Quote:Questioner: We have a paradoxical situation in that in order to fully serve the Creator at this level in the polarized section, you might say, of the Creation, we have requests, from those whom we serve in this density, for Ra’s information. In fact, I just had one by telephone a short while ago. However, we have requests from, in this particular case, another density not to disseminate this information. We have the Creator, in fact, requesting two seemingly opposite activities of this group. It would be very helpful if we could reach a condition of full, total, complete service in such a way that we were by every thought and activity serving the Creator to the very best of our ability. Is it possible for you to solve, or possible for the fifth-density entity who offers its service to solve, the paradox that I have observed?

Ra: I am Ra. It is quite possible.

Quote:Questioner: Then how could we solve this paradox?

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that you have no ability not to serve the Creator since all is the Creator. In your individual growth patterns appear the basic third-density choice. Further, there are overlaid memories of the positive polarizations of your home density. Thus your particular orientation is strongly polarized towards service to others and has attained wisdom as well as compassion.

You do not have merely two opposite requests for service. You will find an infinite array of contradictory requests for information or lack of information from this source if you listen carefully to those whose voices you may hear. This is all one voice to which you resonate upon a certain frequency. This frequency determines your choice of service to the One Creator. As it happens this group’s vibratory patterns and those of Ra are compatible and enable us to speak through this instrument with your support. This is a function of free will.

A portion, seemingly, of the Creator rejoices at your choice to question us regarding the evolution of spirit. A seemingly separate portion would wish for multitudinous answers to a great range of queries of a specific nature. Another seemingly separate group of your peoples would wish this correspondence through this instrument to cease, feeling it to be of a negative nature. Upon the many other planes of existence there are those whose every fiber rejoices at your service and those such as the entity of whom you have been speaking which wish only to terminate the life upon the third-density plane of this instrument. All are the Creator. There is one vast panoply of biases and distortions, colors and hues, in an unending pattern. In the case of those with whom you, as entities and as a group, are not in resonance, you wish them love, light, peace, joy, and bid them well. No more than this can you do for your portion of the Creator is as it is and your experience and offering of experience, to be valuable, needs be more and more a perfect representation of who you truly are. Could you, then, serve a negative entity by offering the instrument’s life? It is unlikely that you would find this a true service. Thus you may see in many cases the loving balance being achieved, the love being offered, light being sent, and the service of the service-to-self oriented entity gratefully acknowledged while being rejected as not being useful in your journey at this time. Thus you serve One Creator without paradox.

I'm wondering what are some practices that I could do that can cultivate unconditional love for all over time.

Quote:Practices which aid an entity in becoming more aware of his own heart are those practices which are very momentary. It is difficult to discipline the self to use the present moment. But it is in the present moment that you may practice opening the heart.

Stop and think about your facial expression. Are you smiling? Are you frowning? Place upon your face the beginnings of a smile and each time that you become aware of your expression, curve up the edges of your lips into a slight smile. Over time, examine the results of this seemingly completely superficial practice.

When you become aware that you are entering the presence of another, take a moment to acknowledge, accept and admire the perfection of that individual. Naturally, that perfection is not apparent to the outer eye in most cases. Do not let that stop you. You know that each entity is the Creator. Take a moment to establish that acknowledgement, acceptance and admiration.

Quote:10.14 Questioner: For general development [of the] reader of this book, could you state some of the practices or exercises to perform to produce an acceleration toward the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra.

Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

Exercise Two. The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. This is an helpful exercise.

Exercise Three. Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.

Exercise Four. Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. See the Creator.

The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises is a predilection towards what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With this attitude, these exercises can be processed. Without it, the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit.

Sometimes the work leads us layer by layer, and sometimes we find we are holding in some layers of our heart that which is not at all what we expect to find there.

A couple of years ago I was working off and on, clearing stuff before I got out of bed in the morning, and I felt a fiercely directed bolt of hatred and anger shoot out from my heart.  Needless to say, I was surprised and just a bit concerned.  Some time later I asked someone about it who can read such things and was told that it was concentrated energy I used in past lives when in battle.  I asked, what was it doing in my heart?  I was told, "That's where you put it."  I found that slightly amusing in its simplicity.

I later thought about how the heart focuses energy in some ways more potently than the chakras below, and I thought of the necessity of having your heart plowed into your work if you're regularly exposed to, and responsible for, repulsive acts of horror.

This is all to say, you're difficulty in accessing your heart may, in some sense, be a self-protective measure.  Ergo, some degree of gratitude might be in order, surprisingly...perhaps. 

To any who feels this might apply to them, I might suggest that focusing for some time on cultivating transcendent, overarching forgiveness could be a useful way to approach the general matter.  Forgiveness is surely a form of love, and if you encounter your own potent shadow along the way, it's a blessed, grace-filled vibration to be able to call upon as a way to help balance one's energetic structure...if you're into that sort of thing.

We cultivate soil before we plant seeds.

In this case though pre-veil we already had unconditional love - because we knew unity was truth, and could see beyond the masks.

So perhaps it’s not about learning anything new, but unlearning what separates us from the truth we already carry/carried.

Pulling up weeds, the knowledge of good and evil was metaphorically a plant in the garden.

It too started from a seed that was allowed to grow. Take root. Metaphorically this is what removed us from the loving unity of Eden. So to go back, now with our hard won wisdom we pull that plant.

Cultivate the soil and pull up weeds of judgment.

We judge otherselves because in fear or pain we assumed they are different, their actions out of context are so foreign.

We see part of their story and push them away(judge) verses embrace(accept/love) because we are ignorant of their entire path.

The more you hear people’s stories, the nitty gritty, the more you’ll find people’s lives took them for the most part, one event giving way to the next, to the next. Trauma building, reactions from pain/fear leading to the next “choice”.

The more you open to hearing people’s darkest parts the more you can see how a beautiful divine spark could step into any life and be distorted into which ever human face you gaze upon. Compassion is easy then.

At that point the more cold and cruel, it just means divine spark has had a tremendously difficult trip though time.

All trips are difficult. So one could remove judgements in consiousness or perhaps get to really know people.

I have been blessed that people tell me their darkness, strangers even, I believe it’s just because I am open, im told they know I won’t judge.

If you can muster that nonjudgment through compassion I highly recommend the experience of then just engaging in conversations most avoid. Listening to things they fear to tell others will reveal their beauty.

It’s easy to love anyone when you know their true path, then it becomes automatic to know even those you haven’t heard their storey have the same within them.

We litterally are all one. This pure divinity put through catylist life after life to form distortion that would cause infinite variation.

The way back is using catylist to erase those distortions, seeing through the distortions erasing our judgements about them, returns us to unconditional love, thats is a step towards reunion.

Sorry for the ramble.
I wanted to reply earlier but with so much to say I couldn’t decide which to share. You got a mish mash.

Good luck on your quest, it’s a great subject to work on.

Thank you so much for this example! I've actually had a hard time understanding exercise 1, but this explains it so well. I've been trying this for the past couple days and it really has an affect and it gets better after every time I try to see the love in the moment.
