This one has also been in my mind for some time.

12.18 Questioner: Are there any Confederation or Orion entities living upon the Earth and operating visibly among us in our society at this time?

Ra: I am Ra. There are no entities of either group walking among you at this time. However, the crusaders of Orion use two types of entities to do their bidding, shall we say. The first type is the thought-form; the second, a kind of robot.

12.19 Questioner: Could you describe the robot?

Ra: I am Ra. The robot may look like any other being. It is a construct.

12.20 Questioner: Is the robot what is normally called the “Men in Black?”

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect.[/quote]

Do you not find this somehow interesting?

The thought form I know about; there were threads on the subject before.
My interpretation is that Ra is refering to an artificial life-form.
If it can take any shape (form). It is a construct.
What does a construct have to have by definition?
Blade Runner comes to mind.....a constructor.

The appelation 'constructor' would imply that they as entities were absent of the freedom of free will choice.
It would be interesting as usual to hear your views.

some people go blank-eyed when the subject of tarot/archetypes comes up.



is that because you haven't read book 4?

(ps the tarot made no sense to me when I first read Ra's description of it)

Quotes from a search of Lawofone.info, keyword: Truth.

Quote:We have watched your group. We have been called to your group, for you have a need for the diversity of experiences in channeling which go with a more intensive, or as you might call it, advanced approach to the system of studying the patterns of the illusions of your body, your mind, and your spirit, which you call seeking the truth. We hope to offer you a somewhat different slant upon the information which is always and ever the same.

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

To go through the various crystals to be used would be exhaustive to this instrument, although you may ask us if you wish in another session. The delicacy, shall we say, of the choosing of the crystal is very critical and, in truth, a crystalline structure such as a diamond or ruby can be used by a purified channel who is filled with the love/light of One, in almost any application.

Questioner: What is the general overall effect of television on our society with respect to this catalyst?

Ra: I am Ra. Without ignoring the green ray attempts of many to communicate via this medium such information of truth and beauty as may be helpful, we must suggest that the sum effect of this gadget is that of distraction and sleep.

--

The incorrectness lies in the truth that, given appropriate circumstances, a much longer incarnation in your space/time continuum is very helpful for continuing this intensive work until conclusions have been reached through the catalytic process.

--

(In reference to General Patton)
This entity polarized somewhat towards the positive in its incarnation due to its singleness of belief in truth and beauty.

--

Perhaps the simplest example of this apparent simultaneity of existence of two selves, which are in truth one self at the same time/space, is this: the Oversoul, as you call it, or Higher Self, seems to exist simultaneously with the mind/body/spirit complex which it aids. This is not actually simultaneous, for the Higher Self is moving to the mind/body/spirit complex as needed from a position in development of the entity which would be considered in the future of this entity.

--

However, the inner voice alerted the one known as Morris to go by itself to another place and there an entity with the thought-form shape and appearance of the other contact appeared and gazed at this entity, thus awakening in it the desire to seek the truth of this occurrence and of the experiences of its incarnation in general.

--

The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service-to-others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.

We ask that any photographs tell the truth, that they be dated, and shine with a clarity so that there is no shadow of any but genuine expression which may be offered to those which seek truth.

Quote:The power of falsity is deep as is the power to discern truth from shadow. The shadow of hidden things is an infinite depth in which is stored the power of the One Infinite Creator.

The adept, then, is working with the power of hidden things illuminated by that which can be false or true. To embrace falsity, to know it, and to seek it, and to use it gives a power that is most great. This is the nature of the power of your visitor and may shed some light upon the power of one who seeks in order to serve others as well, for the missteps in the night are oh! so easy.

Quote:We may note that there is an overriding spiritual environment and protection for the environment of the mind. We may further note that the negatively polarized adept will attempt to fashion that covenant for its own use whereas the positively polarized entity may hold forth that which is exemplified by the astrological sword; that is, light and truth.

I was speaking about this to one of my friends the other day, and they were querying my stance on Protection Rituals. They themselves had gone through a time earlier in their seeking when they used Banishing Rituals, and had had experiences where this seemed necessary.

but they also felt that as they progressed, the internal balances had become greater, and so the 'greeting' or 'attacks' would find less of a foothold; ie a less distorted person has fewer distortions to take advantage of.

I also read this today, and if I may quote a fellow forum member:

(09-27-2010, 09:10 AM)ahktu Wrote: I do see an increasing number of people (and NOT just on this forum) seeming to become fixated on negative attacks, perceiving every stroke of foul luck as harrassment from a negative entity (again, I have been a big contributor to this). I sort of feel like too much emphasis has been put on this phenomenon...this pushing the fact that if you do anything good you're automatically going to draw negative contact. There are people who have experienced nothing as of yet, but are already EXPECTING to be attacked, which of course is going to open a window for attack...that's like laying down the welcome mat. You're already creating a space in your mind for these negative entities to fill.

