It seems that well-intentioned, spiritually-oriented people are more often wont to say "let it go" as though free expression of my very valid emotions would somehow be wrong or, at the very least, petty, and representative of a lack of forgiveness, or, worse, an indication of a controlling nature.
It seems to be what Ra is saying in several instances in relation to honesty, and it seems necessary for the formation of a social memory complex also. We can only merge with each other by tending to each other's feelings, and if we didn't express them ourselves or if we obliterated our own desires there would be nothing to serve or integrate for the purposes of coming together as a group. "..[violet ray] gives and takes in its own balance."
So expression of self provides the opportunity of choice and polarization for others. The concept of sharing ourselves is mentioned in the material a few times. The negative path just takes this to the extreme. Those of us who are less offended by opinion or other's feelings, have worked with communication with others enough to be more in balance. There's no reason why clear communication should ever stop! It's what got us to where we are, and being a primary ray, it's necessary for development. The pitfall it seems, is that a lot of catalyst is inpouring about ourselves which isn't recognized. Hope that helps..I tried answering all your questions in a big paragraph.
I would consider saying something to him..you obviously want to get it off your chest.

A tip of the hat to you too, sir.
Quote:Moreover, when you communicate clearly and effectively from a position of balance, those who are imbalanced will become painfully aware of their own imbalances.
I agree with everything you said, except I've encountered resistance with the above. Your post seems to be describing the position of a "teacher" offering spiritual advice, in which your point makes sense, but I've been describing personal relationships with family/friends/partners. In dealing with personal catalyst between two people, I've found that even with clear communication, if disagreement continues it's pointing towards inpouring information about yourself that you're not recognizing. There's always room for both to grow, but unless the person is seeking passionately, you're being presented with an opportunity to learn, and realizations on their part will take place later should they look deeper.
I think this is where the archetypes come into play. Utilizing the outer illusion, you recognize which archetypes are presenting themselves and can respond with the appropriate archetype.
"After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step: that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind."
