Polarity

[Aion]

Funny enough you could consider a 50/50 knowledge to be equally uncertain and this is like the 'sinkhole of indifference'.

20.9 Questioner: Thank you. Yesterday we were speaking of the split that takes place in third density when an entity either consciously or because of bias chooses the path of service to others or service to self. The philosophical question of why such a split even exists came up. It is my impression that as it is in electricity, if we have no polarity in electricity we have no electricity; we have no action, we have no…. Therefore, I am assuming that in consciousness without such polarity there would be no action or experience. Is this correct?

Ra: This is correct. You may use the general term “work.”

Consider then that awareness as a polarity needed to polarize in infinity in order for intelligent energy, finity, to emerge. Thus with (that word you mentioned ATP) awareness is energy, work, accomplishment. Without it is potential for that work.

The question then is what is the catalyst of infinity upon itself that stirs awareness?

20.10 Questioner: Then the concept of service to self or service to others is mandatory if we wish to have work, whether it be work in consciousness or work in the mechanical or Newtonian concept in the physical. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with one addendum. The coil, as you may understand this term, is wound, is potential, is ready. The thing that is missing without polarizing is the charge.

20.11 Questioner: Then the charge is provided by individualized consciousness. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The charge is provided by the individualized entity using the inpourings and instreamings of energy by the choices of free will.

Perhaps then it is the fact that finity itself is already within infinity and thus infinity awakens within finity. So the content of infinity and finity seem to be the primary dualistic consciousness between which a charge is made on the finite end, using the infinite end as potential and design.

The charge is effected through the interaction between finity and itself, whereby the infinity within each finity is thereby experienced. Finity thereby organized itself towards two poles - one in which the charge is made through finity experiencing infinity directly and one in which it is experienced indirectly. The direct path is that which is least resistant and distorted. The indirect path is long, twisting and labyrinthine.

From these two are crafted all choices, and from these choices there become related paths. Eventually the paths that a finity is taking become shaped by their experiences and one begins to lean towards the indirect or direct path.

Service comes in when we see that one is capable, finity being capable, of infinite action. Being capable of infinite action service thus becomes the measure of energy transfer between entities as it most closely describes the way energy is allowed to transfer or is stifled.

The true mystery for me still is the sheer intelligence of it all.

[The_Tired_Philosopher]

I like your train of thought! Any idea how intelligent infinity fits in metaphysically-mechanically?

[Aion]

Yes, you can essentially think of it as a battery which powers everything, it is a power core from which all potentials emerge and grow. This power core is tied to every finity no matter its form. The power core is existent in every atom, every point of space and in every being. The power core forms networks of consciousness between Co-Creator and Creator. It is the point where every 'string', using string theory, collides and coalesces.

You can see it as a Great Mystery which is eternally revealed by apocalypse. (Not Armageddon which most people confuse with apocalypse.)

[Aion]

Also, I think I have for the first time begun to discern active-service and passive-service as being Microcosmic expressions of potential and kinetic modes.

[JustLikeYou]

By and large, I think one issue is that some people still conflate "positive" with "good" and "negative" with "evil." To a certain extent, Ra may have -inadvertantly- encouraged this with his heavy emphasis on positivity and his desire to see Earth polarize that way. While I don't think this was his intent, it makes it easier for people who tend towards absolutist thinking to start seeing the situation in terms of Us vs Them. And that's totally contrary to the Law of One.


It especially bugs me when I see people start self-righteously declaring certain arguments -or certain people- to be "negative" as a way of dismissing them. The irony, of course, is that such exclusionary thought is itself somewhat controlling and negative in basis. But if someone is being tribal about the polarities, that's the last thing they want to ponder - the negativity in themselves. I think it's also easy, in general, to overlook how quickly morality can turn into oppressive control systems, no matter how well-intentioned someone is.

