Breaking out of shame with the help of the Law of One, Michael Teachings, and the Enn

[Questioner]

I'm not familiar with the term Pymander.

The ultimate highest level of each type is enlightenment, responding intuitively and with all one's self in the moment, free of any preconditioned responses or stereotyped thoughts and feelings. This experience is larger than any vocabulary, so it has been described by many different people using their own words.

I just did a web search on Pymander and noticed this in the second link on Google's results. It seems to me this might be exactly the same vision that George Fox had, which I quoted in an earlier post in this thread.

And thereafter I saw the darkness changing into a Watery Substance, which was unspeakably tossed about.... But from the Light there came forth a holy Speech, which took its stand upon the Watery Substance, and methought this Word was the voice of the Light.

Which in turn corresponds to Genesis 1:2-3.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And those might be an experience of what Ra describes in session 13.

You must imagine a great leap of thought in this query, for at the last query the physical, as you call, it, universes were not yet born.

The energies moved in increasingly intelligent patterns until the individualization of various energies emanating from the creative principle of intelligent infinity became such as to be co-Creators. Thus the so-called physical matter began. The concept of light is instrumental in grasping this great leap of thought as this vibrational distortion of infinity is the building block of that which is known as matter, the light being intelligent and full of energy, thus being the first distortion of intelligent infinity which was called by the creative principle.

I imagine that the types might be compared to ocean waves that tend to travel in various directions. A person with a less evolved nature will drift along with whatever wave already happened to carry them along. The upper part of everyday life would be that we choose to use a rudder and turn our sails to choose our own direction.

At the highest level we'd have a balloon or aircraft that rises up above the waves. In human life we can't stay aloft forever, but we can get enough perspective, up into the Light, so that we set back down in a tide or current that is going in the direction we want to go now. And we can maintain enough buoyancy to not get sucked back into any particular wave tossing us back and forth.

I've only occasionally touched the closer edge of this kind of perspective. The key thing about it is that our old skills don't apply. Someone who got really masterful at using oars, to paddle through the water, will find that skill doesn't help much up in the sky.

Some visionaries are like a helicopter with a rope they can toss down. It takes a lot of courage and faith down in the boat to let go of the oars and grab the rope from up above, since that's totally different behavior than what got you this far. I do aspire to apply more of these lessons as my life progresses.

I hope the mixed metaphors aren't too muddled here.
