When an open heart implies chaos

[xise]

I think this single Ra quote, which repeatedly gets used on these forums as an example of the dangers of having a too-open heart, is being taken completely out of context.

I too agree that there's no such thing as a too-open heart. I think I need to backtrack a bit as I would agree that I don't think it's all that dangerous to work with green and my earlier post did seem to have that tone that it was dangerous (whether green adept-level workings or just green workings). I do believe it is, however, a longer path than directly working with the lower rays, while keeping the heart open, and to naturally allow the love to flow upward:


I would only posit that I see many people who take a longer path focusing on the heart when they have severely distorted lower rays - you see this in many forms of Christianity where the heart is emphasized, often to the detriment of loving life or loving self or embracing one's sexuality - some versions of Christianity actively preach life is painful, or that the self is not worthy, a person is completely powerless, etc. For this distorted Christian hypothetical, I am only saying that it may be faster to understand the nature of love if you keep one's open heart as is but focus on truly getting to a place where you understand that life is not inherently painful  (red) and that you are worthy of love (orange), etc.


I am probably not explaining myself properly. But I feel I've met a lot of people in life, including family members, who have stagnated in their spiritual journey and in their understanding of love, and perhaps even haven't met harvestability, because they focus on the heart without understanding how the lower ray concepts build naturally into unconditional love. Ie they profess unconditional love to others, but judge the s*** out of themselves. They hate life. They find they are powerless. And when they are faced with catalyst of these lower rays, their green ray temporarily shuts down. They struggle to radiate love on a daily basis because of such catalyst. Often the mantra is to have faith and just 'try harder' and perhaps it does eventually work. But I think there's a more direct path is to accept, integrate, and learn from the lower ray catalyst.


I will say that the touch of green ray unconditional love does give one great faith that the universe makes sense, and was key to my spiritual path, and was the springboard into exploring the Ra material and all of the concepts in general. Though I used the green ray revelation / perhaps temporarily piercing of the veil to motivate my self-work on my lower rays, as opposed to the green ray first path that you followed Stranger. But either way, there is indeed something to be said of a green-ray first path.
