Lotsa Questions

[Jade]

Giving love doesn't mean others won't ruin your life on a whim.

This is very true.

1. What constitutes Catalyst?  What derives it's function and being?  What gives it substance or the ability to create to an entity polarization?

Absolutely every thing that happens to you is catalyst. Its function is to give you a choice - the choice boils simply down to "do I serve myself or do I serve others?" - or ignore it. But there is a spectrum of choices, there isn't just one right or wrong by any means. Polarization is created when one consciously chooses to focus on one vibrational choice - either service to self or service to others - service to self being the choice to repeatedly close the heart, service to others being the choice to repeatedly open the heart.

2. Does Polarity adhere wholly to a duality system or can it be threefold, fourfold, and further faceted into differing points of the same 'polygonal-graph' spectrum (3+ directions) (versus a line-graph spectrum ((2 directions)), if you guys understand what I mean?)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Polarity is a huge spectrum, but I think there are only two main choices. It's like other dichotomous things - male/female, happy/sad, patience/impatience.

3. Responding to Catalyst creates the potential for Polarization to occur, what does this mean?

If you respond to catalyst, you are making a choice. If your response is to ignore the catalyst, most often that doesn't result in polarization, unless there's a justification to ignore the catalyst (I won't snap and yell at this person because I don't want to hurt their feelings = slight positive polarization, I don't want to yell at this person because it makes me look bad = slightly negative polarization)

4. In a society of backwards things, do things considered 'wrong' by society turn out actually to be proper?  I.e things like homosexuality, transgender people, substance usage like thc or...myocilin (stuff in mushrooms), or other hallucinogens (DMT, LSD?)

This is a key point to breaking out of third density. Ra says it's very important to "free ourselves more and more from the constraints of other selves" = what society thinks.

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.

It is typical of the training that the culture offers to the individual that the spontaneous and rhythmic harmonization of the self with all will be systematically and thoroughly interrupted, for it is not useful for society to have a tribe of completely mindful and aware beings. Rather, what is the easiest block of entities to govern turns out actually to be those who have turned their concept of themselves over to the orthodox ways of thinking and then have begun to measure themselves by those yardsticks that the culture and the society puts forth. As each becomes a so-called adult, each more or less finds itself necessarily moving into those areas of work and employment and the chores of living that constitute keeping body and soul together for those within third density.

In the culture in which you now enjoy living the hope is not that the entities will be mindful, but, rather, that they will be mind-persuaded in the ways in which the culture wishes its citizens to think, behave and move. As far as an unawakened spirit can tell, what is required of it is that it get a job, pay for the privilege of having space in which to live and food to eat. This economic concern, namely, that each citizen will take care of itself and its dependents, ranks far above any consideration in terms of public policy of the spiritual evolution of its citizens. Naturally, this not being the obvious concern of governmental or cultural entities this has never, for the most part, been questioned. No one expects the government or the culture to require mindfulness of its citizens.

However, we would say more than this. In order to become a citizen of eternity it seems necessary to become one that is athwart society. You may think of it in terms of being radical or in terms of being other than the mind control of the culture. This may seem an extreme statement but there is a seduction of principles and values that goes on within the daily intellectual life that the culture offers through its newspapers and various other information sources which offers to its citizens much information

5. Do thoughts count as Catalyst and are they capable of Polarization by themselves?

Polarization/catalyst begins in knowing the mind complex - Ra has steps to follow to do this. I think then the adept must balance the mind and the body. Then, once that is understood, I believe it is possible to deal with catalyst more readily in just the mind and with just thoughts - but the problem is, most people have "thoughts" and "actions" that are incongruent, so if you are polarizating one way in your mind but taking actions that negate that polarization, this is a lack of understanding being applied.

6. Do the energies of Anger and its associated variations of extremities belong to the Red-ray or the Orange-Ray chakra?

Every response you have to catalyst begins at the red ray, then moves to the orange ray, etc. It will baffle (cause emotional reactions) where blocked. If the issue is survival, it's red ray. If it's more personal with other entities, it's orange.

7. Is polarity measured like a thermometer that slowly lowers and raises in small (or large) increments?

Oh, that's an interesting question. I guess since Ra uses the percentages out of a hundred, I would picture it more as a pie, a pie that is my heart, and how full that pie/heart is.

I explored for a while negative polarity and found it to be in many ways on the shallow end of it's spectrum exactly like positive polarity, leaving me to wonder if polarity is something worth getting hung up over on since as it's said, there is no right or wrong according to the metaphysical reality.  (A general statement that I'm sure has some exceptions to it.)

Polarity is a part of third density, which we are all a part of.

8. Is the negative and positive polarities worth exploring into the extremes?  I know the answer depends on the individual, I'm asking in general for the vast majority of the population.

For the vast majority of the population? Not likely. For 6th density Wanderers? Probably. Mind you, any negative entity -has- to get to the extreme end of the spectrum in third density to harvest as such.

9. Can the negative be used for positive?  Does this make it negative or positive polarization?

You can use essentially bad experiences to polarize positively. In fact, look at the Significator of the Mind - the black imp is at the heals of his right side and the white imp is at the heals of his left side - what seems "negative" can serve for positive polarization and what seems "positive" can serve for negative polarization.

10. If selflessness is positive polarity and selfishness is negative polarity, what does being selfishly selfish and selflessly selfish cause polarization wise?

