Puzzle Pieces: The Source of All Distortion

[Sacred Fool]

To add to the idea of purity, balancing light and acceptance and "paying a price," I would tack on this snippet from Sept. 22, 2021.

Is there a query to which we may speak?

[new speaker] Jim

Yes, Q'uo, in session 101.8 Ra says, "We may only suggest that the honor of propinquity to light carries with it the Law of Responsibility." What does this mean to the seeker of truth?

[new speaker] Q’uo

We are Q'uo. We are aware of the query, my brother. This query is a vast topic as it touches on a central theme that arises in the journey of the seeker, particularly within the third density as the seeker continues upon its path and develops to a certain point at which it begins to manifest and discover information, inspiration, and most basically, light, and in this process of discovery also discovers that such light carries with it an inseparable burden, if you will. That is what has been called the Law of Responsibility.

In most basic terms we may speak to this Law of Responsibility as the notion that as an entity becomes aware of its capacity to create and to accept within the creation around it, that this capacity—if not utilized to a certain purity commensurate with the purity of the light which this seeker has discovered—then catalyst is generated to a higher degree to catch the attention of this seeker and to call the seeker to address where this responsibility is not being accepted and utilized. This effect becomes greater and greater upon the path of the seeker as the seeker exercises and refines its will and faith. And at a certain point, this will begins to draw to it more and more opportunities for the seeker to act in service, whether in service to others or service to self. These opportunities will present themselves more frequently and with greater breadth as the seeker draws to it this light and love.

This is an important cornerstone for those who wish to approach what has been called adepthood, for while this Law of Responsibility is always a factor in the life of a seeker, or even an entity in its most early stages of seeking, once an entity becomes aware of its own ability to manifest light and create, the Law of Responsibility, you may say, takes full effect. The entity at that point may realize that there is nothing within its life that it cannot offer love to, or be of service towards. This suggests that seekers who are actively practicing to refine their will, to balance their energy centers, and to manifest love and service, that dedication to this path must also become purer and purer. And such a seeker will necessarily need to maintain a great awareness of potential imbalances within the self, distortions and particularly those distortions taken upon the seeker from its upbringing within the society about it.

This awareness of the distortions developed by an upbringing within a distorted society become ever more important, for an individual may balance the self and clear the self of distortions to a certain degree, [and] an entity may seem to be balanced and move with ease about the society, offering service where it is requested, yet there is an ever difficult process of examining those things that are nearly universally agreed upon within a society and determining whether or not these aspects of society that have seeped into the heart of the self are in alignment with the chosen path of service to others or even service to self. And if these deep seated, widely accepted distortions do not match with the seeker's chosen vibration, then the seeker accepts the responsibility for the society and will begin to generate catalyst for the self that calls the attention more and more to that which will put it at odds with society.

We find on your planet at this time among those who are aware of our words and our teachings, that this is quite a difficult stage. And we suggest to those who are aware of our words that great care and patience be taken in meditation and examining the self, and that seekers wishing to approach adepthood do not force themselves into a position which they are not yet ready to accept such a responsibility. It is not necessary, my friends, to explore this deeply magical path to be of service and to share love and light upon your planet. The simple work of taking each day and finding the love within it is as admirable as the greatest magical works that require the greatest magical responsibilities.

So, the source of all distortion is the limited viewpoint, and to expand this viewpoint incurs responsibilities.  However, the path of service is less severe if one chooses to simply greet each moment with love, rather than diving deeply into the murky realm of self exploration.
