To the extent that a rock thinks it is a rock, or a sparrow thinks it is a sparrow, or wind thinks it is the wind, it will be limited by the limitations intrinsic to that form. (By "think", i don't intend the term as we would use it. I mean whatever sensory/perception intelligence each manifestation has at its own level.) What distinguishes the human from lower stages of oneness-development is its capacity to transcend its bodily form, consciously recognizing that it's identity is much greater than a simple physical entity. Its range of free will expands accordingly.
rock doesnt know how to be a sparrow. sparrow doesnt know how to be a human.
its not they chose and limited themselves to various manifestations and 'remembering', but they are approaching infinity from the finite side. they are finite, and learning to be infinite gradually.
this wouldnt change with 'there are others than me' understanding and abstract thought capability of the 3d entity. even if the entity is much more conducive now to various other states of being, it still doesnt know a lot of other states of being.
Quote:s Ra indicates, acceptance of seeming limitation is also critical in the vertical movement of spiritual evolution, as symbolized by the crux ansata:
except that the ll group were a group of wanderers. they are remembering the things they learned before, knew, and then forgot while incarnating. they arent 2d entities newly graduating into 3d.
Quote:Other ways to convey "valued by the losing" include:
--Accepting what IS, limitation included.
--Releasing our attachments and desires for something other than what is, including releasing our resistance to limitation.
these can only work for wanderers, and up to the point of their own natural level of advancement in relation to their own density. they cant go further than their own level, in their own density themselves. until they learn other states of being, and get closer to infinity.
Quote:Free will, will have its full range in the great circle of being as it traverses octaves and densities. As we are every thing, every entity, every emotion, every situation, every etc., we will have/are having/have had the opportunity of choosing infinite permutations under the sun, including being the sun.
going in circles would be a different kind of limitation, and, if it is to manifest infinity, it cannot be like that. to be infinite it needs to be infinite. that also would mean the free will may not go in circles.
Quote:Recall that the entity who knows itself as the Creator is, "...basically capable of walking the universe with unfettered tread." - 48.9, Ra.
That knowing, however, is preceded by many experiences of limitation.
note please, it says 'walking the universe with unfettered tread'. not infinity.
so, that entity who knows itself as the creator is, will still not be treading infinity in unfettered steps. there are still limitations.
the only way to be infinity, is to be infinity. and, only infinity is infinity. for a finite entity becoming infinite, infinite amount of time (or change) is needed. thus, the journey to infinity is, infinite.
we will never pass the same path again.
