Acceptance and Will

[kycahi]

I'm wondering which causes polarization- action or thought. I lean toward thought because it is conscious application in thought that transforms the mind.

The mind must certainly abandon one direction of thinking (sts) in order to embrace the other (sto) way. I think we do this with conscious application, but I'm not certain.

Certain energy blockages prevent us from loving ourselves, which prevents us from receiving love from others, this it turn becomes sts in nature because blocks the other from serving sto. I believe we, as a social complex, are working with this concept in real time at this moment. We are each expressing our own confusion on the matter. I think, on our way to social memory complex, we must begin to open ourselves to be loved by an other, and to not limit or reject the love that is readily available to us. In a sense, allowing others in to love us is a service to them, and we can see where this can go exponentially.

I speak with desire and not so much with conviction.

could this be a major hurdle to jump past the unsuccessful 50% marker?

I sense that if you are a stay-at-home-thinker, you could make the choice mainly with your mind. OTOH, if you go out and get involved with others, actions carry you across. Did I just illustrate introversion vs. extraversion?

I agree that we have to make some kind of conscious application to the Choice to make it count, somehow.

Blockage from loving self is very prevalent around this place, IMHO. That doesn't mean that removing said blockage leads to STS. I think it's part of that balancing that Ra is so keen on.

A lot of women say that only after the birth of their first child do they understand what putting another person ahead of self really means. I submit that most first-time fathers relate, too. Yet those new parents also start behaving less recklessly, therefore "loving selves," because that love of the tiny other-self makes them want to protect from their not being around. All of this is natural, non-conscious opening up to love of other, i.e. the new being.

So your assignment for this evening is to go out and find another self and start making that new baby.
