Acceptance and Ignorance

[zenmaster]

We are in an "unprepared" or "unaccountable" state yet we tragically go on to fill in the blanks instead with desires, projection or bullshit - such as the bullshit that saturates these forums.

Why do we do this?

Laziness. The path of least resistance.

That simple huh. It sometimes boggles my mind how often I choose this path when putting in even the slightest bit of effort would reward me greatly. Any advice for how to overcome this?

Develop the will. "The Act of Will" by Roberto Assagioli. Incidentally, he was credited with coining the term "Higher Self" which is used throughout the Ra Material.

"There is no experience which is not purchased by effort of some kind, no act of service to self or others which does not bear a price, to the entity manifesting, commensurate with its purity. All things in manifestation may be seen in one way or another to be offering themselves in order that transformations may take place upon the level appropriate to the action."

"Acceptance of self, forgiveness of self, and the direction of the will; this is the path towards the disciplined personality. Your faculty of will is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator. You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance. Thus it must be carefully used and directed in service to others for those upon the positively oriented path."
