CHOICE

[Turtle]

lol condemned.

Is an artist condemned to create art? No, they are compelled to, because it brings them joy.

That's love.

lol. Not all will share the same sentiment. I obviously do

Well it's actually the same exact thing. Everything that happens is a chain of reaction of action and reaction or cause and consequence from the first distortion of love. Nobody can resist how they feel and think the way they do. If what surrounds them brings them to be compelled to create art they've been simply trying to exist and do what they feel and think is best like every conscience or any level of awareness in the universe do. You are condemned to love just as much as you are compelled to. Just try not to love somebody you love. Good luck! It's the same drive behind it. Being condemned doesn't mean someone is there behind you forcing you to do it. Everybody force themselves. It just means you are operating under certains laws. Like the Law of One for exemple. Freewill, love, confusion are all laws everyone of us are condemned to work with. They are mecanics of the cosmos. Who can honestly pretend to be free from that?

Do you have the choice to choose those choices? Choices are made based upon the reality that surround us. That reality is imposed in a certain way upon us once incarnated. You can always say I could have choosed an other option but those alternate choices are never choosed. Only what is experienced happens. Do you have the choice to experience what reality brings to your awareness?

What if I choose something which I am not and not in my reach in the surrounding aspect. But still it manifests itself in life for however long is needed. Without you realizing you are living where you solely thought you deserve.
You get what you choose, it does not matter what choices are available. Every thought comes from the distortion of love.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I'm not implying there is no choice whatsoever in any kind of way. I'm saying behind all choices that are made is a really hard programmed reality with laws and mecanics and that choices are limited to those. I'm well aware that I am where I want to, how I want to, and where I think I deserve.

I see.. That's more sensible, thank you.

77.16 Questioner: What I am really attempting to understand, since all of these twenty-one philosophical bases result in the twenty-second which is The Choice, is why this choice is so important, why the Logos, it seems, puts so much emphasis on this choice, and what function that choice of polarity is, precisely, in the evolution or the experience of that which is created by the Logos?
Ra: I am Ra. The polarization or choosing of each mind/body/spirit is necessary for harvestability from third density. The higher densities do their work due to the polarity gained in this choice.

88.16 Questioner: I will also assume, which may not be correct, that the present list that I have of the twenty-two names of the tarot cards are not in exact agreement with Ra’s original generation of the tarot. Could you describe the original tarot, first telling me if there were twenty-two archetypes? That must have been the same. And if they were the same as the list that I have read you in a previous session or if there were differences?
Ra: I am Ra. As we have stated previously, each archetype is a concept complex and may be viewed not only by individuals but by those of the same racial and planetary influences in unique ways. Therefore, it is not informative to reconstruct the rather minor differences in descriptive terms between the tarot used by us and that used by those of Egypt and the spiritual descendants of those first students of this system of study.

The one great breakthrough which was made after our work in third density was done was the proper emphasis given to the Arcanum Number Twenty-Two which we have called The Choice. In our own experience we were aware that such an unifying archetype existed but did not give that archetype the proper complex of concepts in order to most efficaciously use that archetype in order to promote our evolution.

89.26 Questioner: All right, we’ll attempt to do that. Ra stated that a major breakthrough was made when proper emphasis was put on Arcanum Twenty-Two. This didn’t happen until after Ra had completed third density. I assume from this that Ra, being polarized positively, probably had some of the same difficulty that occurred prior to the veil in that the negative polarity was not appreciated. That’s a guess. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In one way it is precisely correct. Our harvest was overwhelmingly positive and our appreciation of those which were negative was relatively uninformed. However, we were intending to suggest that in the use of the system known to you as the tarot for advancing the spiritual evolution of the self a proper understanding, if we may use this misnomer, of Archetype Twenty-Two is greatly helpful in sharpening the basic view of the Significator of Mind, Body, and Spirit and, further, throws into starker relief the Transformation and Great Way of Mind, Body, and Spirit complexes.
