Yes, perhaps that is the best solution. I'll try messaging a mod after writing this (EDIT: done).

Yes, I agree. I believe this is the most powerful thing there is.

Sinkhole of indifference.
In a way, those people are stating (unconsciously) that they want neither 4d negative nor 4d positive, but rather prefer life here on Earth, 3d, and all the polarities involved. There's this extract from TLOO that I feel is rather powerful:Quote:19.18 ▶ Questioner: I assume that an entity on either path can decide to choose paths at any time and possibly retrace steps, the path-changing being more difficult the farther along is gone. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. The further an entity has, what you would call, polarized, the more easily this entity may change polarity, for the more power and awareness the entity will have.
Those truly helpless are those who have not consciously chosen but who repeat patterns without knowledge of the repetition or the meaning of the pattern.
That's a good example that you provided, with Elon Musk. Having thought a little about it, I would start by saying that, even though I don't know much about Musk, he has come across to me as an unhappy person.
It is very often pointed out, not just in LTOO material, but in spiritual sources in general, that love is our essence; that we are literally made of love. There are personality theories involving the core basic concept that every general type of personality is caused by a combination of genetics and of the strategies adopted during childhood on how to best go about getting love from other people (with some personality types being caused by the belief that love is downright unattainable). I'm strongly of the opinion that love is what gives meaning to our lifes, and, indeed, it is many people whose greatest regret at their deathbed is to have focused too much on work in their lifetime.
STS is called "the path of that which is not". I see it as kind of a cop-out. The "love" that motivates STS, I feel, is more like a substitute for the kind of love that the soul of the STS entity truly desires. After all, Ra said that there was no STS path when there was no veil, which makes a strong case for the view that the entire reason for the existence of the STS path is to motivate everybody else in a more efficient manner into choosing STO, making such choice all that much more significant and meaningful. And I think it was Q'uo who said that there's a kind of beautiful and sweet innocence in the souls that chose STS once they switch polarities at 6th density and start enjoying the delights of connectedness, harmony and oneness.
This is not to say that Musk is STS. I don't know what polarity he could possibly be. And with what I said I didn't mean to imply that love overrides all of our individual dreams and aspirations in life. The latter are probably the result of our own free will as individually given to each of us by the Creator. All I can say is that it is my belief that someone who hasn't balanced and fulfilled both aspects of him or herself (the love portion and the free will portion) has not found true satisfaction in life. I may be wrong, but don't believe that Musk has found such balance or satisfaction.

This is why I like the information given by the Confederation so much, because they insist on the Creation being an infinite playground where infinite experiences can be had. However, there seems to be a limiting aspect to it, and that is that this infinity of experiences seems to have been put at our disposal so that we grow tired of playing in this infinite sandbox and we start turning towards the only things in said infinity that can truly satisfy us: Love, and the path back towards the Creator. In my own life I feel that I was born with the inherent knowledge that love is what matters most, and having sought other things, I feel that most activities are just substitutes that can never fill the void that we feel in abscence of unconditional love.
