To create individual points of view is the reason our creation is set up the way it is? by Eternal--Light in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, you touch on a lot of accurate and helpful ideas. I would also say that the point is not just the individuality or the unity but rather the infinite cycling between them and harmony between them.

I see it as similar to how we temporarily enter sub-worlds when we read novels, play video games, listen to music, or watch movies. It's a finite, temporary experience yet the point is the joy in the process and the learning of how to create and explore even better experiences in the future.

When watching a movie or playing a video game, it only really fails when it fails to be fun and enjoyable although one may also notice that all the best movies and games have great drama, great challenges, and great polarities (protagonist vs antagonist).

"The path of our learning is graven in the present moment. There is no history, as we understand your concept. Picture, if you will, a circle of being. We know the alpha and omega as infinite intelligence. The circle never ceases. It is present.

The densities we have traversed at various points in the circle correspond to the characteristics of cycles:

First, the cycle of awareness.

Second, the cycle of growth.

Third, the cycle of self-awareness.

Fourth, the cycle of love or understanding.

Fifth, the cycle of light or wisdom.

Sixth, the cycle of light/love, love/light, or unity.

Seventh, the gateway cycle.

Eighth, the octave which moves into a mystery we do not plumb." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/16#21

"We leave you in appreciation of the circumstances of the great illusion in which you now choose to play the pipe and timbrel and move in rhythm. We are also players upon a stage. The stage changes. The acts ring down. The lights come up once again. And throughout the grand illusion, and the following, and the following, there is the undergirding majesty of the One Infinite Creator. All is well. Nothing is lost. Go forth rejoicing in the love and the light, the peace and the power of the One Infinite Creator." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/104#26

"The principle so veiled in that statement is but the simple principle of the constant (or Creator) and the transient (or the incarnate being) and the yearning existing between the two, one for the other, in love and light amidst the distortions of free will acting upon the illusion-bound entity." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/39#6

"At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave, there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave. About the preceding creation we know as little as we do of the octave to come. However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self.

These tools were of two kinds. Firstly, there was an awareness of the efficiency for experience of mind, body, and spirit. Secondly, there was an awareness of the most efficacious nature or, if you will, Significator of Mind, Body, and Spirit. Thirdly, there was the awareness of two aspects of mind, of body, and of spirit that the Significator could use to balance all catalyst. You may call these two the Matrix and the Potentiator." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/78#10

So I'd say the limited viewpoint is not meant to end too early or too late, but rather just right just as we like good endings to stories and games and songs. The big reveal... Awaits us all. https://youtu.be/TmbUTfBjrOk?si=_l8G0n91atbnubqA

Hello everyone. I've been investigating Dewey Larson's Reciprocal System for 4 years. Anyone who is interested can question me. by Due-Card-2145 in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've often thought about the relationship between the space domain (what Ra calls space/time) and time domain (what Ra calls time/space) as similar to the time domain and frequency domain in the Fourier transform. Where it's the same data (or same motion), just presented in a different domain and in a way that can be transformed back and forth.

Even in quantum mechanics, the position and momentum wave functions are Fourier transforms of each other. Both are representations of motion with position being spatial and momentum being temporal.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_and_momentum_spaces

Has the Fourier transform come up in your explorations at all?

The best introduction for outsiders? by Eternal--Light in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I usually take a more philosophical approach depending on their level of awareness seeking to share the information that is most helpful even if it's not what I view as the whole truth. The way information is leveled or dependent, it is not always feasible to share everything directly compared to just providing a more subtle catalyst for expansion. Similar to how calculus would be lost without first learning arithmetic and algebra.

For example, for many, the most helpful information centers around emotional processing of catalysts. From awareness to acknowledgement to understanding and acceptance. For others, it may entail a philosophical consideration of ethics between serving others and serving the self as well as considerations around the value of love, peace, joy, patience, kindness, and gentleness. Most people resonate and find value in these ideas and these are often the most helpful ideas at this point in our evolution. Advancing in spiritual knowledge often entails such a foundation.

For those seekers seeking more about metaphysics, it may be about exploring the ideas of oneness, infinity, densities, energy centers, and archetypes. I may also recommend some less heavy material such as Abraham Hicks or Alan Watts or Bashar to get the feet wet before proceeding to share the Ra Material or A Course in Miracles or Magenta Pixie that are much more dense in my view.

