It could choose to respond to a situation with something other than love.Considering there is no 3D lesson a perfectly balanced entity could possibly learn whatsoever in any possible situation, all possible 3D experience would be fully recognized. This means that in no case would it or could it be coming from a place of less than complete balance and awareness, and so of love. Take it down a notch to something much, much less than complete balance. The, relatively speaking, hugely distorted beings from Sirius which formed a social memory complex while still in 3D. In order to have a positive social memory complex, their center-of-gravity must be one of 'universal love'. Catalyst is not suggesting this struggle to find 'universal love' because it has been used, by then, for thousands of years of evolution perhaps.

Each moment we choose anew.The fool-proof system has the experience of each moment attracted by what needs to be addressed (needs to be balanced) in the particular individual. "Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience." If the focus is on 'universal love' then that is what needs balancing in the particular individual. That is the point of 3D and why 'wanderers', and other entities with prior balancing work, quickly move to green without much experience or catalyst at all.

[/quote] This makes sense. Perhaps it takes a few years of work, but green seems natural to me. I recognize catalyst consciously and choose how I will respond to it. So not all responses are automatic. In a situation where I would normally get angry, I can choose to show love. Is this not balanced, or would balancing be if it happened automatically?

What's to say a perfectly balanced entity couldn't choose a temporary blockage? Consider Jesus, who Ra said could have chosen a more confused path had he ignored the call to go to Jerusalem.

This gets back to the question of which love we're talking about. The love in the moment may be love in the sense of the second distortion.

Sure. Ra uses the word "love" to refer both to fourth density and to the Logos (second distortion): Quote:27.13 Questioner: Is Love— is there a manifestation of love that we could call vibration?

I view the separation between myself and the "Creator" as an illusion. If the realization that there is no separation between self and Creator is truly profound, how can that individual's will be other than that of the Creator's? The 3D analog for this being complete removal of distortion, or complete acceptance. To take the illusion metaphor further. Say you are presented with this popular optical illusion: This illusion is presented along with a question: which line is longer, A, B, or neither? Without knowing that it is an illusion, there is a knee jerk reaction. We do not question our response because we have no clue as to the true nature of the illusion, or even that it is an illusion. Once you come to the realization that it is an illusion, the choice appears. You question your knee-jerk reaction because you realize that it is an illusion, yet you don't fully realize the true nature of the illusion. You can use tools and knowledge to discern a choice, and make that choice while still not knowing the true nature of the illusion. You truly have choice. However, once the illusion's true nature is revealed to you, and you understand why this is an illusion, how it is "false," and that it isn't really as it seems, do you still have a choice? Sure, the choice is there...you can pick one or the other, but the true nature of the illusion is revealed to you. The choice is perceived, but there is only one truth. The illusion is gone and the truth from that point on is always available to you, no matter how much you should choose to ignore it.

I believe idea is that polarization and learning are possible without an increase in complexity.

I practiced so much that I quickly became much better than all the other students in the class. The teacher, when he noticed how well I was doing, asked me to play one of the more difficult songs in the book (which I had nearly finished going through within the first month of class). After I played, he told me to come to the fourth grade band class next week. When I started going to this class, I noticed that we were playing different kinds of songs. I noticed that the skills I'd taught myself when I was in the other class were helpful, but that there was alot more to playing the clarinet than I realized, and that synchronizing my playing with other people, especially ones who weren't playing clarinet, was difficult. It was something I hadn't done just a couple of months prior. Most importantly, it wasn't nearly as easy to simply take the First Chair position like it was in the last class. Do we pick up where we left off? Sure. How can we not? But everything changes. Think of 2D animal. They have moments of self-consciousness. You can see them get embarrassed or have a moment of self-discovery. But when they become 3D, suddenly they have permanent access to this concept of "I". We 3D beings cannot stop being aware of ourselves as selves the way 2D beings can. When we graduate, this will be true of love. We will not be able to just stop loving the way 3D beings can. The act of loving will be built into our 4D bodies the same way the state of self-awareness is built into our 3D bodies.

I've pierced the veil for moments, and seen videos on YouTube during those moments I have not seen since. It allows access to Universal truth.

I don't know. I don't know if Ra's "perfectly balanced entity" can exist in 3D either. Ra says, "Within the adept is the potential for dismantling the veil to a greater or lesser extent that all may be seen again as one." I don't fully understand what adepthood entails, and I don't fully understand what Ra's talking about here with regards to the veil. I don't expect that I will ever be close to complete balance or acceptance, I can't really speculate on the possibilities. My illusion metaphor wasn't necessarily supposed to be a direct correlation to the veil, but rather to illustrate the "choice" which a perfectly balanced entity might have in a 3D state after acceptance is complete and all that is recognized is love, as I understand it.

I do not know whether free will is an illusion or not. However, I think the concept of what we know as free will has a form of flexibility that works in correlation in terms of the distance away from the centers of consciousness, with the great central heart (One Infinite Creator?) being the highest form of the locus. Quote:82.10 Questioner: Why does this partaking in the original thought have a gradient radially outward? That’s the way I understand your statement. In other words, free will allows refinement. Quote:81.30 Questioner: You stated earlier that toward the center of this galaxy is what, to use a poor term, you could call the older portion where you would find no service-to-self polarization. Am I correct in assuming that this is true with the other galaxies with which Wanderers from Ra have experience? At the center of these galaxies only the service-to-others polarity exists and the experiment started farther out toward the rim of the galaxy?

Thanks for these quotes Confused! This might help me expound on my previous speculation of the presence of choice, and an automatic response of love not necessarily meaning absence of free will. "Therefore, gradually, step by step, the Creator becomes that which may know Itself, and the portions of the Creator partake less purely in the power of the original word or thought." "Various Logoi and sub-Logoi had various methods of arriving at the discovery of the efficiency of free will in intensifying the experience of the Creator by the Creator." Portions of the Creator become more and more distorted from the original thought, which was a result of (or resulted in?) greater free will. The more distortions, the more choices. However, as distortions are removed, the purity of the Creator is restored, and the choices collapse into a single state of being. That state of being is recognized at our level of progression as the "emotional response of love" with which the perfectly balanced entity responds to his attacker with. Other choices were a result of distortion, which has been removed.

I just ran a search for 'adept' at lawofone.info and found this quote, which may be useful in terms of speculating on what adepthood may entail. I too do not understand the subject Quote:75.23 Questioner: I am sorry for my confusion. Sometimes, as you say, sound vibration complexes are not very adequate. RE: Love as a function of Acceptance - Bring4th_Austin - 08-29-2012 "The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being." Perhaps this discussion is more closely related to adepthood than I realized.

Q'uo was saying that Jesus, for small periods of time, became the Logos experiencing third density directly. RE: Love as a function of Acceptance - zenmaster - 08-30-2012 Wasn't going to touch the premise that Jesus was 'perfectly balanced' as I believe this would probably not be possible. The concept of perfection itself, however can exist under constraints of choice vs opportunity. |
