Quote:Ra, Book III, Session 65:
“We may note at this point while you ponder the possibility/probability vortices, that although you have many, many items which cause distress and thus offer seeking and service opportunities, there is always one container in that store of peace, love, light, and joy. This vortex may be very small, but to turn one’s back upon it is to forget the infinite possibilities of the present moment. Could your planet polarize towards harmony in one fine, strong, moment of inspiration? Yes, my friends. It is not probable; but it is ever possible.”

The essence of the above quote has been my signature on this and other forums related to the Law of One for several years. From the moment that I originally read it, I embraced it, not as a dream, but as a true, potential, and palpable reality. A reality wherein the entire Earth and all its inhabitants harmonize and graduate STO, en mass.
In contemplating your post, 3D, I began first by asking myself, “What sort of catalytic event in time could so unify and stir the souls of this world that we would all be on the same page, all with a single hope, a single desire, a single wish of love and cooperation, peace and truth?”
I look for a moment at the scale of tragedies that have already transpired on this planet – e.g., genocides, ethnic cleansings, wars, dislocations of people, autocratic regimes subjugating millions, natural disasters, corporate and political acquisition of power and resources from the theft of the innocent – and I review the great panoply of reactions to these events as they have occurred and been reported in real time.
There are those whose heart is pained by such realities and respond accordingly, in a concerted effort with other like-minded individuals to aid the situation, whether through prayer, financial assistance, volunteering, etc.
There are those who feel pain and compassion in response but who, for one reason or another, take no action.
There are those who are indifferent and oblivious to the large-scale suffering of others; those who become disheartened; those who seek to blame something or become inflamed with righteous anger; those who would respond with that which initiated the tragedy, unwittingly perpetuating the situation; those who respond to the moment with cynicism or denial; those who see the tragedy and convert it into humor; those who forsake their faith; those who have a spiritual awakening; those who respond with fear in their hearts of future tragedy, etc. The reactions of course are as many as there are people, and as diverse.
Point being: we never seem to be on the same page. The energies of division and confusion are too deeply rooted here. While I second Ra that there is always that single container, probably hidden on the top shelf behind more attractive and distracting looking containers; while I agree that there is always the possibility that a catalyst so global, so powerful, and so profound could affect everyone across the board and reach down into the roots of mind to such an extent that hatred, fear, and even the energies of conscious service to self are momentarily abandoned or transformed such that love and only love shines through in a moment of infinite possibility, I just don’t know what that catalyst could be.
One might think that the phenomenon of global warming might act as the catalyst to unite us as a planetary people. While of course there is confusion surrounding the issue, and agents actively propagating disinformation, one might think that a planet in peril would be sufficient to shake and rattle us into working together in shared hope and shared service towards a harmonious relationship with the ground underneath our feet and, analogously, the ground of our beings.
Yet, this does not seem to be the case. As I heard clips of Obama’s speech at the G8 summit today, there appears to be further evidence that governments are gaining some momentum for cooperation on this issue, perhaps reading the writing on the wall, but it seems not the catalyst of the type of which Ra spoke.
Given the apparent histories of Mars and “Maldek”, destruction of the atmosphere and of the planet itself seems insufficient to unite people behind the common positive cause of averting planetary annihilation!
Perhaps the first manned mission to the moon could have been a crowning moment for humanity as a whole, each individual on this planet feeling a pride and sense of achievement, the fulfilling of a yearning experiencing by humankind for millennia, yet that moment, as far as I’m aware, was mostly a thing of national pride, mostly an American moment.
I am no historian buff, but there is one catalyst of which I am aware which more effectively than anything, and on a scale never before seen, pierced directly through the heart of darkness on the awesome and powerful rays of love. That was the moment when Muslims and Hindus were mutually involved in wholescale slaughter shortly after India gained its independence from Britain. At that moment in time, Mahatma Gandhi – unable to bear witness to his countrymen who had fought so hard for their independence murder one another – initiated a fast which was to last either until the fighting ended or he died.
After fasting for many days and coming ever more closely to his deathbed, the fighting that had erupted and been sustained throughout India came to an end. Of their own volition, both sides across the board laid down their weapons and stopped the downward spiral of bloodshed and retaliation for a single reason: their mutual love for this one man who they wished to see continue living.
When I learned of this, I had one of the most convulsive fit of tears I’ve ever had. Knowing that such a thing happened affected my soul in ways few things can. It shook me and riveted my core with Beauty, with a transcendent meaning which can only be articulated in the language of tears. Here was a moment of purity and light that had spoken through a crisis of ever-deepening fear, hatred, and darkness.
There are a great variety of factors that stop bellicosity, including the victory of one party over the other, the entry of a stronger third party, the extinguishment of resources for those waging the war, etc., but never has LOVE so deeply and purely felt been the agent responsible for the laying down of weapons. Never before was LOVE more important than exacting revenge or winning the battle or destroying the enemy.
I cannot fathom that another individual could emerge who could win the love of everyone in this world on that level. I cannot imagine an individual or a group of individuals who could not only be known to the world entire, (a feat improbable enough as it is), but could also embody the hopes of the entire world.
I am optimistic by nature also, 3D, but I attempt to balance idealism with realism. I will and do live my ideals – I believe and attempt to see the Creator in all; I attempt to live in the faith that the ultimate outcome is never in doubt; but I do not expect that this particular 3rd density experience will see a unification of its peoples.
The seeds of division, fear, indifference, cynicism, apathy, and the desire for sleep are planted too deeply within the planetary mind and are watered too frequently. We are a planet of 3rd density repeaters, ya know… : )
Yet… that one container does exist…
