to us, if you have requests that you would like to make, we will always be listening attentively, with compassion, and with a desire to be of service. Being of service is what helps us to feel that we have a purpose for existing. We get to expand because of all that you are living and all that you are asking for, and so it makes perfect sense then that we give to you whatever we can, energetically, and in cases like this, through words of wisdom that we can share.
If you talk to us on a regular basis, we will speak back to you through the universe. We will find a way, just as we are always searching for new ways to help humankind. We want you to know that. We want you to know that you are not doing it all by yourselves, even though you are creating one hundred percent of your reality. You are doing it with a support staff, with a whole team of assistants, and with an entourage in the nonphysical.
We want you to know that all of us understand how hard it is to be on planet Earth at this time, and we want you to feel the support that you need to keep going, to keep living, and to keep ascending. And we want you to know that we do have a good chuckle about it in the astral plane while you are asleep at night. Set that intention, as you are drifting off to sleep, to remember those interactions upon waking, and then the you that exists in the physical body can have a chuckle about it as well.
We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

The Ascension Papers
Chapter 10. What is Evil?
“There is not a single thing that is either good or evil, but that you feel that way about it.”
Zingdad: Hi 8.
8: Hello my dear friend. What are we going to talk about today?
Z: Gee, 8, I was going to ask you that.
8: Consider it open mic night at Club 8 (he smiles). You choose the subject.
Z: Well, there is something that has been on my mind a bit. It is the matter of “evil”.
You and J-D have both stated that everyone creates their own reality. You have made the case that everyone, through their choices, creates all the things that have happened in their lives. Even the bad things. But that has got me wondering… does this mean there is no such thing as evil? And if there is such a thing… what exactly is it?
8: Ah, yes. A very interesting question. Do you want the short answer or the long answer?
Z: I guess shorter is probably better…
8: All right then. The short answer is:
“If there is such a thing as evil, then it is an opportunity to learn about love.”
Z: That’s it?!? 8: Yes. That’s it.
Z: No no no no no no no no. You don’t understand. I’m talking about evil here. I’m talking about things such as people who are willing to commit genocide – murdering whole populations of other people for the sake of power or wealth or political expediency. I’m talking about terrorists who have no regard for the sanctity of life. And people who would commit rape. People who would abuse children and babies. You know? That’s what I’m asking about. Real evil. And what about demons? Are there really such beings? And is there really such a thing as demonic possession? I want to know all of it. And while we are at it, I want to know if there is such a being as Lucifer. You know… Satan… The Devil… him. Does he really exist? That is what I want to know about. Once and for all, I want to know about all that dark stuff so I can figure out what to do about it. And please, 8… you can’t be wanting to tell me that it’s all just an opportunity to “learn about love”! Surely? If you had incarnated on Earth you’d know that there is some really, really atrocious stuff going on down here!
8: Ah. I see. So apparently you want the long answer then.
Z: The long answer?
8: I just said that the short answer is, “If there is such a thing as evil, then it is an opportunity to learn about love”. That doesn’t seem to please you. So we’ll do the long answer instead. It will be, by far, our longest conversation yet. It will wend its way past numerous fascinating points and then eventually arrive at the same end-point as the short answer: “If there is such a thing as evil, then it is an opportunity to learn about love.” And then, when we have arrived at that point, you will want to know more about love itself. And so that will be our next chapter: “What is Love?”
Z: You seem pretty sure about all this.
8: I’ve seen this discussion from many perspectives. I know what to expect.
So now. It seems to me that you want us to address two basic questions. First, “What is evil?” Second, “How should one respond to the presence of evil?” And, finally, you want to know about this little list of horrors that you have come up with. We will deal with that under the heading, “Manifestations of evil.”
How does that sound?
Z: Thank you, 8. That sounds right.
8: Okay then, let’s get started. Question 1:
What is Evil?
We need to agree on a definition for evil before we can properly discuss it. Otherwise we might have different things in mind and all manner of misapprehensions might creep in.
Z: I agree.
8: Good. Then how do you feel about this definition for evil:
“Evil is any action, which seems to take away a being’s right to choose.”
Z: Umm. Well… I don’t know about that. That doesn’t seem quite right. That seems… a bit… lame.
8: Lame? You clearly have not given this due consideration! I’ll explain this to you, but in order to do so, I need you to name three actions that you would consider to be evil.
Z: Three evil actions? All right. How about rape, murder and theft?
8: That will do very well for the purposes of this example. Let’s start with rape.
Let’s say we have two people: Person A and Person B. They are both adults of sober mind and in full possession of all their faculties. They are also strangers to one another and have had no previous dealings whatsoever.
Z: Right.
8: Now, if Person A were to approach Person B, and say something like, “I’d really like to have sex with you; would you like to have sex with me too?” would that be evil?
