Knowledge Starter Pack - meadow-foreigner - 01-04-2021
The intent of this topic is to exchange useful knowledge and to maximize the benefits of networking. Feel encouraged to contribute with what worked for you, with that you've come across, and maybe all might benefit from it.
It has become a crescent source of discontentment of mine to see fellow, kindred souls, just like mine and yours, undertaking ailments and/or distresses for unnecessary periods of time just to learn the so-called necessary lessons. Because of this, I’ll try and see if I can be of any assistance to this process:
First of all, the main cause of suffering, distress, burden, unsettledness, unpleasantness, displacement, loneliness, sorrow, uncertainty, mildness, and all other kinds of dissonant patterns: all stem from an emotional unbalance within the individual, and more especially an inner unbalance between the feeling and the intellectual centers of an individual.
There has been some work done under this field of study, and you’re probably familiar with Freud’s concept of “unconscious”. From what I’ve come to know, this concept is, as a matter of fact, an individual’s feeling center.
Modern society isn’t very much catering to the feeling centers of individuals. People are often socially conditioned to be emotionally uneducated, and in extreme cases, illiterate. This can cause all sorts of maladies, and even physical ailments, for it is from the emotional centers that stem rationalized behaviors that indirectly try to justify their sources and experiences.
For instance:
An individual might have pre-incarnatively chosen a specific childhood background in order to, as current human development shows, form a certain personality framework to work with. Such a framework can be understood like an Operating System – a programmable one.
If your personality framework is your software, your body of manifestation is your hardware. This is why diet is so important and why it was overstated by Ra on multiple occasions.
You want to have the best physical conditions to tune in to your Spirit and to express it throughout your body – though you need the proper tools to do it. The study of nutrition is of paramount importance, as much as a vehicle mechanic would want to properly tune in their vehicle. You want the best quality nutrients inside your body. Foods with low glycemic indexes. You may want to keep your insulin levels in control. You may want to have an appropriate influx of vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, fibers, and good quality fat in your body. By taking proper care of your hardware, you may be able to better work with your software.
People are currently running by (and sometimes even governed by) a system of beliefs (the so-called automatic pattern recognition software ran amok). These beliefs are based on expectations.
Expectations are based on referentials.
Referentials are often based on wishful thinking. Desires. Eros (ἔρως).
Referentials are often based on wishful thinking. Desires. Eros (ἔρως).
Referentials have intensity, which, in turn, are directly proportional to the amount of time lived when facing a certain experience and the energetic intensity of it (you may want to check these topic for further detailing: Chaos and Unity: how do you handle it?, Duality and Integration of Self: how do you handle it?).
This is why childhood experiences often shape an individual for a whole lifetime – because one day is proportionally (from a veiled 3D time and newness of experience perspective) means much more when you’re a month old in comparison when you’re, let’s say, a hundred years old.
![[Image: galaxy.gif]](https://i.ibb.co/T4BsSqy/galaxy.gif)
Such may be time: the more intense an experience is to an individual, the closest to the center of the spiral it is. The more time is “elapsed”, the more outwards the spiral goes. Yet, it still has the origin, the center, as a reference. This is why people often seem to repeat certain “karmic” patterns in their lives: because these issues are often left unsolved, so they keep cycling and repeating themselves until they are balanced, healed, and done with, so there is no more necessity to suffer because of them.
In this matter, ideally, the big spiral would be a lifetime (and/or also the total sum of 3D incarnations of an individual, but this is a matter for another topic, which may be discussed later). Each smaller spirals (or solar systems, for this matter) would be equivalent to time “periods” of a certain frequency. Note that there are differently sized star systems, with different irradiation correlated frequencies.
Such are emotional states: emotions have a certain frequency bandwidth, and people often seem to struggle with certain emotional states.
I, myself, often struggled with a whole plethora of low vibrational emotional states, so I have somewhat of a good first-hand experience in dealing with these things.
Because I’ve seen both bad and good, I have accrued, throughout effort, the privilege to be able to discern between both. When I see a conflict that comes from an emotional unsettling, it is clear to me the reasons where the conflict stems.
As this is a huge, huge topic by itself, I’d like to preliminarily present information sources for whoever is interested in learning more about the overcoming of personal difficulties and struggles:
First of all, begin studying your own dreams. This should be your starting point.
They are emotionally tailored messages for you. Don’t handwrite them, that takes too much time. Type them out, it is faster and you’re able to maximize your hypnopompic states. It doesn’t matter if you can only come up with a word, a phrase or sentence that may be recalled about them: write about them. Record them. It doesn’t have to “make sense” at the beginning.
