Oneness: Addition or Subtraction?

[Ankh]

Dear Snowflower, it was interesting to hear your thoughts, and especially this: "lose the very special feeling of loving my children and my grandchildren and the beauty of the snow outside and the beauty of the wild rose when it blooms next June, because I lose memory of them when I lose myself?" It's nice to hear thoughts like that for a change. Personally I feel that I've lost something, some part of me, an extention of me, and I miss it deeply. It is an essential part of me, and part of this essence is my group. I will now provide some quotes that might be of help, but you shouldn't worry about this question, as I understand this growing into a social memory complex as something that comes gradually, and also it is an addition, where everyone's experiences, thoughts, and beingness' melts into one unit. They become an extention of you, not that you will lose your particular vibration/essence.

Here, in session 11:17, Ra describes a creation of a social memory complex, which happens in 4D.

A mind/body/spirit social complex becomes a social memory complex when its entire group of entities are of one orientation or seeking. The group memory lost to the individuals in the roots of the tree of mind then becomes known to the social complex, thus creating a social memory complex. The advantages of this complex are the relative lack of distortion in understanding the social beingness and the relative lack of distortion in pursuing the direction of seeking, for all understanding/distortions are available to the entities of the society.

Here is another quote that might be of help:

Questioner: I noticed you started this session with “I communicate now” and you usually use “We communicate now.” Is there any significance or difference with respect to that, and then is there anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact?

Ra: I am Ra. We am Ra. You may see the grammatical difficulties of your linguistic structure in dealing with a social memory complex. There is no distinction between the first person singular and plural in your language when pertaining to Ra.

But my favourite is this Q'uo session, it is about sixth density social memory complex:

[It] is not simply that a member of a social memory complex defines itself as part of that complex, it is rather that all of those entities who have worked together in collaboration for one common purpose over time become closer than friends, or lovers, or mates. They become one in thought, one in hope, one in intention.
