1. After reading the Law of One, do you find yourself making choices in a "rationalized" manner?
i.e. "I want to graduate to 4th, so doing this will help me get there." or "Oh, death is not permanent, I put my faith in the creator and trust wherever I will go has a purpose for me."
2. How do you reason with yourself when you do something good, or bad to another-self?
Sorry for confusion.
1) We are the northern light as Ra puts it or little parts of consciousness of Creator and we have a well defined purpose, Creator experiencing Itself. Out rational conscious work will eventually cause the spiritual portal to open and then, as the intelligent energy starts entering our entity, we will do our work more and more from the heart. It is normal for us to try to make choices in rationalized manner because this is why we are here, and our mental conscious processor is our most important tool at this stage in our evolution. Don't be discouraged if you don't feel it yet. Most of us are in the same boat. Just acknowledging we have a duty to progress is a fundamentally important step. How many of us believe that we are our bodies and our duty is to serve our bodies? Moving beyond the plane of the body we progressed already, we awaken. We might not feel it yet from the heart because of various past experiences but we could feel it eventually if we meditate daily. But serving others to serve ourselves (or serving ourselves to serve ourselves in case of negative orientation) is what we are meant to do, it is our purpose. If we suddenly feel we live the wrong lives we awaken, we moved forward. It is painful in a way but is the type of pain which makes us better.
2) Usually I reason to make peace with myself. In my view it is a sign of distortion when we need to reason with ourselves for the way we behave towards others or more generally for the way we live our lives. We must find that distortion, understand it and try to balance it. We all have distortions and we are meant to have distortions. Creation is meant to cause distortions which gives Creator new angles to understand Itself. But when we do what we feel and we feel good about doing it, we do not usually have the need to reason with ourselves. This means our distortion is balanced. Reason is "progress" and we need to use our reason to balance ourselves and move forward. It is a personal quest towards ourselves.
