I have this feeling that this question can only really be answered after you experience the Truth in a full blown, outside-time-and-space, good old fashioned revelation! Maybe when you get that this is a dream and the only point of it is to wake up you realise that you can do what you want because when its all over the entire thing dissapears anyway. This doesnt mean that the laws of cause and effect the dream works on no longer affect you, so if you steal a load of money the obvious will happen and you will most likely end up in jail (or maybe there is some difference when you are the one who knows because its not your hell created by the ego enymore, its just a dream and it doesnt matter).
Most people would find this morally repugnant and actually as condoning terrible acts. I just don't think that anybody who gets the truth that it is all them would ever hurt themselves though. Who knows, maybe the One Mind is a masachist...it seems that way anyway sometimes lol.
I always wonder about whether certain rappers and celebrities know the truth and are just living out their "happy dream" as the course puts it. Pharrell William's band N*E*R*D stands for No-one Ever Really Dies, which is very similar to the philosphical realisation that there is no death you get when you learn the Truth and take a step out of the cave as Plato would put it. Jay-Z wrote a song called beach chair, the lyrics go like this... My physical's a shell
So when I say farewell
My soul will find a even
Higher plane to dwell
So fly you shall
So have no fear, just know that
Life is but a beach chair
and also... Life is but a dream
Can't mimic my life
I'm the thinnest cut slice
Intercut, the winner's cup
But winter's rough enough
To interrupt life
That's why I'm both
Saint & sinner (nice)
This is Jay everyday
No compromise
No compass comes with this life
Just eyes
So to map it out
You must look inside
Sure books can guide you
But your heart defines you
Chica
The Corazón is what brought us home
In great shape like Heidi Klum
Maricon, I am on
Permanent Vaca
Life is but a beach chair
This song is like a Hallmark card
Until you reach here
So till she's here
And she's declared
The heir
I will prepare
A blueprint for you to print
A map for you to get back
A guide for your eyes
And so you won't lose scent
I'll make a stink for you to think
I ink these verses full of prose
So you won't get coned out of 2 cent
My last will and testament I leave my heir
My share of Roc-A-Fella Records and a shiny new beach chair
Notice the reference to non-duality in being both the "saint and sinner" simultaneously. Also, the whole idea of a map to get back which obviously refers getting back to your True Self so you can sit on the beach (Beach Chair meaning happy dream as ACIM would put it).
I'm certainly not condoning any behaviour that hurts another person but maybe things arent as serious as they appear to be here. I still think the effect of hurting another person is that you hurt yourself in some way so I don't advise it at all. Maybe there is a way to be a darkworker and give to yourself selfishly without the laws of Karma effecting you if you are highly conscious and beyond the ego entirely i.e. you KNOW it is a dream. Service just seems a much better path to Truth because selfishlness may only work when you know the Truth completely (if it ever works at all).
Any Darkworkers who are living in paradise please stand up...
