Positive/negative interpretations of a catalyst

[Ankh]

Very good job, Lana.
I do like Ra when presented like that.
Easy on the eyes and brain.

(have you ever thought of writing a comic book on the Law of One? or an illustrated childrens book?)

Thank you, sweety!

Maybe I will write that childrens book when I am retired and old and have lots of time enjoying the last days of this density in some spiritual ashram or community!! Will you be there?

I've always wondered about this sentence though:
"This may be seen to be of a full travel from negative to positive in orientation."

I don't really understand what that means. Does anybody have any ideas?

As I understand this quote, it is about an entity who thinks that s/he is personally correct in regards to issues that has to do with society where the entity feels/thinks that s/he is personally correct or if the configurations of power/issues in the society would be put in more "right" configurations (according to this entity's thinking) then it will be a full travel from a negative to positive oriented situation/society. BUT either way, it will still be an activation of orange and/or yellow energy center/centers, and not the green ray, which is an universal, freely given love.

the way I read it is that the intent behind it matters.. if your wish to change society stems from orange / yellow ray, aka power issues etc. then it is negative.
if you however come from the heart, aka spread your love in every corner of the universe and are not attached to a specific outcome (aka your plans being put into practice, like in the yellow ray issue - modifying the planet according to what you think is best) then it would be positive.
Is that what you meant, Ankh?

That was an excellent explanation, M! Much better than mine! This is how I see it too.

I also liked what Tenet wrote:

The above quote has awakened fascination in me each time when reading and contemplating it. The desire to aid society, or this planetary consciousness, is an intention to freely give universal love...

That's an interesting take on that quote. My read is that the desire to aid society may originate from any of the rays, or combination thereof. But the purest green-ray response would be to offer universal love. The attempt to change society through education or political activity would be more of a yellow-ray response. But there are no hard and fast rules, since there is overlap of intention among the rays.

Like Tenet said here, there might be an overlap of intentions among the rays. And I understand that this dynamic is probably most common. The orientation is mixed and not purified. The desire to aid society or another self for that matter, may be mixed in orientation and originate from combinations of the rays. But Ra said that "there are some few whose desires to aid society are of a green-ray nature or above. These entities, however, are few due to the understanding, may we say, of fourth ray that universal love freely given is more to be desired than principalities or even the rearrangement of peoples or political structures."

But as Tenet also said, there is no right or wrong. If an entity feels called or compelled to an action, then all is well, even when the catalyst is not used:

We do whatever we feel called to do. There is no right or wrong about this. For one who feels compelled to political action, the appropriate catalyst will be offered. It's just not a purely green-ray response to the situation.

Also, I might suggest that the witnessing of suffering could be just as much catalyst for love or faith as it is compassion. Personally speaking, when I see suffering, having faith that "All is Well" is much more difficult for me, than to respond with compassion.

But in truth there is no right and wrong, and as long as an entity uses the catalyst for its growth, then all is well and as it's supposed to be.

Exactly. And even if the catalyst goes unused, all is still well.

But again, the purity of positive orientation and desire to aid the society from the green ray is what I also believe to be completely positive, Meerie.

What do you guys think?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Beautiful, Tenet!

hi lana.
great thoughts dear. shin did a post recently which opened up something for me. he said this planet is supposed to be polarized. there is no way to avoid it. the polarity is providing for us the learning experiences and pushing us more and more to one pole or the other.
a perfect example. someone loses someone dear to them to cancer. now the survivor has a choice. i can become bitter, and blame god and let that bitterness close my heart. or lets say i am the child of the one who passed. i can become a doctor and dedicate myself to the curing of cancer.
the choice is ours. it is not easy i would never say that. i struggle very very much with the presence of what i consider to be evil. on the other hand if i give my attention only to evil what good does that do. better that i should try to help and uplift my fellow man in some way. it will make both them and myself feel better if i do it with a pure heart

Beautiful post, my brother! Namaste.
