Comparison of the two paths

[Ankh]

I believe it would be seeing one's self as an individual, with certain aspects, traits, or perceived personality. It is associated with the mind, and thinking. It is a part of self, but not the whole self; and identity would also be transitory as it is part of physical existence and attached to a body.

Identity can also be formed from various unsuitable sources such as playing a role in a dysfunctional family as a child, and continuing to blindly play out that role as an adult. To function in a physical body as an individual, identity can be useful, but it would be best put in perspective as a small part of self, and also cleared of any aspects not serving the higher self, or spirit.

Ra teaches that the mind contains all things, and whatever the distortions one experience are there to be understood and then balanced. Especially in 6D I think it applies in high degree. And even being in 3D, if we take your example above, one can come from a dysfunctional family as a child, and then blindly play out that role as an adult, or one can create a most harmonious family, and be a so called "rebel" in that case, or one can end up somewhere in between. I believe that we are very powerful beings, if we put that side on, and can create practically anything of ourselves and our environment. We are microcosm of the intelligent infinity. So I believe that one can think that one has a certain personality, and thus acting from that mindset, but it is not so, in my limited understanding.

That's going to be a bit sad if we have to repeat 3D in the next octave.

Yes, but imagine that 7D beings are capable of stuff like creating Higher Self. Then they move on and graduate to the next density, which merges into 1D of the next octave. Can you imagine the awesomeness of the next octave when their 1D is our 8D?
