The paradox of life. - aWanderer91 - 03-03-2022
Hi all,
I wanted to share what I deem to be true and something I'm learning in life (again) right now. I knew this before, however it seems I'm re-learning this truth once more.
By letting go of the belief and idea of the things we need, we then seem to get what we need.
By letting go of our need to influence others, it seems we then are able to have the biggest influence on those around us or/and those we interact with.
By letting go of the need to want to accelerate our spiritual path, we then are able to receive the right guidance and accelerate our path.
By letting go of the need to control our reality, we are then able to create our own reality and suddenly start to see ourselves as co-creators and not as the victim of our circumstances.
Life seems to be a huge paradox, and it's only by letting go and settling into awareness that we can suddenly accept these paradox's and accept them with a smile. The ego doesn't take well to these truths at all. I would invite you to experiment for yourself, and I know a lot of beings on earth (including those at bring4th) feel "stuck", and maybe these truths can help with you unravelling your current predicament.
It's a simple lesson with amazing consequences, if only we can let go of our hold on reality and allow life to happen the way it's meant to

The more awareness and power one has in choice. The more we can be honest with ourselves.
If you truely wish to polarize positive as much as possible it is true for to one have no need to influence others in any way.
A truly positive being would accept and love all others no matter what.
This can be naive and lead to self destructive choices that benefit no one. Some form of extreme martyrdom.
Going back to the need to influence others. Negatives feel no need. They are aware always in their choice in their attempts to influence others for self gain. There is no illusion about this in their mind.
I would suggest more contemplation on what service really means in context.
Especially when it comes to control, and acceptance; in application to balance ot the self or other in some way.
There is no wrong choice after all.

Hi MrWho,
Maybe you have misunderstood me, greatly perhaps.
Having no need to influence others doesn't mean that one shall not influence others, without infringing upon free will your vibrations and perspective on life can still have a huge influence on another. Especially when asked.
For instance, resting as awareness and following ones naturally guidance, others may be intrigued as to how you were not swayed by the world and why you seem so peaceful. Upon your response, this is likely to have an influence on the one asking, depending on the being at hand. To have a positive influence on another without abridging on free will is the goal of most adepts, teachers and wanderers.
Also to love everyone so wholly and fully to the point of martyrdom is a 3rd density/4th density lesson. Wanderers of 5th and 6th density would see such a thing as very unwise and would know how to navigate away from martyrdom, however, your point remains valid if referring to these beings

I also disagree with your stance that "negatives feel no need". They feel great need in light to be extinguished or gained for themselves. Their mind is full of delusion while also feeling like they are up against time, wasting no time to fulfill their need to influence and deter another.
The fact that there is a 95% threshold to fulfill their chosen path, doesn't leave much room for contemplation or to fully learn the wisdom of their choices. Upon deep contemplation they would understand that their acts are folly and delusional. I just wanted to mention this, however it's not the intention of my thread to discuss negatives.
RE: The paradox of life. - MrWho - 03-04-2022
I meant to highlight the choice in its plain terms when it comes to control and acceptance. There is always a positive and negative dynamic.
There is rarely a being which is completely one or the other.
My intent is to be constructive through perspective.
Personally I greatly appreciate your post. I agree that to be able and surrender ourselves to the moment to be of service is beautiful. Especially when it inspires others to inquire.
RE: The paradox of life. - aWanderer91 - 03-04-2022
I understand you better now, I do apologise if I misunderstood. I do appreciate other perspectives so I hope I didn't come across defensive in anyway, that wasn't my intention, my friend
RE: The paradox of life. - MrWho - 03-04-2022
All is well, this quote is somewhat relevant.
Quote:Questioner: Thank you. Would you give me the same type of information about the self in relation to the societal self?
Ra: I am Ra. The unmanifested self may find its lessons those which develop any of the energy influx centers of the mind/body/spirit complex. The societal and self interactions most often concentrate upon the second and third energy centers. Thus those most active in attempting to remake or alter the society are those working from feelings of being correct personally or of having answers which will put power in a more correct configuration. This may be seen to be of a full travel from negative to positive in orientation. Either will activate these energy ray centers.
There are some few whose desires to aid society are of a green-ray nature or above. These entities, however, are few due to the understanding, may we say, of fourth ray that universal love freely given is more to be desired than principalities or even the rearrangement of peoples or political structures.

Paradoxically the release of the need to influence or help or teach others directs one to the healing of the relevant energy centers, acceptance of the circumstances, and practically peace within. Then one may begin helping, having an influence, teaching others, because why not.

This is a phrase taken from one of my favorite song
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.

the Master acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever
The Master sees things as they are,
without trying to control them.
She lets them go their own way,
and resides at the center of the circle.
