Transient, Sustained and Eternal

[Louisabell]

I changed my mind how I am going to deliver this energy.

It's true that focus is very important and I think key to any kind of movement in consciousness, collective or individual.

So this foray into the transience was also somewhat transient?

Thinking more on this subject in context of the Ra Material - Ultimately for me, the Law of One is a philosophy of self-empowerment. I have found it rich in teachings that offer total responsibility for one’s self, one’s evolution and one’s destiny. As far as I can see, that which Ra referred to as important is that which is full of potential in expanding consciousness and providing instruction that strike at the heart of meaningful spiritual practice.

That which Ra labels the unimportant and the transient is information that is simply consumed and not much else. How many times do you need to read the quotes about the Men In Black and underground bases until it outgrows its appeal? Moreover, where is the call to action? What sense of personal responsibility can be found there? Maybe this information could be useful in attempting to play the planetary game, but that’s not what Ra was about.

On the other hand, the “non-transient” philosophy offered in the Law of One is a type of living text for me. It points to that which you must take upon yourself to experience, and when you do put the philosophy into practice, those magical personal experiences do come. These experiences then give a whole new meaning and light to the written words. The text evolves alongside you, and you notice things that you didn’t/couldn’t notice before. Quotes which once seemed only sentimental in nature to me, now appear to be much more literal. The concept of intelligent infinity has also changed a lot for me over the years (of course one cannot have a complete concept of intelligent infinity, but one can try). With each new articulated iteration, all the interlinking and interwoven concepts in the text are also illuminated in similar intensity. And I suppose that is why after many years, I am still excited to read the Ra Material. It is an utterly non-transient text to me in my life. I don’t think I will ever grow bored of it.

But at the same time, not everyone will take to the call of personal evolution as readily as others. So, what can appear like stagnation from the outside may actually be what is exactly needed on someone else’s path. So who can say that another is only circling?

What would the focus of "seeking the Eternal" look like to different people I wonder?

This one is tricky for me to define. To ‘seek the Eternal’ is to seek that which is our very Self in the truest sense. The incomplete entity (which we all are), by virtue of its very nature of needing to feel whole, must seek the completion of itself. So in that way, I see that the "seeking the Eternal'' is all that we ever do. It just may look a little confused from the outside because we’re all looking in the strangest places for that which will make us whole again.

And I agree that words can have limited use in seeking the Eternal.
