Why Ra doesn't make contact with Carla and Jim after Don's suicide??

[Aion]

That's a worthwhile consideration, I'd say, and you don't come across at all as argumentative, no worries. I think that Ra was reaching towards the idea of not holding attachment to the outcome of the efforts, but also the sense that one cannot control the growth and evolution of others. The latter part of that quote is actually I think the greater heart of the point.

We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment. But who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?

I think the same is true, and so, most important is to use your own wisdom and intuition to guide you. How much is "too much"? Well, Ra doesn't give a measure in numbers and I take that to imply that they ask us to trust our hearts rather than our intellects when it comes to 'how much' is 'enough'.

Insofar as it is concerned, there is no "best" or "right" way (well, Ra has their opinion, like we all do), but you have to do what feels right within your being! That is the 'highest' service one can offer.

17.30 Questioner: Well, if an entity wants to learn ways of it, wants to be of service to others rather than service to self while he is in this third density, are there best ways of being of service to others, or is any way just as good as any other way?

Ra: I am Ra. The best way to be of service to others has been explicitly covered in previous material. We will iterate briefly.

The best way of service to others is the constant attempt to seek to share the love of the Creator as it is known to the inner self. This involves self-knowledge and the ability to open the self to the other-self without hesitation. This involves, shall we say, radiating that which is the essence, or the heart, of the mind/body/spirit complex.

Speaking to the intention of your question, the best way for each seeker in third density to be of service to others is unique to that mind/body/spirit complex. This means that the mind/body/spirit complex must then seek within itself the intelligence of its own discernment as to the way it may best serve other-selves. This will be different for each. There is no best. There is no generalization. Nothing is known.

That is to say, one wants to teach/learn, but without attempting to learn/teach FOR others. At least, that's my own interpretation of what is said here.

Also, in a way, we're all newbies, welcome along for the journey.
