Dear Spaced, first, I would like to applaud you for the bravery you have brought to the table in terms of discussing something that is extremely personal, possibly frighteningly deep, and definitely painful for you. At first sight, it appears that what you call the attempts at reconciliation with the self over the deeds of evil that one has done in the past is something that is closely linked to what Ra called ‘karma alleviation’.
Quote: 10.1 Questioner: I think that it would clarify things for us if we went back to the time just before the transfer of souls from Maldek to see how the Law of One operated with respect to this transfer and why this transfer was necessary. What happened to the people of Maldek that caused them to lose their planet? How long ago did this event occur?
Ra: I am Ra. The peoples of Maldek had a civilization somewhat similar to that of the societal complex known to you as Atlantis in that it gained much technological information and used it without care for the preservation of their sphere following to a majority extent the complex of thought, ideas, and actions which you may associate with your so-called negative polarity or the service to self. This was, however, for the most part, couched in a sincere belief/thought structure which seemed to the perception of the mind/body complexes of this sphere to be positive and of service to others. The devastation that wracked their biosphere and caused its disintegration resulted from what you call war.
The escalation went to the furthest extent of the technology this social complex had at its disposal in the space/time present of the then time. This time was approximately 705,000 of your years ago. The cycles had begun much, much earlier upon this sphere due to its relative ability to support the first-dimensional life forms at an earlier point in the space/time continuum of your solar system. These entities were so traumatized by this occurrence that they were in what you may call a social complex knot or tangle of fear. Some of your time passed. No one could reach them. No beings could aid them.
Approximately 600,000 of your years ago the then-existing members of the Confederation were able to deploy a social memory complex and untie the knot of fear. The entities were then able to recall that they were conscious. This awareness brought them to the point upon what you would call the lower astral planes where they could be nurtured until each mind/body/spirit complex was able finally to be healed of this trauma to the extent that each entity was able to examine the distortions it had experienced in the previous life/illusion complex.
After this experience of learn/teaching, the group decision was to place upon itself a type of what you may call karma alleviation. For this purpose they came into incarnation within your planetary sphere in what were not acceptable human forms. This then they have been experiencing until the distortions of destruction are replaced by distortions towards the desire for a less distorted vision of service to others. Since this was the conscious decision of the great majority of those beings in the Maldek experience, the transition to this planet began approximately 500,000 of your years ago and the type of body complex available at that time was used.
In my opinion, before discussing karmic alleviation, I think it would be helpful to clearly understand what karma is. For this, we can again fruitfully turn to that wondrous literature, called the Ra material (or LOO).
Quote: 34.4 Questioner: Thank you. Would you define karma?
Ra: I am Ra. Our understanding of karma is that which may be called inertia. Those actions which are put into motion will continue using the ways of balancing until such time as the controlling or higher principle which you may liken unto your braking or stopping is invoked. This stoppage of the inertia of action may be called forgiveness. These two concepts are inseparable.
Now, again back to reconciliation with the self in terms of coming to terms with the grotesque deeds of evil that one has committed in the past –
Quote: 18.12 Questioner: You stated yesterday that forgiveness is the eradicator of karma. I am assuming that balanced forgiveness for the full eradication of karma would require forgiveness not only of other-selves but also the forgiveness of self. Am I correct?
Ra: I am Ra. You are correct. We will briefly expand upon this understanding in order to clarify.
Forgiveness of other-self is forgiveness of self. An understanding of this insists upon full forgiveness upon the conscious level of self and other-self, for they are one. A full forgiveness is thus impossible without the inclusion of self.
And, my friend, consider this profound and beautiful quote, which is about that great personality who is an inspiration par excellence for those who wish to traverse the path of unconditional love and service to others –
Extracted from 17.20:
Quote:* The entity was absolved karmically of the destruction of an other-self when it was in its last portion of lifetime and spoke upon what you would call a cross saying, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of action, or what you call karma.
*Note: In order to fully appreciate the complete context of the above quote as per the LOO, please refer to the quote numbered 17.19 from the material.
Also, the following quote may be useful for contemplation with respect to your thread –
Quote: 34.5 Questioner: If an entity develops what is called a karma in an incarnation, is there then programming that sometimes occurs so that he will experience catalyst that will enable him to get to a point of forgiveness thereby alleviating the karma?
Ra: I am Ra. This is, in general, correct. However, both self and any involved other-self may, at any time through the process of understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness, ameliorate these patterns. This is true at any point in an incarnative pattern. Thus one who has set in motion an action may forgive itself and never again make that error. This also brakes or stops what you call karma.
I think what you are currently psychologically experiencing, Spaced, are the deep pangs of your vigilant conscience, especially as you attempt to polarize in the direction of service to others. I personally think that Ra had an oblique terminology to refer to the inbuilt feature of conscience embedded into self-conscious entities as part of the ladder of evolution –
Quote: 90.21 Questioner: Then what you are saying is that once the path is recognized, either the positive or the negative polarized entity can find hints along his path as to the efficiency of that path. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. That which you say is correct upon its own merits, but is not a repetition of our statement. Our suggestion was that within the experiential nexus of each entity within its second-density environment and within the roots of mind there were placed biases indicating to the watchful eye the more efficient of the two paths. Let us say, for want of a more precise adjective, that this Logos has a bias towards kindness.
Spaced, for me, the greatest allure of the Ra material are not the grand esoteric concepts and the great mysteries of our Earth history that stand revealed; but the earthy focus that hones in like a laser onto our raw nerves of everyday human travails, fears and pains, as we dance our way through evolution, uncertain of our steps most of the way. The greatest and the most empowering theme of the Ra material for me is that of the forgiveness of the self, for there is inherent dynamic tension always in the plaited spiraling strands of freedom and uncertainty, the paradox of the experiment of the ONE knowing itself throughout infinity. Your forgiveness of your own self would be your statement of love for the ONE and its beautiful infinite creation, Spaced. Forgiving yourself will not change what has transpired in the past; but it can empower the present and make the future more beautiful for you and everyone connected with you. As we forgive our selves, it would be pertinent to remember the haloed spiritual wisdom of Ra, which I repeat once more for emphasis –

I am sure you will grow into a powerful entity of unconditional love, wisdom and support for others, both in the spiritual and the physical planes, Spaced. Mistakes have happened, yes! But, let us consciously learn from them and resolve never to cause pain to any other living being in the wondrous creation of the ONE, either in the now or in the future. That is all we can do NOW, once an arrow of sorrow has been irrevocably released in the past. Peace and light to you, my dear friend. You are in my prayers.
