The mysterious nature of time

[Ankh]

I always wondered what it was which is 'that which is not'. Then, one day, it struck me (subjectively) that it could be fear. When the connection is total, there is no place for fear due to the realization of oneness with all of creation. However, behind the veil, fear can be potentiated, which provides the fuel for the work to be done on the path of STS (in my opinion).

82.22 Questioner: Then since the only possibility at this particular time, as I see it, was a polarization for service to others, I must assume from what you said that even though all were aware of this service to others necessity they were unable to achieve it. What was the configuration of mind of the mind/body/spirits at that time? Why did they have such a difficult time serving others to the extent necessary for graduation since this was the only polarity possible?

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, the tendency of those who are divinely happy, as you call this distortion, to have little urge to alter or better their condition. Such is the result of the mind/body/spirit which is not complex. There is the possibility of love of other-selves and service to other-selves, but there is the overwhelming awareness of the Creator in the self. The connection with the Creator is that of the umbilical cord. The security is total. Therefore, no love is terribly important; no pain terribly frightening; no effort, therefore, is made to serve for love or to benefit from fear.

Nice catch of "...*or* benefit from fear" in that quote, Confused! So you understand that part as fuel for the work on the negative path? Can you explain more how you are thinking? (I was thinking that negatively polarized beings benefit from fear on their path, that causing fear benefits them on that service to self path.)

Then, it lead me to reflect on the following question --

95.22 Questioner: And it seems that the square upon which the entity sits, which is almost totally black, is a representation of the material illusion and the white cat is guarding the right-hand path which is now separated in experience from the left. Would Ra comment on that observation?

Ra: I am Ra. O student, your sight almost sees that which was intended. However, the polarities need no guardians. What, then, O student, needs the guard?

What needs the guard? That question haunted me for quite a while, and then, once again, subjectively, it struck that it could simply be this --

95.24 Questioner: From that statement I interpret the following. If the Experience of the Mind has sufficiently chosen the right-hand path, and as total purity is approached in the choosing of the right-hand path, then total imperviousness from the effect of the left-hand catalyst is also approached. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is exquisitely perceptive. The seeker which has purely chosen the service-to-others path shall certainly not have a variant apparent incarnational experience. There is no outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.

However, to the pure, all that is encountered speaks of the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator. The cruelest blow is seen with an ambiance of challenges offered and opportunities to come. Thusly, the great pitch of light is held high above such an one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by light.

Thus, for those on the STO path, it is the interpretations of the catalysts that needs the guard (personal deduction, of course), so that the interpretations may be protected by light.

Interesting thoughts! When looking deeper into this Archetype, I thought that this protection is from random catalyst, which I explained in this post. I then later had an experience of these cats. But you're right, and add a dimension to this that I have to think about.
