There is a balance between helping, with a view to making the world a better place, and not taking action, so that people have the opportunity – not the certainty - to grow and learn. This post reflects on that ‘nexus’, and a high publicity event where one person was seeking unashamed vengeance on another.

204.  Professionalism, fear of end of life and reading
Fear of dying can arise from a number of causes, not just a literal fear of the cessation of existence. This posts covers some of my thoughts on that, and the profound and unacceptable lack of professionalism involved in refusing to look at anything negative – or being uncomfortable in doing so.

193.  Being attacked psychically: a happier story ...
How I handled a situation of psychic attack – which, as I write this summation, reminds me of a more recent event where a friend and I went to see a film, and had some noisy louts sit beside us: when I projected light to them, they moved elsewhere (another example to keep in mind as you read Post No. 183.  Avoiding positive energy).
