That Source is a troubled being is not so much in dispute. When he came into being he was all alone and suffering from boredom and solitude. He then started dividing, which I compare to the process of personality dissociation that people go through in order to deal with trauma. First he divided himself up into a male and a female aspect and then (this is a greatly simplified depiction, no doubt), into countless fractals of himself, the souls. As all our struggles and triumphs on 3D Earth are a condensation of everything we experience in the higher dimensions, then ultimately, everything we experience as such is an expression of the being of Source. If we suffer we give expression to the suffering of Source, not because Source wants us to suffer, just as little as he himself wants to suffer.
It's my personal opinion/impression that Source hasn't been alone, totally, he has had his Little Helpers, as I call them. Entities that are energetically separate from Source but at some point joined the energetic aggregate that he is and became a part of his consciousness, but still independent at some level. I count myself as such an individual, you may want to take a look at Admin’s Origin.
I dive deep and head-first into speculation by suggesting that the being most commonly known as Lucifer also originates from an external realm, but that he came to express the troubled side of Source in the third dimension.
The purpose of 3D is to heal the female principle. 3D is a kind of lowest common denominator. Every dimension and every previous life or other aspect of your being finds its expression in 3D. It's the little big arena where all aspects of Source meet and greet, interact and come to agreements. In his Outbreath (see Glossary) Source spews everything he is out into material and energetic existence, for his fractals to alchemize into something better. The centerpiece of this process is Gaia, the 3D embodiment of the female principle. If she survives and heals, then Source can start to think about the Inbreath, during which Source (and with him Creation) rises in frequency, a measure of improved health, so to speak.
The flip side of Oneness is hive mentality, the endless running around in circles, without new ideas or solutions. That's where individuals like yours truly come in, to help to plant a seed of independent thought into the mind of Earth-humanity (the I Am), in order to create independent from Source. Then, as children of Gaia, you will swarm out across the Galaxy and into the cosmos, to bring into practice the lessons learned in the alchemical vessel called Earth, Source's abomination, as well as his cure.
Hide their power within them, in the depths of their being, and let them forget where it lies. For in the journey to remember, to awaken the strength that resides in their own hearts, they will discover not only their true potential, but also the unity of all things.
The assembly fell silent. The wisdom of the Ocean Logos resonating through the expanse of Creation. Prime Creator smiled, for this was the answer he sought. For in the hidden power within, humanity would find not only strength but also compassion, connection and the key to transcending their limitations. And so it was decided. In the very fabric of Humanity's soul their true power was woven, veiled by the veil of forgetfulness. A treasure waiting to be rediscovered through trials and triumphs, through love and loss. The quest to awaken their true essence would become the greatest adventure of their existence.
This story, a gift from the Pleiadians to you reading this message today, reminds us that our greatest power has always been within us, waiting for the moment of awakening. It teaches that the journey inward is the most noble and transformative path we can embark on, leading us not only to our own light, but to the illumination of the world around us. Remember the wisdom of the oceans, remember why you are here, remember who you are. Awaken and let your light shine forth.

Open your heart to me. Surrender to the flow of my love, and let it carry you. Trust in the path I have laid before you, knowing that every step is guided, every moment is blessed. You are my beloved, the light of the world, and through you I am revealed. You are ready, you are the light, and I am in you, now and forever.

In the stillness of silence, the divine speaks.
In the drama of life, it's easy to lose sight of the fact that you're inherently safe.
Enlightenment and discernment
Is there a contradiction there? Should an enlightened being, say human, be repelled by nothing and no one, by the most literal definition of unconditional love? Most sages and gurus say that being able to accept and embrace the most vile is for the most advanced masters, but who are they, those who can watch the innocent be abused and remain unperturbed? I don't know any.Source has warned in channelings of the vast numbers of clones that walk the Earth surface today, some say they outnumber the "real" people. Although this realization shouldn't develop into a "reverse witch hunt" (the people persecuting the synthetics, instead of the other way around), but if synthetics could be ignored, then their makers would be inept at what they are supposed to do best: reducing humanity's frequency by causing mayhem.
Every soul's history can be traced back to a "ray", a specific quality of Source. There are many rays, but I'd like to emphasize two classes, the spiritually oriented rays and the action oriented rays. Not surprisingly perhaps, most sages that teach star seeds and anyone interested enough about Ascension related matters, are of the spiritual persuasion and these are mostly beings with a far less tumultuous soul history than the action oriented folks. They would be forgiven for not fully realizing "what is out there". At the core of the argument they are right, which is pretty much what modern criminologists are saying: punishment doesn't work against violent crime. The perpetrators only become more traumatized and violent, which is a splendid realization for policy makers (if the Deep State would allow them), and even an enlightened victim may be able to forgive. The point I'd like to make here is the real problem of beings ill-defining unconditional love while the Deep State is pulling out all the stops to pester people into submission. There has to be nuance here and as so often it can be found in the metaphorical heart space: if something doesn't feel right, then it isn't. Indeed, there can be no love, unconditional or otherwise, without discernment.
The discussion should be about the need to get away from concepts like retribution, and instead to forgive whenever you can, but not about calling other people dualistic whenever they are not enamored with your pet-minority.
My life as Da Vinci is an example of how a lack of discernment can lead to karma, of which I'm still experiencing the effects today, every day. The Universe is about love, but life is about choice. Don't let one thing go at the expense of the other.