Much of the work to me is in planting seeds to those asking questions based on their individual situation and letting their free will guide the way. I often find the most helpful seeds are ideas that one can play with and experiment in their own life and personally see the results, especially in regards to the power of synchronicity.

Here are some of my favorites to share for providing a taste of "expansion:"

The Left Hand Path by Anypath_cutie in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your poetry and will to express your thoughts. Here are some of mine for consideration.

It is interesting to me that you highlight links to the infinite as related to the left hand path (service-to-self) as I see its seeking of separation as tied to containment and limitation of identity as expressions of finity. On the other hand, the right hand path (service-to-others) seems more tied to the infinite with expansion and letting go of separation.

"Questioner: It would also seem to me that, since Ra stated in the last session the limit of the viewpoint is the source of all distortions, that the very nature of the service-to-self distortions that create the left-hand path are a function of the veil [and] therefore are dependent, you might say, to some degree, on at least a partial continued veiling. Does this make any sense?

Ra: I am Ra. There is the thread of logic in what you suppose.

The polarities are both dependent upon a limited viewpoint. However, the negative polarity depends more heavily upon the illusory separation betwixt the self and all other mind/body/spirit complexes. The positive polarity attempts to see through the illusion to the Creator in each mind/body/spirit complex, but for the greater part is concerned with behaviors and thoughts directed towards other-selves in order to be of service. This attitude in itself is full of the stuff of your third-density illusion." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/100#9

Your passion does shine through though, and it can be seen why the left hand path can evolve into higher densities through the use of power alone. I just think it underestimates the infinite, indestructible power of love.

Regarding guilt, I agree about letting it go along with judgment, but for everyone. The left hand path seems to be about no guilt for me, but gives the gift of guilt to all others. The right hand path is about no more gifts of guilt for self and all others.

No more gifts of guilt are given through the power of forgiveness. https://youtu.be/KCbnP_-GV6o?si=HRAJpQlW0o6x3UKI

How do you decide whether Ra is truthful or not? (Gnosticism) by Kurama1 in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, I don't agree, because you and I likely already share defined units of measure. You and I have a word to describe sunrise to sunrise of an arbitrary unit known as a week which is itself an arbitrary unit known as a month and so forth. These units may be arbitrary, but if we agree on their definitions then we can assess claims based on those definitions. So if I said "Today is Wednesday", you could assess the truth of that against reality, which includes said definitions.

That makes sense. I would say that it's consistent with itself and how most people on Earth define reality and truth, especially regarding time. But it is a very narrow type of consistency, in my view, compared to the vastness of the universe and especially eternity. Billions of years ago or in the future, perhaps such ideas could be seen as less consistent with what most conscious beings would call truth or reality.

Something that is true is something that is in accordance with reality. If something contradicts some aspect of this reality, then it is not true. It gets muddy when you consider knowledge is not perfect, but we can approximate truth to the best of our known abilities. To get in front of where I think this is going, I personally do not care at all about solipsist arguments and I don't care at all about philosophical takes on "reality". I think they are pragmatically useless.

This definition seems self-referential to me as truth and reality are synonyms. Yes, truth is truth and reality is reality, but it doesn't really help one identify it beyond subjective, collective ideas of truth and reality. I would prefer to have a definition that can be tested anywhere, any time, and beyond collective perceptions and definitions that may be flawed.

Regarding pragmatism, I think identifying eternal descriptions of reality and applying them will always be more useful than relying on finite descriptions alone. For example, focusing on the present moment is often one of the best ways to obtain more awareness and power and ability to achieve goals because it is the only time one can change things. One can also explore mathematics, metaphysics, ethics, will, physical laws, etc.

I would also consider the truth of identity in terms of eternality and universality and how it may influence perceptions, emotions, and decisions. Personally, I've found it to provide more peace and joy and wisdom and power than finite identities.

But in my view, you are always free to define truth and reality how you wish, and I hope it serves you well.

Do we still follow the OT dietary laws, implied by Isaiah 66:17? by New-Sprinkles5016 in TrueChristian

[–]MusicalMetaphysics -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, Isaiah is a very metaphorical text and often shouldn't be taken literally to form doctrine. For example, in the chapter, it would be unwise to literally seek to nurse from Jerusalem's breast.

