I picked up a lot of metaphysics when I was a freshman at the University of Louisville, being influenced by the Physics professor whom I am very grateful to have befriended. That got me looking into books by and about all kinds of people and subjects, from Rosicrucian to Cayce etc. One theme that seemed to run through it all was that we are on this Earth to learn and grow. I took that in and ran with it.
That's why I was so upset when, on a visit from California to family and friends in Louisville, I heard Don say that we are living these lives for experience, period. He wouldn't let me finish when I tried to bring in learning: "Nothing else, just experience!" They had begun receiving the Ra material but hadn't published it yet, and he was euphoric about the information that was coming in. I thought he had missed the big point and I actually worried about him. Little did I know.
When they published the first book, I devoured it twice. The first read I just kind of shared the excitement of their good fortune in making that contact. The second time I worked at absorbing the information. It took me awhile to get the point that we are here for experience only (the Choice just seemed like an inevitable byproduct).
Now I'm enthusiastic about the fact that we experience things all the time, without any effort. There's no pressure to learn, no making of mistakes, no obligations. Yes actions do have consequences, but both of those are experiences
. I slowly integrated (still am) the idea that we are all One, so no point in not forgiving and loving others, even my "enemies," of which I thought I had many in those days.
I am such a better person now that it still amazes me.
