Lotsa Questions

[Minyatur]

And how is anger distilled? To me this is done through finding the root of anger which is not anger.

I actually find it funny that I first agreed with this, then rereading it had the thought, 'if all things are all things then the root of anger both is and is not anger' which made me think about how that could be.

All I can think is in an eternal sense, the energy of anger is there drawing me to manifest it, and this is the root energetically, but physically the root is the cause of a response to energies like worthlessness, powerlessness, helplessness, and such.

Since eternally there is only one which is all, it seems self-perpetuation becomes possible by the future drawing past events to itself, making itself happen.

I think here you are touching on the unity of all moments. Is the One whole without a portion of Itself? Is love whole without a facet of itself?

There are many aspects to reality which are of themselves of a more timeless nature and time is then a parameter for the expression of their spectrum as separate portions. Anger is to love what a color is to white light.

I mean, in tandem with your comment of trying to be an higher self, I first thought that wasn't possible cause it hasn't happened yet, then remembered simultaneity makes it possible as I'm being fed information from both the past and future as far as time/space connections are concerned.

I think the Higher Self is a more particular point. Even without the aspect of "absolute simultaneity", time should not be understood as a linear concept in my view.

37.6 Questioner: In that case, we’ll go ahead with the questions we have here continuing the last session. You said that each third-density entity has an higher self in the sixth density which is moving to the mind/body/spirit complex of the entity as needed. Does this higher self also evolve in growth through the densities beginning with the first density, and does each higher self have a corresponding higher self advanced in densities beyond it?

Ra: I am Ra. To simplify this concept is our intent. The higher self is a manifestation given to the late sixth-density mind/body/spirit complex as a gift from its future selfness. The mid-seventh density’s last action before turning towards the allness of the Creator and gaining spiritual mass is to give this resource to the sixth-density self, moving as you measure time in the stream of time.

This self, the mind/body/spirit complex of late sixth density, has then the honor/duty of using both the experiences of its total living bank or memory of experienced thoughts and actions, and using the resource of the mind/body/spirit complex totality left behind as a type of infinitely complex thought-form.

In this way you may see your self, your higher self or Oversoul, and your mind/body/spirit complex totality as three points in a circle. The only distinction is that of your time/space continuum. All are the same being.

To me, the Higher Self is more of a portion of the self than a distinct self to the self. In the same fashion I'd describe Intelligent Infinity as the Highest Self, which is whole even when contempled by any sub-portion of Infinity.

The closer you are to your Higher Self, the more you are conscious of your beingness within this Octave, just as the closer you are to Intelligent Infinity, the more you are conscious of your beingness as Infinity. The further you are from any of those, the more your conscious awareness is akin to an unconscious aspect of your truer being just like Infinity is not something you become but that you are. Truth is, your Higher Self is not merely something along the line of your future, it is something you are nothing without. It is a least separated/illusion-bound portion of what you are.

The disciplines of the personality are essentially to transcend these attributes/limitations which you did not choose in your conscious awareness. You can consider them as the matrix of mind, body and spirit.

Is this an echo of 5.2 and Ra's teachings of the mental disciplines?

The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smooths part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.

Because if it is, I should mention I'm not touching the Archetypes for a long time.  Too much potential for personality shatters to happen to me...

the rigor or training effect of experience, adversity, etc.:
the harsh discipline of poverty.

My mind isn't flexible enough to bend under the rigor of the training of the personality to manifest consciously the energies of the archetypes.  It's more like a creaking snapping sound, then some cracks emerge leading up to a total shatter.  Not quite ready for any of that yet...

Just responding to a few parts of your post, Min, still considering further your's and muad-dib's posts.

Here I'd say it can be a quite simple work. Whenever you think in a particular way or feel things in a particular way, remind yourself you are not only this view. The ability of the adept is one to step back from the cause and effect of the moment to attain a higher view of the same moment.

I had in mind the other quote I shared in this thread (74.11) which said the goal of the disciplines of the personality are to become transparent in personality. I think this part was quite important "There is then no personality in the sense with which the adept begins its learn/teaching". It's all about learn/teaching what the Creator is and to be transparent in personality is to not block on aspects of what your reality feeds you of the Creator but to seek to learn of the Creator in all things.
