The Choice

[Tenet Nosce]

I put seven more sentences after that you know...

Yes, I know. Much of it was continuing to talk about the STO/STS meme- which I personally find pointless to discuss if people aren't willing to expand their concept of polarity beyond this. The discussion just goes round and round in circles. Ra gave us not one, but two, other lines of inquiry to understand the polarization of consciousness by analogy. And yet we vehemently refuse to take their advice. Why? Is it not worth a couple hours out of our entire lives to learn something about magnetism, if it will help us to reach our aim?

Can we really have an expectation of ourselves to develop Higher Consciousness, if we cannot see through simple lies about ourselves such as "I cannot understand basic physical concepts" or "Physics is too boring for me to place my attention on"? We so fervently desire to get to the "next level" and yet when a being three levels beyond our own suggests that we go study magnetism in order to understand our own consciousness, we stubbornly refuse to do this? Have we got a better idea, then?

As to your last comments about being "stuck"- it still comes back to the same thing. It is the very circularity I am talking about. We keep repeating the same patterns over and over again precisely because humanity is "stuck" on this dualistic idea of choosing between two sides. Good and evil. STS and STO. It's really all the same thing that keeps getting repackaged with different terminologies.

This is binary thinking- hardly the thinking of a Master or an Adept. If we consider this for a moment, we would see "choosing between two sides" cannot be the ticket to higher consciousness, because the whole idea is erroneous and based on a very formatory level of thinking which is essentially incompatible with Higher Mind. There are not two classes of beings within Creation- but rather one being with an infinite number of unique faces. In other words- there is no "side" but your own for you to select from... what "you" think of as "you" is the singular light of consciousness passing through a particular facet of the singular gem of Creation.

We keep thinking it has something to do with "picking a side" when it really doesn't. Our "side" has already been picked long before we entered into this incarnation. Rather, it has to do with conscious alignment in a manner which is analogous to the way that molecules become aligned in a magnetic material. Escaping from the wheel of "endless incarnations" is not about whether or not we make the "right" ethical decisions in life. Rather, it is about aligning our consciousness in order to attract a sufficient amount of the "light of harvestable quality" i.e. true identity. As things stand now, we have little true identity. One minute we think X is "good" and Y is "bad" and the next minute we flip-flop, for the most part unconscious of the fact that we have contradicted ourselves, and made ourselves out to be hypocrites. We have little alignment between our thoughts, feelings, words, and actions. Therefore, we end up going nowhere.

We keep thinking that we need to find some absolute sense of what is "good" and what is "bad"- and yet we cannot find it. And yet, our continued failure to find it never seems to cause us to question the basic premise that good/bad is a useful concept- that it is necessary to discern between them, or even desirable, or even possible in an objective sense, apart from a particular aim. The idea that we need to "choose between two sides" is so deeply ingrained in our consciousness, that even when we are explicitly told something different in the material, we continue to project this idea into it, and fight for it tooth and nail.

As if- were there no external source dictating to us what our ethical values should be and "keeping us in line" we would all devolve into a bunch of psychopaths killing each other in the streets. This is nonsense. It is true that it is necessary to live according to our ethical values, but it does not matter one lick what those values are. It's not about whether we have the "right" values but the degree to which we display conscious alignment with our values in the present moment.

Even if we go back to the deepest antiquity, we see this meme. According to my understanding- somewhere around 5000 years ago, there were groups referred to as the "Sons of the Law of One" and the "Sons of Belial" in some historical documents. The first group espoused the fundamental unity of all beings, while the second posited that there were two dualistically opposed camps between which all beings had to pick a side- these were called the "wicked" and the "righteous". Of course, this second group almost immediately fractured into two sub-camps, each holding an opposite view of who were the wicked and who were the righteous. And those two sub-camps each divided into two sub-sub-camps, and each of those four sub-sub-camps into two sub-sub-sub-camps, and so on ad infinitum. And all these camps have been arguing ad nauseum- and even killing each other at times- ever since.

I believe this refers to the original distortion of the Law of One which was referred to in the material. The whole point of the Law of One is that we all share a singular consciousness. There is no "self" over here and "other" over there, except for what we have made up in our own minds. Therefore, it flies directly in the face the Law of One to boil it all down to a code of "ethics and activity" between an illusory "self" and "other". The whole idea is completely unnecessary, and in many ways a hindrance.

The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self.

Therefore, if we find ourselves blinking, we can be sure that we have lost sight of the Law of One.
