LOO rereading and there being 'only identity'

[Louisabell]

I kind of grapple between identities.

I so relate Glow.    There are many parts of the self to identify with.

I'm going to go with something different here and state that a huge step forward is identifying with all the apparent disparate parts of ourselves, understanding then that we are fragmented. It is pleasant to identify with the sweet inner child, but identifying with say, the inner psychopath, can feel frightening and dangerous, yet is just as much ourselves as it comes from within. And oh well, if we don't identify with any part of ourselves consciously, we're going to subconsciously identify with it anyway.

As an aside, I asked my inner psychopath what it wanted (4D is making these thoughtforms almost like whole separate personalities) and it/I said that it/I just wanted to be left alone. For the first time I saw it for the wounded animal that it was, and yet it contains within it a courage and ferociousness that I could definitely benefit from (as the neurotic people pleaser I can be in social life).

So I move to identify with all these parts, and hope to take responsibility for them and their projections, moving towards a more integrated whole and discover, as Ra puts it, "the character and personality that is the true identity of the mind".

3.16 Questioner: Does the shape of the pyramid itself— is that a key function in the initiation process?

Ra: This is a large question. We feel that we shall begin and ask you to re-evaluate and ask further at a later session, this somewhat, shall we say, informative point.
To begin. There are two main functions of the pyramid in relation to the initiatory procedures. One has to do with the body. Before the body can be initiated, the mind must be initiated. This is the point at which most adepts of your present cycle find their mind/body/spirit complexes distorted from. When the character and personality that is the true identity of the mind had been discovered, the body then must be known in each and every way...

From a more integrated whole, we can see that love is both fierce/gentle and gentle/fierce. And perhaps when we perceive fierceness in others we may come to see the love in it, even if the most appropriate response would be to walk away or even to act to stop the other person.

I absolutely don't doubt that when people are in deep meditation and can reach a point where they identify with the intelligent infinity within, that this is exactly what is happening, however the question I ask is, can one maintain that frequency and bring it into everyday 3D life? Can they share it with other-selves who are not there yet? This is quite difficult as I believe there can be no part of ourselves that can be left behind. We always have one foot in the heavens and one foot in the 3D muck we are much apart of.

I think this touches on an important point of what many people call 'spiritual bypassing', which has been brought up many times and in many different ways on this forum. In my current rereading I noticed how the below passage of Ra is a wonderful way to explain this concept of spiritual bypassing...

1.10 ... Ra: ...Firstly, you must understand that the distinction between yourself and others is not visible to us. We do not consider that a separation exists between the consciousness-raising efforts of the distortion which you project as a personality and the distortion which you project as an other-personality. Thus, to learn is the same as to teach unless you are not teaching what you are learning, in which case you have done you/they little or no good. This understanding should be pondered by your mind/body/spirit complex, as it is a distortion which plays a part in your experiences at this nexus.

In essence, are you practising what you are preaching? And to be completely honest with myself, sometimes no. There is much inspirational spiritual content out there, but to integrate such wisdom with the self is where the real work begins, in my humble opinion!
