On "Understanding" the Law of One

[Bring4th_Austin]

I have found the poker game analogy to be relevant to this idea:

50.7
Questioner: Thank you. Can you expand on the concept which is this: that it is necessary for an entity to, during incarnation in the physical as we call it, become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when he is aware of what he wants to do, but why must he come into an incarnation and lose memory, conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way that he hopes to act? Could you expand on that please?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands. He then knows the game. It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk. The other hands are known. The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.

In time/space and in the true-color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye. The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen. There is no deception and no desire for deception. Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.

Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime. The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc. They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously. You may, during this incarnation begin — and we stress begin — to know your own cards. You may begin to find the love within you. You may begin to balance your pleasure, your limitations, etc. However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.

You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love; can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.

It seems to me that if someone completely understood the Law of One, that is, they understood the full unity of creation in a legitimate way, then there would be no ability to make the choice which Ra seems to feel is so important. We cannot "lose our cards in the melting influence of love" if understanding of the Law of One is grasped. We can choose to know the Law of One through faith - that is, we feel that the striving for unity through love is a worthy cause, but we don't know, or fully understand, that this unity is the prevailing truth.

Once we know, the choice cannot be made. If this full understanding is legitimate, then 3rd density is no longer useful or needed.

I think the quote Adonai One shared is important though, as it shows that we can, at some level, grasp the oneness of the Creator. I think that knowledge of this unity is buried, like Ra says, as "the mantling of the Earth over all the jewels within the Earth’s crust." We can find these jewels and share them with others, but there are still many jewels awaiting excavation.
