What if Ra is a negative entity?

[Nicholas]

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.

They seem to be helpless because as long as they don't choose to be responsible for their thoughts and deeds, all events seem to happen to them rather than from them. There is a perpetual cycle of relative harmony/disharmony until this vicious circle is broken by effort to see the self and others honestly.

What I have also noticed is the more you appeal to them with honest and respectful communication the more defensive and entrenched they seem to become. It's almost jaw dropping when you explain how they are coming across and a personal judgement is perceived. Then they continue to project exactly what you were attempting to reveal. It really helps you to understand why Ra put "truly" before "helpless", and why it is "impossible" to help another self directly. You end up exhausted, confused, and sometimes even doubt your own perspective due to the onslaught of defensive rhetoric. It's like they have a white knuckle, double handed grip on certain ideas or values, and are totally incognizant of what they are worshipping.
