rays for Harvest

[Bring4th_Austin]

i'm worried about my family and friends who aren't into LOO. if it takes work to graduate they might be at a disadvantage. and i have a weak red ray so should all my chakras be crappy? what does it mean to be balanced, to be equally open?

$hit, if i've done this before why is it so hard?

I will mirror drifting pages' sentiment here.

Why exactly are you worried? Are you worried for them, or for yourself because you feel that you will lose them? I do not feel sorry for entities not graduating this Harvest. They will one day walk the steps of light, and it is not a race to the top of the stairs.

I personally feel the red ray's importance should not be understated. A weak red ray would consequently weaken every ray above. The term "root chakra" is very helpful for contemplating the nature of this red ray. Imagine yourself as a plant, your red ray as your roots, and energy the nutrients you pull through your roots. If you, Ocean the Plant, have a weak root system, you will lack the minerals to grow into a beautiful Ocean Tree. You may be able to pull enough to sustain and grow, but your potential is lessened from a weak root.

Why do you think your red ray is weak? By 'weak,' do you mean you have blockages?

As for balancing, Ra talks directly and extensively on this subject. If you would find use, I could dig up some Ra and Q'uo information that may help you understand the nature of balancing. Otherwise, simply contemplating the concept of balance might help you. For instance, if you are feeling happy, what emotion is equally opposite that would balance this? Recognizing and contemplating simple things like this are a good place to start balancing.

I may also suggest, if you truly feel you are a dual bodied individual, to call upon your past incarnations' lessons to help you move forward in your spiritual progress in this lifetime. This would be a major advantage of having a dual body...these lessons should be apparent to you whenever they are relevant, especially if you ask and will for them to be.

All of this, chakra work and balancing, is done through meditation and contemplation of your life's events, and more importantly your own reactions to these events.

Like I said, if you want some help sorting through Ra and Q'uo to understand these things better, let me know and I'll be glad to help.

I surrender.

I have always wondered what Surrender is all my spiritual life. Always struggled with the reality/concept behind the word.

I have never been able to bring myself to complete surrender, and surrender to what? Events, circumstances, people, places, etc!!

Very confusing to understand for me. And if it is surrender to the god within, how does it help me relate to the world outside, without appearing spaced out and insane.

Questions I struggle with about surrender. I don't know. I give up

Oh what a topic. I too struggle with the idea. I do not agree with the idea of complete surrender. This would mean surrender of free will, right? I will not surrender my free will.

To me, the idea of surrender is better understood by contemplating what I perceive to be its polarity, control. We may fight and fight and fight to control, but sometimes progress cannot be made without simple surrender. Sometimes we would like to think that as conscious co-creators, we have complete control over our reality and our lives. There is much relief found in surrendering when it is appropriate. But is it always appropriate?
