Help with staying in the present

[Ankh]

I understand that as Ra equating the present moment with intelligent infinity.

That's how I understand it. When one accepts the external as being ok, enlightenment and possibly a transcendental experience occurs. The gate to the present involves the choice, which is the axis upon which the creation turns as it's said. So the present can only be experienced through the removal of certain boundaries. One who walks on the negative path sees this also, but simply manipulates this realization for their own benefit.

A difficult aspect of the material is that Ra speaks in third density terms and the philosophy behind how the octave functions in general. So we tend to place a lot of weight behind certain words and sentences.

For instance, intelligent infinity is referred to as that which.."transforms all other-selves as well as the self." When I first read that, I naturally visualized some kind of mystical transformative event. But doesn't enlightenment certainly bring about a transformation in perception towards all others? You no longer judge or separate, and so others are transformed as you experience your connection to them for the first time.

So we tend to expect intelligent infinity to have certain qualities, when at its most basic level, it is simply direct experience of the moment. No doubt there are deeper experiences to be had though.

I agree. Not so long ago, after experiencing what I understand now to be *the* gateway, I had a realization of something similar to what you've said above. It was about transforming the self to a transparency through which the everlasting presence of the One Infinite Creator could flow without anything blocking these experiences. Something like that. It is difficult to put it in words. Well, as usual, it didn't last more than a day, and then you have to work for it!

Shortly after that, I got seriously busy, where I encountered a lot of opportunities for polarization, which I, hopefully used, well. At times I experienced something that I would term as fourth dimensional vibration. My first day off, after these concentrated experiences, I saw people that I haven't seen before. It's a whole other story, but I certainly can relate to what you said about "mystical transformative event". I say it is both. As you transform your own vibration, you see those of previous one, where you just have been, but you also start seeing those who are on the current vibration, which you had not an ability to see before.

As to that gateway goes - it is there. Can feel, see it, sense it... But have some way to work yet to open that dang thing. (Said with love and respect)
