To give a quick summary, in this thread I speculate on the nature of thoughts as things/symbols, which can be understood as emotion, and how to best make use of our emotions magically.
Over the past year or so I've come to realize that many of our thoughts, which appear to have been sufficiently considered and balanced, have a hidden emotion at its root. In actuality, all thought has at its core a root emotional energy that can be understood symbolically/sacramentally. In Eastern thought we're told that we are not our emotions, and that is very true to an extent. But what I'm saying is that all thought and opinion is rooted in an emotional energy..that we are essentially emotion. This makes sense, because what we seek is beingness, and beingness is something that is felt. No descriptive words can take place of the love you feel for someone, and it is that emotional realm that we are moving into and will create by focusing on love.
Yes, the ability to discern and organize thoughts allow us to arrive at a state of beingness. Coming to understanding by using the intellect is necessary. But once we are there, I believe we are to be focused on purified emotion so that what we create in the moment, becomes a more and more effective teaching in the moment..to be immersed in clarity, the original thought, rather than illusion. When we are lost in separation, we are branching away from an energetic path that was in motion and we distort it. To see unity is to be one with what is attempting to be created, and we dance in harmony with that energy and become a co-creator..that's my interpretation of what the "one original thought" means.
I find that it's easiest to consider this emotion in terms of radiation and absorption, as it was simply put by Ra, or phrased differently, that which is freely given or controlled. Am I radiating light, or absorbing it? Am I creating harmony or disharmony by offering opinion that was not asked for? I've found that the majority of our thoughts, though seemingly innocent and genuine, are rooted in an energy of absorption/control. Why? Because aligning others with our thoughts brings us a type of satisfaction that we desire..Ra phrases this as "desire for possession."
In 30.4 you can see that Ra is essentially linking emotion with bias, distortion, and wisdom, that they are essentially the same thing, and that these qualities of so-called thought can go unseen. You can also see in 76.3 that thought has form. In other words, its structure is either radiant or absorptive, which will be determined by the emotional place it is coming from. Is what I'm offering truly what this person is asking for? Am I being supportive, or destructive? In 52.7, I believe Ra is alluding to this emotional quality of thought, as much of what we offer is coming from a place of control, rather than support. And indeed in 64.4, the key to white magic is disciplined and purified emotion, not thought..the thinking mind. With our heart in the right place, we can then color and build our thoughts accordingly, sending a supportive energy.
All of this may already be common sense, as before a person starts on the path of wisdom, we are very much on a path that comes from the heart. But ultimately I think we can get stuck in the realm of illusory mental energy, thought, logic, what is correct, and it's important to always be focused on the heart, and to be conscious of the emotional quality that our thoughts are colored with, and what we're sending to another symbolically.
To take an example from a recent thread..In the past, when I've heard of someone experiencing ill health or general catalyst, I would immediately think of what might be out of alignment in their consciousness. Since there is no right or wrong, I instead try to sympathize with their state of being and focus on empathy. It's not that these feelings didn't exist before, but I would often jump to a place in my consciousness where I was questioning their being, rather than being open to ways in which I might help, which may or may not include wisdom. I also try to not analyze the thoughts and opinions of others as correct or incorrect, and instead see that I too had those thoughts, and focus on love with the understanding that I am experiencing myself.
These days I am interested in allowing others to own their thoughts, and be in their own comfort zone. I am only interested in harmonious interaction, and I don't feel that it is my duty to illuminate others. To pull the rug out from another's feet, or to attempt to shape another's thoughts on a regular basis is not harmony..it is disharmony. By learning to constantly see myself in the moment, to become conscious of that beauty and feel it, I am focused on love and creating an emotional realm of love, acceptance, and harmony. By purifying my emotional vibration, I create an atmosphere that gives and supports. I am here to support others on our journey together.
Others have the same divine guidance system that I have, and I trust that they are finding what is appropriate for them at this time, and have faith that they will ultimately find what they are looking for. Sing, dance, laugh, feel love..be love! There is no denying that when you are in a great mood and exuding that energy, it is contagious and seems to transform others. Be harmony..create harmony constantly! It's all that's needed!

Quote:64.4 The principle behind any ritual of the white magical nature is to so configure the stimuli which reach down into the trunk of mind that this arrangement causes the generation of disciplined and purified emotion or love which then may be both protection and the key to the gateway to intelligent infinity.
Quote:30.4 In your terms there is a great loss of mind complex due to the fact that much of the activity of a mental nature of which you are aware during the experience of this space/time continuum is as much of a surface illusion as is the chemical body complex.
In other terms nothing whatever of importance is lost; the character or, shall we say, pure distillation of emotions and biases or distortions and wisdoms, if you will, becoming obvious for the first time, shall we say; these pure emotions and wisdoms and bias/distortions being, for the most part, either ignored or underestimated during physical life experience.
Quote:76.3 As the entity which you are allows its being to empathize with another being, so then it may choose to share with the other-self those energies which may be salubrious to the other-self. The mechanism of these energy transfers is the thought or, more precisely, the thought-form for any thought is a form or symbol or thing that is an object seen in time/space reference.
Quote:55.2 We scan this instrument and find its distortion towards appreciation of each entity and each entity’s caring, as you may call it. This atmosphere, shall we say, offers the greatest contrast to the discomfort of such psychic attacks, being the reciprocal, that is, the atmosphere of psychic support.
This each of you do as a subconscious function of true attitudinal, mental, emotional, and spiritual distortions towards this instrument. There is no magic greater than honest distortion toward love.
Quote:102.11 Each entity must, in order to completely unblock yellow ray, love all which are in relationship to it, with hope only of the other-selves’ joy, peace, and comfort.
Quote:52.7 Acceptance of self, forgiveness of self, and the direction of the will; this is the path towards the disciplined personality. Your faculty of will is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator. You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance. Thus it must be carefully used and directed in service to others for those upon the positively oriented path.
There is great danger in the use of the will as the personality becomes stronger, for it may be used even subconsciously in ways reducing the polarity of the entity.
Quote:32.14 The portion covered is this: the green-ray activation is always vulnerable to the yellow or orange ray of possession, this being largely yellow ray but often coming into orange ray. Fear of possession, desire for possession, fear of being possessed, desire to be possessed: these are the distortions which will cause the deactivation of green-ray energy transfer.
Quote:42.2 The catalyst of experience works in order for the learn/teachings of this density to occur. However, if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching. The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed. Thus this density is no longer needed. This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love. This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance.
We tend to make this journey more complex than it is. By worrying about making things right, we totally push aside a quality of being that is always available. And to go along with your second point, harmony can be tiring. After a day of bliss, it can start to feel forced, and you get tired.
