To focus on plenum's second point here Ra also speak to this cultural aspect of conditioning.
Quote:83.12 Questioner: Then you say that there are no cases where those who are service-to-others oriented are using in any way techniques of enslavement that have grown as a result of the evolution of our social structures? Is this what you mean?
Ra: I am Ra. It was our understanding that your query concerned conditions before the veiling. There was no unconscious slavery, as you call this condition, at that period. At the present space/time the condition of well-meant and unintentional slavery are so numerous that it beggars our ability to enumerate them.
To add to Reeay's wonderfully crafted and caring reply (I am working on learning to be more sensitive, my distortions are very obvious to me!) Ra elude further...
Quote:80.11 Questioner: Could I say, then, that implicit in the process of becoming adept is the possible partial polarization towards service to self because simply the adept becomes disassociated with many of his kind or like in the particular density which he inhabits?
Ra: I am Ra. This is likely to occur. The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service to others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.
So if we take that leap of faith, it is only our attitude that we are changing, not 'who we are'. Its that journey towards our true self rather than the perceived separation by others that we are associated with. An analogy to assist us I feel in this transformation would be to compare out attitudes to the operating system on our computers. How well is it going to serve us if we refuse the updates offered to us? Especially the 'critical' ones!
I found this short commentary by Terrence McKenna to be quite inspirational where a mans emotional needs are concerned.