In my own writing, I make heavy use of the terms "good" and "evil". I do so because they are already embedded into our cultural mind and are, as such, much easier concepts for casual access than STO and STS. I agree with your complaint, but my own approach has been not to dissociate STO from good and STS from evil, but to dissociate good from right and evil from wrong. In conversation with a person who has never read literature on STO and STS, it is much easier to convey your understanding if you reinforce the attitude: "I believe in good and evil, but I don't believe in right and wrong." This opens up the conversation to moral polarity without allowing moral judgment to enter into it.

If STO and STS do indeed lie at the foundation of the 3D experience, then all of our cultural stories should already be talking about them. That is, we should find it impossible to remove these concepts from our minds. Such is precisely the case with the concepts of good and evil: no matter how our literature attempts to sidestep these concepts, they remain fixed within our species mind.

[The_Tired_Philosopher]

Also, I think I have for the first time begun to discern active-service and passive-service as being Microcosmic expressions of potential and kinetic modes.

Do you mean that in a 'respective' sense, as in active-service is potential, passive-service is kinetic? (probably not?)
I don't fully comprehend, can I ask you to further specify?

Also, to help you structure your response, if those are the micro, what would be the macro, you think?

While this is probably majority-wise correct, it's still well to try and not reference negative as evil (or wrong).  If you believe the Hidden_Hand dialogue, it sheds light that even positive beings will polarize negatively in order to help others, in that case, Lucifer being a positive SMC chose to polarize negatively to offer that much more catalyst to the Human Race as a whole to acquire their capability to utilize Free Will.  Their intentions don't sound evil even if we 'label' their actions as such.

As such it's not proper to label STS as wholly bad in any sense.  In similar ways that a STO being can be selfish and still be STO, STS beings can be selfless and still be STS.  The convolution starts when it's realized that by performing acts of Service to Self Polarization, you are offering a service to another that is not evil, but desired on a higher level.  It's not understood very well down here, and perhaps not even in 4D, but the making sense probably occurs in 5D painting the road to 6D unity.

I don't say these lightly either.  A STS polarization may include killing and torture, at this density of unknowing, it can be for some impossible to comprehend how this is a service.  When you consider Humanity all as One though, the sense begins to come into place.  Those who perform STS may not always want to go to those lengths but be tasked in doing so by the natural Ways required to Graduate to Harvest.  In those instances when one interacts with a highly polarized STS OR STO being, it can be disheartening in both ways.

The STO being will allow horror to occur understanding that is it the Ways of the World at times, in the best instance I can provide as an example, Christ allowed himself to be killed.  Even at the expense of much more good being possible.  Some would call that a poor example of STO mentality, not trying to further the cause.  However, that's not a part of the STO orientation in a sense.  To simply accept, respect, and love might be best attributed to the STO way, with Wisdom being asked to be used by those capable of it.  If the wisdom of the entity dictated it was more proper to allow the STS being to follow through with it's Ways, that IS a STO orientated response.  To struggle and fight against it is another manner of STO but in a convoluted distortion that you are trying to deny another while accept many others.

The STS being might cause the horror's that occur, but they need to.  Their own personal desires to go their own way is tasked, they could very well be loner's or CEO's or nobody's but they need somebody else to polarize.  In that way, their service is most greatly useful to the unknowing entities who fall 'victim' (label) to their service.  To control another is to give them the opportunity to find their Free Will, in this density, THAT IS THE POINT.

Make your Choices.

Both polarities are not wrong, yet in the light of each other, they are.  Everything can't be wrong, and in the light of a STS being trying to grant aid in their specific way, they can be termed evil, but they may not be truly evil, only doing as they must.  Not much different from a preacher who feels responsible to perform as they preach, even if they know their preaching's are incorrect to their personal bias.

With that said, Free Will also cannot be ignored.  One side abides to Free Will, the other tries to control it.

Abiding to Free Will means allowing those to use their unknown Free Will to make choices, sometimes, MAJOR ones.
Controlling Free Will means forcing those to use their unknown Free Will to make choices, sometimes, MAJOR ones.

