OF THE
TIMES
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

Here are two examples culled from my training:
In an ancient space opera society, a very able being (in a doll body), attends a show in a large theater. He becomes insulted by a joke in the show about his kind. He reacts by sending the huge central chandelier down on the audience below. This only serves to feed the zeal of the "meat body" attendees in eliminating doll-body beings from their society. The result is that the society is overrun by an enemy because doll-body beings are far superior to meat-body beings at running space ships.
On a planet being terraformed, a visiting free being becomes interested in some of the animals who are living there. In an attempt to learn more about some of the animals, he "blankets" them. But this results in their death. As they die, he feels a terrific intention from them to make him feel guilty for what he just did.
The above are two "whole track" examples of a failure of empathy. However, with the benefit of hindsight, and other research, it has been found that what caused these shortcomings basically added up to ignorance.
In the first example, the people in meat bodies had forgotten what using a doll body was like, even though they had all used doll bodies at various times in the past. They didn't understand the doll body being at all, and this made them fearful of such beings. The doll body being made no attempt to correct the situation, because he didn't realize that when you take a meat body you tend to forget your past lives.
In the second example, the free being is unaware that the animals are animated by spiritual entities like himself. He thought they were just little machines. The counter-intention he felt was from those beings, but it was not intelligible enough for him to recognize his mistake.
Over the centuries, thought patterns based on false data (lies, errors) such as those illustrated above, have been programmed into people. This programming shows up in the genetics, leading our scientists (who really should know better) to explain these behavior patterns as inherited and/or selected for and therefore essentially biological or chemical. This is a false assumption. A being is capable of changing his own genetics, or even those of another, through the exercise of intention. Intention is senior to mechanics. Part of our programming is designed to hide this truth from us.
The lecturer's empathy scale runs from zero to six. Without any programming, we would all be sixes. Where we end up on the scale depends on how much of the programming has been triggered into chronic (or momentary) action.
Our road out requires that we, in general, reduce our ignorance about this whole process. Individually, we must each confront those times when we acted out of ignorance and so harmed others, and forgive ourselves for those actions. There is still a lot of ignorance to handle on this planet. I hope we are successful.