Z: Err… no.
Somewhat forward.
And probably not the most successful strategy I’ve ever heard of.
But it’s not evil.
8: Good. And then, if person B, said, “No thank you,” and the two of them went their separate ways, would that be evil?
Z: No, obviously not.
8: And what if person A said, “Yes, sure,” and they actually did have sex?
Z: Then they’d both be very, very easy (laughs).
8: I concede (he smiles). But still this isn’t actually evil?
Z: Not in any way that I can see. Two consenting adults, who know what they want, agreeing to have sex? That’s not evil. It’s not my style to have sex with strangers and I personally can think of all kinds of reasons why it’s a bad idea. But that’s me. If there are two people out there agreeing to it, then that’s their stuff. But it’s certainly not evil.
8: Now let’s see what happens when we remove the element of choice from one of the participants in the equation. Now Person A approaches person B and offers person B no choice whatsoever but simply coerces person B, by force or threat, into non-consensual sex. Is that evil?
Z: That’s rape. And yes, I very much do think that’s evil.
8: Well then, that is my point exactly. It isn’t the act that is evil. It is the fact of someone feeling that their choices have been taken away. That is what is evil.
Z: Ah yes. I do see your point.
8: And the exact same case can be made with every single other act that you might try to define as evil. To further illustrate my point, let us look at another of the actions that you named: murder.
What if Person A approached Person B and said, “Would you like me to terminate your connection with your body?”
And Person B replies, “Yes, please.” What then?
Z: Hmm. That would be weird.
I suppose, at a push, I can envisage a circumstance where this could happen. If Person B, for example, is terminally ill and suffering unbearable pain and Person A, out of a feeling of compassion, offers to help Person B to die. This sort of thing does happen sometimes. It’s called assisted suicide.
8: In the culture you currently inhabit there are many taboos around death and dying which spring from the powerful illusion that death is final. That it is your end. There have been other cultures on your planet that have known that death is simply a transition. Like going to sleep before again waking up. Like breathing out before again breathing in. This view is the predominant view in more advanced cultures on other planets too. It is a more beneficial perspective, as it allows you to be less rigid and fearful around the notion of death. And in such cultures, if it happens that a being comes to a place where they feel that their path is best served by their departure from the mortal plane, then that being might find a way to leave on their own, or they might be assisted to go. Their passing might even be ritualised into a grand celebration where some “holy person” is responsible for the termination of the body connection. Such things would seem abominable to most in your culture but only because your context is mostly one of a desperate fear of death. From the context of such other civilisations it can be a beautiful and glorious thing.
Z: That’s most interesting, 8. I can see how that might be.
8: But this is not how it is in your culture. Choosing to terminate your connection with your body is seldom seen as an acceptable choice in your culture, is it?
Z: No it really isn’t. In fact suicide is actually considered to be a crime in many countries. I’ve always thought that to be odd. I mean how are you going to punish the “criminal” who has just killed himself? But anyhow, as a result of this taboo, assisted suicide is one of those legal and ethical morasses. In some countries it is legally permissible and in others it isn’t. And there certainly are ethical considerations that need to be addressed.
8: Are there really? Well you go ahead and address them all you like. For myself, I am quite clear on what I hold to be right. In this regard, as in all others, my position is this:
Your Right to Choose
Whoever you are, whatever the situation, I believe in your right to choose for yourself.
I believe it is your job to know best what is right for you. And no-one should therefore take from you your right to choose.
If you feel you need advice or guidance in making any choice, then those whom you hold to be the wisest and best informed may be asked to assist you in making your choice. And these ones have the right to agree to assist you, to refuse to assist you, or to ask for fair compensation for assisting you. If they agree to assist you, then they must take responsibility for their assistance.
If you are somehow incapacitated and are therefore not in a position to be able to choose, then those whom you love most must choose for you and must take responsibility for their choice.
If you are somehow incapacitated and you find that you cannot enact the choices you have made for yourself, then you have the right to ask someone whom you consider competent to assist you in enacting that choice. And that person has the right to agree to assist you, to refuse to assist you, or to ask for fair compensation for assisting you. And they must take responsibility for the assistance they have rendered.
And that is what is right for me. And I have no doubt that this is right for me because, quite simply, this is what I want for myself now and would want for myself if I were ever incarnated in a system such as yours. In every situation I would always want to be able to choose for myself. I would never want to be at the mercy of some system – legal or otherwise – to decide what is best for me. What does a legal system care about me? What does it know of my unique situation and my experiences? Nothing. Legal systems and the like should be the final fallback position for when all else fails, not the first point of reference.
Z: What you say seems right and valid to me. I agree with this. Thank you, 8.
