My take on masks.

[AnthroHeart]

Why not teach a man to fish instead of giving him fish? Teaching him to fish feeds him for life, and gives him the opportunity to teach others to fish, give them fish, or whatever else. The decision to give one choice of catalyst over another is a nuanced aspect of advancement. When catalyst are presented and action is performed, "parallel possibility/probability vortices cease... and new probability/possibility vortices are begun" (11.3). Therefore, when one presents a catalyst to another in an effort to provide the greatest chance / least hindrance of positive advancement -- such as by providing for another's continual ability to feed the self, thereby allowing for better health and higher pursuits -- one is, is some way, staking one's polarity on the decision.

There are multiple instances in the Ra Material where "loss of polarity" comes up when there is a potential infringement on another's free will by providing more pointed catalyst. Ra seems to care a great deal about providing the best catalysts according to its discernment, being required to consider a great deal more through our space/time and time/space in order to maintain or advance its own polarity, the latter providing for greater potentials for service to others. What if another's Oversoul's programming has encouraged the other self -- through decisions made through free will -- into my experience for the purpose of our companionship, just as my programming and decisions encouraged a similar trajectory? The possibility/probability vortices beginning from each moment would provide for, in increasing proportion, some shared experiences. The shared experiences, in question, may entail communication that leads to the learn/teaching and teach/learning of these individuals and greater approximations of the Law of One between the two. Each shoulders responsibility for individual polarity throughout their experiences, with some of their possibility/probability vortices providing for greater opportunities for service to others. In this manner, thoughtful action may be given to increase potentials, for the self and other self, for service to others.

Is an adept's love without action anything more than groping around in the moonlight?

I really appreciate this discussion with you -- thanks for taking the time.

Why not give them a fish and also teach them to fish? It's kind of hard to fish when you're starving.
