There is nothing wrong with what you're saying, I think your insights are all extremely intelligent and valuable.
In this specific case, they just don't apply to me personally, because I'm not philosophizing (though I do like to do that too so I could understand how you might think I am)
Philosophizing: using reasons to deduce how things must be
Fantasizing: imagining different ways things COULD be
Experiencing: seeing things for yourself
Gnosis: knowing things in a Godlike, almost impossible to describe way
In this case I'm speaking from experience rather than philosophy or intellect. My intellect does understand it, but only because my intellect has experienced it, and in that experiencing, my intellect slightly redefined the words to fit the experienced reality.
So for example before I experienced perfection I thought that perfection meant something, but after I experienced perfection I realized it meant something more. I realized what "they" meant when "they" say perfection. If I had to answer "how" i experienced this, I would say "the disciplines of the personality".
My view is that compassion and action are not just compatible, but are inseparable from unity with the one infinite creator. This view comes from experience rather than philosophy. So it's not something I can substantiate.
Note that Ra never said witness. Ra said "the pure". I think you guys have all made it really clear why "witness" is not the best word. It is easily confused with "indifferent bystander"
I assure you, The One Infinite Creator is NOT an indifferent bystander. The One Infinite Creator is active, and compassionate, infinitely compassionate.
Having said all that... I think your reasoning is extremely good but it's just not quite applicable to my own thoughts on this issue.
