No entity without help 50:5

[Diana]

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.

Yes, I like that quote, and I definitely agree with it.

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.

Yes I have heard that idea, but I think this refers to the average person. I think some people come here more focused on a mission. Their purpose is larger than interacting with individual people close to them. Balancing a global (for example) purpose with one's personal relationships would perhaps look imbalanced from the perspective of an average person whose life revolves around self, job, family and friends. To that person yes, the deathbed regret may fit, as their focus was on personal relationships and that sphere of influence they chose to play out. But to someone who came here with a more universal purpose, where reaching large numbers of beings rather than a select few or just those he/she comes into contact with is the drive, the deathbed scene may be very different.  

Also, this idea does not take into consideration love of work. Most humans think work is work, and they do it to live. That is not the case with everyone. Think of an artist or songwriter for example (and I refer to those who create from the heart, not those who create for the market). And many entrepreneurs pour enormous love into their creations which rains out into the world through their creations (and here I must also qualify, because so many people call themselves entrepreneurs today if they have a website or sell on Amazon etc., but I refer to real entrepreneurs who do it because they are compelled to create for this existence).

I read some article where people were dissing Elon Musk for working on his laptop with his children on his knees and around him, and how awful it was that he was working while he was with them. To me this is a typical human self-centered/tribal response, with no understanding of a larger purpose. To those people, the deathbed regret would fit perfectly. To focus only on the personal relationships, or even to give them priority, would decrease a person's ability to accomplish the greater goal. To someone who has come here on a big mission, I think regrets would derive from not completing that mission.

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.

If Musk seems unhappy or dissatisfied, my guess is it is because people such as him are almost always misunderstood. Balance would be an issue, yes, I agree. But I think a person who has such a big mission must rise above enormous amounts of judgment from every angle.

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.

I agree, but I will add that love is very narrowly defined in this existence and I don't think we can even slightly grasp what that universal matrix is. The word, love, is so paltry and tarnished with human judgment limitation. Even the term, unconditional love, I don't think is even slightly understood. There is a detachment that seems paradoxical to the idea which in my opinion must be considered. When people think of the Creator, I see mostly an interpretation that imagines some loving father figure type (though cosmic). To me unconditional love is most closely associated with detachment, allowing for acceptance, free will, and connectedness. I don't think you can be connected to something if you are attached to it—being attached to something means you are trying to get something from it. If you are detached, your connectedness and feeling of unconditional love can flow freely.
