I was reading the Law of One Study Guide on DivineCosmos.com tonight and I came across the excerpt below. In it Don mentions a "Charlie Nixon" a couple of times in combination with a reference to beings evolved from vegetation that are possibly from Sirius. Anyone know who Charlie Nixon is? Google turned up nothing for me.

"18. THE SIRIUS SYSTEM AND BALANCE

I. THE 3RD DENSITY ENTITIES EVOLVED FROM TREES
QUESTION: I was wondering if the social memory complex from the Sirius star evolved from trees?
RA: This approaches correctness.
Those 2nd density vegetation forms which graduated into 3rd density upon the planet bearing the name of Dog were close to the tree as you know it. (B2, S38, 72)
 
II. THEY MUST MEDITATE UPON HOSTILE ACTIONS
QUESTION: Since warlike actions are impossible with vegetation, would they not have the advantage going into 3rd density from the 2nd, of not carrying a racial memory of war and therefore develop a more harmonious nature and accelerate their evolution? (B2, S38, 72)
RA: This is correct.
However, to become balanced and to begin to polarize properly it is then necessary to investigate movements of all kinds, especially those that are warlike. (B2, S38, 72)
QUESTION: Would their investigations of warlike actions be primarily of the type that they extracted from Charlie Nixon's memory rather than warfare among themselves?
RA: This is correct.
Entities of this heritage would find it nearly impossible to fight. Indeed, their studies of movements of all kinds is their form of meditation due to the fact that their usual activity is upon a level you would call meditation. 
This must be balanced, just as your entities need constant moments of meditation to balance your activities. (B2, S38, 72-73)
 
III. THEY MOVED WITHOUT MOVING THEIR LEGS
QUESTION: We are told by Charlie Nixon that these entities moved without moving their legs. Is this a direct function of the mind somehow connected to the planet's magnetic action?
RA: This is largely correct. It is an electromagnetic phenomenon which is controlled by thought impulses of a weak electrical nature. (B2, S38, 73)
QUESTION: Was their craft visible to us and made of 3rd density material like this chair?
RA: This is correct.
"

Hello all of you beautiful peoples,

It is likely this question has been asked before, and if so I apologize for the repitition;
What do the heiroglyphics on the covers of the Law of One books mean and represent?

Thank you very much to all whom reply in advance.

Love,

B.M.Y.

Quote:2.12 Questioner: In the last session you said, “the self, if conscious to a great enough extent of the workings of the catalyst of fasting, and the techniques of programming, may through concentration of the will and the faculty of faith alone cause reprogramming without the analogy of fasting, diet, or other analogous body complex disciplines.” What are the techniques of programming which the higher self uses to ensure that the desired lessons are learned or attempted by the third-density self in our third-density incarnational laboratory?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one technique for this growing or nurturing of will and faith, and that is the focusing of the attention. The attention span of those you call children is considered short. The spiritual attention span of most of your peoples is that of the child. Thus it is a matter of wishing to become able to collect one’s attention and hold it upon the desired programming.

This, when continued, strengthens the will. The entire activity can only occur when there exists faith that an outcome of this discipline is possible.

42.13 Questioner: Can you mention some exercises for helping to increase the attention span?
Ra: I am Ra. Such exercises are common among the many mystical traditions of your entities. The visualization of a shape and color which is of personal inspirational quality to the meditator is the heart of what you would call the religious aspects of this sort of visualization.

The visualization of simple shapes and colors which have no innate inspirational quality to the entity form the basis for what you may call your magical traditions.

Whether you image the rose or the circle is not important. However, it is suggested that one or the other path towards visualization be chosen in order to exercise this faculty. This is due to the careful arrangement of shapes and colors which have been described as visualizations by those steeped in the magical tradition.

Quote:5.7 Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.

Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth.

Quote:17.30 Questioner: Well, if an entity wants to learn ways of it, wants to be of service to others rather than service to self while he is in this third density, are there best ways of being of service to others, or is any way just as good as any other way?

Ra: I am Ra. The best way to be of service to others has been explicitly covered in previous material. We will iterate briefly.

The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation. This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence or the heart of the mind/body/spirit complex.

Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex. This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves. This will be different for each. There is no best. There is no generalization. Nothing is known.

The typical seeker gets their start by being confused by what is going on around them, and in an attempt to make sense of the madness, they slow down and go within. To me, this act of stillness is very much representative of time/space and is not a coincidence as to how we access it. Indeed, in that stillness ideas and possibility can be surveyed.

Ra describes time/space as an immobile state where change is not possible, yet possibility and the grand overview can be seen. They state that incarnating in space/time allows us to move among those potentials and affect change (71.7).

