How Do STS's View Other Selves?

[OpalE]

Draw a circle in the sand.  Call its insides "What Is."  Draw a line compartmentalizing it.  Brand one of those sections as lesser / wrong / cosmically accidental ... or even worse (using whatever criteria you please), judge it as having no right to exist.  Congratulations, you've just created your own opposition.  Having fun meeting it continually as it tries to weasel its way back into its rightful place (or exact vengeance on you-who-have-wronged it).

I still believe this. Draw lines in reality (cast judgements) and you create your own illusion. To draw these for others (i.e. convince them that one's own distortions are the "true nature of reality") is to create their illusion for them ... to pull them into the particular illusion you've crafted. It's an STS power-game: know the board, know the rules, work your advantage in the game. What better way to claim that advantage that to spawn the rules (and the game itself) from your own distortions?


One of the first concepts outlined in the Ra material:

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things.

The distinction between 'cosmic truth' and 'truth within the illusion' is just one more arbitrary distortion by "which you amuse yourself," because:

You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
