The famous Ra's poker game metaphor that we all know about.

Questioner: Thank you. Can you expand on the concept which is this: that it is necessary for an entity to, during incarnation in the physical as we call it, become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when he is aware of what he wants to do, but why must he come into an incarnation and lose memory, conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way that he hopes to act? Could you expand on that please?

Why do we have an interest in polarity ?

Why polarize at all ?

Why is such a thing required ?

Why do we have to experience the veiling ?

Why lose our memory ?

Why lose the knowledge of the reasons we had to come here ?

Why do we need to expose ourselves to the possibility of suffering ?

Why does evil even have a chance to exist in the first place ?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.

Without the veil of forgetfulness, we see all the consequences of any and all actions we may do and all thoughts we may have.

So we will choose correctly no matter what catalysts we are presented with.

It seems that before incarnating here, we thought that this had no interest.

We wanted to see what we would choose if we did not know of the consequences.

In time/space and in the true-color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.

In time/space of third density and in space/time and time/space of all densities starting from the fourth (green), we know all the thoughts and memories of all the entities we interact with.

No one lies or even wants to lie. No one wants to hide anything at all from anyone.

So of course, there is harmony but very little polarity.

Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin — and we stress begin — to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc.

The game is our incarnation here in 3d.

Our cards are the biases we brought with us and the catalysts we programmed for ourselves.

Our cards are also the possible choices we have at each moment in each catalyst we face.

We MAY become aware that we are playing a game within our incarnation.

We may BEGIN to become aware of the biases and the kind of catalysts/lessons we wanted to learn before we incarnated.

We may begin to search for love.

We may begin to balance. Balance our pleasure, our limitations, etc. Balance our self, as in begin to know our self with more finesse.

However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.

BUT we cannot know any of this for other people.

We can only build a model, a representation for ourselves, of what someone else biases and choices might be.

You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game.

We cannot know what we really wanted to learn.

We cannot know who we really are.

We cannot know what others really wants to learn.

We cannot know who other people really are. They do not even know this themselves.

We do not even remember that this is a game ! That our incarnations were meant to be fun, as games are supposed to be.

We certainly cannot know how the mechanics of this game works.

This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love

The only positive way to make obsolete the need to incarnate here...

;can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love.

The only positive way to make obsolete the need to incarnate here...is to release all masks and be who you are. To let the light show ALL angles of your self.

Then accept others as they are.

There is no one to convince of anything.

There is nothing one is supposed to be doing.

There is no need to worry about wars.

The murderers are to be loved and accepted and forgiven. Without us trying to change them.

When our light falls onto others, and shows things we may think is ugly.

Then we simply have to realize that it is not ugly and only the model we built of these things is ugly.

Change this model, this perspective within you.

Once you are done, nothing is ugly anymore.

All is well always.

Whomever we are, whatever we do or did, whatever is happening around us, we love each others.

Then we win !

This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.

None of this would be possible without incarnating under the veil of forgetfulness.

"Why do we have an interest in polarity ?"

We did not actually at first. STO and STS only appeared after the veiling was invented by a Logos.

It was not even imagined before it was experienced.

"Why polarize at all ?"
"Why is such a thing required ?"

Because now that the veil exists, it resulted in the need for a choice between STO and STS. We ALL have to make that choice, we ALL have to polarize.

"Why do we have to experience the veiling ?"
"Why lose our memory ?"
"Why lose the knowledge of the reasons we had to come here ?"

Without it we could not be playing this game.

"Why do we need to expose ourselves to the possibility of suffering ?"
"Why does evil even have a chance to exist in the first place ?"

These are only after effects of the veiling process.

There is actually no need for suffering.

There is no need for STS. It only exists because a part of each of us does not want to face the rest of us. Since something else than what is real is available, a part of us chooses this over reality.
