"Thrive" is amazing must watch!

[βαθμιαίος]

"To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free." If we want to take from the universe, we have to come into balance within ourselves.

That answer was in the context of the difference between "slingshot" travel and travel by thought. Ra said that fourth-, fifth-, and sixth-density entities use "slingshot" travel until they develop the ability to travel by thought. Surely it's OK for third-density entities to use it, too? It seems like you're requiring greater discipline from third density than is required from fourth, fifth, or sixth.

Is our current civilization mature enough to handle such responsibility without perverting it?

Who knows? Let's find out.

I have a hard time believing that if withholding it was such a detriment to our development (in other words, if it is the actual answer), the balance of positive and negative influences would have allowed it to slip out in some form.

Maybe that's happening now. Ten years ago, not very many people had heard of Tesla. Now, it's much more common to see his name.
