Messengers of Love

[Louisabell]

  

Questioner: Does every person have an angel?
...
Their rights only stop at the point where the person denies that there are such beings, denies the deity, the spirit, and love itself. This does not remove the angel from the person, but it renders the angel completely helpless, and so the angel patiently and consistently will set up again and again a situation, in which the person who does not believe will see something which, if he thinks about it, can open the door to belief.
...
Questioner: (Inaudible).

It depends upon your state of belief as to whether angels can physically aid you. If you believe in their reality, they can do almost anything, for grace is given unto those who believe. And the angels are the ministers of that grace.

I think these quotes speak of the difficulties that one faces on embarking on the STO path, for without faith in the power of positivity, there is a limit to how large a part it can play in one's life, or more accurately, how aware we can be to it. It can be hard to see how one would even desire to be of service to others when one feels so under-served in their own life. But it is in finding the ability to be self-sufficient in where true power lies. Just as Ra states how catalyst is intended so that we may discover "the self as all-sufficient Creator containing all that there is and full of joy." (34.6) The more faith in positivity, the more healing that can occur. From more healing comes more joy, and from this joy our faith is empowered once again. You could say that it is a positive feedback loop which compounds on itself, until the point where our faith allows us all the grace and help we could ever desire. Yet, we may come to hardly think to call for such help due to how clear it becomes that all is, was and will be well.  

I have to say that the negative forces do occupy a dear place in my heart. Nobody knows my distortions as intimately as the darkness does, or can devise temptations that tug quite so hard at my heartstrings. Nothing is quite as exhilarating as feeling so known. It's been difficult giving up some of the temptations, parting with some of them have even been a cause of grief (such skilled revealers of self to self that negative greeters can be). But allowing that which is not needed to fall is critical in moving towards transparency of self, moving towards being that "most humble servant of all" (74.11). How paradoxical that humility is what provides one the most spiritual strength, impenetrable and full of potential power. It does not seem so obvious at first.

So there is a place for both the light and dark on any path, everything is useful, but if we are to reach 'escape velocity', we must build up a charge in one direction or the other. Either we are invested in what is, or in what is not. And all that love and light stuff ... when it shines in such intensity that one more drop would feel like your soul would be torn to pieces, it doesn't seem so quaint or trite then.

20.9 Questioner: Thank you. Yesterday we were speaking of the split that takes place in third density when an entity either consciously or because of bias chooses the path of service to others or service to self. The philosophical question of why such a split even exists came up. It is my impression that as it is in electricity, if we have no polarity in electricity we have no electricity; we have no action, we have no…. Therefore, I am assuming that in consciousness without such polarity there would be no action or experience. Is this correct?

Ra: This is correct. You may use the general term “work.”

20.10 Questioner: Then the concept of service to self or service to others is mandatory if we wish to have work, whether it be work in consciousness or work in the mechanical or Newtonian concept in the physical. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with one addendum. The coil, as you may understand this term, is wound, is potential, is ready. The thing that is missing without polarizing is the charge.
