the further I progress on this spiritual journey, the more I become aware that even very simple misunderstandings can be magnified into grave and magnifique distortions in self and behaviour.

one example, I believe, comes from Ra and the heads of Easter Island. Now, according to them, these gigantic heads were the doing of the Orion forces, which constructed them via telepathy (if telepathy is the right word for it).

the actual images that were chosen for the heads were selected for their ability to install 'AWE' in the viewer; and from a particular viewpoint (if the viewer is inclined to feelings of disempowerment), that direct physical confrontation with 'AWE' could lead down to a self-service path.

but how could such a thing happen? I mean, its just a big piece of rock right, with a face on it, yes?

Ra explains themselves:

* who and how the stones were constructed:

Quote:20.34 Questioner: Well, then, did Orion entities do this themselves? Did they, did they land in physical, or did they do it from mental planes, or did they use one of the incarnate entities to construct these by thought?

Ra: I am Ra. Nearly all of these structures and formations were constructed at a distance by thought. A very few were created in later times in imitation of original constructs by entities upon your Earth plane/density.

Quote:20.32 Questioner: How would such stone heads influence a people to take the path of service to self?

Ra: I am Ra. Picture, if you will, the entities living in such a way that their mind/body/spirit complexes are at what seems to be the mercy of forces which they cannot control.

Given a charged entity such as a statue or a rock formation charged with nothing but power, it is possible for the free will of those viewing this particular structure or formation to ascribe to this power, power over those things which cannot be controlled.

This, then, has the potential for the further distortion to power over other-selves.

Quote:20.33 Questioner: How were these stone heads constructed?

Ra: I am Ra. These were constructed by thought after a scanning of the deep mind, the trunk of mind tree, looking at the images most likely to cause the experience of awe in the viewer.

Has anyone tried constructing the age reversal chamber? (59.17-20)

Quote:15.12 Questioner: How does an individual go about balancing himself? What is the first step?
Ra: I am Ra. The steps are only one; that is, an understanding of the energy centers which make up the mind/body/spirit complex. This understanding may be briefly summarized as follows. The first balancing is of the Malkuth, or Earth, vibratory energy complex, called the red-ray complex. An understanding and acceptance of this energy is fundamental. The next energy complex, which may be blocked is the emotional, or personal complex, also known as the orange-ray complex. This blockage will often demonstrate itself as personal eccentricities or distortions with regard to self-conscious understanding or acceptance of self.

The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray or solar plexus center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power manipulation and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex. Those with blockages in these first three energy centers, or nexi, will have continuing difficulties in ability to further their seeking of the Law of One.

The center of heart, or green ray, is the center from which third-density beings may springboard, shall we say, towards infinite intelligence. Blockages in this area may manifest as difficulties in expressing what you may call universal love or compassion.

The blue-ray center of energy streaming is the center which, for the first time, is outgoing as well as inpouring. Those blocked in this area may have difficulty in grasping the spirit/mind complexes of its own entity and further difficulty in expressing such understandings of self. Entities blocked in this area may have difficulties in accepting communication from other mind/body/spirit complexes.

The next center is the pineal or indigo-ray center. Those blocked in this center may experience a lessening of the influx of intelligent energy due to manifestations which appear as unworthiness. This is that of which you spoke. As you can see, this is but one of many distortions due to the several points of energy influx into the mind/body/spirit complex. The indigo-ray balancing is quite central to the type of work which revolves about the spirit complex, which has its influx then into the transformation or transmutation of third density to fourth density, it being the energy center receiving the least distorted outpourings of love/light from intelligent energy and having also the potential for the key to the gateway of intelligent infinity.

The remaining center of energy influx is simply the total expression of the entity’s vibratory complex of mind, body, and spirit. It is as it will be, “balanced” or “imbalanced” has no meaning at this energy level, for it gives and takes in its own balance. Whatever the distortion may be, it cannot be manipulated as can the others and, therefore, has no particular importance in viewing the balancing of an entity.

this is what Ra offers on the red ray center:

Quote:50.2 The only specific part of this correctness is that the red-ray or foundation energy center, being the lowest or root energy center of the physical vehicle, will have the first opportunity to react to any experience. In this way only, you may see a physical locus of the south pole being identified with the root energy center. In every facet of mind and body the root or foundation will be given the opportunity to function first.

What is this opportunity but survival? This is the root possibility of response and may be found to be characteristic of the basic functions of both mind and body. You will find this instinct the strongest, and once this is balanced much is open to the seeker. The south pole then ceases blocking the experiential data and higher energy centers of mind and body become availed of the opportunity to use the experience drawn to it.

In the LOO Ra states that "holes" can exist within the "spirit energy field" (which I assume is a property of the spiritual body?) of an entity. It is asserted in the Ra material that these holes can be the product of the "ingestion of chemicals such as, what this instrument would call LSD".

Now, just what constitutes the "spirit energy field" (I know it's not material but you know what I mean) and why would a psychedelic chemical cause such a disruption as to tear a hole? Most psychedelics, LSD included are noteworthy for the dramatic effect they induce on consciousness while being almost completely non toxic and being able to exit the body without a trace. Yet they seem very dangerous to the spirit complex, is this danger due to mind more than body? Does the ingestion and resultant change in thought pattern cause stimulation of some kind in the spirit complex that can be "overcharged"?

Also, is there any indication in the material as to if the holes permanent?

The idea that entheogens can "fragment your aura" is a pretty popular idea in new age circles so if there's any info on this topic from another source I would be glad to hear it.