Once an entity is aware of having Free Will, things get much more complicated.

Allowing Free Will means allowing people to make mistakes, to be as they will be, to do as they will do.
Controlling Free Will means forcing people to make mistakes (even if they don't see such an action as a 'mistake'), to be a certain way, to do as they are told.

On both spectrums, Free Will is preserved in that you can try to hinder Free Will, but you can't violate Free Will.  That's not to say it isn't possible and very easy to violate free will on the STO side, but on the STS side things are different.  Free Will isn't understood as existing on Earth.  As such an entity who isn't aware of their Free Will can't be said to be Free in their own opinion beyond a distorted belief in 'Freedom', in response, the STS being can and will use this distortion to their advantage.  Formulating rules on how to be, what is and isn't wrong, what people must do, OR ELSE.

At the purest levels it's hard to properly reference STO and STS as the same since their means of interaction are subtle in various contexts.
At the lower levels, it's easy to properly reference proper STO and STS interactions.

Let your child make mistakes, that's STO even if you let them put their hand on the burning hot stove, you've allowed them the Free Will to discover for them self.  Alternatively, warning your child to save them from the unnecessary pain as you deem it, is also proper if you aren't forcing them not to.

STS interactions are just as subtle and confusing.  But ultimately, when viewed in the proper light, is still acceptable.

It might be good to remember that Free Will is what makes STO and STS orientations so subtle and confusing for many, as the Law of Free Will is also referenced as the Law of Confusion, it makes perfect sense to me that we are confused on what is and is not a STO or STS action, intention, desire.  At the same time though we should be aware of it enough to understand the confusion that exists, and to try and make sense of it if not enough in our own personal and unique ways to properly ascertain our own biases, desires, and our true intentions behind our desires.

Our cultural mind is a mixed polarity, that views the pure sides of each polarity with distorted view (what is and should not be) when on one end all is as it should be and on the other end all needs to be shown what it is without regard.

Using the cultural mind as a basis can be hard when referencing polarity, the Matrix makes this pretty obvious.

Most people don't even know that they have Free Will, they just blindly think they're free without realizing how much of their behavior is controlled by rules and regulations.  Others believe themselves to be good as they force their children and friends to behave certain ways around them.  Others think of themselves as evil when they simply have considered and accepted (sometimes sadly) others' perceptions (a STO trait).

In the world of Black and White, White is Black and Black is White, there are no grays.  But once introduced, the entire world becomes Gray and Black and White almost seems to disappear except in cases of extremity.  If you've ever worked in an image editing program, you'd know that reducing the opacity to Black or White creates gray, with the White and Black seemingly disappearing up until a certain rate of purity (opacity) is met.  I like to think in the instance of 3D, the purity of white becomes painstakingly apparent around 51% opacity when they're showcased such love and compassion without fail consistently or considerably.  The black is not as easily understood to be purely black until reaching 95% opacity, at that moment it seems stupidly obvious that a person is that way and just putting on a ruse (take note, a STS entity will use facades at much higher levels to get much further, this is the act of manipulation) and as such at those high levels, it's hard to hide such behavior, it becomes painfully clear to the whole. (Not to say STO won't do so, but to get to 51% STO it's not well to use facades as it goes against the principles of STO mechanics regarding the way an entity is 'judged' by it's self, in this instance, blue-ray activation is hindered with lies)

A gray culture will most likely remain gray until those who come along to show it different ways appear.

You could call those who are coming along Wanderer's, but in the case of Earth, it'd be better noted as those with Dual-Activated Body's and those who have already Graduated on Earth and returned.  They're offering new shades of Gray leading up to White (STO) all while performing within the parameters of Free Will vs Free Will, they are not forcing anyone to do anything, they are offering ideas, innovations, and concepts, being aware of things many other's never thought of.

