Well, the reason for me underlying the first sentence in the quotes I provided was because I wanted to underline what Ra put the most importance on. The rest of the underlying was as to trying to answer the questions of the thread starter.
But I share your fascination of how different minds are drawn to different parts of the quotes. If it would be just for my own reading and studying I would probably put emphasis on other parts than those I chose.

Ra's suggestion, in my understanding, was to have an acceptance of the unwanted material as being part of the greater self, but that the more desired configuration is to be brought into the manifestation by this act of will and refinement of the mind/body/spirit complex. It can also be liken to what Ra said about other entities and offering of their service to you:
Ra, 67:11 Wrote:All are the Creator. There is one vast panoply of biases and distortions, colors and hues, in an unending pattern. In the case of those with whom you, as entities and as a group, are not in resonance, you wish them love, light, peace, joy, and bid them well. No more than this can you do for your portion of the Creator is as it is and your experience and offering of experience, to be valuable, needs be more and more a perfect representation of who you truly are. Could you, then, serve a negative entity by offering the instrument’s life? It is unlikely that you would find this a true service. Thus you may see in many cases the loving balance being achieved, the love being offered, light being sent, and the service of the service-to-self oriented entity gratefully acknowledged while being rejected as not being useful in your journey at this time. Thus you serve One Creator without paradox.
