Are martyrs actually selfish auto-addicts?

[Merrick]

Here is what Ra said:

75.15 ▶ Questioner: The chink then, as I understand it, was originally created by the decision of Jesus to take the path of martyrdom? Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is, in relation to this instrument, quite correct. It is aware of certain over-balances towards love, even to martyrdom but has not yet, to any significant degree, balanced these distortions. We do not imply that this course of unbridled compassion has any fault but affirm its perfection. It is an example of love which has served as beacon to many.

For those who seek further, the consequences of martyrdom must be considered, for in martyrdom lies the end of the opportunity, in the density of the martyr, to offer love and light. Each entity must seek its deepest path.

So the imbalance in this case is love over wisdom, even through Jesus was able to graduate to fifth density. Ra also states that his martyrdom has served as a beacon to many.

Ra cautions people to consider the consequences of becoming a martyr, but I do not see any outright condemnation of it.
