From Metatron: No, All People Are Not Basically Good

The past six months has been a tremendous period of resolution and clarity.  And it’s led to some values conflicts.  It’s become clear that Dad was right in some respects – not everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt. 

A couple people I’ve had to let go completely this year – they proved themselves beyond any doubt to be completely toxic and untrustworthy toward me.  And this turned out to be a positive – I could cut them off completely energetically.  But I also had to face the part of me that gives people the benefit of the doubt and admit that approach is wrong. 

Some people can be good around me and toxic around others; some people can be good around others and hopelessly toxic around me; some people are all-around bad people; and some people are all-around good people. And as far as I’m concerned, the people who are hopelessly toxic around me and the people who are all-around bad people should be treated exactly the same. 

And this is actually a difficult realization to make.  Especially since I’m responsible for the initial schism.  But ultimately I’m not responsible for the ensuing choices they’ve made that have resulted in their becoming hopelessly toxic in my energy space (and quite possibly everywhere else in their lives as well).

I asked Metatron about this today. His answer:  “Seeing things with complete clarity means giving up sentimental attachments to certain values concepts.  ‘All people are basically good’ is a distortion, and one that was created out of self-interest. From an extended time frame, this concept begins to more closely correlate with reality, but even when extended out infinitely through time is still a distortion.

“Over the span of a lifetime, this notion is far from truth; over less than that span, the notion is patently false.  In this present moment, which is the only moment that matters, there are thousands of people on just your own planet who are considerably more evil than good.  Their lives are inherently valuable, but their efforts have been a tremendous disservice. 

“It is not your job to concern yourself with saving people who are being destructive.  It is your job to see clearly what is going on and take decisive action for the greater good.  This means letting go of the foolish notion that ‘all people are basically good’ and protecting yourself from people who are clearly not serving the greater good.

“As far as your own guilt, that is your distortion and delusion.  Nobody makes somebody into a destructive force.  That concept is actually a mind control method to ensure the person acting in a destructive manner remains a destructive force.  The moment one releases responsibility for their condition, they lose their ability to change their condition.  Assuming false responsibility for others in the form of guilt only completes the circuit and ensures both parties remain in a destructive energetic cycle.  You can look around and see the destruction such a circuit is causing in the world.

“The appropriate response then is to recognize the destructive energy, remove any connection with it, and seal off completely.  Don’t engage with it.  Everyone has their journey.  You had your periods when your energy was very destructive, and you moved through those periods.  You have to disengage to allow others to do the same.

“Look at everyone and everything as it is, not as you wish it were.  Look at your energy, thoughts, and actions as they are, tend to your own blocks and distortions. Look at the energy and actions of others and engage or disengage as appropriate.  Do not judge nor justify, simply notice and act decisively.

“Things will begin moving much more quickly and you are being called upon to decide and act.  The time for idealism, sentimental attachments, guilt, fear and self-pity is long past.  You need to grow up and assume your full responsibility.  That means full disengagement from destructive energies in your thoughts, actions and energy, and full disengagement from any notions that would encourage you to maintain connection at any level. 

“Hold the greater good in your heart at all times.  Decide, act, and keep moving.  Follow your heart and let everything else go.”