I am really fearful that I've just convoluted polarity for many...  Please ask me to specify if you are confused.  I've given the subtle natures of Polarity consideration but I'm not an expert, and I could be wrong...
I probably AM wrong in some context, in some shape, way, form, or otherwise in this post and my OP.  I'm not an expert, just attempting to publicly make sense of all of this Subtle Context and Mechanics of Polarity; from Personal Context to Societal Context to Whole/Mass Context to Infinite Context (the various levels Ra said we should consider)

[Minyatur]

I think polarity is in a way about disonance of desire. If you take a STS-based entity and put it in a STO-based world. The entity will obviously be unwell despite the STO community wishing to love it and be of service to it, as such it will try to paint his environment as co-Creator in it's own image by the necessary means for it to happen. Fufilling his desires and being true to himself as a facet of the One Infinite Creator. So whether you are of STO or STS polarity, in both cases you are simply equally being true to your own self desires. It's more STS/STO and STO/STS, STS still provides service to others in it's ways while focusing on self whereas STO still provides service to self in it's ways while focusing on others. One finds it's well being in self and the other it's well being in others, both equally wishing to be well in a way.

What is great here on earth, is that I do think the paradoxes of polarity are easily seen in the mundane conflicts of everyday life. When you take situations where being STO or STS is pretty much equally acceptable, you can perceive it's just about a simple disonance of desires.

Then the polarity conflicts simply grow into greater and greater proportions as consciousness becomes more aware of it's role as co-Creator within this Universe and it's own creative power, while still being about the same exact things than can be seen in a mundane earthly conflict. The mundane being a smaller reflection of the greater conflicts.

I think an apt way of figuring out why we're innately in-twined into either STS or STO is because there is only one way or the other, with the middle being indifference or uncaring.

You will always be a mix, because they're the only available polarities and we as whole beings are not partial. (We do not pick and choose so much as just ARE).

EDIT: That's not to say we can't pick and choose, obviously we must eventually make a choice and begin following through with it, but as an unaware being or even an aware one who is not consciously making the attempts we must be who we are, and unless we know who we are, are we truly...Alive? (does...that make sense?)

Well you can take it further, there is One who is All things.

As such do you even make choices or are you simply awareness of what choices are made under your given origination. This being true in this density and any other.

You have talked about free will but the free will you talked about is not Free Will. It is a lower extension/distortion of Free Will, Free Will in itself in my view is something that cannot be infringed upon, it is the Will that allows each infinite paths to exist as a whole and as a way for the Creator to know Itself, it is the first distortion which stands above all others. In my view it is the End that allows itself to Start and move through all experiences in which it has been infringed upon and has infringed upon others. Hence the ever perfect harmony, unity and hence rendering polarity an illusion in itself.

But despite this notion and knowledge about the ever present unity, we exist under Free Will in an environment which obligates us to polarizes in order to move forward and reach back to the Source. This creates polarity, this makes them both equally acceptable, this allows them to be explored fully within this Creation. Especially in the sense that a highly polarized STO entity is the very same thing as a highly polarized STS entity, only different in their origination within the illusion of time and space which led them to come across different experiences.

In short, we exist only to be true to ourselves in whatever way we are to experience it, so that the Creator may know Himself. Polarity being one parameter for experiences to exist.

Edit : tl;dr, All is ever well.

I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding this.

The underlined didn't make sense to me so could you try explaining it differently?  I believe Free Will cannot be violated, but it can be infringed upon, this might be a case of semantics, so while I probably agree with you in all likelihood I just want to clear this issue up instead of debating it.  Do you think Free Will has lesser measures of itself?  I never thought of it in that way similarly to how I never viewed Love and Light as having differentiation's or distortions of themselves in the form or 'lesser' or 'lower' 'extensions/distortions'.

Did you mean to say Free Will in a microcosmic sense (indivi-duality) is what I'm referring to and not the Macrocosmic Free Will or referenced 'Law of Free Will' as it's Primal Distortion of the Law of One?