Edit: Also on the holes in general, is anyone aware of what could cause one in an individual who has not ingested psychedelics, is it perhaps by the same mechanism stimulated by psychedelics?

Quote:6.1 Questioner: We would like to continue the material from yesterday. We had to cease before [inaudible].

Ra: I am Ra. This is well with us.
...
The healing ability, like all other, what this instrument would call paranormal abilities, is effected by the opening of a pathway or shuttle into intelligent infinity. There are many upon your plane who have a random hole or gateway in their spirit energy field, sometimes created by the ingestion of chemicals such as, what this instrument would call LSD, who are able, randomly and without control, to tap into energy sources. They may or may not be entities who wish to serve. The purpose of carefully and consciously opening this channel is to serve in a more dependable way, in a more commonplace or usual way, as seen by the distortion complex of the healer. To others there may appear to be miracles. To the one who has carefully opened the door to intelligent infinity this is ordinary; this is commonplace; this is as it should be. The life experience becomes somewhat transformed and the great work goes on....

Ra doesn't have any issue using the word 'desire'.

In fact, there are 187 instances of it, no small number.

Ra uses it in a neutral fashion, to indicate the 'thing wanted'.

I have always attached a more negative overtone to the word, as if it represented something selfish, and self-serving. But that stance has moderated somewhat.

on a closer reading of the Core Statement of Buddhism, the 4 Noble Truths, it is not desire that is the cause of the suffering, but rather the attachment to that desire which causes the issues.

Quote:Four Noble Truths

1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering arises from attachment to desires
3. Suffering ceases when attachment to desire ceases
4. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the Eightfold Path

I read the thread about catalysts today and I discovered this quote of Q'uo where he talks about soul contracts:

Quote:There is a causative factor inherent in the carefully made agreements that were entered into before incarnation. Biases were set up in the very currents of destiny surrounding the particular nexus of energies that represents the opportunity for an incarnation. When the body and parents and so forth are chosen, this nexus becomes potentiated and that particular little destiny that is your pre-game game plan clicks into place and begins to unroll the scroll of space/time as you, as an entity, enter into a body, become embodied and enfleshed, take form by birth and begin to unravel the great tale that is the story of your life.

Quote:59.3 Questioner: I have a question from Jim that states: “I think I have penetrated the mystery of my lifelong anger at making mistakes. I think I have always been aware subconsciously of my abilities to master new learnings, but my desire to successfully complete my mission on Earth has been energized by the Orion group into irrational and destructive anger when I fail. Could you comment on this observation?”

Ra: I am Ra. We would suggest that as this entity is aware of its position as a Wanderer, it may also consider what pre-incarnative decisions it undertook to make regarding the personal or self-oriented portion of the choosing to be here at this particular time/space. This entity is aware, as stated, that it has great potential, but potential for what? This is the pre-incarnative question. The work of sixth density is to unify wisdom and compassion. This entity abounds in wisdom. The compassion it is desirous of balancing has, as its antithesis, lack of compassion. In the more conscious being this expresses or manifests itself as lack of compassion for self. We feel this is the sum of suggested concepts for thought which we may offer at this time without infringement.

Quote:66.34 Questioner: This planet, to me, seems to be what I would call a cesspool of distortions. This includes all diseases and malfunctions of the physical body in general. It would seem to me that, on the average, this planet would be very, very high on the list if we just took the overall amount of these problems. Am I, is my feeling correct in this assumption?

Ra: I am Ra. We will review previous material.

Catalyst is offered to the entity. If it is not used by the mind complex it will then filter through to the body complex and manifest as some form of physical distortion. The more efficient the use of catalyst, the less physical distortion to be found.

There are, in the case of those you call Wanderers, not only a congenital difficulty in dealing with the third-density vibratory patterns but also a recollection, however dim, that these distortions are not necessary or usual in the home vibration.

We over-generalize as always, for there are many cases of pre-incarnative decisions which result in physical or mental limitations and distortions, but we feel that you are addressing the question of widespread distortions towards misery of one form or another. (...)

Quote:ATS: I have never seen a UFO or any of this spiritual stuff myself. I just know in my heart that it's there for me to find. What can I do if anything to get myself in the correct frequency to see these things and have these experiences. Any and all information you provide will be greatly appreciated.

HH: Simply believe, and know in your heart of their existence. Think about it. In all of this vast Creation, can you really believe that you are alone? I will pre-warn you though, so as to avoid disappointment, you will only receive communication from them, if that is something you have already agreed together in your Soul Contract before coming here.

I have found that the nature of catalyst is that it is as symbolic as one's dreams; ie, the surface presentation is not the actual catalyst (or rather it is the trigger, and the pointer). It is the smoke that is given off by the fire deeper below.

so quite often, we see the smoke, and interact with it, argue with it, exchange words with it, but it never gets to the level where the smoke can actually be addressed; ie working with the fire that is the origin of the smoke.

its the classic addressing the symptoms vs addressing the cause that our medical system is more founded on.

and here, in this analogy, even addressing the symptoms (the smoke) has zero effect, as interacting with smoke just waves it around; you can't actually 'change it' per se.

the fire down below, the imbalance, the root distortion, the emotional turmoil - that is where the locus of true action lies.

the catalyst may indeed be the pointer and the trigger (the smoke we can smell, see, and that interferes with a clear consciousness), but look just one step further down, and you will see the fire that is the causation.

address that, and the smoke disappears.

you can't fight with smoke and expect to win

"Words" are a technology created by our logos. True or false?

Do "words" exist in 4th and higher densities?

If not, is there any way we can comprehend the thought or mind structure availlable in these densities?

Quote:15.7 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.
