I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 77.17:
“Questioner: Now, would it be possible for this work of our density to be performed if all of the sub-Logoi chose the same polarity in any particular expression or evolution of a Logos? Let us make the assumption that our sun created nothing but, through the First Distortion, there was no product except positive polarity. Would work then be done in fourth density and higher as a function only of this positive polarization evolving from our original creation of sub-Logoi?
Ra: I am Ra. Elements of this query illustrate the reason I was unable to answer your previous question without knowledge of the Logos involved.
To turn to your question, there were Logoi which chose to set the plan for the activation of mind/body/spirit complexes through each true-color body without recourse to the prior application of free will. It is, to our knowledge, only in an absence of free will that the conditions of which you speak obtain. In such a procession of densities you find an extraordinarily long, as you measure time, third density; likewise, fourth density. Then, as the entities begin to see the Creator, there is a very rapid, as you measure time, procession towards the eighth density. This is due to the fact that one who knows not, cares not.
Let us illustrate by observing the relative harmony and unchanging quality of existence in one of your, as you call it, primitive tribes. The entities have the concepts of lawful and taboo, but the law is inexorable and all events occur as predestined. There is no concept of right and wrong, good or bad. It is a culture in monochrome. In this context you may see the one you call Lucifer as the true light-bringer in that the knowledge of good and evil both precipitated the mind/body/spirits of this Logos from the Edenic conditions of constant contentment but also provided the impetus to move, to work, and to learn.
Those Logoi whose creations have been set up without free will have not, in the feeling of those Logoi, given the Creator the quality and variety of experience of Itself as have those Logoi which have incorporated free will as paramount. Thusly you find those Logoi moving through the timeless states at what you would see as a later space/time to choose the free will character when elucidating the foundations of each Logos.”
In this question Don asks Ra if it would be possible for work to be done in consciousness if all sub-Logoi chose only the positive polarity to be expressed in their creations. Ra used a primitive culture as an example of a lack of polarity in that there was no good or evil but only that which was lawful or that which was taboo. Ra called it a culture “in monochrome” and suggested that the entity known as Lucifer was actually the “true light-bringer” as it introduced the “knowledge of good and evil” and gave the entities in the primitive culture reasons to move out of their “Edenic conditions” and “work and learn,” in other words to accelerate their spiritual journeys. In 82.21-.22, Ra outlined how the time before the veil of forgetting was like this primitive tribe situation:
Questioner: Then even though, from our point of view, there was great evolutionary experience it was deemed at some point by the evolving Logos that an experiment to create a greater experience was appropriate. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and may benefit from comment. The Logos is aware of the nature of the third-density requirement for what you have called graduation. All the previous, if you would use this term, experiments, although resulting in many experiences, lacked what was considered the crucial ingredient: that is, polarization.
There was little enough tendency for experience to polarize entities that entities repeated, habitually, the third-density cycles many times over. It was desired that the potential for polarization be made more available.
Questioner: Then since the only possibility at this particular time, as I see it, was a polarization for service to others, I must assume from what you said that even though all were aware of this service-to-others necessity they were unable to achieve it. What was the configuration of mind of the mind/body/spirit complexes at that time? Were they aware of the necessity for the polarization or unaware of it? And if so, why did they have such a difficult time serving others to the extent necessary for graduation since this was the only polarity possible?
Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, the tendency of those who are divinely happy, as you call this distortion, to have little urge to alter, or better, their condition. Such is the result of the mind/body/spirit which is not complex.
There is the possibility of love of other-selves and service to other-selves, but there is the overwhelming awareness of the Creator in the self. The connection with the Creator is that of the umbilical cord. The security is total. Therefore, no love is terribly important; no pain terribly frightening; no effort, therefore, is made to serve for love or to benefit from fear.
So before the knowledge of the concepts of good and evil the third density and fourth densities were repeated many times before graduation was achieved. Ra described the overall situation in which there was no veil as one in which there was an “absence of free will.” This is true only for the third-density entities who did not have the veil of forgetting between their conscious and unconscious minds. And really they did have the ability and freedom to choose their life path. They just couldn’t see much of a reason to take action and better their situation, which was having the sure knowledge that each of them was the Creator. Since there was only the positive polarity there was no choice, no true free will to choose one’s polarity. In the next session, 78.19, Don and Ra described how this situation was changed by the concept of consciousness becoming polarized towards both the good and the evil, or positive and negative polarities:
Questioner: So the original, the first evolution then was planned by the Logos, but the First Distortion was not extended to the product. At some point this First Distortion was extended, and the first service-to-self polarity emerged. Is this correct, and if so could you tell me the history of this process and emergence?
Ra: I am Ra. As proem let me state that the Logoi always conceived of themselves as offering free will to the sub-Logoi in their care. The sub-Logoi had freedom to experience and experiment with consciousness, the experiences of the body, and the illumination of the spirit. That having been said, we shall speak to the point of your query.
The first Logos to instill what you now see as free will in the full sense in its sub-Logoi came to this creation due to contemplation in-depth of the concepts, or possibilities of conceptualizations, of what we have called the significators. The Logos posited the possibility of the mind, the body, and the spirit as being complex. In order for the significator to be what it is not, it then must be granted the free will of the Creator. This set in motion a quite lengthy, in your terms, series of Logoi improving or distilling this seed thought. The key was the significator becoming a complex.
Today I took Boscoe to the vet to have his blood sugars tested for the first time in five weeks. After the results are back on his glucosamine and fructosamine, then we can see if it is time to further reduce his prednisone dose which is now half a 5 mg. tablet every other day and adjust his insulin injections from its present three- and one-half parts twice a day. While I was at the vet’s I also got a syringe of antibiotic for Dan D. Lion who came home last evening with another puncture wound in his right front paw in exactly the same position he had a puncture wound about eight years ago. It is likely that a thorn or a nail went right through his paw in each case, and after the first wound his paw healed with a lot of extra skin and fatty tissue that makes his paw look kind of like a furry marshmallow. So I gave Dan D. an injection of the antibiotic and have kept him in the house all day to keep the wound clean.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
January 25
Dance Upon The Road
I am of the consciousness which is the principle of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in divine love.
The far country beckons! The mystery retreats! The road calls the weary pilgrim forward and a new day dawns! Let this day be the day the pilgrim kicks off the dusty shoes and dances upon the road.
Let the heart be merry and light, for within winter’s dimness of day and length of night much is occurring within the body of your planet which shall be cause for great rejoicing.
Similarly, each careworn seeker is gestating within the Christed self that is born within those seeds which shall, in good time, bear fruit.
It is not necessary to await the length of days, the summer’s sun, and the visible harvest, to rejoice in the fecundity of the earth and the perfection of the process of growth. Similarly, rejoice in the process of growth within yourself and be merry this day.
We leave you in the joy and peace of Jesus the Christ, now and forever. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
