Oftentimes, we forget it though, and so we label ourselves of being in some kind of particular way. This labeling may bring safety of having some kind of identity, or personality, to the self, but in my belief, it can also act as a sort of a "prison". Ra teaches to discover/seek the completeness in the self, and to not choose what we approve and disapprove in ourselves.
Yes true, "are you not all things"? In the grand scheme of things, surely.
however I believe there is a reason for that people usually have certain social "tendencies", same as there is a reason why people don't change their facial structure and body type from one day to the other.
It is to specifically choose certain experiences in this incarnation, drawn from the vast ocean of infinite possibilities. And as much as most of the posters here say they are introverts, I am sure they all have been extroverts in their pastlifes, at one point or another.
I don't believe a person who could truly say of themselves they are an extrovert would be here on this forum, reading Ra material, anyway.
The "tendencies" that you speak of is the *biases* I was speaking of, I believe? I've been having the notion for quite some time, that in some situations one can react in a certain way, and in others one can react in an opposite way, therefore it was difficult and unnecessary to claim whether one is this or that. And then daddy Ra came along, and explained it so perfectly, so yes, I truly really believe that "you are all things"
