Unity100, thanks for your very generous response. I think you have clarified where we may have inadvertently diverged.
From my point of view, an undifferentiated radiation of love/light would be undirected and a simple radiation in all directions. This is without intention or perhaps even consciousness. It is not terribly different from the love/light permeating the Creation in the plenum. Until we invest this love/light with "thought form" - the direction of this love/light being such a form - it cannot be said to be any more of an infringement on the other-self than the Creation as a whole by it's very nature could somehow be considered infringement on the other-self.
Free will (at the level of the manifested self, at least) doesn't mean you get to choose the lessons, as A Course in Miracles says; it only determines the time you take in learning them.
That said, I think you're right, after all. If I direct love/light, I have taken it from its natural potential undifferentiated state and used my will to convert it to a kinetic. This will almost certainly involves thought which at that very moment forms it and gives it the impression that you described. That is different than a pure radiation of love/light as a mere consequence of being.
So I guess we interpreted the initial question slightly differently. What I heard the OP saying was that the other-self was requesting he not radiate love/light towards her at all, which is impossible in the pure sense. I can't choose where the vibrations emanating from me go if I'm not consciously directing them. And the default, unconscious state of this radiation will hardly be "no radiation at all" for anybody polarizing positively.
On the other hand, I believe you are right in that a directed transfer of love/light would, indeed, be an infringement if it were not requested.
I still retain the right to love people who don't want it, and see them as myself and the Creator, but I certainly cannot consciously push that love/light on people in some more manifested way as a matter of will without consequences. That would be like healing without request. To the extent it's an act of will, it's an act of responsibility. Would you agree with that?
Also, another place we're talking past each other: I think a pure green ray radiation would not care in the slightest about whether it was an efficient or efficacious transmission. It would simply radiate without expectation. Of course if you want that effort to have results, that's a totally different kind of task that does, indeed, require wisdom. But it is by no means what everybody chooses, or even should choose.
I really appreciate your guidance on this, Unity100. Thank you.
