Session 31 - As a Gay Man, I think Ra's take on Homosexuality is idiotic

[Chandlersdad]

This is an issue I have been asking myself about since a certain poster here pushed my buttons. Why did I care what this person wrote? Why did I respond?

Your spontaneous reaction is encouraged, suppression of emotions is discouraged in the Ra material. It's deleterious for positively polarising entities to suppress emotions.

Questioner: What is the difference in terms of energy center activation between a person who represses emotional responses to emotionally charged situations and the person who is balanced and, therefore, truly unswayed by emotionally charged situations?

Ra: I am Ra. This query contains an incorrect assumption. To the truly balanced entity no situation would be emotionally charged. With this understood, we may say the following: The repression of emotions depolarizes the entity in so far as it then chooses not to use the catalytic action of the space/time present in a spontaneous manner, thus dimming the energy centers. There is, however, some polarization towards positive if the cause of this repression is consideration for other-selves. The entity which has worked long enough with the catalyst to be able to feel the catalyst but not find it necessary to express reactions is not yet balanced but suffers no depolarization due to the transparency of its experiential continuum. Thus the gradual increase in the ability to observe one’s reaction and to know the self will bring the self ever closer to a true balance. Patience is requested and suggested, for the catalyst is intense upon your plane and its use must be appreciated over a period of consistent learn/teaching.

Becoming unswayed is something worth aspiring to I'm sure, one little step at a time...

Questioner: I will attempt to make an analogy. If an animal, shall I say, a bull, in a pen attacks you because you have wandered into his pen, you get out of his way rapidly but you do not blame him. You do not have much of an emotional response other than the response that he might damage you. However, if you encounter another self in his territory and he attacks you, your response may be more of an emotional nature creating physical bodily responses. Am I correct in assuming that when your response to the animal and to the other-self is that of seeing both as Creator and loving both and understanding their action in attacking you is the action of their free will then you have balanced yourself correctly in this area? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is basically correct. However, the balanced entity will see in the seeming attack of an other-self the causes of this action which are, in most cases, of a more complex nature than the cause of the attack of the second-density bull as was your example. Thus this balanced entity would be open to many more opportunities for service to a third-density other-self.

Questioner: Would a perfectly balanced entity feel any emotional response in being attacked by the other-self?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The response is love.

Questioner: In the illusion that we now experience it is difficult to maintain this response 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.

This type on entity, fully balanced like this, is extremely rare on the earth plane according to Ra, Chandlersdad, so don't be so hard on yourself.

You strike me as someone who might be a Far Side fan...

Thank you so much! One thing I do not want to do (since I have seen it so often when I was a chaplain) is to pretend to be more advanced spiritually than I really am. This seems to be common in religious and spiritual groups. I realize that at times it is valid to FAKE IT TO MAKE IT. But I also recall that a major component of blue ray 5th chakra is honesty (to oneself and others). So I always want to acknowledge my anger and other emotional charges. How else can we investigate their core and perhaps heal them? I was in psychotherapy for 3 years specifically for this purpose and it was richly rewarding. I was amazed at times how much classic psychotherapy corresponds with modern spiritual belief systems. Anyway, I would not repress my emotions and I hope no one else will do so. There are exercises to alleviate the emotion. In Carla's Law of One 101 book she refers to strengthening the emotional charge and then switching to its opposite to balance the 2. I find this rather hard. Another exercise is to strengthen the emotional charge until is peters out on its own volition. I find that with enough emphasis, my emotional charge can become silly to me, and my mind creates a vision of me in a silly position, which dissipates the emotion. For example, if I am angry about social injustice, I intensify this emotion until I suddenly see myself as Joan of Arc racing across the country on a horse, which inevitably disfuses the emotion.

P.S. Love Farside.

Life goes on.
