Turin,
Agree with what you said. I read in your words my very own view...which is, whatever the FI is its not negative. But it is useful to see it as a-part. It may seem to contradict Buddhism to view an "other" but in this case I feel the other is merely a tool for our own awakening and we are meant to have the valuable vantage point to aid us. In Jewish belief I heard that the devil is viewed as working for God, that they are both aware of this situation and why they are doing what they do. Ok, simplistic way to put it, but it explains the feeling.
Another way of looking at it...which goes back to my original sort of, is that a negative is an illusion, thus we need not consider it part of anything (so not us), but still we fight to overcome illusions (ignorance).
Sounds like you are stepping more and more into your power...and I know you have been for some time. Awesome, lady!
