green ray can be blocked, blue ray can't?

It's really about acceptance of self.

I'll have to think about the rest of your post, and I do agree with this part, but I think it's incomplete. Since we know from Ra that other-selves are also self, and in this illusion we all mirror to one another, it's common to hear people say that whatever is happening in the outer is actually happening in self and must be dealt with on that level.

Why would a person not deal with things "on that level" if they could? It is the responsible way to live.

But, isn't that negating the other side of the coin? We DO still mirror to other-selves too - they DO exist in this reality. To the point in the Law of One tenets given by Ra, it doesn't just say to gaze in a mirror and see the Creator, but also to gaze at other-selves and see the Creator. This seems to indicate that other-selves do truly exist, and to always refer back to self, with never any regard for other-self, seems to negate the importance of other-selves.

Withdrawing projections is a service to society. You would put the burden on other selves to reveal your own imbalance, when you already know better? Why would you do that? The notion of "negating importance" is sort of ridiculous and comical when you realize that importance is exaggerated, in the first place, to accommodate a disposition which feels there is lack of importance. Both the disposition and exaggeration stem from the same source - lack of acceptance of self.

In other words, I'm not saying your statement is false. It is clearly true. It IS about acceptance of self. But it is also about acceptance of other-self too. It seems to me that both must be accepted. Ultimately they are the same, but from within the veil, we do still have the illusion of separation so it seems to be a form of denial to pretend it doesn't exist.

Yes separation, in general, is what the "veil" offers here. But you don't have to see yourself indistinguishable in all ways to other self, in a consciously aware manner 24/7 in order to "serve others". The viable principle is that work on self = work on other self, if you like. That understanding can be realized inside the veil. The "mirror" becomes more effective. Whereas it will not be effective at all without withdrawing projections, which is the, developmentally speaking, "lazy and common" way which does not pursue consciousness.

Until we get to the point where we see through the illusion completely, it seems to be adding another level of illusion, to negate the reality and importance of other-selves and what they have to offer. Surely there is some importance there, else there wouldn't be an illusion in the first place.

Yet how is the reality and value of other self actually negated? And do you realize that which you are negating is your own idea of which there can be no real understanding? The notion of "importance" is ultimately ridiculous and part of a lesson in itself. It comes up in connection with the vibration which is still trying to balance ideas of egalitarianism within a nascent subjective reality.