What is sort of the grand spiritual insight we're consistently told is the answer? We're told that going within is sort of the be-all, end-all answer to everything. We incarnate in space/time to evolve, yet we're told time/space has all the answers. In other words, we equate theory and possibility with knowledge and power. Over the past few years, I've found that the biggest stumbling block to spiritual progression is actually theory by itself..that our spiritual beliefs can limit us.

The insight then is that spiritual beliefs by themselves, no matter how much they resonate, make sense, and/or seem completely logical cannot necessarily be considered knowledge. Therefore, true knowledge, and thus, true power, is gained through experience. One can have all sorts of advanced spiritual ideas about things, but if harmony isn't being created within and around you, then something needs adjusting.

It then seems reasonable that while going within is certainly part of the process, being active and making use of space/time is an equal part of the process as well. As a side note, I think this is related to why many seekers feel frustrated even though we seemingly found our home..we get stuck in time/space. There is a latent power that is built up which needs to be put to use in some form. We incarnated in space/time to be and do..be a painter, build a rocking chair, feed the poor..who knows, just do something 

Thoughts?

Quote:The type of meditation which may be called visualization has as its goal not that which is contained in the meditation itself. Visualization is the tool of the adept. Those who learn to hold visual images in mind are developing an inner concentrative power that can transcend boredom and discomfort. When this ability has become crystallized in an adept the adept may then do polarizing in consciousness without external action which can affect the planetary consciousness. This is the reason for existence of the so-called White Magician. Only those wishing to pursue the conscious raising of planetary vibration will find visualization to be a particularly satisfying type of meditation.

"There are approximately 53 civilizations, comprising approximately 500 planetary consciousness complexes in this Confederation."

The Earth is now in 4D and in due time will become an active member of the Confederation. To help move this member process along is the influx of 3D/4D double-body graduates and transplants ie from the 4D Quanta group that L/L channeled.

Given this influx and the octave overlap of outward/outgoing 3.8D and inward/incoming 4.1D, it would seem that it's prime time to have an increase of "strategic encounters" (CE3, CE4 and CE5) with the 53 civilization/500 planet Confederation.

CE3 is when an encounter is with visible occupants inside an ET craft. 
CE4 involves the person being taken inside the ET craft.
CE5 involves direct communication between ET's and humans.

By direct communication is meant direct two-way communicating other than channeling. A face to face communication without middleman/channel.

I'm thinking of an updated scenario of the Spielberg movie "Close Encounters of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Kind" to help with the 4D integration and orientation process into the Confederation.

With that lofty goal in mind I scanned through old L/L transcripts to find out who some of these Confederation members are.

Philip of the Brotherhood of the Seven Rays -- inner plane entity?
Deltron 4D group
Nona 4D group
Hatonn 4D group
Latwii 5D group
Oxal 4D group -- different from the 5D "Oxal from Arcturus"?
Kasara 4D group
Laitos 4D group
Orcas 4D group
L/Leema 5D group
Yadda inner plane entity
Monka 5D group -- Mars guardians who helped with the Martian transfer to Earth
Quanta 4D group -- newcomers to 4D who will make Earth their new home
Yom 5D group? --  science-focussed who became spiritual
Meta 4D group?
Amira inner plane entity
Ra 6D group

I assume that the 53 civilizations refer to SMC's, and so the 14 groups listed here is a small portion. There are 39 other SMC's unaccounted for. 

Some other members may be Pleiadians, Arcturians, Sirians and the positive version of greys from Zeta Reticuli. 5D Bashar mentions being from a Galactic Confederation so what is their connection?

Other possible members are those with karmic ties to the transplanted races here on Earth ie Monka from Mars and the various ET guides of the 3D Denebian people and the other dozen or so races here.

In an CE4 and CE5 setting here are some questions that may be asked about the Confederation:

Of the 53 civilizations:
How many are 4D civilizations and what are their star system origins?
How many are 5D civilizations and what are their star system origins?
How many are 6D civilizations and what are their star system origins?

What are their histories, societal structures, philosophies and goals? 

After the Terran 4D transition is complete will there be a restructuring and scale down of the Confederation? Will some Confederation members with karmic ties move on to help with the migration and resettling of the nongraduated 3D population? Will some of the Council of Nine and Guardians move on to supervise over these members and the respective 3D planets?

Will the Orion alliance follow this migration and move on to these resettled 3D planets to continue the polarity game? 

What's the plan for the 4D Terrans? What kind of societal structures, philosophies and goals will the 4D Terrans pursue given there past 3D diversity? 

