Dear Confused,
I've got some thoughts I put together that are not meeting my satisfaction. I know it can be put much more concisely than this, but hopefully it will help add another grain to the steppingstone of thought.
Ra speaks of the Logos providing the basic "skeleton" of catalyst, that is the catalyst which activates and feeds the lower triad of energy centers. As the locus of awareness rises, it is the entity which begins to do more of its own programming, transforming the energy of the logos in order to feed its own higher centers and develop its own higher balances, all in order, eventually, to dissolve the illusion of separation and multiplicity.

In the process of this evolution, instead of reacting to the random catalyst generated by the logos, one consciously responds to and eventually generates their own catalyst. This involves, as others have mentioned in this thread, becoming increasingly conscious of ones experience.
Linking a section you quoted from Ra with another, both seem to associate increased awareness/consciousness with increased responsibility:
I don't quite understand the full implications of their statement (especially with regard to the non-demonstration of the fruits resulting in the reduction of the life span) but I draw your attention to the section I bolded and underlined near the beginning of that quote, the "...increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons..." seems to indicate increased awareness leading to increased responsibility.
The second quote that supports that notion:
In this case Ra is speaking of balancing negatively and positively sourced information, but they seem to indicate here as well that where there is ignorance (lack of awareness) there is decreased responsibility.
So it seems these two concepts - awareness and responsibility - are, as Ra would say, linked as tightly as two strands of rope.
Unity100 says:
So the "closer to the light", that is, the more aware you are, the more (as others in this thread were saying) options you have, the more, as Unity100 says, powerful and creative your thoughts and actions are.
With increased awareness, you have the capacity to make bigger and more waves in the illusion.
Analogies that come to mind. The young entity who gains the awareness of operating a motor vehicle now has many more options open to him and many more responsibilities. Whereas before he could not instantly end the life of a pedestrian when he walked from Point A to Point B, now he can do so behind the wheel of a car. This in addition to the significantly greater number of options which open up to he who has access to a vehicle.
Furthermore, he is moving at higher speeds, and as anyone will know from driving a car, the faster you go, the more a slight change in the direction of the steering wheel creates larger consequences which are increasingly difficult to recover from if the deviation is too great.
As with spiritual evolution, we have greater power and more options (first analogy) and we are accelerating our rate or speed of evolution (second analogy).
Naturally, greater responsibility accompanies this new point of growth or increased awareness.
Well put!
This says in one paragraph what I needed many for. : )

Quote:By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of nonownership on an individual or group basis.
Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service toward others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude—each lesson could be rejected in practice.
Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted.

The second quote that supports that notion:
Quote:Ra: What is necessary to balance is opportunity. When there is ignorance, there is no opportunity. When there exists a potential, then each opportunity shall be balanced, this balancing caused by not only the positive and negative orientations of those offering aid but also the orientation of those requesting aid.

As your awareness and freedom increases so does your responsibility for your actions e.g. how much you could hurt or help others and accumulate or decrease karma.
