Balance has less with what actions you do or do not take, and more about what you state you are in when you are doing them. Thus, to use a common example, balance for one person might involve not eating meat, for another it may. It's less about the action and more about how you go about the activity. Another example the Ra passage mentioning that when Lincoln's 4D Positive walk-in continued to polarize positively despite ordering war upon other selves.



To follow rules about what "should" and "should not" do is less about acceptance, and more about control through judgment. Hence, in my opinion, Ra talks about why no desire should be overcome. You cannot fake balance. If you desire to do something, unless it is truly hurting others, suppressing the desire is worse than acting out the desire. Accepting and understanding something means that something may or may not fall away. The heart of acceptance is believing that something is 100% ok for the present moment. If there still is the lingering feeling that acting the desire out is unacceptable or bad, then you aren't fully accepting the desire. The question is, why are you attached to the idea that an activity must continue or must cease - why is there a desire and then another desire to stop that action - the way you resolve that is the important part of the determination of how you are learning and who you are.



Following one's desire is something I've very much being focusing on lately. There is an entire Greek philosophy devoted to enlightenment through desire. I believe this is an important point because desire, in many religions including Buddhism and Christianity, is popularly portrayed as harmful (orange distortion). I believe this is a distortion similar to the popular portrayal in many religions that life is full of hardship and pain (red distortion). It is simply a distorted perspective. If you are a positive being, you can trust your desires for things truly imbalanced to naturally fall away as you examine why you do an activity. If you cannot find this understanding, I believe it is either because you have not looked deeply enough or you are bringing the societal distortion of desires being harmful and the activity itself is not a big deal. Either way, unless the desire is something truly overtly hurtful to others, to not do the desire or to even think "I shouldn't do this" adds an extra layer of self-judgement and lack of self-acceptance.



Each entity is unique, and I believe generalizations about either path such as marijuana is mostly distraction, games from 1980 are mostly distraction, cancer is anger issue, homosexuality is aura infringement , vegetarian is better (Q'uo not Ra unlike the others) are very harmful if those generalizations are taken instead of true understanding. You cannot be spiritual by following generalizations and controlling your conduct. You do it by deep self-understanding, and accepting who you are. Many, many people, have acknowledged marijuana's deep significance in helping them awaken, including myself. There are some catalytic multiplayer and single player games. Cancer is definitely an incarnative choice for a select few people and is not always anger related. I can see a homosexual incarnative choice to done for learning purposes rather than always due to male/female balancing. There are some people who respond better to a diet of both meat and veggies. At the end of the day, f*** rules. I refuse to set rules for myself when I'm not in the heat of moment emotion. I trust myself enough at a deep level to make good calls, and if I don't, I learn from them. YMMV.
