Fanaticism/Mass Event

[Mark M]

Seth pointed out in Mass Events that believing that the ends justify the means is fanaticism and fanaticism is to be avoided.

He also emphasized such as near the end of "The God Concept" chapter in The Seth Material, as I recall, that violence is never justified.

On Friday, Feb 4, 2022, the National Committee of a major US political party declared that a violent and deadly mass event of a year and a month ago was "legitimate political discourse."

That is fanaticism and rather green lights such future actions, though probably in their minds only for white people.

And I note that the other major US political party, while, arguably, less fanatical, does much bad also.

And so your point is what?

Mark, we've emailed extensively about how I want to keep politics off the forum, even politics disguised as Seth discussion, and despite that you've been heading in that direction. I take that as a sign of a lack of respect for me and the forum.

I realize politics is very important to you, at that you are a socialist and equally dislike other political parties, but there are other places for that.

The point is calling a spade a spade. This is fanaticism and significant.

"So those of you who speak on my behalf, let there be times of boisterous activity. Let there be play. Let there even be time for discord if that is what is needed, but never, and I know you would not, never impose an artificial ceiling of peace. For peace is active."

But take the post down if you cannot bear it.

No, leave it, thanks. I just want to make myself clear.
