I guess this is what Tolstoy talks about when he talks about hypocrisy. Yes, of course, ultimately, "being" is more important than "doing", but if what we "do" is counter to how we want to "be", our "pure being" is undone by what we do.
The whole of our planet is sick and in danger of being annihilated. Of course, Ra tells us this won't happen, which I think puts people into a bit of complacency. The fact is, when you buy something today, you are almost undoubtedly supporting slavery. Say I go and buy a new dress for $10, and the tag says "Made in Indonesia" or some other small country whose labor supplies our goods. I know, from watching a documentary, that those who make our clothing are literal slaves. I don't need the dress, I just want it. How does this effect my being? Are we really free to continue to contribute to slavery, to buy products made from the SLAVE LABOR of others, while we live in relative extravagance? Do you think when we look back on this lifetime, we will say, "Oh yes, look at me, I kept my balance while I consumed all that I desired from those who are oppressed, I was a beacon of light!"
Or, do we want to look at our incarnations, and see the comforts we SACRIFICED (not mentioned by Ra very often but a very important part of the service to others path) for the greater good?
Ra teaches the integration of mind/body/spirit. Ra says that the spirit must be "fructified" and released into conscious manifestation, lest the bird is never free from its cage. I think SO MANY "nonduality" teachers these days teach that one must rise above the body, that "being" is seperate from "doing". But being is not separate from doing, unless you are living in a cave like a monk, not engaging with others in any way. If you are engaging with others, including buying goods that were made with the labor of others, you have a responsibility with your "doing".
So yes, being > doing, but doing can totally mess up your state of being without you even realizing it. I think this is what Ra means when they talk about unconsciously polarizing negative if one is not diligent. Separating the mind and body (being and doing) is the negative path. Integrating the two so that they harmonize is the positive path, to the best of my understanding.
As far as the chakras go, Ra also says that the throat chakra will always have blockage until the heart chakra is completely unblocked. I think that requires a lot of -sacrifice- of one's being, yes even martyrdom - giving up some creature comforts, out of compassion for those who are enslaved because of our demand for an easy existence. I feel like talking about these things, sharing truth in the face of hypocrisy, putting light onto lies - I believe this is the function of the blue-ray, while incarnate in third density. Moving the energies, with understanding, through the chakras and into the blue ray. Now, my heart chakra is certainly not fully unblocked, so my blue ray is faulty for sure, but in my estimation I am articulating shrouded yellow-ray concepts with the blue-ray. If you think that what I am doing here, speaking out, "rearranging peoples" or whatever is hypocritical, then we all need to abstain from communicating with each other!!! But to the best of my understanding, we cannot abstain from "doing", so we still have a responsibility with our "doing", even if our "being" is quite bright and pure.
I mean, let's look at your two examples. They obviously had done a lot of DOING, as a service to the yellow-ray sphere. Where would we be without them? Where would we be without those who spoke up for truth in the face of hypocrisy? The idea that this is less spiritual is toxic, I'm sorry peregrine, but that's the best thing I can say about that interpretation of the philosophy. Of course, putting an emphasis on doing OVER being is equally as dangerous to the state of one's energetic balance. But if one uses their being to inform their doing - with lots of meditation and processing of catalyst - they are COMPELLED to serve others, as that is what Ra says that a wide-open indigo ray produces.
So, I feel that at this time, with so much advertisement and fake news and brainwashing and all of the constant attempts to mislead people, that to attempt to speak through all the falsities is a necessary service.

Quote:The patterns of activation of an entity of high seniority will undoubtedly move with some rapidity to the green-ray level which is the springboard to primary blue. There is always some difficulty in penetrating blue primary energy for it requires that which your people have in great paucity; that is, honesty. Blue ray is the ray of free communication with self and with other-self. Having accepted that an harvestable or nearly harvestable entity will be working from this green-ray springboard one may then posit that the experiences in the remainder of the incarnation will be focused upon activation of the primary blue ray of freely given communication, of indigo ray, that of freely shared intelligent energy, and if possible, moving through this gateway, the penetration of violet-ray intelligent infinity. This may be seen to be manifested by a sense of the consecrate or hallowed nature of everyday creations and activities.Ra says we must teach what we learn, which I interpret to literally mean, we must act informed with our being. Perfect discussion for the thread peregrine, thank you. I think our responsibility is to act better once we know better. If it became widely known that Herbal Essences shampoo had a toxic element that started making people's pet dogs drop dead, you'd bet that most people would quit using that shampoo, of their own volition - regardless of whether or not Herbal Essences bans the compound as an entity. To say that your being can override the doing of the shampoo MAY BE ACCURATE, for those who are extremely magical and HAVE risen above the confines of the body. But I believe one must learn to work within the confines of the body before they can supersede it, and I'm sorry but I don't think anyone here has those powers on a large scale. Here is where I would post an image of the Experience of the Body, where we have a woman who is stroking the lion with her right hand but choking it with her left. How do we see physical reality - as something to oppress? Or repress? To force ourselves onto? Or something to cooperate with, to grow with. To see all other beings and this planet as an extension of ourselves, and only wish upon them that which we wish for ourselves - and avoiding those things that we do not wish for ourselves, even if it is in our estimation that others have "incarnated for those lessons". We incarnated for the lesson of standing up for love and unity in the face of separation. If you think I am doing that wrong, I would be especially appreciative of any more feedback you have.
