Not in ny understanding. "Turning the other cheek" sounds to me similar to:
Ra, 17:30 Wrote:The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation.
The ability to open the self to another self without *hesitation* involves self knowledge:
Ra, 35:4 Wrote:To know your self is to have the foundation upon firm ground.
Law of One speaks also of self respect:
Ra, 40:14 Wrote:Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance.
Ra, 40:13 Wrote:The other portion of healing has to do with forgiveness of self and a greatly heightened respect for the self.
And also see the self as the Creator:
Ra, 10:14 Wrote:Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.
Ra, 75:25 Wrote:It is well for each to realize its self as the Creator. Thusly each may support each including the support of self by humble love of self as Creator.
So in my understanding, a constant attempt or seeking towards opening the self to another self without hesitation involves a great deal of self knowledge and self respect. Translated into terms of "turning the other cheek" it would mean that when you open yourself up to others, there will be situations where you will be taken advantage of, where you will be ridiculed, where you will be used and so on and so forth, but you will continue to attempt this opening the self to others.
In terms of energy rays it means that the pathway to the green center is clear and clean. If there are blockages in orange ray, there might be misguided service to others given, driven by a desire to be acknowledged, approved, loved. This service is not given out of universal love, thus unconditional, but given in order to have the self approved or acknowledged by others. But if the green ray is activated and the pathway to that place is clear, then the service is freely given without any expectations, or "slave mentality", but out of universal, unconditional love.
