Pet investment

[Nicholas]

You seem to be saying that maintaining eye contact = acceptance of offered light. Why do you think he was declining your offer of light just because he looked away?

I'd say he is accepting your offer of light on a daily basis. He also showed it in this instance, which his snuggling and purring.

Also, I don't quite follow what you're saying. You mention investing in higher-2D entities, but what has that to do with 'controlling' their harvest?

Okay I need to explain how I interpreted the experience a little better here. I think I should begin with making it clear that this is my subjective interpretation of the experience. At the time I was studying Ra, specifically the part about pet investment and how our close proximity and interaction accelerates the process of them becoming self aware or individuated. As he was sitting next to me I recalled an earlier part of Ra's recommended exercises regarding the "see the creator", as being "an helpful exercise". So this was the context, I was attempting to see the creator and I focused my gaze on his left pupil. His pupil however immediately dilated  so the reason I believe he declined to maintain eye contact is for the same reason we would look away from a light bulb as we slowly turned up the dimmer switch. Obviously I am comparing a physical scenario with a perceived metaphysical one. If we were to gaze at a light bulb and increase its watt output, the inverse would occur, our pupils would contract.

Optic effects

When bright light is shone on the eye, light sensitive cells in the retina, including rod and cone photoreceptors and melanopsin ganglion cells, will send signals to the oculomotor nerve, specifically the parasympathetic part coming from the Edinger-Westphal nucleus, which terminates on the circular iris sphincter muscle. When this muscle contracts, it reduces the size of the pupil. This is the pupillary light reflex, which is an important test ofbrainstem function. Furthermore, the pupil will dilate if a person sees an object of interest.

Finally I did not mean to suggest that we control their harvest, merely that I felt the experience was an insight into our harvest that Ra describes with the steps of light scenario.

VanAlioSaldo understood what I was trying to imply... 

"I agree with Nick on his remark of how beings handle harvest.  We can look away on our own accord.  I wonder how many will try to forcefully see the brightness."
