Sure, just as I can point at you. We are all One, but Oneness includes separateness as well.

One of the ways we can unblock our inner light is by interacting with other-selves. Else, we'd live in a reality all alone.

To have objections to working with other-selves seems, to me, itself a blockage. Energy that is flowing and radiating is all embracing.

No one said don't look within.
:idea: We can do both! That is the point of this particular Ra quote.

There ya go. Right there! That is the purpose of this meditation...to see the Creator in these STS entities instead of seeing them as an enemy.

Yes, but more than that. We want to change the dynamic. We choose to no longer be entangled in this dance.

I guess this one wouldn't apply then?
Of course it would. Why wouldn't it?

This appears to suggest that, in viewing the seeming atrocities and injustices inflicted by the "negative ones" that we should strive to see the Creator. What do you think?
Absolutely. That doesn't mean we do nothing. We are here for a reason. Acceptance isn't necessarily passive. Free will choice is another factor in the equation.

No insight or comments on this?
There is no distinction.