Of course, I am well aware that there are some people who do experience severe psychic attack, and I am in no way undermining their experiences. In severe cases this is a problem that simply can't be ignored, but I believe that thinking about it all the time, checking your closet for negative entities every night is only exacerbating the problem. Basically, if a negative entity decided to bother you, this is just CATALYST, nothing more. It's the same as someone being mean to you at work or cutting you off in traffic. You have the CHOICE of whether or not to let it get to you. If you handle it as you would in any other situation, with love and acceptance, it is allowed to pass on freely, both parties allowed to be of service in their own way. If you fixate on it and start creating a nexus of fear, well...what do you think these guys feed on?

I don't know if there has ever been much discussion on this in older threads.

I am curious about what you think about Atlantis based upon your understandings of the Law of One.

A big question remains...

Is there a wrong path? And, how do you tell if you're on it?

First, I know that right or wrong is a judgement, but The Law of One seems to allow some space for judgement.

Some will say that you are constantly creating your path and that you are only on the "wrong" path when you do not follow your heart. Well following your heart can be like swimming through murky water. There are so many conflicting aspects to any situation. For example: "Do I lose sleep and energy to help talk my friend through a problem, or do I conserve my energy so that I can be a light unto all the next day?" Or, "This decision I will make is not "right" according to others, but I want to see where this will lead."

Basically, I do things that I sometimes regret or wish to do in a different way consciously, but at the same time, some of those decisions have revealed so much about me unto me.

I feel the need to put myself on the right path, but I wonder if it is really possible to stray. Are not all things One? Is not all Love? Do I need more discipline or acceptance?

I do like this quote very much:

- -

42.8 To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged.

With this understood, we may say the following: The repression of emotions depolarizes the entity in so far as it then chooses not to use the catalytic action of the space/time present in a spontaneous manner, thus dimming the energy centers.

There is, however, some polarization towards positive if the cause of this repression is consideration for other-selves.

The entity which has worked long enough with the catalyst to be able to feel the catalyst but not find it necessary to express reactions is not yet balanced but suffers no depolarization due to the transparency of its experiential continuum.

Thus the gradual increase in the ability to observe one’s reaction and to know the self will bring the self ever closer to a true balance.

Patience is requested and suggested, for the catalyst is intense upon your plane and its use must be appreciated over a period of consistent learn/teaching.

thank you Ra!

(this is of course a very difficult endpoint, and one unlikely to be achieved in a lifetime. In the meantime, Ra recommends working with the full spectrum of emotions, and allowing their expression, even if this is in the imagination space).

Quote:Prior to the veiling process the measurement would be that of an entity walking up a set of your stairs, each of which was imbued with a certain quality of light. The stair upon which an entity stopped would be either third-density light or fourth-density light. Between the two stairs lies the threshold. To cross that threshold is difficult. There is resistance at the edge, shall we say, of each density. The faculty of faith or will needs to be understood, nourished, and developed in order to have an entity which seeks past the boundary of third density. Those entities which do not do their homework, be they ever so amiable, shall not cross. It was this situation which faced the Logoi prior to the veiling process being introduced into the experiential continuum of third density.

this is a very interesting passage which takes place within the larger context of 'overall energy transfers' here:

http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?ses...73&ss=1#21

one subset of ENERGY TRANSFERS is that of a mental transfer of energy between a teacher and student.

we have it here:

Quote:73.21 In the realm of the mental bodies there are variations of mental energy transferred. This is, again, dependent upon the knowledge sought and the knowledge offered. The most common mental energy transfer is that of the teacher and the pupil. The amount of energy is dependent upon the quality of this offering upon the part of the teacher, and regards the purity of the desire to serve, and the quality of information offered and, upon the part of the student, the purity of the desire to learn and the quality of the mind vibratory complex which receives knowledge.

Regarding STO, I have read varying theories in these forums as to the considerations of self vs. other-selves.

My working theory is that the self IS an other-self, reciprocal to the idea that the other-self is self. It would follow, according to this idea, that one would apply equal service to self as to service to other-selves, or, the same amount of consideration for self as for other-selves.

I think there may be a tendency to sacrifice, or simply not attend to, self in service to others. Carla, for instance, in her love for others, may have done this with resulting imbalances to her physical body.

Within this framework, there is also the idea that on the STO path, one might give up self-gratification (life goals or desires) in service to others. Things to consider:

1) Does the life goal serve others?

2) If the life goal serves self, might it not make the self so happy as to add joy, light, and bliss to the collective consciousness?

3) Some magic combination of the above 2?

Regarding the STS path, when an STS individual is focused on self, the person uses other-selves to further his/her path. In STO, I am referring to viewing the self as an other-self with the same amount of love and consideration.

What are your thoughts on responsibility to self within the STO path? I would like to explore this in more depth. I sometimes feel conflicted over the boundaries. As much as one might hold intention, challenges always arise. As an entrepreneur, to reach my goals I must necessarily focus on my businesses (which are of service to others but not directly--in person), and there are times when I feel as though I am shunning opportunities to be of service in my daily life (for instance, tending to an aging mother).