Will some subgroups of this young SMC be allowed to explore and influence, if called upon, various nearby planetary systems with 3D life ie Alpha Centauri?  

Will some also be allowed to follow and influence the migration of those they had karmic ties on 3D Earth?

How about interactions and influence with the 2D/3D life on Uranus and Neptune? 

There are obviously many more pragmatic early 4D stage questions to ask at this present time of transition and I'm open to hearing other's input.

So for those with a sense of adventure ala Contact's Ellie Arroway,
is the transition ripe for more CE3, CE4 and CE5 experiences? Are there 3D/4D grads and 4D wanderers (ie Quanta) who are attuned and open to making this happen?

Does anyone here think they're a 3D/4D grad or 4D wanderer? What's your take?

I just felt compelled to post this reminder Carla left us in book V. This is a time for us to focus, each one of us must focus on the only goal this life has for us. Carla wrote this wonderfull reminder that must be always written on our hearts and minds.

And Ra’s final thought is truly a jewel. What, after all, is all our striving in the

end, including this contact and all human thought, but a vain and empty folly?

We cannot move from illusion to truth in this body, on this plane of existence.

So where is our truest and central service? Not in the doing but in the being, in

allowing the true self, that open-hearted lover of all things in creation, to share

its essence with the world, and to allow the love and light of the Infinite One to

pass through it and radiate into the planetary consciousness. That is our true

geste, all of us who have come here at this time to be of service: being, living a

devotional and devoted life.


Love and Light to all.

I have always viewed STO and STS in a very simple manner of "Treat others How you would like to be treated." or "do onto others as you would want done onto yourself." To elaborate a STO entity would treat otherselfs in the same manner that they would like to be treated, while a STS entity would disregard such a notion thinking its ok to treat an other-self in a manner that they wouldn't want to be treated in. 

My reasoning is that by treating others the same way you would like to be treated is the equivalent of practicing oneness with otherselfs. by treating other how you would treat yourself, you view otherselfs as no different then yourself. There is no separation of self. when you don't treat otherselfs as yourself there is a disconnect or separation of self. You will begin to view otherselfs as less then to yourself, and will eventually begin to justify the use of them for your own benefit regardless of the fact that you would be treating them worse then how you would like to be treated yourself. you will create a separation. 

please understand when i say separation, it does not imply that the being is unaware of the unity in all things and love, but rather it is aware of the unity of all things and love, but it choose to exist separate of it. the being chooses that it is not necessary to be connected  

I invite my fellow light seekers to add to what i post or to pick apart what they feel is wrong with my view. i'm interested in how others respond to my interpretation. does this vibe with you? do you disagree? half and half? all thoughts and opinions are welcome.

Quote:16.50 Questioner: Thank you. Is it possible for you to give a small description of the conditions [in] fourth density?
Ra: I am Ra. We ask you to consider as we speak that there are no words for positively describing fourth density. We can only explain what is not and approximate what is. Beyond fourth density our ability grows more limited still until we become without words.

That which fourth density is not: it is not of words, unless chosen. It is not of heavy chemical vehicles for body complex activities. It is not of disharmony within self. It is not of disharmony within peoples. It is not within limits of possibility to cause disharmony in any way.

Approximations of positive statements: it is a plane of a type of bipedal vehicle which is much denser and more full of life; it is a plane wherein one is aware of the thoughts of other-selves; it is a plane where one is aware of the vibrations of other-selves; it is a plane of compassion and understanding of the sorrows of third density; it is a plane striving towards wisdom or light; it is a plane wherein individual differences are pronounced although automatically harmonized by group consensus.

Quote:38.14 Questioner: All right, I’ll just ask this one. I have here that— could you give me some idea of what conditions are like on a fourth-density negative or self-service planet? Can you do this?
Ra: I am Ra. The graduation into fourth-density negative is achieved by those beings who have consciously contacted intelligent infinity through the use of red, orange, and yellow rays of energy. Therefore, the planetary conditions of fourth-density negative include the constant alignment and realignment of entities in efforts to form the dominant patterns of combined energy.

The early fourth density is one of the most intensive struggle. When the order of authority has been established and all have fought until convinced that each is in the proper placement for power structure, the social memory complex begins. Always the fourth-density effects of telepathy and the transparency of thought are attempted to be used for the sake of those at the apex of the power structure.

This, as you may see, is often quite damaging to the further polarization of fourth-density negative entities, for the further negative polarization can only come about through group effort. As the fourth-density entities manage to combine, they then polarize through such services to self as those offered by the crusaders of Orion.

You may ask more specific questions in the next session of working. Are there any brief queries before we leave this instrument?
