(05-10-2011, 06:08 AM)Spectrum Wrote: Wow Confused, you definitely got me seriously thinking about this. When I read the percentages bit in Ra, I thought it's because we are naturally so very STS, that it’s 51% so it can at least be within the reach of some. I never really considered that it's such a 50/50 thing, because valuing the self, is almost equally as important as valuing others. And now that I think of the Ra material, valuing the self is something that enjoys a lot of attention.

Thank you, Confused. You really changed my perspective on this.

Quote:17.33 Questioner: Why is the negative path so much more difficult to attain harvestability upon than the positive?

Ra: I am Ra. This is due to a distortion of the Law of One which indicates that the gateway to intelligent infinity be a gateway at the end of a straight and narrow path as you may call it. To attain fifty-one percent dedication to the welfare of other-selves is as difficult as attaining a grade of five percent dedication to otherselves. The, shall we say, sinkhole of indifference is between those two.

The mind must certainly abandon one direction of thinking (sts) in order to embrace the other (sto) way. I think we do this with conscious application, but I'm not certain.

Certain energy blockages prevent us from loving ourselves, which prevents us from receiving love from others, this it turn becomes sts in nature because blocks the other from serving sto. I believe we, as a social complex, are working with this concept in real time at this moment. We are each expressing our own confusion on the matter. I think, on our way to social memory complex, we must begin to open ourselves to be loved by an other, and to not limit or reject the love that is readily available to us. In a sense, allowing others in to love us is a service to them, and we can see where this can go exponentially.

I speak with desire and not so much with conviction.

could this be a major hurdle to jump past the unsuccessful 50% marker?

Quote:42.4 Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response[love] especially if the attack results in physical pain, but I assume that this response should be maintained even through physical pain or loss of life. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and further is of a major or principle importance in understanding, shall we say, the principle of balance. Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love.

All of this is natural, non-conscious opening up to love of other, i.e. the new being.

So your assignment for this evening is to go out and find another self and start making that new baby.

(05-10-2011, 12:22 PM)Icaro Wrote: A positively polarized person doesn't weigh each step. Their frame of mind is always from the perspective of serving others, while being true to themselves and act in loving the self when it's called for. Loving the self in a positive way is obviously necessary, but I don't think it's viewed as evening every action out on the 50/50 scale.

Quote:16.37 Questioner: I am assuming that it is not necessary for an individual to understand the Law of One to go from the third to the fourth density. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. It is absolutely necessary that an entity consciously realize it does not understand in order for it to be harvestable. Understanding is not of this density.

Categories: Harvest, Third Density

16.38 Questioner: That is a very important point. I used the wrong word. What I meant to say was that I believed that it was not necessary for an entity to be consciously aware of the Law of One to go from the third to the fourth density.
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct.

(05-11-2011, 06:17 PM)Azrael Wrote: does that mean we start making conscious decisions of polarity right from birth? STS and STO are choices, but those choices must be made within context. Does a child merely accept itself and its emotions? Also, there are many children that are very good-natured and not selfish at all. Also, do children have influences from other lives where they have chosen one path or another? Will an entity that has frequently chosen STS more likely be "naturally" STS in a new incarnation?

Also, now thinking of it, if 3D life experience is for the sake of choosing, we MUST be born neutral, with no polarity. The knowledge of polarity must also be observed while maturing. However, that isn't to say that a child can't be guided by an STS or STO Higher Self along a particular path.

This raises a question, does more polarity result from more intention? That is, does a child whom acts in self service out of whim receive the same negative polarity as an adult making a consciously STS decision? Does the "size" or intention of the action create a larger or smaller shift in polarity?
