Theos-Talk Archives (March 2003 Message tt00231)

Hi. I don't believe you are going to be able to sort things out in the way
you are attempting to do so, and whether or not it is possible to sort
things out in this way would be an appropriate subject of enquiry. I
personally do not see much difference between you, President Bush, and the
persons who are posting racist sounding material. Also, I do not believe
you are encouraging people to think, except mechanically, which is a
reaction. More comments, below.

WRY: Not always. Sometimes, a lot, too much, but not always.

WRY: You seem to be saying you are interested in universal brotherhood.
Would you like to have an enquiry into this specifically HOW to achieve
this?

WRY: The question is whether or not we can CONSCIOUSLY DO anything or if it
is just an emotional reaction that fuels us. I will start off with one
question to you, which I hope you will answer. Do you believe Bush to be
ignorant? Please answer. This is not a trick questions, but a reasonable
beginning of an enquiry and we can go on from here. It could help us begin
to understand what do do about "Bush" and how to do it.

WRY: It is sad the way things are and how hard it is to change them. I have
found with myself that is is so easy to get angry and blame someone else,
but so hard to feel sorrow.

WRY: Of course it is worthwhile to encourage people to think, if it is real
reason with active correlation and not just a further reaction with blocked-
out material and inappropriate correlations, based on erroneous conclusions
and mechanical emotional triggers. Regarding the above sentence, I do not
understand your reasoning and how you link the two concepts in it together
by use of the word since. Please explain. Sincerely, Wry
