Efficiency in the Ra Material

[Ankh]

I was driving around today and suddenly a thought struck me: why do those of Ra place so much emphasis on efficiency in our spiritual path?  They talk about STO being more efficient than STS, or a certain way of processing catalyst through experience being more or less efficient.  Maybe I'm being obtuse, but doesn't efficiency" imply a scarcity, as if there is a need to economize somehow.  But what is scarce?  Where is the economy needed?  Why is efficiency even, for that hi matter, desirable by the Creator, if it is at all?  In an infinite Creation, what could possibly be at stake that would require efficiency?

It occurs to me that perhaps this is about efficiency from the standpoint of the mind/body/spirit complex, not the unified Creator.  But the same question still applies.  Why would I, from any spiritual perspective, want efficiency in my path?  After all, the inborn bias that determines our choice of polarity is wrapped in mystery, according to those of Ra.  It's not as if the choice is some sort of calculation.  So whence the significance of efficiency as such a frequent bugaboo in the material?

Thanks for your thoughts.  This has gnawed at me for some time.

Hi Jeremy,

My understanding is that from the perspective of the One, there isn't anything at stake which would require efficiency, except a desire to know Itself. But perhaps from the perspective of third density mind/body/spirit complex, there is, as we experience time. You asked: "Why would I, from any spiritual perspective, want efficiency in my path?" My understanding is that since we experience time, you would want this efficiency because of the suffering or catalyst of sorrow. Not you personally perhaps, but maybe an average third density individual. Look what Ra said about our sorrow or suffering here:

"The general cause of service such as the Confederation offers is that of the primal distortion of the Law of One, which is service. The One Being of the creation is like unto a body, if you will accept this third-density analogy. Would we ignore a pain in the leg? A bruise upon the skin? A cut which is festering? No. There is no ignoring a call. We, the entities of sorrow, choose as our service the attempt to heal the sorrow which we are calling analogous to the pains of a physical body complex distortion."

So they came to aid us. They know we are "trapped" in time, so for us there is a difference if we suffer for 7, 75 or 75 000 years. They try to help by telling us what would be most efficient, i.e. take least amount of time and effort to be "free" from our sorrows.

From dictionary:

"efficiency

  
[ih-fish-uh n-see] /ɪˈfɪʃ ən si/
Spell Syllables

• Examples
  
• Word Origin
  

noun, plural efficiencies.

1. the state or quality of being efficient, or able to accomplish something with the least waste of time and effort; competency in performance.

2. accomplishment of or ability to accomplish a job with a minimum expenditure of time and effort:
The assembly line increased industry's efficiency.

3. the ratio of the work done or energy developed by a machine, engine, etc., to the energy supplied to it, usually expressed as a percentage."

My understanding is that since Ra is speaking to 3D, understanding its illusions, Ra talk about "efficiency" in order for us to get our "salvation" with least amount of energy or time put to it, would we choose it.

Love,
Lana.