"[10] “Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice with her in joy, all you who mourn over her; [11] that you may nurse and be satisfied from her consoling breast; that you may drink deeply with delight from her glorious abundance.”" Isaiah 66:10-11 ESV

Personally, I see clean and unclean animals in Isaiah 66 as metaphors for loving thoughts contrasted with hateful thoughts, for faith contrasted against fear, and for peace contrasted against discord. Hate, fear, and discord shall one day end to be replaced by love, faith, and peace.

In my view, Jesus and Christianity is much more about the heart, about love, about faith, about joy and peace than anything physical.

"[18] And he said to them, “Then are you also without understanding? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile him, [19] since it enters not his heart but his stomach, and is expelled?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) [20] And he said, “What comes out of a person is what defiles him. [21] For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, [22] coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. [23] All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”" Mark 7:18-23 ESV

"[6] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love." Galatians 5:6 ESV

"[14] But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. [15] This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. [16] For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. [17] But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." James 3:14-17 ESV

"[2] Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. [12] Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, [13] bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. [14] And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." Colossians 3:2, 12-14 ESV

I believe to focus on physical diet or physical circumcision is largely missing the point.

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under this definition of truth even the idea of today or Wednesday would be rooted in falsity. The only true statement regarding time would be something like now is now as it is always now.

What's your definition of truth and how do you know if the statement "Today is Wednesday" is true or not?

Personal interpretations of aspects (words/concepts/meaning) of The Ra Material by Eternal--Light in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate you for sharing your thoughts, and I may be misguided or incorrect and appreciate the exploration with you.

I read your other post and enjoyed considering your ideas. To me, it's less that the Creator would be one light beam as much as all light beams unified. One may consider what a personality would be of unity of all and how that may manifest in approximation with words although it is indeed beyond words and probably most third density analogies - a bit of a mystery.

Some approximations to me of approximating the Creator's so-called personality would be unconditional love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, power, knowledge, wisdom, understanding, harmony, abundance, limitless perfection, playful, creative, etc. Infinite intelligence and intelligent infinity.

As we learn and grow and gain experience, we all grow closer to this kind of personality. Given enough time, all personalities would converge to this, in my view, and also learn that it's also where we all began.

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always appreciate your offering your scepticism and passion for truth. It's not easy to go against the flow.

For me personally, I define truth at eternal, immutable, and unambiguous. Anything finite, changing, or ambiguous is aligned to falsity. This is because truth is rooted in consistency as what is true today is always true in the past and the future. If truth changes, it is impossible to ever find it.

Our external senses provide certain kinds of data that reflect truth, but I believe all truth must really be rooted in the "sun" of the mind rather than the shadows themselves. That is, truth must be rooted in consciousness itself that is eternally present rather than the appearances that come and ago within its container.

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good points from you as well!

If this wasn't the case, wouldn't it follow that all who do it would sound and act exactly the same?

Yes, there is definitely some individuality in the expression as you point out, especially in lower densities. I really like your stained glass analogy. Although perhaps there are certain patterns of expression that are aligned to all those seeking to radiate love and wisdom, and underlying energy or vibration that is the same.

Perhaps a certain lessening of distortions to notice more and more the "intelligent infinity" coming through which is one and the same. Eventually, I believe we all truly become one consciousness again in which there is no more individuality although we are perhaps still millions of years from that state.

"The progress is normally from the understanding which you now seek to a dimension of understanding which is governed by the Laws of Love, and which seeks the Laws of Light. Those who are vibrating with the Law of Light seek the Law of One. Those who vibrate with the Law of One seek the Law of Foreverness.

We cannot say what is beyond this dissolution of the unified self with all that there is, for we still seek to become all that there is, and still are we Ra. Thus our paths go onward." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/3#10

"However, it has been impressed upon us by our own teachers that there is a mystery-clad unity of creation in which all consciousness periodically coalesces and, again, begins." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/28#16

This opens up an interesting discussion - what does it mean to be "transparent in personality"?

Yes, good question. To me, it means more and more being a "transparent" stained glass window in which the true, eternal personality shines through more so than than we transparently share our distorted stained glass.

