OK, I'll drop my outrage and frustration and self-righteous condemnation here, as I describe the reasons for how a Goal Of Growth leads to affront of all those emotional reaction triggers and more . . . AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT AFFECTS THE AFFLICTED FRAGMENT . . . Dave was the first Michael Channel to effectively communicate to me the impact a character that cares ONLY for their own expansive outcomes can have on themselves and others.
Personally, I remember in EVERY lifetime, AND year, every month, and every hour when I went hungry AND was mistreated by other Dharma imprisoned inmates! I remember every time up hungry but couldn't eat because if i did, my family would have no food. I remember everytime I had to plant my food, and go to bed hungry, so that I MIGHT have food to eat if I made it to the fall. (You get the picture). Evidently some Essences are more sadistic than others, and no small few prefer to use hunger as an 'effective' goad to Growth!
I can remember close to 120 lives where I, or a member of my family, or someone my Essence owed however many "3-squares" went hungry or made me go hungry. Growth sucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
