are you a human death-eater or ange

yep those are our options, more like stages

 

we begin life like a human, you know those really cute warm cuddly things called children – we see the world as a reflection of the love and security we received at home, hence we are in love with everyone (this is how it hopefully should be)

 

then we encounter vicious dogs – being bitten by those suffering from low self-esteem called bullies, maliciously targeted, our love turns both to fear and anger, our anger turns both to hate and jealousy, for hate is the opposite of love – as love is a positive feeling, so is hate a negative feeling – so if you hate one person, eventually you become a death-eater – for as J.K. Rowling describes it, the job of the death-eater is to suck out all hope and happiness from others – you sees the person who has hate feels terrible, hence s/he becomes jealous of those who have love – this is why there is random cruelty in our world – for there is no other logical explanation why a bully or antisemite should exist

 

but ironically I believe, it is necessary to become an angel, for though being a death-eater is negative, ironically it is the flipside of being a human; for though the human may be loving, but that love was not a conscious choice – the child doesn’t think consciously – true our inner soul is Divine love – yet our outer consciousness is not – hence our feelings of love are more about “my emotional reaction” than my conscious choice – as this was not a conscious choice, so therefore it is precisely the same person, who first loved who becomes angry, then jealous of others love, then a death-eater ( whereas children who God-forbid never received love, as in Russian orphanages, actually simply disassociate, and not only don’t love people, they don’t hate them either – like autistic children, they have no language in common with people, for they have no reaction to them)

 

So to become an angel, you first need to lose you human status, which is composite of both the potential for love and the potential for hate – once you realize, you are equally as capable of being constructive as destructive, you can abhor such a identity; and as God told the first spiritual seeker Abraham: “if you wish to grow, you must shed your identities of the past, who you role modeled after (which of course is a subconscious process) your culture, as well as your very instincts!” – and as Chassidus explains even your positive ones! for as long as you are running on instinct, you are not conscious; and as long as you are not conscious, your negative instincts can simply turn you from fuzzy to evil