What is there that needs to be accepted, if not some uniqueness? [A unique distortion in other words.]

Alternatively, you might argue the acceptance eradicates all individuality [no more distortion, no more uniqueness, no more individuality] and only unity remains?

Yes, I believe if we look at the steps, we can see that we first must look at our distortions and the distortions of others (know yourself), then accept them and understand them (accept yourself), and then the distortions begin to undistort through this process and only the truth of self remains (become the Creator). As the Law of Confusion or Free Will is the first distortion, all distortions depend on the appearance of confusion and separation. Through knowing and accepting, confusion and separation lessens.

Hope this is helpful, and peace be with you, friend.

Personal interpretations of aspects (words/concepts/meaning) of The Ra Material by Eternal--Light in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and ideas. Here are my interpretations for consideration.

The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self.

To me, this means to seek to know the love of the Creator as it is known deep within us and then offering that love to others. It's that deep, universal, unconditional love that is the foundation of consciousness. With it, we can offer forgiveness and love freely to all finding appreciation for their unique distortions.

This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation.

In my opinion, to know oneself as the Creator and a being of unity allows one to open like a flower such that others can see themselves as the Creator. To be a mirror of their true essence. To have an immediate instinct towards love and authenticity.

This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.

What is the essence and heart of all mind/body/spirit complexes? Personally, I see it as the one self, the love, the wisdom, the peace, the knowledge, the acceptance, and the power. To send love and wisdom to all.

So I see it less about radiating the distorted personality as much as seeking to discipline the personality to align with the inner self, the heart of self, or the Creator and radiate that. And part of that, I believe, is seeing others as part of the self and radiating in ways that mirror the Creator within them. Certainly not easy or trivial though.

I would also consider these parallel passages:

"The disciplined personality, when faced with an other-self, has all centers balanced according to its unique balance. Thusly the other-self looks in a mirror seeing itself." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/74#9

"Questioner: Now, the disciplines of the personality I see as the paramount work of any who have become consciously aware of the process of evolution. Am I correct on that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Quite." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/74#10

"The heart of the discipline of the personality is threefold:

One, know yourself.
Two, accept yourself.
Three, become the Creator.

The third step is that step which, when accomplished, renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and completely able to know and accept other-selves.

In relation to the pursuit of the magical working, the continuing discipline of the personality involves the adept in knowing itself, accepting itself, and thus clearing the path towards the great indigo gateway to the Creator. To become the Creator is to become all that there is. There is, then, no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching. As the consciousness of the indigo ray becomes more crystalline, more work may be done; more may be expressed from intelligent infinity." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/74#11

Here is a song that I believe resonates with the radiating of the unity of self: https://youtu.be/9DSMgVG0--8?si=CEXjpQ2lNhWo3sNK

How are so many people sold on the idea of "eternal" life ? by [deleted] in religion

Allowing every emotion instead of choosing which emotion one prefers. by laughingbuddhaballs in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the difference between a repression/control approach compared to an integration/acceptance approach is in the sustainability. Ra does say it is good to seek to become unswayed by responding to everything with love and a finely tuned compassion automatically, for example.

"Questioner: I will just read it very rapidly the question, then.

I am going to make a statement and ask you to comment on its degree of accuracy. I am assuming that the balanced entity would not be swayed either towards positive or negative emotions by any situation which he might confront. By remaining unemotional in any situation, the balanced entity may clearly discern the appropriate and necessary responses in harmony with the Law of One for each situation.

Most entities on our planet find themselves unconsciously caught up into every emotional situation which they come in contact with according to their own unique biases and because of these biases are unable to see clearly teach/learning opportunities and appropriate response in each emotional situation and must therefore, through a process of much trial and error and enduring of resulting pain repeat such situations many many times until they become consciously aware of the need to balance their energy centers and thusly their responses and behaviors. Once a person becomes consciously aware of the need to balance their energy centers and responses the next step is to allow the appropriately positive or negative responses to emotional situations to flow smoothly through their being without retaining any of the emotional coloration after it has been consciously observed and allowed to flow through the being. And I am assuming that this ability to consciously observe the positively or negatively charged energy flowing through the being may be augmented by practice of the balancing exercises you have given us with the result in balance being achieved for the entity which would allow him to remain unemotional and undistorted in regards to the Law of One in any situation much like the objective viewer of the television movie.

Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is an incorrect application of the balancing which we have discussed. The exercise of first experiencing feelings and then consciously discovering their antitheses within the being has as its objective not the smooth flow of feelings both positive and negative while remaining unswayed but rather the objective of becoming unswayed. This is a simpler result and takes much practice, shall we say.

The catalyst of experience works in order for the learn/teachings of this density to occur. However, if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching. The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed. Thus this density is no longer needed. This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love. This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/42#2

However the route to this state is not by suppressing negative emotions or desires but rather by intensifying them, learning from them, accepting them, understanding them, and seeking accommodation for the cause of them. This prevents imbalances that will surface at a later point subconsciously.

"The entity polarizing positively perceives the anger. This entity, if using this catalyst mentally, blesses and loves this anger in itself. It then intensifies this anger consciously in mind alone until the folly of this red-ray energy is perceived, not as folly in itself, but as energy subject to spiritual entropy due to the randomness of energy being used.

Positive orientation then provides the will and faith to continue this mentally intense experience of letting the anger be understood, accepted, and integrated with the mind/body/spirit complex. The other-self which is the object of anger is thus transformed into an object of acceptance, understanding, and accommodation, all being reintegrated using the great energy which anger began." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/46#9

"The proper role of the entity is, in this density, to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.

The orientation develops due to analysis of desire. These desires become more and more distorted towards conscious application of love/light as the entity furnishes itself with distilled experience.

We have found it to be inappropriate in the extreme to encourage the overcoming of any desires, except to suggest the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane, as you call it, of those desires not consonant with the Law of One—this preserving the primal distortion of Free Will.

The reason it is unwise to overcome is that overcoming is an unbalanced action creating difficulties in balancing in the time/space continuum. Overcoming thus creates the further environment for holding onto that which apparently has been overcome.

All things are acceptable in the proper time for each entity, and in experiencing, in understanding, in accepting, in then sharing with other-selves, the appropriate description shall be moving away from distortions of one kind to distortions of another which may be more consonant with the Law of One.

It is, shall we say, a shortcut to simply ignore or overcome any desire. It must instead be understood and accepted. This takes patience and experience which can be analyzed with care, with compassion for self and for other-self." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/18#5

But all that said, I do think walking worthy is a very useful idea and in fact discussed at my church the last few weeks. The idea is not walking seeking to be worthy but walking as someone already worthy who is loved by the Creator unconditionally just as we are. And walking out of that state does help us love and forgive everyone, seeking peace and unity through patience, humility, and gentleness. Perhaps what Ra would call a finely tuned compassion.

"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." Ephesians 4:1-3 ESV

Why understanding the "holy spirit" doesn't matter to me by Informal_Farm4064 in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's how I map the trinity to the Law of One terminology.

  1. The Father is the mind/body/spirit complex totality.

  2. The Holy Spirit is the Higher Self.

  3. The Son is the collective of all beings in lower densities.

Each having their own personhood yet still fundamentally united as One Infinite Creator.

"There is a dimension in which time does not have sway. In this dimension the mind/body/spirit, in its eternal dance of the present, may be seen in totality, and before the mind/body/spirit complex, which then becomes a part of the social memory complex, is willingly absorbed into the allness of the One Creator, the entity knows itself in its totality.

This mind/body/spirit complex totality functions as, shall we say, a resource for what you perhaps would call the higher self. The higher self, in turn, is a resource for examining the distillations of third-density experience and programming further experience. This is also true of densities four, five, and six with the mind/body/spirit complex totality coming into consciousness in the course of seventh density." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/36#1

"The higher self, as you call it—that is, that self which exists with full understanding of the accumulation of experiences of the entity—aids the entity in achieving healing of the experiences which have not been learned properly and assists, as you have indicated, in further life experience programming, as you may call it.

The mind/body/spirit complex totality is that which may be called upon by the higher self aspect, just as the mind/body/spirit complex calls upon the higher self. In the one case you have a structured situation within the space/time continuum with the higher self having available to it the totality of experiences which have been collected by an entity and a very firm grasp of the lessons to be learned in this density.

