The mysterious nature of time

[3DMonkey]

The way I look at it, we don't start here with a blank slate - we have the potential (polarization) available from past learning. We have a pre-incarnative 'program' which addresses our polarizing and balancing needs by creating biases and dispositions to find certain modes of behavior compelling. That program of study is the basic work. However, the more conscious we are of our lives, the more effective we can be in our work. Learning who you are, in a non-abstract sense, can polarize to a point where there may be such an opening. Apparently that the interpretation of the experience is based on one's valuing system, which itself goes through stages of development. Apparently, on a single life experience, polarization only roughly follows mental/emotional maturity. So one may interpret the (peak/enlightenment) experience differently based on that level of integration.

Once one has that taste, one can not go back - there is no where to hide - one is naked but at the same time 'the cup is full'. There is no true suffering as 'it' supports everything with the genuine connection of an essential nature that is 'infinite'. Because you and society are basically the same thing, on such a foundation, everyone's suffering is seen to be self induced and unnecessary (because the infinite nature trumps circumstantial reactions which people tend to dwell upon). So these difficulties starkly become immediately evaluated as the lessons which they are. And the focus is on how we deal with situations, not how we became victims of situations (as so many here want to focus upon for some reason).

I see "me" as a blank slate. The potential and the program are things I see as 'what the energy did when it met up with this physical vehicle'. I don't think being conscious of our life makes us more effective in "our work" (unsure of what that means). I do think knowing who you are can make you more effective in consciously creating awareness effects of the situations you find yourself in, thus manipulating societal mind.

Part of the reason I take this view is because of the fluctuating stages of one's valuing system. I don't think this system has a 'development' to it. I think there is integration, of course, but I don't see any 'levels' where one's ability to integrate any experience is higher than another's ability to integrate any experience.

I understand what you are saying, zenmaster. I believe that this 'taste' is only a particular flavor that some minds find comfort in. Ultimately, I think that this comfort level is the bait for such thinkers. Sure, it creates a more 'comfortable' society within the like minded, but I find the idea riddled with pitfalls and oxymoron.

What is eliminated (slowly) is our distortions of and from 'Oneness'. Who we are in potential is that complete 'higher-self' being which has attained that state from creating a unique way out of what the archetypal mind (the logos) has provided as a blueprint. The removal of distortions is part of the polarization process.

On top of the archetypal mind we have the racial mind which starts to form our 'experiential nexus'. Once you start getting into that level of bias, 'outsiders' such as Ra can not really figure out what is going on, as there is something truly unique being created (i.e. fashion, rock music, etc) which have various attachments and conditions involved (which 'infect' us). Because the same basic developmental rules apply, the same lessons must be learned (regardless of manner chosen) Ra can always point the way, however. I guess the skill required in doing so is how one may construct a bridge from current attachments to misunderstandings to what is innately known to be genuine.

An example of how I make sense of "racial mind":

When a single man/mind, for some reason or another, has a choice to make that receives a viewer focus of multiple persons/minds, he becomes the epitome of the phrase "with great power comes great responsibility". At this point, his choice becomes an example of leadership simply due to the fact that multiple persons have decided to be willingly 'infected'. This is how a 'noble man' and an 'evil man' receive these monikers. This also has something to do with why we get so upset with politics and also with conspiracies- we see that some people try to fabricate moments where their choice will obtain multiple viewer focus. The fabrication appalls us. On the other hand, a true, natural moment when a person, based on sheer synchronicity and coincidence, obtains multiple viewer focus, and love/light manifests naturally- this scenario is what truly effects our "racial mind" and the one that sticks with society longer.
