I think it is such an important question, and (Jane)the thread title still fits in a way!? Like how hard do we have to fight to prevent the corporate take over of our water? How responsible is each individual? I guess ultimately we all have to be accountable to our own consciences, and according to Theosophy, when we cross over the threshhold, we will have to face up to each descision we have made through all of the purification processes of the spirit worlds. Even passion for the 'right thing' is a sympathy that will have to be worked through and let go of. I think farmers have a very special relationship with will forces, and are really some of the most significant spiritual leaders of our time. I'm only a farmer's wife, so I can say that. So, as a biodynamic farmer who is working in such a hands on way, I know we (Chris and I) are constanly struggling with these questions. Like, why do WE have to work so hard and grow all of this good food for our customers, so they can be healthier to do more shopping, world traveling, etc...I don't want to pretend that we don't have our low points, But then our spirits are always rekindled by a kind word, a butterfly, stirring some preps or whatever. ...those beautiful full moons And it is soooo easy to pawn off responsibility onto a spiritual faith, Christianity is a perfect example, Jesus will come again, and take care of it all. What challenging concepts! Christy
