Quotes I Love

[AnthroHeart]

You're always experiencing infinity.

When you experience aggravation, you are experiencing it less clearly. If you're mind was a pond, aggravation would be indicative there are many ripples on the surface of this pond. Infinity is like the sun, the pond is like the mind, and body is like the container for the pond, giving it a certain shape for a while.

The ripples are caused by thoughts not consonant with unity. In fact, any thoughts cause some amount of distortion, but the further the thoughts get away from unity, the stronger the waves. The wind which causes the ripples is like desire, because it turns the mind/pond this way and that way. Desire directs attention.

When you desire purely to reflect the inpouring creator, then the wind begins to smooth out the ripples that are there. Eventually, it becomes still, and the pond purely reflects the light pouring down from above.

ever quoted yourself Gemini?

A few posts back I did, to make the responses clearer.

Even the desire to reflect the inpourings of the creator disturbs the surface of the pond, but it provides deconstructive interference towards the other currents of wind. When those are gone, then even that desire will go away, and everything will become still. Then there is no discernible difference between mind and spirit.

Desire, by its very nature implies there is still a gap between the desired and desirer. It is an affirmation of "is not yet".

Im not there yet either, but I've had sneak previews and that is how the path looks to me at this moment.

But the map is not the territory.

52.7 ↥ Questioner: Am I correct, then, in assuming that discipline of the personality, knowledge of self, and control, shall I say, in strengthening of the will would be what any fifth-density entity would see as those things of importance?

Ra: I am Ra. In actuality these things are of importance in third through early seventh densities. The only correction in nuance that we would make is your use of the word, control. It is paramount that it be understood that it is not desirable or helpful to the growth of the understanding, may we say, of an entity by itself to control thought processes or impulses except where they may result in actions not consonant with the Law of One. Control may seem to be a short-cut to discipline, peace, and illumination. However, this very control potentiates and necessitates the further incarnative experience in order to balance this control or repression of that self which is perfect.

Instead, we appreciate and recommend the use of your second verb in regard to the use of the will. Acceptance of self, forgiveness of self, and the direction of the will; this is the path towards the disciplined personality. Your faculty of will is that which is powerful within you as co-Creator. You cannot ascribe to this faculty too much importance. Thus it must be carefully used and directed in service to others for those upon the positively oriented path.

There is great danger in the use of the will as the personality becomes stronger, for it may be used even subconsciously in ways reducing the polarity of the entity.

Perfection is just an arbitrary definition.

Your real self is perfect peace, perfect love, infinite power, infinite creativity, flaw-less unity, infinite awareness, omniscient, and omnipresent across time and space. If that is perfection, then we are inherently perfect.

Everything else is just distortions, like ripples on a pond. They aren't imperfections, or "sins", just challenges to being directly aware of the clear light which constitutes our own essential nature.

Distortions, or illusions, are just reinterpretations, or perceptions of what is. "What is" never changes, but the lens (which is the mind) by which we look at it appears to.
