Hi everyone!
I must say that i havent really attempted this exercise at much length. This is mainly because i'm not exactly sure what i'm seeking.
As an example, there was one time where i tried this in contemplation of art. I took love to mean something being dear to your heart. So i look at a simple ornamental house sculpture, looking for the overtones of expression in it, to see what was 'dear' .. what was emphasized in the design, i came to have an (imagined) recapitulation of the sculptors love (fondness/appreciation) for that which he wished to express in his creation.
So i guess in that sense i guess on goes about it by looking at what one experiences to see what surfaces as most precious in the moment. Also to see what is most reflective of the wish of whatever creative force is behind what comes to you in the moment.
In this example i'm still unsure of whether this in incorrect or not? How close is it?
Another thing i want to add is that, i feel it's more an exercise of finding, in increasing depth and extent, what's there; rather than pasting one's a priori notions and feelings onto the situation. I may be wrong on this.
So on to the issues...
I assume that sice it's intended to bring about an acceleration toward the Law of One, we are meant to bee seeking the second distortion of the Law of One- Love. That Love also being the Original thought.
Here's where i run into confusion. I thought the Creator was intelligent infinity, made a potential by free will... but it's frequently said that the Creator is Love, the Original Thought.
Are we meant to see the Creator as Love? I figure since the other exercises suggest we find the Creator. Can anyone explain this, please?
Then there is also the issue of how the word Love is defined in the instances of the second distortion and that quality of 4th density vibration and the spiritual/emotional complex that Ra has refered to it as (in session 75, question 2.) There must be some thread of commonality that we can come to experience and know among all these? Does anyone have an idea of what that is?
Thanks Eric for bringing this up, as i'm honestly very confused about all of this.
Thanks for any assistance, it will be greatly appreciated.
