Unrelated to the specific comments about sexuality above...
I believe Ra is telling us that we are granted choice--we can choose to do ANYTHING. However, we all know that there are causes and consequences. No one is "required" to choose the path of the Adept, but unrepressed self-discipline (in mind--meditation, and body--temperance) seems to be essential on that path--it is like the Matrix and Potentiator of Body.
78.11 Questioner: Could you elaborate please on the nature and quality of the matrix and the potentiator?
Ra: I am Ra. In the mind complex the matrix may be described as consciousness. It has been called the Magician. It is to be noted that of itself consciousness is unmoved. The potentiator of consciousness is the unconscious. This encompasses a vast realm of potential in the mind.
In the body the matrix may be seen as Balanced Working or Even Functioning. Note that here the matrix is always active with no means of being inactive. The potentiator of the body complex, then, may be called Wisdom for it is only through judgment that the unceasing activities and proclivities of the body complex may be experienced in useful modes.
4.17 Questioner: I have no idea how long this would take. Is it possible for you to give a synopsis of the program of training required? I have no knowledge of what questions to ask at this point.
Ra: I am Ra. We consider your request for information, for as you noted, there are a significant number of vibratory sound complexes which can be used in sequence to train the healer.
The synopsis is a very appropriate entry that you might understand what is involved.
Firstly, the mind must be known to itself. This is perhaps the most demanding part of healing work. If the mind knows itself then the most important aspect of healing has occurred, for consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One.
The second part has to do with the disciplines of the body complexes. In the streamings reaching your planet at this time, these understandings and disciplines have to do with the balance between love and wisdom in the use of the body in its natural functions.
The third area is the spiritual, and in this area the first two disciplines are connected through the attainment of contact with intelligent infinity.
61.6 Questioner: I would like to ask questions about healing exercises. The first is, in the healing exercises concerning the body, what do you mean by the disciplines of the body having to do with the balance between love and wisdom in the use of the body in its natural functions?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall speak more briefly than usual due to this instrument’s use of the transferred energy. We, therefore, request further queries if our reply is not sufficient.
The body complex has natural functions. Many of these have to do with the unmanifested self and are normally not subject to the need for balancing. There are natural functions which have to do with other-self. Among these are touching, loving, the sexual life, and those times when the company of another is craved to combat the type of loneliness which is the natural function of the body as opposed to those types of loneliness which are of the mind/emotion complex or of the spirit.
When these natural functions may be observed in the daily life they may be examined in order that the love of self and love of other-self versus the wisdom regarding the use of natural functions may be observed. There are many fantasies and stray thoughts which may be examined in most of your peoples in this balancing process.
Equally to be balanced is the withdrawal from the need for these natural functions with regard to other-self. On the one hand there is an excess of love. It must be determined whether this is love of self or other-self or both. On the other hand there is an over-balance towards wisdom.
It is well to know the body complex so that it is an ally, balanced and ready to be clearly used as a tool, for each bodily function may be used in higher and higher, if you will, complexes of energy with other-self. No matter what the behavior, the important balancing is the understanding of each interaction on this level with other-selves so that whether the balance may be love/wisdom or wisdom/love, the other-self is seen by the self in a balanced configuration and the self is thus freed for further work."
I have to say that these same ideas are found in many major religions, but have hardened into restrictive dogma that denies the natural functions of the body instead of suggesting that we attempt to use them wisely.
All is choice, but I believe strength and self-discipline are required of the Adept as much as Love--and many people don't want to hear that any more than they want to hear the idea that drugs aren't going to increase their spirituality or clarity (they just help you bypass the conscious and go back to the connection you had prior to the evolution of consciousness...which is regression. The goal is to be able to train the consciousness to function in the unconscious realm. There are no shortcuts, IMO.) Nevertheless, all is choice. Some want to experience this, so the Creator has offered them the opportunity to do so.
It is a difficult thing to face, but in many cases, people decide what they want to do anyways, then find a philosophy or religion that tells them it's ok to do it, or even praises them for it...(cynical view brought to you by one of my former students...when an 11th-grader has already seen through people and institutions to this extent, I think there's hope for the world!
).
Hmmm...I'm thinking I'm about to be the least popular contributor to this forum...Please disregard anything I've said that sounds like I'm imposing my will. These are just my interpretations. I'm sure that there are those who would disagree with me.
Love and Light to you all.
