A proposal

[Jade]

If we take Jade's expression of desire for power and control over this thread or forum based on her vision of what it should be and for which kind of other-selves she has compassion for and resonate

I don't have a personal vision of the forums. I have a set of guidelines that are my rules that we all have agreed to by posting here. Those rules include not furthering a negative philosophy, and respecting other selves, and no hate speech. Sjel made his version of this post, without anyone's permission, and it was so beyond anything that would ever be appropriate to post on this forum, that when I saw another thread that was the same idea, I was probably a bit pricklier than GR's tone alone asked for. But, based on the guidelines of the forum, I do not think this is an appropriate "exercise" given our intentions as a group.

I'm shocked that anyone would disagree that a service to others group wouldn't want to harmonize above all. Ra says it was the harmony of the trio that allowed them to continue their service in spite of all the set backs, negative greetings, and ill health of the group. Seems like a good effort to make to me, but obviously if the group is in disagreement on this fundamental level then that will be difficult to achieve.

I'm in a 7 year marriage. There is never even the thought of intentional antagonization of each other to further our growth. Learning to love better is the goal of service to others beings. Sure, the OP is providing a service of being a "difficult to love being" or whatever, but as I said, I have plenty of people in my real life who are challenging enough. If someone on this forum feels like they need to be furthered challenged by a stranger on the internet, there are many other forums out there. I do not believe this is the place to deliberately antagonize each other.

I'm just here to teach. Your level of understanding of shadow and light is not really my responsibility...

Unfortunately, as a moderator, what is my responsibility, is when someone purports to be here to "teach" and they themselves seem to have a tentative grasp on polarity as delineated in the Ra material. I think a lot of this thread is extremely confused about how polarity works. We are in third density. EVERYTHING is polarized. We must  "internalize the polarity of [our] dimension". We can't say "Well, Ra's approaching oneness, so I am too." No. You are incarnated in third density. You are supposed to choose. This is the whole point.

I think such people are actually more floating in the 'sinkhole of indifference' rather than doing any real polarizing, imo.

Yes, I've tried to make this point many times before. Polarity = power. Switching polarities back and forth does not create spiritual power. Choosing "oneness" (or not choosing a polarity) does not create spiritual power. Dedication to a path is what creates spiritual power. [19.19] The STO path just leads more quickly to the Oneness that we seek.

I'd also add I don't think the choice can be faked nor forced, so sometimes facing yourself in different ways is your only mean to make a choice.

The Choice is an act of the will. It must be made consciously. It's not going to be made for you.

Third density is "broken". Our planet is highly inharmonious, sick, bellicose, angry, hurt, etc etc etc, from an entire 75,000 year cycle of humans, starting with beings from Mars after they destroyed their sphere. As wanderers, we have incarnated to lighten and alleviate this planet's vibrations, not to engage with them or add to them. And we have to actively wake up and make that choice every day - at least, I know I do! Eventually, the more we make the choice consciously, the more it becomes unconscious - not the other way around.

94.12 Questioner: It seems to me that the Experience of the Mind would act in such a way as to change the nature of the veil so that catalyst would be filtered so as to be more acceptable in the bias that is increasingly chosen by the entity. For instance, if the entity had chosen the right-hand path the Experience of the Mind would change the permeability of the veil to accept more and more positive catalyst, and also the other would be true for accepting more negative if the left-hand path were the one that was repeatedly chosen. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is not only correct but there is a further ramification. As the entity increases in experience it shall, more and more, choose positive interpretations of catalyst if it is upon the service-to-others path and negative interpretations of catalyst if its experience has been along the service-to-self path.
