Quote:My example was still about you feeling called to do this through a feeling of love, else yeah my example makes no sense within the context.
And my point is that "both the virginal and prostituted mind await the reaching", i.e. the prostitute needs love too, and will ask for it and expect it in the way that she's used to. It's how we go about expressing that love that is important, not just that we give it. Am I going to respond to her initial, shallow cry for help, i.e., have sex with me and pay me for it so I can use the transferable resources in another way, or am I going to find a better way to facilitate that energy exchange? Again, you can feel love while pillaging the earth and drilling a huge hole and singing songs about money while you do it - but this isn't the type of "love" we are talking about!!! This card is about cultivating green-ray compassion on the STO path. Is someone drilling into the earth's crust to extract its resources purely for financial gain doing it out of compassion? No. They are doing it out of "love", though, certainly!!
You can be upset about "forced harvest" but this is so much of what Ra's philosophy is about, it's not just my shallow interpretation. 4D is coming/here. 3D energies are still lingering for all of those who want them, but slowly those who need them are incarnating on another planet where the 3D energies are still "entrenched". I mean, I think this is the best thing that can be done to preserve free will at this point - the clock has struck the hour, as Ra says. Are your intentions of service to delay the harvest of the planet? I think this is something that's way bigger than we can possibly imagine, Harvest doesn't just involve this one planet or this one race of incarnate 3rd density entities.
I do not know on the grand scale why the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow answer the calls of service in the ways they do, such as the way they answer calls from other densities and by sending Wanderers here. But one thing I take on faith is that it must be a valiant effort and goal to work towards, to help be the catalyst towards another's spiritual progress. A catalyst is the process of adding something to the mix to change it. We're all catalyst all the time, it's just a matter of refining the chemical reaction we are trying to instigate.
You said in another post that you just don't reach often, and that's why it's hard to resonate with courting. And I think this is exactly why Ra says "go forth and court" - because the archetypes are also about developing the will. Sure, I don't like to "reach" either, but another thing I take on faith is Ra's instructions to move about amongst other entities as a good service - I resonate very strongly with this. So, I'm trying to cultivate how, where, what I reach for - that is the whole point. My mind complex is constantly feeding unconscious "reaches", it's about learning how to cultivate a real desire for something to reach for. Yeah, Carla could have let the negative entity sweep her away to negative time/space, and sure, she would have learned lots of lessons about love and herself, but she is a Co-Creator and she used the power of her will to reach for an experience that aligned more with her personal desires as a fragmented piece of the Creator trying to have a co-operative experience. Desire itself it's not a bad thing, we've just complicated it thoroughly with the veil.
3rd density, as Ra describes it, is a very complex "simulation" where there are lots of rules and lots of trial and error attempts have been made to perfect its experience. We're supposed to interact with it while we are incarnated, otherwise, I believe, we are totally missing the point. We can spend eons in 5th density in a cave by ourselves sending love and light and letting others reach and cultivating our own wisdom, but we are here to make choices. We are here to experience the limitations of those choices, of choosing one thing and letting go of another - which is precisely the opposite of infinity. That's what the veil is for. That's why most Wanderers are 6th density - they spent all that time cultivating wisdom, time to be foolish again! Ignorance is bliss after all.
Quote:93.24 Questioner: I am assuming that you mean one full question, and I’ll make that question: I’d like to know the significance of the shape of the crux ansata, and if that’s too much of an answer I will just ask if there is anything we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or improve the contact?
Ra: I am Ra. There are mathematical ratios within this image which may yield informative insights to one fond of riddles. We shall not untangle the riddle. We may indicate that the crux ansata is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical mind, the circle indicating the magic of the spirit, the cross indicating that nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing. Thus the crux ansata is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation through the sacrifice and transformation of that which is manifest.
Quote:To go back on the archetype, I believe it is used when it seeks alignment with something. In my case I desire to be loving yet also to not betray myself in the process, which is part of how I desire to be loving.
And, again, you are free to use the transformation of the mind as you please, however, I will not acquiesce to accepting that your description of the archetype is representative of what Ra talks about with the transformation of the mind. What do you mean by, "to not betray myself in the process"? Because to me that seems like a caveat that allows you to avoid the type of dedication that is required/implied by the card. How can you betray yourself if you are serving the will of All? I feel as if you haven't actually studied Ra's archetypes with depth but have inferred your own course after discarding Ra's. I have no problem with that, except in the context of this thread where we are talking about courting the maiden.
Any thoughts on any of the other elements I've tried to introduce into the conversation? What do you make of the genie? How do you feel about the word compassion?
