Ya know I resonated with your words. Most often than not I wonder what my purpose is here on this planet, in this black woman's body. What is it that I am to "teach" by being a positive example? I often think will my example be enough to impact souls as they walk their individual paths? Karma, souls, "know thyself and to thyself BE TRUE." Does this me only serve the purpose of my ego self or others?
There is one war being fought on two battlefields.
One battlefield is the War Within --- which is Self struggling against Ego. If you do not Know Self, not only might you be unwittingly fighting with the enemy, you might also be leading others to fight with the enemy.
The enemy is Ego.
The second battlefield is the War Without --- the cosmic struggle between the sons of Darkness and the sons of Light which all holy books, be they the bible or the Bhagavad Gita or the Book of Coming Forth Into Light, talk about. The sons of Light are those who have won the War Within. The sons of Darkness are everybody else.
The enemy on this second battlefield is also Ego, not Whites, nor shapeshifting aliens.
Darkness is not race, it is not the color black, it is allegory for ignorance --- as when we say someone is in the dark about something when they do not understand.
Light is not race, it is not the color white, it is allegory for wisdom --- as when we say someone sees the Light when they do understand.