8: I’m glad you find value here. But the original point of this intellectual perambulation was actually to address the issue of death when there is choice involved. If you are offered the choice to have someone terminate your life and you have the absolute right to accept the offer or to reject it… then…
Z:… then I agree, this is not evil. I stand with you on this one. And I also say that I would always want the right to choose for myself. And I would therefore want to grant others that same right to choose. This is not evil. This is moral and right. That is my position too.
8: And everyone else can decide for themselves?
Z: Yes. Of course they have their own choices to make. As long as their choices do not take from me my right to choose for myself.
8: Hmm… yes… choices. You see the beauty of it? If we are saying that taking away the right to choose is evil, then offering someone more and more choices is… what?
Z: Well, if taking someone’s right to choose away is evil, then offering someone more choices would be the opposite of evil.
8: That is a good answer.
Z: But what is the opposite of evil? Love?
8: It is hard to answer this question because, from my perspective, evil is a temporary, illusory experience and Love is a very powerful, very real, eternally valid force. I’d say love is certainly the correct response to evil. Love is that which quenches evil. But is it the opposite of evil? No.
The closest thing I can name as the opposite of evil would have to be “choice” or perhaps “creation”.
Z: Okay. It was just a point of curiosity anyway.
8: Let’s move on then and finish this little section of the discussion with
the final point. You named theft as the third evil act. So let’s look at this. How would it be if Person A were to ask Person B, “May I have your television set and your hi-fi, please?”
There is surely nothing evil about that?
Z: I wouldn’t think so. If Person A agrees to Person B’s request, then it is a gift that is given. That’s not evil, that’s just generosity. And if Person A said, “No,” and Person B accepted that and went on his way, then there is also no harm done.
8: That’s right. And we can play this out with as many more examples of what you might call evil behaviours as you like. The bottom line will always be that evil is only perceived to be done when choice seems to be removed. Put the choice back in and there is no evil.
Z: I see that, thanks 8. And thanks for your patience with the explanation too. I can certainly see your perspective that evil is the removal of the right to choose. But I’m not sure that’s the whole of the story. I mean… what about a different definition like, “evil is the desire to cause another great harm” or “evil is harm for its own sake” or something like that?
8: I understand your desire to frame evil in terms of something “wrong” like “causing harm” but the problem is that such a definition just doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. If I desire to cause you harm but instead of just doing it to you, I first ask you and you agree to it then…
Z: Well then I guess, it’s just like all of your examples above. If I agree to it, then it isn’t evil. If I have the right to say “no”, and you respect that, then obviously…
Okay. If there is a hole in your argument, then I really can’t see it. I accept your definition, “evil is the removal of the other’s right to choose.”
8: Okay, good. Except you missed something. I said:
“Evil is any action, which seems to take away a being’s right to choose.”
That part about “seems to” is very important. What it means is that I cannot really take your right to choose away. No one can do that. Not really. But you and I can agree to create the illusion thereof for ourselves.
Z: Ah, yes. By now I have had enough exposure to these concepts to see where this is going. It’s the whole victim/perpetrator thing again, isn’t it? I cannot truly be your victim. I can only have the illusion that I am.
8: Now you’re getting it.
Z: And in the previous chapter you said that uncertainty was what presented us with choices. You said that these choices were creation and growth and life. You said that when there is absolute certainty then there are no more choices and therefore no more life. And since we are all a part of the ONE and none of us can be destroyed, that is not possible. So, in conclusion, if it is true that I cannot ever have absolute certainty then, in the same way, it must also be true that you cannot actually ever take away my right to choose!
8: Good! And so you see how all of the concepts tie in together – how they all interrelate and form one consistent, congruent whole?
Such is the nature of truth that you were asking me about in Chapter 8.
Z: I begin to feel that now.
8: Excellent. And that feeling is your truth. That feeling of rightness when everything adds up and is in balance and harmony in your being… that is your truth saying “yes”. You stumbled on this one a few times. You previously confused your ego-desires and your excitement with your truth. And it was necessary that you did this. You needed to see that mistake and learn from it. And then you made a new choice to always find your heart’s truth and to honour and respect that. And so, here we are now. Now you are really finding your own truth inside yourself. It is that feeling of everything being right within yourself.
Z: I’ve got it, 8. Thank you. But we’ve gotten a little off track.
8: Not really. We’ll come back to this realisation about “your truth” in a little while. For now, we have just discovered that no-one can truly take away your right to choose. But we can, of course, share an illusion in which I can seem to take from you your right to choose.
Z: So then evil is an illusory thing?
8: This is my perspective, yes. It is something that you can, within this
reality you currently inhabit, seem to experience. It can seem very real to you. But it is still just an illusion. Let me tell you a truth about good and evil. It goes like this:
“There is not a single thing that is either good or evil, but that you feel that way about it.”
