Great post, we are indeed creating at the moment a social memory complex! By becoming aware and putting our energy together that brings it forward more and more.
What would you suggest?
...which steps can we make at this precise moment for creating a society that works...
... I don't think discussing in detail if 2012 will be gradualist or sudden is of very much of help for our spiritual evolution! At least let us not become obsessed with this. Because the motivation beyond that is this same: what shall we do and become.
Which steps can we take now?
Dear irpsit,
Thank you for your kind words. IMHO, I believe firstly, and most profoundly, that with regard to this particular thread of 2012, that we need immediately to remove all fear. I loved Jeremy's terse poetic point referencing the fear of 2012 as synonymous to a "Deadline for Polarization." Well said Jeremy. It in my mind demonstrates the absurdity of this concept. Imagine a loving Father making this as part of his law? Does this even resonate? I personally just don't see it, or abide with it, for all the reasons I've posted to it thus far. I have challenged more than several times for just one single piece of information in the channeled sessions of the Ra teachings specifically, even if some suggest Quo has it as more gradual, where Ra has given that it is immediate?
Yes, I can see where one might read into it. Of course I can. But I can be also afraid of the dark or noises in the woods and read into that as easily as any man as well. But can we as a Social Memory Complex in the Making be not at least agreed to the fact that we may also allow ourselves the freedom to read out of it as well? Lets do the homework for goodness sakes. This is what we're here in the forum for, verses being voyeurs sitting in the bleachers pretending not to bite our nails when the evidence screams that most do by the very numbers of views to this thread thus far. Let us be forthright and honest. Let us take inventory and stock of ourselves, our integrity, and our selves. 2012 strikes fear for many, if not most. Even to the many (not all) who would suggest this thread or conversation as being more leaning to the transitory or meaningless, I would challenge this lovingly as being somewhat disingenuous and nonetheless fear based. I would offer that indeed we in fact discuss it in greater detail, so as to dispel any misconceptions given, by perhaps only one or two more popular writers of the Law of One in particular, who we have allowed to do our thinking for us.
It would not be healthy, prudent, or wise to simply ignore it, duck it, or dismiss it, as if though it is unimportant, transient, or trivial, particularly when as much attention has been paid to it, this by the sheer blatant evidence by the numbers alone that this single thread has garnished the single most views of all so far. This screams as self evident proof that as much as we all wish to believe this information as being transient as the Ra teachings have stated they are, we are nonetheless blocked by it by our concern over it. Let us be honest so that we may stand in integrity that indeed it is transitory. But to do this we must first be willing to deconstruct it. Otherwise, we pretend that there is no bogey man under the bed, that all pretend isn't, that most are all afraid of is nonetheless. There is great richness in this humor, as much as there is great pathos in it as well.
To your beautiful question then irpsit, you ask:"What would you suggest?...which steps can we make at this precise moment for creating a society that works", I would offer we do nothing more than elegantly and graciously change our perception, i.e. "SEE IT DIFFERENTLY" . Thats all. Thats it. Its as simple as that. But simple is not always easy. Let us release the fear. Release the teacher(s) in your mind that is/are the Bogey Men creating this fear, who suggest they are better suited to tell you whats what by the sheer weight of their work, intellect, years of study, self proclaimed higher knowledge, or that they are academic scholars of any particular filed in esoteric literature or particular teachings such as the Law of One, blah, blah, blah. Is there such an animal? Is there a certificate from some institution that I am unaware of that may be offered as proof? Would such a claim be one that a true loving teaching would make? Would not the best teacher(s) teach you how to fish, rather than speak about fishing the whole day long, and how much better suited they are to same? Lets us deconstruct this teaching by true open academic scholarly dialog where the opinion of all matter, even those that choose to cling to the "Die Hard With a Vengance" view ala the Law of One?
The only manner available for us to deconstruct a false teaching given in word, is to do so through conversation and word again. Let us then shine the light under the bed to demonstrate there is no bogey man there. This is the profound effect of words. They cut both ways. They may create fear as much as they may deconstruct fear. We live in our words for the moment. For my child I would with care and love take his hand gently while shining the light under the bed in the effort of showing him nothing is there. I would then begin building steps in understanding for him after this. I would to the converse offer him nothing by simply dismissing his fear, naming it as transitory, or suggesting one needn't be concerned, or that if he were that it is distracting. The bogey man would only continue to lurk in spite of all my suggestions to the contrary. I would suggest that many of us are still as though children, and that all, without reservation, are still children at times. We all need only to be lovingly guided by the hand with loving gentle words. Thats all. This is the beginning of creating a Social Memory Complex. None are better suited at evolution than another. How absurd and sad this even sounds. Am I a being from the 6th density capable of communing with the Muses when I can not even commune with my neighbor in loving fashion anonymously by blog? Given I am a child of infinity, does it even matter if I am in 6th visiting 3rd, or 3rd striving for 4th, when ultimately I am that I am? Does not even this sound absurd? How would I know in any event? Because I have a feeling?
I would offer, by example only, that this knowledge given by Ra of 6th density visitors in 3rd is important for hierarchical understanding only, but immediately becomes patently transient the moment we begin trivializing it by making it personal. To the same extent, 2012 has become personal, thus transient, but now needs be worked through as a result as much, as is the feeling I may be wandering through this dark dank dungeon of 3D, as I've read often enough, rather than seeing the light anywhere I am given I take it with me wherever I go. "And Heaven is spread out upon the Earth and MAN KNOWS IT NOT."
3D in this light (pardon the pun) is as much Heaven as is 9D or 99D, for "Heaven is within". Heaven is even within Hell, as the Biblical myth or truth is reveled in the allegory or fact of Jesus wrestling the Keys away from Lucifer by his mere presence alone of descending there to unloosen the knot. Heaven is within. Where is there to go then? Let us assume we are Star Born to begin with, of the Logos Itself, that came here to experience itself. I was already there. I am (partly) here now. In this context, wondering if I am 6D, whilst my brother huddles in the corner agonizing over whether he will make it out of 3rd before his perceived "Deadline to Polarization" chimes at the strike of 12:00, is truly ego based, this as I stare into my mirror gazing at my reflection, mesmerized or as agonized with how far I have come as is he, and as far removed from STO as I can imagine. Let us unloosen him from this knot as well as a "Social Memory Complex of Love in the Making".
Let us depersonalize the Ra teachings, and allow them to remain as lofty as they are. I needn't gaze in the mirror at me while wondering how far I am while my brother sleeps in fear. There may be no better 'there' than 'here' in any event if I am truly integrated as a loving brother. I think Ra would smile a pleasing smile if we were able to retract ourselves out of the teachings so as to not be distracted by them in the process. The teachings may create a knot for the student otherwise. Has this not happened before according to Ra? Is this not the reason why He/They feel the responsibility for not moving forward themselves?
Were the lessons taken to heart to a greater degree, rather than allowed to stroke the ego, however grand or minimal, would not all the teachers and guardians and brothers of sorrow alike smile all the more? To the same extent, perhaps deconstructing the fear(s) that have accumulated around 2012 may be equally of good work in STO fashion for all, if not at least those in fear, through a serious group study of the passages. I maintain to lovingly challenge, show us where it says that Ra said what you share or fear you've been led to believe he said? I dare say to many, that reading someone else's interpretations and allowing yourself to believe they are now yours is much the same as the example of watching the commentaries and news you view on television only to discuss these views at the water cooler the following day as your own.
See it differently. Watch your world change. How elegantly simple.
