So i mostly stay in the mountains , medidating, gathering knowledge like a sponge, and experimenting some magics.
And it's really cool that way !
Dear Chaotikmind,
I can now see what Jeremy was referring to. While neither he nor I can know your polarity, one gets the impression while reading your posts that there is perhaps a superficial connection drawn between your identity and those definitions which are associated with the *concepts* of service to others and service to self.
I am not claiming final knowledge of such, I confess that what I write is composed in shining ignorance, but there seems to be a lack of genuine understanding on your part regarding the heart of self. It seems that you *may* look at your outward behavior, and, in assessing it, compare your behavior to loose definitions of polarity and say to yourself, "This one seems to fit me", or, "This one doesn't fit me". And thus does there seem a shallow and tenuous relationship between behavior and concept.
I hope not to put words into Jeremy's mouth but I believe this what he was referring to when speaking of the unexamined attachment that people develop to labels, which leads people to work from the outside in rather than the inside out. Beginning first with the label to understand the self rather than beginning from the heart of self and using the label as a helpful tool or means to an end.
This does not mean that a concept, especially one as central as polarity, has no meaning and no bearing upon self-understanding. On the contrary, an exploration of the meaning and intricacies of concept can be a great boon to spiritual evolution - insofar as concept remains transparent to that which it represents in its limited fashion.
As to living a life of seclusion in the mountains, there may be many reasons for this, none of which necessarily mean that you are a negative or service to self entity.
Perhaps you are from a wisdom density, having recently spent millions of years evolving without interaction with other selves. Perhaps you are a contemplative who desires to remove from his environment the so-called distractions of this busy world in order to focus more single-mindedly upon the Creator. Or perhaps you are simply socially maladjusted, as so many of us are, feeling acutely the alienation that is so common to wanderers, (presuming for the moment that you are a wanderer). This maladjustment, being a painful state of affairs, could be rationalized by the self in a way which results in a superiority complex: "Others cannot relate to me and I cannot relate to them because I am on a higher level. Thus they do not interest me."
Quote:Session 12
Ra: Due to the extreme variance between the vibratory distortions of third density and those of the more dense densities, if you will, Wanderers have as a general rule some form of handicap, difficulty, or feeling of alienation which is severe. The most common of these difficulties are alienation, the reaction against the planetary vibration by personality disorders, as you would call them, and body complex ailments indicating difficulty in adjustment to the planetary vibrations such as allergies, as you would call them.
I believe that polarization is a frame of reference, a bias in the consciousness of the self that is available to both polarities in a solitary configuration. I don't believe it absolutely necessary to interact with other-selves, or to even have the desire to interact with other-selves, to polarize positively. Though... going it alone, while it may be suited to you at this particular nexus in your evolution because it is the most comfortable arrangement, is ultimately a more difficult path than exchanging energy with other selves.
Quote:Session 19
Ra: The quickest way to learn is to deal with other-selves. This is a much greater catalyst than dealing with the self. Dealing with the self without other-selves is akin to living without what you would call mirrors. Thus, the self cannot see the fruits of its being-ness. Thus, each may aid each by reflection. This is also a primary reason for the weakening of the physical vehicle, as you call the physical complex.
So, Chaotikmind, a question for you: what takes place in your prayers? What are the objects and intentions of your prayers? If other selves factor into your praying, what do you pray for them?
On a final note, while extricating oneself from the societal milieu, especially a society so far from the ways of love, does have its benefits, the greatest catalyst for spiritual development, according to my understanding and the Law of One's, is generated in the interaction with other selves.
Quote:Session 50
Ra: Those aware of evolution and desirous in the very extreme of attaining the heart of love and the radiance which gives understanding no matter what the lessons programmed: they have to do with other-selves, not with events: they have to do with giving, not receiving, for the lessons of love are of this nature both for positive and negative. Those negatively harvestable will be found at this time endeavoring to share their love of self.
Love and Light!
