We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[Ohr Ein Sof]

So even when one is physically alone working, even when there is no actual in-person contact, one can still have the embracing energy of unity with others.

Good point. However an Amazon seller isn't really an island unto themselves.  They are surrounded by a network of people who greatly enrich their mental social landscape, and so while the people in the seller's orbit do not appear in the flesh, they still effectuate catalytic action for the seller. I wonder how your analogy would apply, if possible, on the person stranded alone on an island?

.... Those who attempt to accelerate towards the good are deliberately giving up more and more of their individuality and taking on more and more of the love and power of that central sun source. (my emphasis)

I'd reason that this giving up of individuality on the positive path is what creates the level of power we need to be harvested. It might be possible to give up your individuality as a lone individual working on the self. But I imagine it's easier to dial it in when others are not only reflecting your progress back to you but also filling in the blanks of what the alternative identity might be which displaces individual identity. That would make letting go of the ego less scary, I'd think, but I could be mistaken.

Interesting that Hatonn uses the term individuality. SF also quoted channeled material which used different terms to explain a similar thing, I think...

Q'uo  https://llresearch.org/transcripts/issue..._0414.aspx

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.

 

And yet none of these things can be said to be accurate in the absolute sense, when taken into account the definition of the unmanifested being as that being which exists and does its work without reference to or aid from other-selves.(71.5). So egoic structures are not truly self-sufficient in that they are referential by nature, and a "cultural concept of individuality" by its definition relies on culture. So, I don't see it so much as being a "leaving-behind" of self-sufficiency or individuality, but the lies we tell ourselves about these concepts.

How is there true individuality in the Law of One where all is the One Infinite Creator, and the pinnacle of seeking is to become the most humble servant of all (74.11)? And yet, each unmanifested self is unique (66.20). And so, to truly merge with one's other-selves while also retaining one's uniqueness, would require a large amount of light-strength and integrity, I would imagine. It could even be said that the difference of third density to fourth is that in third we are merged while not retaining our uniqueness or full awareness or full glory, and that this is the cause for much of the suffering we experience here. Maybe part of transitioning to fourth is the conscious realisation that we were unified all along, much more so than we could ever imagine, through the mass mind.

I believe in 4th density we can retain our unique qualities because we still have all of our unique experiences found in one's soul stream still with us the only difference being, is that we are not subject to linear time any longer and therefore our past and future is now the present moment. I do not think that we surrender our unique qualities until 7th density.

The latter part of your comment reminded me of how unique we truly are and the MBS truly being a Complex.

Being alone in meditation contains differences than trying to perform ritual magic (not to be confused with "ritual").
Even the Bible states that the Power is found when two or more are gathered and of course like you have said regarding the trio; Don, Carla and Jim providing protection through harmony and love while each bringing with them their unique talents that blended well in the work they were taking part in. It was truly a unique balance and one not readily found as Ra had looked for many years trying to locate this unique mixture which obviously sang a special chord of harmony when these three were together. (for the particular work they would be doing)

I am noted for my laziness when adding a comment and I simply stated "protection" when later I thought, "self, it is also power along with protection and a blending of frequencies that produce a certian harmony for this type of work. You should have added that!"

Again, meditation certainly can be done alone or with many and both being quite effective.
The man on an island alone, is he alone really? It may appear so but as we all have come to understand, appearances do not mean much when learning the truth. This human that sits on an island alone is always accompanied by his guides from cradle to death, The Creator and a collection of infinite sources.
