Yeah faith/will are interesting concepts that seem to have several layers. I think when Ra says understanding is not of this density in regards to harvest, they are referring to the choice of love and the attitude that accompanies it. It would seem the ability to remain humble and open are also necessary.
I imagine most of us were born with a lot of love, yet harsh vibrations turned me inward personally. I still remained gentle and was kind always, but I developed a lot disdain towards others in my mental attitude. Self-validation..others are wrong..I understand and this is why, let me count thy ways. The analytical mind is extremely helpful though, and has a purpose.."However, this same ability to structure abstract concepts and to analyze experiential data may be the key to rapid positive polarization." We look at others and analyze why they are "wrong." When we are ready though, we take that knowledge and begin to integrate and accept it. "Without such a method of reversing the analytical process, one could not integrate into unity the many understandings gained in such seeking."
When I think of the time that I abandoned separation and developed a deeper compassion for others, I no longer attempted to control (service to self) and validate my suffering through the viewpoint that everything outside of me is responsible for my suffering. When we attempt to understand the world in the third density sense before the choice is made, we are saying "This..this..that..and these, are the reasons why the world creates the pain I'm experiencing, and it has nothing to do with me."
The choice seems to encompass a release of all this. "I no longer am going to attempt to control (understand) life, but I am going to surrender to it and enjoy how beautiful it is. Rather than attempting to control my perception of another so as to make them responsible for my pain, which I formerly called "understanding", I am simply going to accept them and choose to love them. I no longer am going to control my experience, but love the world because I now feel that loving seems more appropriate."
You use your faith (belief by way of feeling) to seek past the resistance of the edge of the need to control. This is the beginning of placing others before yourself.
Surrendering to love is a gesture then, an offering of yourself to others symbolized as the act of acceptance, in that you are no longer attempting to control the other/experience, but you also open up to what they are offering you by way of releasing control and simply loving them. This two-way acknowledgement of service, this opening up to others, is service to others. This takes faith..a knowing..a feeling of placement in rightness.
Personally, I went through a process where life wasn't making sense at all, and I didn't understand a lot of things no matter how I tried to validate them. This is the resistance of the edge. The persistence to understand. I gave in though and began accepting life. Everything changed instantly.
Many experience this as a release..bliss/enlightenment which was my experience..contact with intelligent infinity. Rather than using the left-hand path to analyze life, you abandon that and open up to the right-hand path of feeling. You no longer use other-selves, which are a part of you/your mind, for understanding by way of self-correctness. This is what Ra referred to as the prostituted entity..using the reflection of the other to validate yourself. With the choice, you instead open up to the other and offer love..a deeper understanding through the acknowledgement that you are ok with others being who they are.

Quote:Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind, seeing it in the guise of the maiden, go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
