Does experience itself hold any value

[Ankh]

Question:

1. Does different kind of experience lead to different understanding or merely generate different ways to the same understanding?

I believe that there are infinite ways of coming to an understanding, but that the path is somewhat the same for all:

16:37 Questioner: Can you tell me if the progression of life in other galaxies is similar to the progression of life in our galaxy?

Ra: I am Ra. The progression is somewhat close to the same, asymptotically approaching congruency throughout infinity. The free choosing of what you call galactic systems causes variations of an extremely minor nature from one of your galaxies to another.

16:38 Questioner: Then the Law of One is truly universal in creating a progression towards the eighth density in all galaxies. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. There are infinite forms, infinite understandings, but the progression is one.

2. Do we always have to learn something from experience, does experiencing just for the sake of experiencing without understanding is not good practice?

I take Ra's stand as to maximize opportunity for experience and to maximize understanding that can be gained from experience. Therefore indulge in experience without learning is not advisable, and the information from these experience are not really a fair trade for understanding lost.

Well, for instance in 16:39 Ra said: 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.

But that was in regards to understanding the Law of One. In regards to understanding an experience, Ra said:

Each experience will need to be observed, experienced, balanced, accepted, and seated within the individual. As the entity grows in self-acceptance and awareness of catalyst the location of the comfortable seating of these experiences will rise to the new true-color entity. The experience, whatever it may be, will be seated in red ray and considered as to its survival content and so forth.

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.

And in 18:5 they said: The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them.

A little bit later in the same Q/A they said that all things are acceptable in the proper time for each entity, and in experiencing, in understanding, in accepting, in then sharing with other-selves, the appropriate description shall be moving away from distortions of one kind to distortions of another which may be more consonant with the Law of One.

At another point they also said this: The original desire is that entities seek and become one. If entities can do this in a moment, they may go forward in a moment, and, thus, were this to occur in a major cycle, indeed, the third-density planet would be vacated at the end of that cycle.

In an infinite creation I guess that this can happen, that entities become one in a moment, and I also believe that some few entities have done that. But for the rest of us, or majority, it is a longer road and seeking for that road which takes time that is the case. So to come back to your question whether we need to learn something from each experience or whether experiencing just for the sake of experiencing is enough, I would say - take what resonates with you personally. It seems to me that Ra says that yes, we do need to learn and understand, and it resonates with me personally cause I have always had this urge to understand and learn. But if this doesn't resonate with you, then you might have another path to walk, which is infinitely valuable to the One Infinite Creator, which is not something or someone outside you, but has always been and is you, since before time.
