Arranging opportunities?

[YinYang]

Thanks Gary, yeah, the way you pulled everything together, just makes me shake my head in wonderment at all the events leading up to the contact.

However, Ra does seem to indicate elsewhere (I'm not recalling the exact quote) that opportunities continually not taken will be eventually not offered.

Perhaps you were thinking of this, when Don was questioning about life spans:

Questioner: I’m assuming at the start of one of these cycles there could have been either a positive polarization that would generally occur over the 25 [thousand] years or a negative polarization. Is the reason for the negative polarization and the shortening of the cycle the influx of entities from Mars who had already polarized somewhat negatively?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. There was not a strong negative polarization due to this influx. The lessening of the life span was due primarily to the lack of the building up of positive orientation. When there is no progress those conditions which grant progress are gradually lost. This is one of the difficulties of remaining unpolarized. The chances, shall we say, of progress become steadily less.

And this is an important point:

The difficulty and danger with notions like this is that it might reinforce paranoiac delusions of those who interpret their immediate world, or the world at large, as one which conspires against them in the attempt to trick, steal, enslave, limit, etc.

It was Carla's attitude that saved her when she went for a walk and couldn't breathe for about thirty seconds...

Ra: It is well that this instrument is not distorted towards what you may call hysteria, for the potential of this working was such that had the instrument allowed fear to become greater than the will to persevere when it could not breathe, each attempt at respiration would have been even more nearly impossible until the suffocation occurred which was desired by the one which greets you in its own way. Thus the entity would have passed from this incarnation.
