A theory about STS I keep running across

[rva_jeremy]

In my travels I keep coming across the following theory:

"One should choose STS for the quick advance fast off the gate because of certainty of getting in is higher if will is stronger than the certainty of getting into STO is, so gain power now and switch as quickly as you see an oppening with the sole aim of your power being those that help you protect/heal yourself or heal others or avoid troubles."

Hmm. This assumes the choice of polarity is a conscious act. Ra indicates it's almost always something that happens at a much deeper level.

Furthemore, I'm skeptical of the idea that one can craft a "strategy" to progress through the densities. As I understand it -- as incomplete as that most certainly is --this misunderstands the point of the game, to use Ra's card game analogy. It implies that there is advantage to be gained by doing it more quickly, and that obtaining this advantage would be some sort of motivation to the self going through this spiritual evolution.

However, I can't see any way that spiritual evolution makes real sense as Ra describes it unless the "self" going through the evolution is qualitatively different -- not more, or less, just different in quality of identity and consciousness -- than the "self" that wrote those words. Indeed, the higher self might have some strategy; I personally doubt avoiding pain and misunderstanding is a top priority for it.

Speaking solely for my limited "self", I try to understand the lessons my higher self programmed instead of routing around them. I don't think it's likely you actually _can_ avoid them in some sort of sustainable manner that would allow you to outwit the forces at work as some active strategy one follows -- the best way to confound the lessons of the higher self would be to avoid polarization and pursue an apathetic stasis. Other than that, you're kind of in it for the whole enchilada as I understand it.

I don't expect to gain much traction in this group by my statement to follow: I am not convinced the "deadline" idea is valid. Much else in this material feels right to me. I still think an individual probably moves on as they are ready to move on, not according to some calendar. Regardless, it probably won't change my behavior one way or the other.

I'm confused as to what sense you find the "deadline" improbable. Do you mean the deadline that makes continued 3D development impossible on this planet? I think that's the only sense Ra speaks of a deadline for harvest.