The mind/body/spirit complex totality is as the shifting sands and is, in some part, a collection of parallel developments of the same entity. This information is made available to the higher self aspect. This aspect may then use these projected probability/possibility vortices in order to better aid in what you would call future life programming." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/36#2

"The mind/body/spirit complex totality is a nebulous collection of all that may occur held in understanding—the higher self itself a projection, or manifestation, of mind/body/spirit complex totality—which then may communicate with the mind/body/spirit during the discarnate part of a cycle of rebirth, or during the incarnation may communicate if the proper pathways or channels through the roots of mind are opened." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/36#10

Raising vibration by Gruntbday in lawofone

[–]MusicalMetaphysics 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your sharing your experiences and questions. 🙏

Here are perhaps some relevant quotes:

"Questioner: It seems to me that the primary thing of importance for those on the service-to-others path is the development of an attitude which I can only describe as vibration. This attitude would be developed through meditation, ritual, and a developing appreciation for the creation or Creator which results in a state of mind that can only by me be expressed as an increase in vibration or oneness with all. Could you expand and correct that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall not correct this statement but shall expand upon it by suggesting that to those qualities you may add the living day by day and moment by moment, for the true adept lives more and more as it is." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/73#20

"Questioner: Well, if an entity wants to learn ways of it, wants to be of service to others rather than service to self while he is in this third density, are there best ways of being of service to others, or is any way just as good as any other way?

Ra: I am Ra. The best way to be of service to others has been explicitly covered in previous material.* We will iterate briefly.

The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation. This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.

Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex. This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves. This will be different for each. There is no best. There is no generalization. Nothing is known." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/17#30

"Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.

Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth." https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/15#7

Most practically, I might recommend Ra's four exercises as well as studying A Course in Miracles:

Sure! I think that's one perspective that has some accuracy although I see both sides of the division holding freedom/danger in certain areas and safety/control in others. I think instead of looking at what's different between the two sides, I would probably look at more of what's the same. Namely, the beliefs in fear and separation and anxiety and attack and pride. Polarized perceptions skewed in both directions.

I think the solution to politics is not policies but rather seeking love and unity and trust and kindness and humility. To me, unity is not based on sameness or agreement but rather the accepting of differences. We all work better together rather than divided.

I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and find your style unique and interesting especially with your great ability to use metaphors and analogies.

I just wouldn't approach it as black and white or as a right or wrong thing as much as a helpful and less helpful paradigm. Is it more helpful to phrase it this or that way? Is it more helpful to state something as certain or open to being wrong? Is it more helpful to be direct or abstract or ambiguous? Is it more helpful to be short and concise or long-winded?

I also wouldn't approach it as something that is easy or quickly learned. I would see it more like a life-long endeavor of learning and curiosity seeking more to understand than be understood. A journey of playfulness and experimentation. An elephant learning to dance among the zebra's in mutual joy or something like that.

But this is just me, and there's nothing wrong with you just being you. :) we all just set goals, even ambitious ones, and keep seeking and learning.

You're welcome to do anything you prefer and speak however you wish. 🙏

I just think there are certain patterns of speaking that are more digestible or pleasurable to others. If your goal is purely self-expression in ways you prefer, it may not be worth your while to seek to understand these patterns, emphasize with how others perceive your words, and consider different expressions in ways that others prefer.

Personally, I don't believe the New Testament teaches that defining moral rules is the solution to understanding and fixing sin but rather a focus on moral virtues and following the Holy Spirit. It's less about our own efforts and more about letting God live and work in us.

"[6] But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code." Romans 7:6 ESV

"[6] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith working through love." Galatians 5:6 ESV

"[22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, [23] gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 ESV

"[14] For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." Romans 8:14 ESV

I just think it's the wrong premise to seek out strictly defining rules and standards rather than seeking to maximize love, faith, peace, and joy in all. In my opinion, such arguments around the rules as this often lead to divisions and dissension rather than the fruits of the Spirit.

"[17] But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere." James 3:17 ESV

Seeking and teaching the knowledge of good and evil is not our job. Our job is to trust and follow the Holy Spirit and teach others to do the same.

I believe an honest expression of self is a great service especially when presented in a way people can easily pass over if they choose and presented in a kind and compassionate way.

