69.6
Ra:
"...
However, the death, if natural, would undoubtedly be the more harmonious; the death by murder being confused and the entity needing some time/space in which to get its bearings, so to speak; the death by suicide causing the necessity for much healing work and, shall we say, the making of a dedication to the third density for the renewed opportunity of learning the lessons set by the higher self."

I wonder if "the making of a dedication to the third density for the renewed opportunity ..." means that anyone who committed suicide has to repeat third density. I think this would not apply to Don for he is a wanderer. This passage is also the reason I kinda wish the conspiratory belief by some that Robin Williams was murdered is true, for I wish he doesn't have to repeat the 3rd density.

Ra Wrote: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.

I think intelligent energy consists of everything that is manifest, all matter. We unconsciously manifest events, and are working with intelligent energy just by living our lives. We don't even have to be an adept to do it.

Intelligent Energy also goes to the invisible, spiritual world, time/space. The unseen is intelligent energy as well. We can learn to directly work with intelligent energy through manifestation.

Making something manifest out of thin air is an adept working with intelligent energy. I haven't gotten that far. But that doesn't mean I don't work with intelligent energy. Our very thoughts influence it.

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.

Even agony. How does Creator see that? Does it like to be in pain?
What about overwhelming bliss? Is anything overwhelming to Creator?
Can it handle Everything and All That Is easily or is it always stretched to its limit?

7th density is timeless according to Ra. But if it teaches the Law of Foreverness, is it forever because it is simultaneous in nature, and not linear time? Time becomes circular, or spiral.

How can it teach the Law of Foreverness, and yet you can graduate from there and reach 8D?

If 7D is a black hole as Ra says, how do you ever "escape" it to reach 8D?

It's from the first quote that I had a thought..

"90.21 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."

"99.10 However, as has been noted there are many signposts in the deep mind indicating to the alert adept the more efficient use of catalyst. As we have said, the Logos of your peoples has a bias towards kindness."

"89.28 We were a small population which dwelt upon what you would consider difficult conditions."

"89.29 Those of us which had the gift of polarity felt deep compassion for those who seemed to dwell in darkness. This description is most apt as ours was a harshly bright planet in the physical sense. There was every attempt made to reach out with whatever seemed to be needed. However, those upon the positive path have the comfort of companions and we of Ra spent a great deal of our attention upon the possibilities of achieving spiritual or metaphysical adepthood, or work in indigo ray, through the means of relationships with other-selves. Consequently, the compassion for those in darkness was balanced by the appreciation of the light."

"64.8 Our work was that of your peoples, of experiencing the catalyst of joys and sorrows. Our circumstances were somewhat more harmonious. Let it be said that any entity or group may create the most splendid harmony in any outer atmosphere. Ra’s experiences are no more than your own."

Within the past few years, I have really come to admire the abundance of Earth's offerings, and have picked up on its lesson of giving. From one vegetable or piece of fruit that the Earth freely gives, there can be hundreds of seeds which provide even more. Peculiarly, we put a price on everything that the Earth offers, rather than trading or freely giving. In this day of highly refined and manufactured goods, it doesn't always occur to us that everything that exists comes from the Earth..computers, cars, refrigerators, the chair you're sitting on..all made from raw material.

Yet it had never occurred to me that's what Ra was saying in the quotes above when they spoke of kindness. It is very easy to live on this lush planet, and I would describe Earth's abundance as being very kind. It sounds as if Venus was a very barren place. I picture something such as the rocky deserts of the US, or the outback of Australia. What is peculiar though is that their society was somewhat more harmonious. My guess is that, in difficult conditions people tend to work together, so perhaps Ra's society was one that valued helping each other survive. And indeed, Ra does mention the comfort of companions. Working together? There are many examples of that here, especially amongst the poor. It's one of the reasons I don't worry about the future. Firstly, I know everything will be fine. Secondly, if it were to ever get difficult, I know the human spirit innately has a bias towards coming together and helping each other out.

What do you think?

Come forth into the light of things. Let nature be your teacher. ~ William Wordsworth

there are many Kundalini books out there that advocate the 'raising of the energy' up the spine. And yet, Ra has a different take on this:

This phenomenon has been called by your peoples the kundalini. However, it may better be thought of as the meeting place of cosmic and inner, shall we say, vibratory understanding. To attempt to raise the locus of this meeting without realizing the metaphysical principles of magnetism upon which this depends is to invite great imbalance.

First of all, experiences are 'drawn to oneself' because they catch the attention of the self.

We have two types of energy. We are attempting then, as entities in any true color of this octave, to move the meeting place of inner and outer natures further and further along or upward along the energy centers. The two methods of approaching this with sensible method are first, the seating within one’s self of those experiences which are attracted to the entity through the south pole.

then those experiences have to be processed, analyzed, and expressed to the self in some manner. Experiences are like the raw food for spiritual growth - they enter our space, and have to be chewed on a bit before they can really be digested.

Each experience will need to be observed, experienced, balanced, accepted, and seated within the individual. As the entity grows in self-acceptance and awareness of catalyst the location of the comfortable seating of these experiences will rise to the new true-color entity. The experience, whatever it may be, will be seated in red ray and considered as to its survival content and so forth.

as one incorporates more and more of 'reality' and the experiences that we attract (the ones that enter our field, and prompt mental reactions), our baseline attitude also starts to change. For someone with red-ray kundalini, for example, everything is about survival, it is fight-or-flight, 'I am being threatened', the world is a dangerous place, etc etc. This is the over-riding nature of the bulk of one's mental habits. Everything gets reshaped into this narrative of people are trying to hurt me, I am being attacked, threats are everywhere, I cannot survive. Survival Consciousness. And so on and so on, for kundalini consciousness that is raised to the orange centre, and onwards. It's a process of personal growth, and greater total integration of everything that happens to us, and that is offered to us via experience:

Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience.

so you can see that spiritual growth and change is not instantaneous. It's not a matter of applying one's Will in one forceful moment, or coming to one singular realization. It proceeds step by step, like a long journey, and we stop and pause to ascertain each experience along the way. And each experience ('food') can be utilised and digested for understandings that raise this locus, or meeting point of seeking consciousness (south pole light), and the downward drawn light of infinitely potentialised consciousness (north pole light).

the cosmic energies that we attract downwards, then become turned to the purposes of where our current state of beingness is. That becomes the narrative of our lives, and the stories and metaphors we share with others.

There are many. What come to mind right now is this:

"The positive polarity sees love in all things. The negative polarity is clever."

It's unfortunate that of love, wisdom, and power that is the strength of each of the L/L Research group members, the one who was most distorted towards wisdom is no longer with us...

Quote:40.1: ...Conversely, the blackness of the black hole, metaphysically speaking, is a concentration of white light being systematically absorbed once again into the One Creator. Finally, this absorption into the One Creator continues until all the infinity of creations have attained sufficient spiritual mass in order that all form once again the great central sun, if you would so imagine it, of the intelligent infinity awaiting potentiation by free will. Thus the transition of the octave is a process which may be seen to enter into timelessness of unimaginable nature. To attempt to measure it by your time measures would be useless.
