Another ref. in the above list gives this:
Q: (L) Okay, the ones in the quorum are those who are focused on service to others and they, in their pathway of service to others begin to understand that some service to self is service to others.
A: Close.
Q: (L) And the whole idea is to blend both pathways no matter which direction you come to it from?
And then from the most recent session:
(Joe) So the meeting that they're having, the decision that they're coming to will determine the future of Earth in a definitive way, or is it just another step?
A: Not as you suggest, no.
Q: (Gaby) It's more about the future of humanity...
(Joe) Or the future trajectory, or the next step in the...
A: There needs to be balance.
Q: (Joe) There needs to be balance, but they said there's not enough resistance from people, right?
(Chu) Yeah.
(Joe) And there's not enough resistance for balance. And there needs to be balance. So...
(L) They need to make more resistance.
(Joe) Well, these people aren't intending to produce more resistance. They're probably intending to create more control, but by trying to do that, they'll provoke more resistance.
A: Yes.
Q: (L) So the controls may get tighter.
(Joe) And then people will rebel more.
(L) Well, swell! There went my retirement!
(Joe) It's kind of funny how someone would want more control, but that to get there, and in trying to get more control, they're not aware that they're going to get more resistance.
(L) Yeah, well, isn't that what Mephistopheles said in Faust? You know, he who intends evil, but... something along the lines. Somebody find that quote from Faust. "He who intends evil but ends up doing good..." or whatever. ["I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good"].
It's not difficult to imagine someone on the 'dark side' gaining enough knowledge and awareness that they realize that by trying to manipulate and keep humans controlled forever, they are actually creating the conditions where more and more humans will become free forever of that control, and then thinking to themselves: 'what's the point?' And then being in a real conundrum as to what to do.
Like we've concluded here before now, the whole idea of STS really is a dead-end street, leading ultimately to 'non-existence' which doesn't exist, and it's surprising that more people don't realize that sooner.
Then again, I suppose you have to fairly far along in STS before you realize it's a dead-end street.
I mean, that realization as elucidated by Faust:
"I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good" would present a problem for any thinking person. If you decided that you're gonna "work evil" and then one day realize that your evil workings are actually achieving the opposite, wouldn't you start to think "why don't I just cut to the chase and work for good then?"
I wonder if the opposite applies, that those who will good end up doing evil. That idea does exist down here with the aphorism "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", but that's usually understood as being the result of lack of knowledge.
But if you had enough knowledge, perhaps you could avoid that trap and make sure your good workings never ended up doing evil.
It doesn't seem to be possible though in the opposite direction, no matter how much knowledge you have, you can't ever ensure that your evil workings will never do good. In fact, it seems they always will.