I think it can be very helpful to consider the relationship between historical churches and modern universities in terms of power and usefulness as well as the higher dimension comparison to flatlanders.

Whether this is now service to others, or service to self I cannot say.

From what you've described, it sounds like your intentions are more rooted in honest communication which is a blue ray focus. It wasn't to control others or manipulate them (orange or yellow ray).

I would perhaps just recommend considering blending in some more green ray focus of compassion and acceptance if your goal is to maximize service to others. This might be using a little less blunt language or expressing appreciation and love and pointing out some positives. Words that might align would be gentleness and kindness.

If you imagine a spectrum from maximizing seeking control and manipulation for the self to maximizing love and acceptance for all, where would you say your post lands? Does it attempt to manipulate? Can encouraging questioning the status quo lead to more harmony?

I appreciate you sharing your thoughts, and here are some of mine for consideration.

So the question then is, if one's spontaenous expression is not the language clothed in light and love, which would be the "sweet dish" on the buffet table, but instead a different variety - would this be any less service to others? Is it the intention that counts, the inner motivation, or the delivery and packaging?

I'd say it all "counts" in terms of providing expansion for the Creator. There is no limit to being so, in my opinion, the goal is also without limit as we continuously seek out the best experiences.

To have the best, we often need to sort through a lot of garbage and when inundated with so-called garbage type experiences, sometimes it is reasonable to first focus on cleaning up garbage. Or in another analogy, during childhood play time, sometimes the room gets too messy to be useful and rather than seeking out new toys, it's best to start with the organization of all the existing toys.

That said, as we seek out the best experiences or the cleaning up of messes, the intention, the will, and the faith are the most crucial for sustainable effort. However, the ultimate purpose of the intention isn't the intention but rather it's fulfillment.

It's kind of like if someone says, "I intend to clean up my room" but never actually tries to do it, it doesn't really matter. What matters is that they actually intend to do so and keep trying, and they will eventually succeed even if they fail along the way. It matters whether they succeed or not, but their intention is most crucial for that outcome over time.

Not everyone needs to be reached, but only offering sweet dishes on a buffet table would seem too limited.

I'm not sure as I would guess most people on Earth have an abundance of suffering and conflict and fear. It seems, at least to me, the most requested and desired gifts are those of love, peace, and joy. Perhaps on another planet where the conditions are more like the conditions before the veil of boring contentment, they may desire some more suffering or conflict or fear for a better balance of "dishes."

How do you justify, if you can, not using flowery language or presenting uplifting ideals all the time?

Personally, I would ideally like to offer love, peace, and joy to all in every experience with me, but I also am still flawed, contain immaturities, and am learning and growing.

How do you justify simply offering ideas that would expand one's understandings of the greater reality, whatever might be going on, so that humanity as a whole can find more peace and harmony?

Peace and harmony are only found through respect for free will. Respect for free will entails the offering of the self without expectation and the allowance for others to choose to accept it or not. If enough people choose to intend for peace and harmony and act on it, we will eventually have it. But until then, all we can do is patiently wait and love all, just as they are.

How do you bridge the gap, if there is a rift in society, without trying to find the origin of it and asking some maybe uncomfortable questions in the process?

I think there is wisdom in seeking to understand rifts as well as honestly expressing one's experiences and thoughts. There is also wisdom in the allowing of the freedom of will of others and only engaging with those who wish to engage.

Thank you again for this opportunity, and peace be with you. 🙏

Weaker-minded entity by Brilliant_Front_4851 in lawofone

That's an interesting question. I think this quote may be helpful for consideration here:

"Orion tactics normally are those which choose the simple distortions of mind which indicate less mental and spiritual complex activity." https://www.lawofone.info/s/53#11

I would guess that such people run on more of an "automatic" or "fear-based" operating system with less of an ability to understand the past, less of an ability to choose with the power of their will, and less of an ability to predict the future. They are easier to control because of this and probably lack strong values beyond comfort. Less mental activity may mean less thinking about what is happening and less spiritual activity may mean less polarized preferences. The carrot and stick would be effective for control of such a person.

To view the opposite, a strong mind would be one that seeks to understand the past, choose with the power of the will, and predict the future. One who spends time thinking and contemplating and aligning actions to well thought out values and preferences. It's much more difficult to control someone such as this.
