This is not what you have been conveying though. You have been saying that stopping a murderer is loving because you feel that the victim deserves your help. What I don't think you see is that sacrificing your life is also a STO action toward the aggressor.

An explanation of how it would be "unmistakably" STS would be appreciated. In light of what Ra has stated about actions being STS or STS based largely on intentions, how could anyone state that anything is always, unmistakably, STS?

They want nothing to do with you or your sympathy, and would take advantage of this naivete to carry out their intentions by plowing right over you. They are not more powerful than love. You are wrong about this, and this is my entire purpose for the "exhaustion." One inkling of a STS thought such as overpowering their efforts sucks the love right out of you. There are also so many other facets at play between m/b/s and also in time/space and Higher Selves, that what one is capable of and another isn't is indeterminable. You must love that person from the get go. Trust in love, not in winning an STS battle. It is a "thought war", and the moment love leaves your thought.... serving self enters the void. In the larger scheme of things, it would be ideal to accept and love anything a 3D STS oriented person throws your way. Yes it would, and your Higher Self would be better for it. If you wanna know what I'd do.... I'd probably go 'STS all up on that mfer', but I'm not going to say I did it for love. No, that would be delusional.

You are proving to be a tough catalytic mirror for me to look myself in. Your honesty is hurting my self-image, for it uncovers my deepest self-deceptions. You are a difficult catalyst, as you do not conform to normal ways of self-aggrandizement. Thank you. And I resonate with the statement for I too in that case would have tipped over into complete STS to have my way. Drastic situations reveal to us our true inclinations, or as you say, hold light on our personal delusions. You are a strong uncompromising seeker.

You are talking nonsense. Madness! In a 3d world you cannot allow manipulation/domination, or else this planet would polarize negatively. Every sto act in a 3d world is going against sts agendas, and by your definition, this would be "overpowering". Nonsense!

Control. This is what serving the self seeks. Acceptance. Love. This is what serving others seeks. It is very cut and dried this way. RE: Acceptance and Will - native - 04-25-2011 Yes, it is going against their agenda. But you are arguing that this overpowering is an act of serving the self. It isn't for the self if you are doing it for another.

In some cases, perhaps. But not necessarily. If the STO entity had undertaken a certain mission in this incarnation, and the aggressor tried to interfere with that mission, then giving in to the aggressor would mean helping the STS to polarize, and failing in one's STO mission. Jesus' sacrifice was part of a greater STO mission. If Gandhi had been assassinated 10 years earlier, he wouldn't have accomplished his very important STO mission. It's not the sacrifice itself, but the reason behind it. These quotes seem to have fallen thru the cracks, yet they address the question better than anything I could say.

RE: Acceptance and Will - 3DMonkey - 04-25-2011 I addressed these quotes. In no way do they justify a 3D physical plane action.

RE: Acceptance and Will - Confused - 04-25-2011 (04-25-2011, 10:52 PM)3DMonkey Wrote: Sorry for getting caught up in wanting recognition for my views. The experience through the ages is that when truth is spoken, it does not receive immediate attention en masse. Truth is a bitter pill that does not give adrenaline when taken in fullness. Thus, we mostly attempt to mix some portion of truth with falsehood, in order to make it pleasurable/palatable for some components of the inner self. It is like sex. If deconstructed on bare essential terms, physical sex can be seen as completely dirty and gross, for it primarily deals with organs that are used to expel waste. But if one gets fixated on that aspect of the truth of sex alone, it can create several unnecessary mind-blocks leading to a state of inability to take pleasure out of the act. And then, there is no use in feeling irritated/envious when other-selves enjoy the act greatly, by choosing to gloss over what is self-evident in terms of grossness. Thus, in my opinion, truth in its complete range, when imbibed all at once, can create extreme imbalances. And sudden brilliant initiations, which one is not yet capable of handling, can be touched off by accident. And they do not always end prettily. I personally think there is nothing for you to apologize for, 3.

Person A hears the cries for help from Person B, who happens to be a child. Person A chooses to assist Person B, and engages in the rescue of Person B from Person C. How have you decided that Person A is 'engaged' with Person C but not with Person B?

As the LOO suggests, look at other self as self and determine needs. We each possess a unique set of distortions that provide equally unique abilities to "see".

Anyone? Including yourself? What if your free will is to survive, so you can accomplish your mission in this incarnation? Then allowing an STS entity to interfere, would be going against your own free will. You keep saying manipulate...but it is the STS entity who initiated the manipulation. To allow him to continue, in my opinion would actually be STS polarizing, because you'd be contributing to STS manipulation. To establish a boundary, is to halt manipulation.

I invite you to consider this: You can love the aggressor while simultaneously neutralizing his aggression. Not with more aggression, though self-defense may be necessary in some cases. With love, the situation may indeed be transformed. Or maybe not. The entity might be so solid in his STS polarity that it isn't sufficient to transform him into switching polarities. And guess what...to overpower him with love might actually be interfering with his free will! (Yes. Chew on that, haha!)

That's easy. You do the minimum to rescue the victim. You don't kill someone just because another person wants you to. THAT would surely be STS! RE: Acceptance and Will - Confused - 04-26-2011 We just need answer to one simple question - what is love? The rest will fall into its place. RE: Acceptance and Will - native - 04-26-2011 We are talking about 18 different things here..no wonder all of this isn't making any sense. RE: Acceptance and Will - spero - 04-26-2011 It's been stated before that intention governs whether an act is sts or sto, but i want people to be aware that this is not always the case. A prime example would be Maldek... Quote:10.1 You can see from this example that an entire planetary population sincerely believed their actions were sto and yet they were indulging in thoughts, ideas and actions that were sts. No amount of intention is gonna fix that and as a result they were misguided enough to destroy their planet, spend millenia in a knot of fear and then underwent karmic alleviation until they replaced their distorted vision of sto with one that was less destructive/distorted. It seems to me that you can't use the tools of the opposite polarity and say you are still operating within the framework of your own. Instead you acknowledge that you will probably have lost some polarity as a result of being defensive or abridging free will but this was something your were willing to pay the cost for and will likely recoup on at a latter date. Its why i laughed out loud at 3D's response (04-25-2011, 10:42 PM)3DMonkey Wrote: If you wanna know what I'd do.... I'd probably go 'STS all up on that mfer', but I'm not going to say I did it for love. No, that would be delusional. One more thing i've noticed might also be a stumbling block is whether performing an act which results in loss of positive polarity is the same as performing a sts act. Technically it could be considered the same but i personally wouldn't. Polarity is the currency of the densities above our own. If you have enough positive polarity you might be willing to lose a little for the sake of something greater. Even Ra makes these concessions to loss of polarity (though some would argue they don't have polarity... ![]() Quote:53.3 RE: Acceptance and Will - Confused - 04-26-2011 Spero, excellent post, friend. And you have picked the most suitable Ra portions to make your great points. I truly enjoyed your post. I especially liked the fact that you referred to Maldek society's STS acts, while consciously believing in themselves as being STO. And that leads me to another question. Can an entity believe strongly that it is polarizing STS, while actually exhibting STO characteristics? And I like the statement 'polarity is the currency...' God, you people are so inventive with phraseology. I have benefited much on that. And concessions by Ra, he he he ![]() RE: Acceptance and Will - Unbound - 04-26-2011 We seek within.
