We the Choir Gather and We Learn to Sing Together

[rva_jeremy]

I think that people get caught up on the idea of giving up individuality as it sounds like you are being asked to repress elements of the self. Repression is actually counterproductive to that goal. A better way to go about it is to indulge in one's desires and balance the experience within in order to see if they are in alignment with one's true being.

…

As the mind complex is distilled through the athanor of the body over many lifetimes it becomes purified and sheds distortion. 

I don't see what you're saying as in any way conflicting with a release of the emphasis on our cultural concept of individuality, for what it's worth (and that cultural concept is not shared by all on this planet or throughout history). I wasn't suggesting that people repress their individuality in order to be positive -- I was suggesting that, as one polarizes, "that which is not needed falls away". What falls away is not our uniqueness, but the contrived aspects of our yellow ray complex. The less contrived our identity is, the less being a self becomes a push against the masses and the more it becomes a dance of give and take with the Creator. The goal is not to always win for the self and never lose anything for the self, but to toss the tally sheet aside entirely as the true goal becomes one's place in the Creation and not something for and by oneself. As Patrick said, you don't stop being you, but you do open up to the fullness of you instead of the "socially useful you" that we are so invested in protecting.