By knowing your own emotional messages you can trace your own emotional patterns, so you can begin to get to know your own source code, so to speak. This will enable you to delimit your own extent of capabilities: you will discern what you can do from what you cannot do. This is the beginning of the process of acceptance of self, of other-self, of the world that you’re in.
Keep in mind that you haven’t had the privilege of incarnating in this timeline, in this particular space and time conjuncture, for nothing.
Discernment is paramount. Not only because of the so-called “Harvest”, but for you. “Harvest's occurrence” is not set in stone, though your existence is already here. As the saying goes, “it’s better to be a warrior taking care of a garden than to be a gardener in a war”. So, take care of your own garden.
Empower yourself – and this takes effort. It takes time. It takes energy. However, it is the only 100% certain bet and investment that you can do: it’s you, your biggest equity. The return of such investment is directly proportional to your care.
Don’t be casual about your Self. Don’t be casual about your health, your mind, your emotions.
Casualness leads to casualty.
If you’re more interested:
- Study Psychology. Learn the basics of Freud, especially his dream material. Study some Jung, some Ra Material, some Cass Transcripts (read them again; after all, the dudes there are allegedly beyond linear time, wouldn’t you think they were trying to convey the most they could especially in the beginning? It’s the spiral image/interpretation/metaphor again). Study Skinner. Study Lacan;
- Study Mathematics. Don’t stick to the easily digestible, elusive esoteric stuff. Tackle the hard stuff, because Mathematics is the language of the Universe. Not just algebra. Study Geometry. Study Calculus. Study Fractals. Learn about the mathematical constants of life;
- Study Physics. Learn how stuff works outside yourself and consequently get to know how they work inside yourself. Learn how electromagnetism works. Learn how quantum mechanics work. There is a whole myriad of subtopics under these umbrellas. Study Tesla;
- Study Anatomy. You have, presumably, a human body. Learn how your own body works. Learn about your physiology. Learn about nutrition. Know how hormones, neurotransmitters, nutrients, etc. work in your body;
- Study History. Learn from the mistakes and the positive references of the past so as to do right in the present and in the future. Keep in mind that History is written with specific objectives in mind; yet even from the most corrupted sources, there is valuable information to be extracted, even if it means what not to do, what not to look for. Study The Bible, and other religious scripts. Study Mythology;
- Study Social Sciences. Learn how human beings work in a social environment. This means philosophy, this means anthropology, this means behavioral psychology and all kinds of collective behavior. Study Plato. Study Socrates. Study Epictetus;
- Study your Self. Learn what turns you on, and what turns you off. Learn what excites you, and what displeases you. Harmonize your Self with your own intuition, with what your Spirit tries to convey to you. This way, you can be of better service not just to yourself but also to the society that you live and commune in. Learn Neuro-linguistic Programming.
Keep in mind that everyone will die and the lessons that are not learned will have to be learned sooner or later.
So, why delay the inevitable? Be at the vanguard, at the forefront of a new dawn, and reap the rewards that await those who go first.
As in for you: what would you suggest in regards to studying, knowledge, and life? Share about it.
When somebody shares, everybody wins.
When somebody shares, everybody wins.

What was by far the most useful for me was understanding that the energy centres are to be worked with seratim upwards. This is honestly the most useful information I got from the Ra Material which had the greatest impact on my spiritual evolution when applied. Basic, simple, but absolutely foundational. As the second ray is the “emotional or personal complex” and the third ray the complex of egoic and conceptual understanding, it cannot be impressed enough that no amount of intellectual or egoic pursuit will heal an emotional imbalance. I spent many years trying to “fix” myself by seeking information, as though some truth would reveal itself and all my emotional problems would resolve. This was not so.
Emotional imbalances must be healed on the level of the second ray, which is through the faculties of instinct/intuition and emotion. Work in second-ray must be felt. There is no getting around it, to clear an emotional blockage, you must feel your way through it. The emotional energy must be honored, it must be given space within you, and it must be experienced to its full extent. To deny an emotion is to deny a fundamental part of yourself.
There are no “lower vibration” emotions. All emotions are love which has been distorted in service to yourself. Emotions carry their own wisdom, as they move to protect, to defend, to motivate, to warn, to bond with others, and the list goes on. None of these movements are bad or “lesser”. They all are perfect in the holistic and integrated being. It is third-ray distorted conceptual understanding which imposes confusion, judgement and rejection on these emotions, causing them to cycle and not find their resolution.
