The term sleep, as Ra uses mainly to refer to making the choice and polarizing, and the term sleep to refer to suppression of one's lessons are different terms with different meanings. I'll call Ra's term of sleep to refer to nonpolarized-sleep, and I'll characterize the OP's term of sleep (at least how he describes it in the body) as suppression-sleep. It's not totally clear, but you may be using the two different terms of sleep interchangeably when they have different meanings.
It seems what you are describing in the OP is suppression-sleep. Suppression of one's painful experiences are something that many people do, including spiritually awakened and non-spiritual people. Certainly Buddha-level people may have almost or no suppression, but suppression I think is common and it's just a matter of how much various people do it. I would say, in my experience, that suppression-sleep is never helpful, and simply a coping mechanism that stems from fear.
Nonpolarized-sleep is different. Some entities see the choice but are not ready to make it. Other entities are very young and simply are in darkness and sleep and that's what they want, with no real understanding of the deeper nature of reality.
I think in conclusion, when Ra says that "To those who wish to sleep we could only offer those comforts designed for the sleeping", Ra is referring to those not wishing to make a choice. " I don't think Ra has the same advice for those who wish to engage in suppression-sleep.
Quote:89.30 Questioner: Would Ra’s attitude toward the same unharvestable entities be different at this nexus than at the time of harvest of third density?
Ra: I am Ra. Not substantially. To those who wish to sleep we could only offer those comforts designed for the sleeping. Service is only possible to the extent it is requested. We were ready to serve in whatever way we could. This still seems satisfactory as a means of dealing with other-selves in third density. It is our feeling that to be each entity which one attempts to serve is to simplify the grasp of what service is necessary or possible.
[font=sans-serif]21.9 Questioner: Now, when the 75,000-year cycle started, [the] life span was approximately nine hundred years, average. What was the process and scheduling of— mechanism, shall I say, of reincarnation at that time, and how did the time in between incarnations into third-density physical apply to the growth of the mind/body/spirit complex?
Ra: I am Ra. This query is more complex than most. We shall begin. The incarnation pattern of the beginning third-density mind/body/spirit complex begins in darkness, for you may think or consider of your density as one of, as you may say, a sleep and a forgetting. This is the only plane of forgetting. It is necessary for the third-density entity to forget so that the mechanisms of confusion or free will may operate upon the newly individuated consciousness complex.
Thus, the beginning entity is one in all innocence oriented towards animalistic behavior using other-selves only as extensions of self for the preservation of the all-self. The entity becomes slowly aware that it has needs, shall we say, that are not animalistic; that is, that are useless for survival. These needs include: the need for companionship, the need for laughter, the need for beauty, the need to know the universe about it. These are the beginning needs.
As the incarnations begin to accumulate, further needs are discovered: the need to trade, the need to love, the need to be loved, the need to elevate animalistic behaviors to a more universal perspective.
During the first portion of third-density cycles, incarnations are automatic and occur rapidly upon the cessation of energy complex of the physical vehicle. There is small need to review or to heal the experiences of the incarnation. As, what you would call, the energy centers begin to be activated to a higher extent, more of the content of experience during incarnation deals with the lessons of love.
Thus the time, as you may understand it, between incarnations is lengthened to give appropriate attention to the review and the healing of experiences of the previous incarnation. At some point in third density, the green-ray energy center becomes activated and at that point incarnation ceases to be automatic.[/font]
