Tenet, I welcome you to enjoy your belief system in whatever mode you prefer; however, since this is a sub-forum of Strictly Law of One, I will attempt to respond to you from the perspective of the Ra Material.
28.20:
The sub-Logos neither adds nor removes from that realm which the Logos has established for the sub-Logos to have experience. Rather, within these guidelines, the sub-Logos may carve out an experience which is yet capable of infinite diversity. Consider, for example, a block of wood. There are infinite possibilities within the block of wood for the imaginative wood-carver; however, all of these possibilities are confined to this one block of wood. I may offer you a block of wood and tell you that you have the choice to make it into whatever you like, but if you respond that you want marble instead, I will have to remind you that all I offer is the block of wood. Make a beautiful carving and then you may graduate to the marble.
91.38:
If the Archetypical Mind is the blueprint which depicts the structure of ALL energy expenditures and seeking, it is clear that the 3D environment has been given a definite set of limitations beyond which the 3D m/b/s complex cannot proceed. There are no extra alternatives, no other choices, no secret truth which will teleport the 3D seeker to a realm of non-duality. The mindful seeker will eventually learn the Lessons of Love and thus graduate from the 3D environment and thereby also move beyond the 3D Archetypical Mind; however, it is only through making The Choice (between STS and STO) and committing to it with enough will and faith that this graduation can commence. Thus, in 3D, "the statue is forged in the fire" (77.15).
That the 3D Archetypical Mind is not in any case necessary is true from the perspective of the Self as the One Infinite Creator -- for all experience is chosen and not forced. At some point in your existence as an undifferentiated aspect of the Creator, you decided that you wanted to experience existence as a m/b/s complex. However, now that this choice is made, it is necessary that you continue to experience these distortions. The strange paradox of freedom is that the moment you become free, you are doomed to choose. In 3D, you are doomed to choose between STS and STO. When you arrive at (or return to) 6D, this choice may then be released as a fond memory. But, alas, this is still 3D.
