"an adept is one who has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other selves." (Book IV, p. 50).
This quote continues to be of a fascination to me too. How wonderful it must be to have this freedom... This thought gives me peace...
Other quotes of fascination:
Ra, 57:24 Wrote:However, you are aware of the concept of initiation and realize that it demands the centering of the being upon the seeking of the Creator. We have hoped to balance this understanding by enunciating the Law of One, that is, that all things are One Creator. Thus seeking the Creator is done not just in meditation and in the work of an adept but in the experiential nexus of each moment.
A person who has freed itself from illusions of time, living in each moment, must feel a great liberation...
Ra, 80:11 Wrote:The apparent happening is disassociation whether the truth is service to self and thus true disassociation from other-selves or service-to-others and thus true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.
These are the three main illusions that would be liberating to break free from, whether one is adept or not:
1. constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other selves.
2. the illusion of time, being only in the now.
3. association in the heart with all other selves, perceiving each as being one with the self.
