What if Ra is a negative entity?

[anagogy]

i don't like how the material teaches that those who have not "consciously chosen" a polarity are "truly helpless"...i don't get how it could be better to consciously choose the STS path than to consciously/unconsciously choose no path or to unconsciously choose the STO path.

to me, this particular teaching doesn't come across as something a positive entity would teach.

I think in the context of the rest of the quote it seems very positive, but outside of that framing I could see how it might come across as less so.

The further an entity has, what you would call, polarized, the more easily this entity may change polarity, for the more power and awareness the entity will have.

Those truly helpless are those who have not consciously chosen but who repeat patterns without knowledge of the repetition or the meaning of the pattern.

Repeating patterns without understanding of the repetition seems a very helpless state from my perspective. Sort of like if you kept putting your hand on a hot stove, but didn't understand that it was the source of your pain. You would be helplessly repeating a destructive pattern and the only thing that could free you was conscious awareness of what you were doing, which would allow you the choice to not engage in the pattern any longer. Polarity, whether positive or negative, is a raising of the pranic meeting point of inner/outer energy which results in a higher state of consciousness, which allows for a greater array of choice.
