Where there are judgments, the spirit is lacking... :)
All of the things you mention, can be turned to service of the light.
Osho tells a story of a Zen monk who used to enlighten people with wild
acts.. he once pushed a student out of a second story window, then jumped
on him and said "Do you get it?" The student did!
You are being intolerant of intolerance.. is that Spirit? Goddess does
not judge..
I used to be a Pro-Dom.. bondage, torture and humiliation, consensual
intense power plays, and K. awakening my clients was the side effect that
led me to retire..
Everything is made of love, so how can there be a lack of it?
Lack of empathy, sometimes I wish!! It is excessive empathy that
drives me to aggression, most often. Empathy with someone who is wallowing
in self pity makes me want to B*tch slap them into anger, instead.. anger
is at least active, motivating.. they will get up and do something, instead
of whining. Better pissed off, than pitiful. So long as they don't "go
postal". All things in moderation.
Good heavens, if people were not pissed off at the Holocaust, we
probably would not have the Human Rights movement.. everything has purpose.

What if it is not flawed? Human + Nature.. Kundalini makes you more
human, closer to nature.. blessedly human, wonderfully natural. Sure it is
slowly changing, everything evolves.. as Goddess Wills.
Nature.. human nature.. evolution... Natural selection..

"Darwin Awards celebrate the theory of evolution by commemorating the
remains of those who improved our gene pool by removing themselves from it
in really stupid ways."
I've spent the day contemplating "Natural selection in action" and the
current power situation in California. Why? My sweetie works for BC Hydro,
the provincial power resource.. last summer BC Hydro shipped $300 million
worth of electricity to California, to run their air conditioners!!! ..
expecting to be able to buy it back this winter, when we need heat to keep
from freezing. BC Hydro was not paid, and cannot buy it back.. but is
shipping more power to California, out of compassion. Sorry to our
Californian members, but this kind of excessive and wasteful consumption of
resources, has got to stop! California is getting a wake up call like a
hard slap upside the head, and I see clearly the necessity for it.
2 days before George Bush was elected, Goddess told me he would win,
and why: because sometimes things have to get worse before they get better,
and he would be the one to make things worse.. and lately I am getting
some really ugly insights about how much much worse things have to get, to
alter the attitudes of several generations of TV fed Westerners programmed
to conspicuous consumption, disposable society, with economics that do not
factor in the long term costs.. buy now, pay later.. Karma can be a B*tch.
Sigh.. I've never been a big fan of the prophets of Armageddon, from
Gopi Krishna to Nostradamus... I've had my own share of such visions, but I
prefer to hold a higher faith and not succumb to fear of the future.
I'm not afraid, but what I am "seeing" lately is "Darwin awards" on such
a massive scale it makes me want to head for the hills... get as far north
of the 49th parallell as I can.. The Witches are getting smarter, not
gonna hang around for the hunt.. smart like rats fleeing a sinking ship.
Goddess has it handled, yup... tonight I was telling druid some things
I have not ever mentioned to him before, or to anyone.. because I did not
want to give the visions any energy... but they have gotten too powerful to
ignore.
For years I have noticed some "survivalist" aspects to Goddess'
design for the Mansion Project, but I preferred not to think about it too
much. After all, I reasoned, self sufficiency is common sense for an
isolated community.. The voice responds: "uh-huh.. and exactly why does it
have to be so isolated?" The answers come in and I see Goddess won't allow
me to hang onto my naive innocence anymore. So much for the rose colored
glasses.. Natural selection isn't very pretty, but it is the way of
Nature... and humans are not exempt.
Blessings...
