Does being STO make you a loser in the eyes of this world? How do you cope?

[Loki]

Reaper, I love this you said " I believe myself to be a likable person" since after all we all are loved by Source, and we should get to this point where we like and take care of ourselves

Loki, something you said was just paralleled to something I  read yesterday while going through Michael Newton's second book, " Destiny of Souls"..  you said " If I understood something from Ra is that in order to win in the bigger picture of creation you almost certainly must lose in this illusion."  Well Michael Newton, who was this very serious hypnotist who would help his clients in their present life by having them through regression, noticed that in fact  advanced souls incarnating are never in position of apparent earthly power...  

Ra said:

You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game. This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love; can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly: “All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.” This is the game: to know, to accept, to forgive, to balance, and to open the self in love. This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit beingness totality.

Jesus said in his own words almost the same thing.

Still his disciples were concerned over and over about how can they turn the illusion in their favor.
Some people reading “Ra's Material” are concerned about the same thing. How can they get respect in this illusion? This very important illusion where we need to have it all.

But more awaken someone is more she/he feels that respect in this illusion is fool’s gold.
