Self-Transformations

[xise]

One thing about internal/external: I think everything is internal. However, that being said, external events are crucial to field testing our evolving belief system. Also, I believe interaction with the eternal factors is extremely important for the lower rays - red/orange/yellow.

For example, the lessons of personal power/self-empowerment (orange-yellow) or your relationship with others (yellow) are internal beliefs that are inextricably linked with your external reality.

There is a reason we incarnate in veiled 3d with such harsh experiences. It is look inward and evolve our being, and then field test that being in the fire of 3d catalyst, much of which has an internal and seeming external component.

And I think especially if you're not sure whether your belief system is balanced, because sometimes it's hard to immediately unbalance yourself after a lifetime of distortion, feedback from external situations can be extremely important to help point the compass of personal evolution in the right direction.

In the end, for me, the truest test of ones beliefs are harsh seemingly external catalyst; if ones emotions and actions flow naturally from a balanced state (after much introspection obvious prior to this) and lead naturally to the balance sought, you know you're becoming more and more balanced.
