Harvest: Do The Math

[Confused]

I would walk a similar line as Unity in saying that the free will in this Logos is somewhat compromised. We can take an extreme example of this in the act of torture. Someone who is restrained, kept alive, and tortured has no choice in the matter and obviously suffers greatly. The only free will they have is how they feel about the situation, but nothing within their free will allows them to escape the situation. On top of that, how much free will does that person have to genuinely feel about a situation like that when our psychology would prevent us from being happy with it?

Basically, what it seems like to me, is the free will which was available to us was too easily turned against us. STS individuals can use their own free will to limit the free will of others. Without venturing into a victimization standpoint, I don't find this balanced.

I also feel like Unity's point is valid. In an environment as harsh as our's, survival comes before choice. When making a preferred choice could indirectly lead to the cessation of the incarnation, I don't feel like that is balanced either.

Good points, a! You and unity100 have brought out some very nuanced points well. They are difficult to accept; but if one views this in a disinterested mode, it does appear there is strong backing for this from the LOO -

71.14 Questioner: You have made the statement that pure negativity acts as a gravity well pulling all into it. I was wondering first if pure positivity has precisely the same effect? Could you answer that please?

Ra: I am Ra. This is incorrect. Positivity has a much weaker effect due to the strong element of recognition of free will in any positivity approaching purity. Thus although the negatively oriented entity may find it difficult to polarize negatively in the midst of such resounding harmony it will not find it impossible.

Upon the other hand, the negative polarization is one which does not accept the concept of the free will of other-selves. Thusly in a social complex whose negativity approaches purity the pull upon other-selves is constant. A positively oriented entity in such a situation would desire for other-selves to have their free will and thusly would find itself removed from its ability to exercise its own free will, for the free will of negatively oriented entities is bent upon conquest.