I don't know, a lack of aware polarization?

Assuming for a second that the following statement sums up the purpose of catalyst, 'Suffering to Learn a Lesson', does this mean:
11. Can Earth's Reality, created to help evolution, be summed up as being a 'selfish usage of creation by creation for creation disregarding creation'?

You can spin it that way if you want. I see it as an expression of the infinity of the Creator. Ra says that our third density is the product of many, many experiments into consciousness, and this is the type of experience that creates polarization the most efficiently, and is the most vivid.

Now, not assuming catalyst isn't summed up that way as 'Suffering to Learn a Lesson', does this mean:
12. Can Earth's Reality, created to help evolution, be summed up as being a 'selfish usage of creation by creation for creation'?

It's a use of the Free Will of the Logos - and Ra says free will didn't exist before the veil. So if you agree that will = selfish, then you can spin it that way. But ultimately everything is the will of the Creator.

13. Does Crystallization mean the area in the physical body where the energy center is found 'solidify' or is this happening upon the metaphysical planes attached to the physical plane, but not occurring in a way physically measureable upon the physical plane?

It happens on the metaphysical plane but if you attune to your chakras regularly, I think you can keep track of their progress.

14. Is the Red-ray chakra fixed like the Violet-ray chakra?  What does this mean?

No. The violet ray is the thermometer of the individual, which means it can't be affected directly but only through balancing the other chakras. The red ray is the first place where we take in all of our experiences - and evaluate each experience based on our ability to survive in the new circumstances. Sometimes, things like worry about having money to buy food can affect the red ray. It will also ultimately affect the violet ray, but you have more conscious control over the red ray's functioning than the violet ray's balance.

15. What are some of the functions of the Violet-ray chakra?  Is it the totality as-in the Mind/Body/Spirit Complex Totality?

The violet ray is our access to intelligent energy. Other entities outside of this density can perceive us through our violet ray. Whether it's analogous to the mind/body/spirit complex totality, I don't think so.

16. What are some ideas of how to handle balancing chakras when one suffers from the catalyst of mental illnesses?

Meditation. Setting intentions. Working diligently on the chakras in order (red thoroughly, then orange thoroughly, etc)

17. Is the alarm clock effect of the 11:11 phenomenon (including other numbers like 2:22, 3:33, 4:44 and such) meant as a spiritual alarm clock, or is it an alarm clock for the collective unconscious?

Synchronicities are usually personal, but we definitely have collective alarm clocks, too.

18. What are the chances that Cosmic Universal Unconditional Love can be mistaken by Humanity as indiscriminate, indifferent, or even apathetic?

I don't think very high, but Ra says that negative entities see the green ray as "folly". I don't think collectively we'll miss it - seniority of vibration has seated mostly Wanderers/early fourth density entities at this time of transition.

19. If someone commits suicide, and does not wish to reincarnate again, does Free Will dictate the choice made, or is the life left on mandatory to be completed?  Does refusing to complete this reincarnation cause stagnation? (Asking because some NDE's seem to contradict the 'mandatory' and seems to point more towards 'choice')

I've always thought it was a "choice" and not a mandate, but the choice being obvious to one who isn't behind the veil anymore. While incarnated, we can't assume we'll know what we want after we die.

Carla's NDE gave her the choice to come back and experience two childhoods to spread out her catalyst so it was more manageable. She said no to that and decided to complete this incarnation, in which she was mostly through childhood.

20. Is kundalini the 'divine' purpose of humanity?  (As in, is raising the serpent to the green ray the entire point of kundalini's being at all?)

Well, according to Ra, that is the whole point of this game: Raising the kundalini to green ray or, raising the kundalini to indigo by bypassing the green ray.

At no point is a clear and discernible 'point for being' given in the Ra Material, the closest idea given to this is that the point of being is to discover more about the infinite nature of being.  This is in essence a fruitless if not empty endeavor, as infinity cannot be fully known, otherwise it would cease to be infinite (never-ending/beginning).  This potentially nullifies the point of self-exploration, turning it potentially into an eternity long task with no completion possible. Because of this:
21. Is the Law of One a form of Nihilism?

It certainly is for a lot of people. But not for me. The Law of One gave context and purpose to the struggles of my life.

22. What would the proper term to describe this belief system be?  Pantheistic??

I think pantheism works, as does monism.

Truly though my biggest questions are these:
23. What is Catalyst, How does it Work, and Why does it work that way?
24. What is Polarity, How does it Work, and Why does it work that way?

Catalyst is just about any and every event that can happen to you that you can think about and process. Catalyst is dripping from the walls of third density. It works this way because of many, many experiments by various Logoi to try to create the most efficient "school" possible.

Polarity was invented when the veil was invented. Before the veil of darkness, there was only one polarity. Now that the veil has been invoked, people have "free will" to choose either to continue to serve the Creator unendingly, or to make other choices along the way. According the Ra, polarity in third density is the "axis upon which creation turns" which, to me means, that it's us and our choices in third density that echo through Creation that allow other densities to have a greater variety of choices and things to do to serve. Before polarity, before constant catalyst, experience was pallid and predictable. Can you imagine being able to read through a whole novel that has no conflict? That's why we have polarity: It's a whole new facet of experience for the Creator to explore. You may see it as infinite and therefore futile, but I see it as infinite and therefore ripe with potential for new experiences.