To really balance your emotional centre, don’t allow yourself to go through life dissociated and stuck in thought. Go within and find that emptiness for which you do everything in your power to escape (or whatever emotional issue you may have). Go into it and do not look away. Do not resist. Reveal to yourself through your actions that this feeling cannot be fought against, it cannot be escaped, it cannot be reasoned away. It is a part of you, a most sacred part of you. Surrender to the pain and from there you may come to find your tears of futility, because this is the true healing of emotional distress. Tears of futility are very specific, they have a different chemical structure to other types of tears. They send the message down into the deep roots of mind that there is nothing left to do but accept the catalyst that caused the emotional response, allowing the body to relax and move on.
Ra Wrote:15.12 Questioner: How does an individual go about balancing himself? What is the first step?
Ra: I am Ra. The steps are only one; that is, an understanding of the energy centers which make up the mind/body/spirit complex. This understanding may be briefly summarized as follows:
The first balancing is of the Malkuth, or Earth, vibratory energy complex, called the red-ray complex. An understanding and acceptance of this energy is fundamental.
The next energy complex which may be blocked is the emotional or personal complex, also known as the orange-ray complex. This blockage will often demonstrate itself as personal eccentricities or distortions with regard to self-conscious understanding or acceptance of self.
The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray or solar plexus center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power, manipulation, and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex.
Those with blockages in these first three energy centers, or nexi, will have continuing difficulties in ability to further their seeking of the Law of One.

Ra: I am Ra. The indigo center is indeed most important for the work of the adept. However, it cannot, no matter how crystallized, correct to any extent whatsoever imbalances or blockages in other energy centers. They must needs be cleared seriatim from red upwards.

This helped me tonight. I lost my friend tonight. There is much of this I understand, myself, as truth. I cannot think my way through this unadulterated pain. I feel so demolished. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I am too, so sorry Ohr. Beautiful testament indeed. That soul can see how much you care and cares you back.
RE: Knowledge Starter Pack - zedro - 01-06-2021
An invaluable exercise I started years ago when first healing involved going thru the chakras/energy centers one by one by meditating on the related primary negative aspects, as follows:
Root: Fears
Sacral: Guilt
Solar: Shame
Heart: Grief
Throat: Lies (we tell ourself, or that we believe)
Pineal: Illusions
Crown: Attachments
It's a recursive shadow work exercise where when you start, you might just skim over a bunch of general personal issues/traumas that first come to mind (and perhaps start with low hanging fruit), to just catalogue them and initially expose them. But as you repeat the exercise each day, you start drilling down and examining them, deconstructing the issues, what caused them, how they affect your behavior and relationships, how it shapes your perceptions, and ultimately how they are related to one another. You do not need to solve everything once exposed, because you may need to reflect on them and return the next day to further drill into a topic. What you begin to see is it's all an onion, as you peel away a layer of say an attachment, you realize there's an illusion behind it, and that illusion is reinforced by a lie, etc. Also the resolution of a 'trauma set' or issue will frequently unearth a new set, and so the process further unfolds. It's a long process that can be freeform, and then gets very patterned and intertwined, and eventually everything gets deconstructed to the point where you may not have anything left except for when something current of note happens. The process is the most transformative thing I have ever done, because once addressed, it fundamentally alters your energy state. It can be a long process (as shadow work is); I really attacked it and the bulk of the work took me over 6 months of daily practice (10min to 1 hour usually) to sort thru, then maybe the occasional intermittent session when something buried would pop out, and of course between sessions there are always epiphanies as you become primed in the self analysis. After that I've been fairly internally trained to deal with issues instantly as they come, so this process is great for the emotional backlog/logjam to start cleaning up the mess when we don't know where to begin.
Note that there's a point where it makes sense to start at the crown (attachment), or sometimes you'll jump around on a certain topic as it unravels, there's no hard rule to the exercise, the important aspect is the titled framework and interelating the issues.
I would also work thru the energy centers accompanied by signing bowls of the correlated frequency, you can find various sets on YouTube or Spotify, etc. Here's a sample of the bowls you can tune your energy centers to, there are plenty of other like chants as well, they will list the notes in the ascending or defending order. https://youtu.be/oCPoG3EGwVw . Using theta wave binaural beats can also help during these meditations. So light up a beeswax candle, burn your favorite incense, and get comfy.
