I searched for Don Quixote and found this, warms my heart!
It’s in the context of a recent idea to ponder: “The Greater Good as path toward the Heart Chakra” from a Law of One perspective. Okay, I promise to weave in something about the topic too, but like a lot of my recent pondering, it may be confusing.
The idea of The Greater Good can be dangerous. It is not far different than the idea of Perfect Justice, like a cowboy movie following the recipe where the good guy gets the bad guy and gets the girl. In the process, the cowboy acts lawlessly and often puts to death the bad guy(s). What’s not to love here? Well, from a Law of One perspective, taking a life is an ultimate form of Power over another, it is a hallmark of STS polarity. Such cowboy behavior basically glorifies the STS paradigm. So some degree of enthusiasm and idealism seems to factor.
Take another situation, a politician touts positive change and draws sufficient votes to attain a position of power and control consistent with an STS agenda. Sadly, some difference of opinion arises, diplomacy fails, the military is activated, bombs are dropped, people die - “the population reduces”, things go on like cowboys acting lawlessly, war crimes are committed, and after the dust settles, there’s the great idealistic justification, we did it for the Greater Good! Can you understand why this idea is dangerous? It seems piece of an STS manipulation tactic. Black and White thinking, like if you’re not with us, you’re against us.
The STS polarization is not illegitimate, it has existed for longer than the planet Earth came into being. Unfortunately, this choice of polarization retards the heart chakra development. Those that evolve into high density STS gradually grow ever more isolated and distanced from growth catalyst, they stagnate in a sort of guilded cage matrix difficult to liberate from. Apparently, the route to the heart is for them to toggle polarization to STO and like Ebenezer Scrooge at Christmas, miraculously become kind and generous.
In a way, following the path of The Greater Good might be like a quest, not so unlike Don Quixote; such quests can be full of pit-falls. Maybe a quest can become like a failed experiment, where initial enthusiasm and idealism become humbled into realism. Tilting at Windmills suggests the enemies are illusion, there is no Greater Bad to contrast The Greater Good. Because the universe isn’t black and white, it’s more panoramic color.
This might suggest another Law of One perspective, that the quest of The Greater Good becomes like silly chivalry beyond the creation of a good story. Humanity might be inseparably existing within a greater good already - by making observable the workings of The Law of One despite oblivious confusion that suggests nothing of that sort. It’s like a cosmic joke. Such notion might explain why the divine love of humanity is so immense. The Manifest Being as the Observable Law of One in all its glory! By contrast, the unmanifest being as associated to pain, may be related to denial of some basic reality at play.
As we grow toward self acceptance, toward self love, toward love of others, and maybe in some way found helpful, the realization of the heart may spring forth in ways unexpected, spontaneous, and joyfully - for those blessed to have polarized STO, and this can happen free of any pursuit of the Greater Good, or not.
