The Choice

[JustLikeYou]

There is also nothing prohibiting us from selectively ignoring information that directly contradicts our biases.

Precisely. I have accounted for your claim to contradiction. Your response to me has been nothing but textual hair-splitting. None of this theorization matters except in practice.

Remember the comedy of the two methods of service. STO doesn't see the service offered by STS as helpful. Similarly, STS doesn't see the service offered by STO as helpful. This creates an impenetrable barrier between the two paths. They cannot possibly harmonize into one until it the methods of service become so subtle and expansive that they are discovered to be one. This doesn't happen here. It happens in 6D.

STO and STS both occur within the field of STC (Service to the Creator), but the paths do not overlap. Frankly, I find your diagram to be a pale and single-dimensional representation of something with many more variables.

We are within the illusion, my friend. And within this illusion, there is no escape from duality. Ra says himself that the paradoxes are not resolved here. They are only accepted. An inescapable paradox is an inescapable duality. You will have your higher view when you get back to 6D, but for now, you are here.

We keep repeating the same patterns over and over again precisely because humanity is "stuck" on this dualistic idea of choosing between two sides. Good and evil. STS and STO. It's really all the same thing that keeps getting repackaged with different terminologies.

I simply do not understand how you rationalize your way out of the hard truth that this is the density of Choice. And that in this density, one polarity is chosen over another. You don't get to move beyond this fact unless you "penetrate the eighth level," something that I doubt any of us here have done. If we had, I imagine we'd have no interest in posting on message boards, but would rather enjoy a simple life without any particular concern, meditating, exploring Intelligent Infinity, and being generously willing to assist anyone who should happen to find us and seek assistance. In other words, imagine a perfectly balanced Master. Imagine a Buddha, a Jesus Christ, a Lao Tzu. Do you occupy this vibration yet? If not, then you still have 3D lessons to learn. Probably an abundance of them. Symptomatically, the Masters always recognize when their service is desired and when it is not desired.

A perfect example of a misapprehension, projected but unrecognized:

The Law of One blinks neither at the light or the darkness, but is available for service to others and service to self.

Therefore, if we find ourselves blinking, we can be sure that we have lost sight of the Law of One.

We, ourselves, are not the Law of One. We, and the illusion in which we exist, are distortions of the Law of One. One of the distortions which is an integral part of our illusion is the distinction between STO and STS. The Law of One does not prefer one path over the other, but this does not mean that we are alleviated from choosing one path over the other. If we vibrate with the Law of One, we will certainly not assert one path as preferable to the other. But this still does not mean we can avoid choosing one over the other.

What benefit will a pure concept of unity without difference net you in a world of duality? Unity is the synthesis, but every synthesis depends upon an opposition which it synthesizes. Attempting to live on Earth but reject the very real duality of this illusion will lead you directly to insanity.

Why do you assume that STO/STS = good/bad? Why must you smuggle a concept of judgment into a concept of pure ethical distinction? I prefer STO. Must I prefer it because I think that STS is bad? This kind of motivation will never stick. No one ever changes because they feel they should change. People only change because they want to. I choose STO because I prefer it. That's it. George Bush chosoes STS because he prefers it. Why must he see me as bad?

This identification of judgment concepts with purely ethical concepts is the source of an enormous abundance of misapprehension concerning the Ra Material.

FYI, I feel like this post is more pointed and combative that I'd like it to be. But I don't have the time to change it. I will simply add an addendum:

I am perfectly amenable to the possibility that our disagreement is a matter of vocabulary and not substance. My sharp demeanor notwithstanding, I'm interested in pursuing the line of inquiry with an open mind.
