I was doing a bit of perusing of the material today and a particular passage moved me:
This seems to be a common pitfall for me, as I'll often get caught up in thoughts of judging myself for doing something wrong or immature. Sometimes it's easy for me to forgive myself, sometimes I can really beat myself up. This can also very easily lead to projection, where I find myself upset or judgmental towards someone I perceive as acting immaturely, when I'm really deflecting my own self-judgment. Failing to acknowledge what I have accomplished can also lead to projection in failing to see the heart of self that others attempt to share. This passage helps remind me to stake a step back from my thoughts which circle around distortions of judgment and view the more complete me, whole and without judgment.
I think that lots of seekers struggle with this, so I thought I'd share.
Quote:94.9 Questioner: Then she says, “If this is so, this seems to be part of the riddle about the manner of beingness that Ra spoke of. I fear if I do not work successfully on my human distortions I shall be responsible for losing the contact. Yet also Ra suggests the over-dedication to any outcome is unwise. Could Ra comment on these thoughts?”
Ra: I am Ra. We comment in general first upon the query about the contact which indicates once again that the instrument views the mind/body/spirit complex with jaundiced eye. Each mind/body/spirit complex that is seeking shall almost certainly have the immature and irrational behaviors. It is also the case that this entity, as well as almost all seekers, [has] done substantial work within the framework of the incarnative experience and [has] indeed developed maturity and rationality. That this instrument should fail to see that which has been accomplished and see only that which remains to be accomplished may well be noted. Indeed, any seeker discovering in itself this complex of mental and mental/emotional distortions shall ponder the possible non-efficacy of judgment.
