Hi, thefool and welcome to the forums! We see that once the Buddha connected to spirit, he did not just sit around in nirvana. He was awash in a need to share that experience with others, which is why he thought up a way to live life on a path that will lead to that experience.
Let me try to paraphrase Ra:
Quote:When this penetration of the eighth level occurs what does the entity who penetrates it experience?
Ra: I am Ra. The experience of each entity is unique in its perception of intelligent infinity. Perceptions range from a limitless joy to a strong
dedication to service to others while in the incarnated state. The entity which reaches intelligent infinity most often will perceive this experience as one of unspeakable profundity. However, it is not usual for the entity to immediately desire the cessation of the incarnation. Rather the desire to communicate or use this experience to aid others is extremely strong.
It seems to me they are saying "When each person connects with the Creator, they perceive the experience uniquely. It can be an experience of limitless joy or the manifestation of a strong desire to show others the path to connection while the connected person is still around. It's not usual for the connected person to immediately want to stop experiencing life on earth. It is more common for the connected person to want to share the experience with others."
That sounds like common sense! Once your Being is fully realized, you wouldn't get sick of life and want it to end would you? No, you would want to help others realize their Being! I think that maybe when a person is suddenly connected to intelligent infinity, their ego is "shook loose". Maybe if everything isn't "in sync", the ego will take hold again in a negative fashion and say "Well, all the STS goals we had are now for zip, so your life means nothing!" and that might manifest as a feeling of desiring the end of incarnation. Or if everything is "in sync", the ego is uplifted too, and it says "I will take on STO goals now. This life still has meaning."
Just speculating... You might want to google search Boddhisatva.
