From this orientation, people become entrenched in such causes as vegetarianism, political "left vs right", 911 conspiracies, 2012 ascension and a multitude of other personality-based drama, often viewing it as spirituality. However, I see Ra's words as simply implying intent or motive, and this is of a higher nature.

then according to the above, people shouldnt become entrenched in positioning such as positive, or negative or sto or sts either.
Where do you draw that conclusion from? He's criticizing people for getting involved in petty disputes that seem STO but actually manifest someones STS side. That has nothing to do with the pure conscious pursuit of either path.
where do i draw that conclusion from ?
what you may call as 'petty dispute' is important from the perspective of 2d consciousness. its petty for you, but not petty for anyone concentrating on that ray, or anyone in 2d.
moreover, polarity, is a positionality. arguing otherwise defies the definition of polarity, meaning the entities get placed in certain points of the spectrum according to each other, in perspective an behavior and energy. if they dont positionalize themselves steadfastly, they cannot polarize.
Quote:By your logic starting a holy war with good intentions would be fine because you seem to be saying that being entrenched in anything is either inherently good or bad with no possible distinction between a worthy cause and an unworthy one. Yes those petty things can eventually lead to finding a more efficient path but will power should be correlated to polarization, if someone has strong will power when they're not well polarized you'll get people like Alex Jones.
there is nothing relevant in between what i said, and what you say in the above block. therefore, i cant even begin to reply.

I interpreted this quote to mean that we can subconsciously attempt to control others against their will, without realizing it. An example given by Ra is those 2 Wanderers who ended up switching to STS, because they tried to force spirituality on others. They ended up 'disconcerted.'
it precisely seems to be intended for that meaning. but, i think its more relevant to the unintended influencing of others, even in things that have no relevance to spirituality. it has rather magical meaning.
