We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Sacred Fool]

I wonder if there eventually comes a point where (in keeping with the analogy) we all must learn to sing with the choir.

42.18 Questioner: Then in attempting to reproduce this experience would I then best follow practices for the Order of the Golden Dawn in reproducing this?

Ra: I am Ra. To attempt to reproduce an initiatory experience is to move, shall we say, backwards. However, the practice of this form of service to others is appropriate in your case working with your associates. It is not well for positively polarized entities to work singly. The reasons for this are obvious.

Well, these reasons are not so obvious to me. Why is it not well for STO selves to work singly? Ideas?

Hi there.

Well, you may be conflating two different lines of thought here.  One is a general convergence of positive beings and the other is suggestions when performing "ritual magic."  The quote above pertains to the latter.  I expect that, because the questioner was wholly new to swimming in this discipline, Ra was suggesting that he not just jump into the deep end of pool without helpful resources standing by.

As to the former, mirrors are helpful, to be sure.  Here's a different take on the matter, one pertaining to a more advanced level of spiritual maturity, to use Hatonn's term.

However, to one who has indeed cast aside arrogance, the voice of spirit becomes quite audible and there is a liveness of interchange that is not possible while the egoic structure of the personality shell retains its knowledge of its self-sufficiency.

We speak as if there is a “we” and a “they,” a “you” and an “I.” And this is not precisely correct. For there is an ever-flowing movement of energy along lines of force which are created by your thoughts and feelings rather than there being a dynamic of two.

You are experiencing ways of structuring the self so that it may be known to the self. We do not wish to take away every structure of your thoughts in an instant. Rather, we would that you would conceive of this journey as a dance. It is a dance in which your movements express a gradual increase in your ability to be naked and without personality.

In the privacy and the intimacy of your silent meditation, allow all to fall away as it will and sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. And then sit with that which is left until it, too, falls away. Repeat this process until when you sit, you simply sit.

 
Perhaps this part of the question comes down to efficient use of catalyst?  Sometimes one can hear the messages when faintly whispered, while at other times one requires screaming and yelling for the ears to open, as Jeremy was alluding to above. 

This quote immediately above suggests to me that, in meditation, although one appears to be alone within, in another sense, in singing the song of one's deepest vibration, one's consciousness is, indeed, singing with all. 

This is not meant to be an advancement of an anti-Eisenstinian thesis.  I toss it out here for the sake of balance.
