Multifaceted polarity.

[Unbound]

Well, my thoughts would then be, what does it mean to be united or to be separated?

Unity is such a focus of thought on this forum and that is interesting because so far as I have noticed for myself it is not even really clear what it means for us to be united with eachother. I suppose that is the whole point of the philosophy of the Law of One, however, to grasp at that.

IMO, Unity = Where everyone accepts each other and their will.

I would prefer to consider the left "Power over the Self" because when the outer edges are reached, the self is controlled in a blissful stability.

I would like to rename the graph altogether to make things more objective. The Disunity end is a path of disintegration but things can be culled to a point of stability and illusory unity. I think it's fruitful to consider the first-person perspective of the "darker" pathes.

Edit: The top should probably be "Acceptance of Others" and the bottom could be "Power over Others."

It is not necessarily of this experience, hence the struggle of the veil in yellow-ray.
When each one is two it is hard to be One..

Interesting question Tanner, thanks for asking it, looking forward to what others have to say about unity

For me, living in unity is recognizing that all we are all connected, beautiful cells of an infinite organism. Unity within is accepting oneself and treating oneself with love, unity without is unsurprisingly exactly the same, only with "others". Living in disunity or separation is rejecting parts of ourselves as well as others and I see it as a refusal to connect and co-create as one. It is a path of one versus the world and a vision that focuses on difference as a defining feature of the universe.

In my opinion, unity is the only way to reach the One Infinite Creator, although Creator is always within us. I should say on a conscious level.

Unity



Separation

[reeay]

lol we are all one, thus there is unity could be at the center of the circle. I don't see separation as antithetical to unity. Separation is the catalyst for learning. We are all one, period. If there were a circular cycle I could possibly see it as this:

Reject catalyst --> fragmentation --> accept catalyst --> integration
Unity at the center

And yes, it's spirals into the center (unity).

[Adonai One]

Rejecting catalyst will cause integration as well but inversely. Rejection leadings to compacting of the self. Acceptance leads to expansion of the self.

Your circle would make no differentiation between second-density life and an entity that has compacted itself.

When you speak of rejecting catalyst, what does rejection entail?

If I become paralyzed due to a physical injury severing all nerves and all movement below the neck, isn't possible to use that experience to increase one's yellow to manifest a future where they become one of the rare .01% healings - by keeping at the physical therapy, year after year. Isn't it also possible to use that experience primarily to accept the paralyzation (orange/green) and then focus one's life to matters that do not require movement? I'm thinking Stephen Hawkings-type situation here (though his was disease related, and probably pre-incarnative, but assuming it wasn't for the purposes of another example).

The example is just an example. But it seems, at first glance, there are many, many types of lessons one can draw from any given catalyst. Those involving primarily the yellow ray are usually more control/power oriented. Those primarily involving the green ray seem more acceptance oriented. There can be overlap as it is possible to accept the present and manifest one's different future I believe, but the question remains - aren't there multiple lessons for each and every catalyst? Certainly, after a series of catalysts, each subsequent catalyst will conform to addressing imbalances that continue to exist, but for any given catalyst, can the lessons not be chosen on a spectrum? There might be one perfect answer to each and every catalyst involving multiple concepts, but can't we select a focus on which concept to learn at any given time? I mean, I understand we're talking about infinity, unity, but for the reality on the ground of day to day catalyst, isn't there something to be said of the an analysis of a "pretty good" response and learning to catalyst instead of the "perfect" answer (where everyone possible imbalance the catalyst raises is immediately addressed)?

And I'm taking about non-incarnatively chosen catalysts, because as I understand there are different rules in play for pre-incarnative choices.

Rejecting catalyst will cause integration as well but inversely. Rejection leadings to compacting of the self. Acceptance leads to expansion of the self.

Your circle would make no differentiation between second-density life and an entity that has compacted itself.

Who are you to say who's circle or life experience includes or doesn't include anything? Sure you can make informed assumptions to stay on the trail of truth but like all before them the answers of the current time will fall away into something new, i.e the ebb and flow from center out and back in again.

There is no differentiation in truth, just separate stages of time. Doesn't mean your accrued understanding of the mechanism's that underlie the design, i.e the difference between a 2nd and 3rd density entity isn't taken in and accepted and used in the entities compounded view of m/b/s

I mean fragmentation and integration of self on the 3D level.

Thanks TS. I'll look at posting a picture of my dog Loki on the Pet thread later. Not at home now.