As for the Bold, this in itself is a measure of Free Will in a distorted sense in my opinion, but we haven't really fleshed out what Free Will is, so I am lost and confused.  The Law of One has Free Will as it's First Primal Distortion, if all things are the One Infinite Creator (who makes up the Law of One) then what would Free Will be classified or explained as?  Just like we have the questions of, What is Light; What is Love; What is Free Will; What IS One?

Maybe we should perform more in-depth thought and consideration/contemplation on what Free Will is before we start speaking so surely of it.  I'll admit I could be wrong in how I referenced Free Will.  Perhaps it'd be better of me to say, 'The Choices Made' rather than the actual 'being-act of Free Will' being utilized.

Maybe we should build a thread on those questions, Primal Questions: What is One, Free Will, Love, Light?

May I just point out how funny it is that you reference in the italicized, that infringement seems to be the only act capable of 'one' performing to 'an-other'.  While Polarity is clearly stated as an illusion, we are still in it, and in this thread I am trying to flesh out subtlety of Polarity, so may I ask you to avoid moving into figuring's and explanations of how Polarity is an illusion?  We've discussed the inherent concepts of Being/Beingness including the concepts of a non-Start cyclical End being possible from an entity 'Just-As-Is-Being' in regards to infinity and awareness.  (I made a rather lengthy thread on this in this forum months back if you remember, not sure I could find it though.)  So let's avoid repeating these things as well for the time being in this thread if that's acceptable with you?

After a point, Polarity will cease, but for now we are within polarity, and while we may not be in a place to understand it in full, my motive for creating this thread is to try and clear up distortions on polarity to grant people some form of freedom in knowledge that they are not alone in misunderstanding, and that they do not need to fret endlessly in confusion.

I'm trying to make sense of Polarity and it's subtle nature's of intertwining without blurring the inter-twined polarities into a whole new level of distortions.  Does that make sense?

[Minyatur]

I was speaking of the First Distortion, so was taking it to another level than what you were speaking of without trying to disminish it.

My conception of free will is mostly based of the simulatenous aspect of time. That a beginning and an end are simultaenous in themselves and as such I see Free Will applying as the First Distortion at the end rather than the beginning.

Picture yourself achieving the power to change all of your path while deciding to let it be as it is. That's how I view Free Will, because it is the Creator that chose to know Himself and upon knowing Himself He wouldn't prevent it, despite probably having wished for it over and over at different moments along the way. 

This is a very personal thought, but you could say Free Will is what was processed by Intelligent Infinity, that in beingness all things are well to be and exist.

I won't dwell too much on this but will share quotes I think go along with the way I have of seeing things. I haven't really based it of quotes though, Free Will is a thought I had by simply viewing all that is as the One Creator.

27.8 Questioner: Now, I understand that the first distortion of intelligent infinity is the distortion of what we call free will. Can you give me a definition of this distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. In this distortion of the Law of One it is recognized that the Creator will know Itself.

1.7 Questioner: [The question was lost because the questioner was sitting too far from the tape recorder to be recorded.]

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that the universe is infinite. This has yet to be proven or disproven, but we can assure you that there is no end to your selves, your understanding, what you would call your journey of seeking, or your perceptions of the creation.

That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. You have seen simple examples of unity. You have seen the prism which shows all colors stemming from the sunlight. This is a simplistic example of unity.

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

May we enunciate this law in more detail?

[/url]

15.21 Questioner: Well, in yesterday’s material you stated “we offer the Law of One, the solving of paradoxes.” You also mentioned earlier that the first paradox, or the firstdistortion I meant, was the distortion of free will. Could you tell me if there’s a sequence? Is there a first, second, third, fourth distortion of the Law of One?

Ra: I am Ra. Only up to a very short point. After this point, the many-ness of distortionsare equal one to another. The first distortion, free will, finds focus. This is the seconddistortion known to you as Logos, the Creative Principle or Love. This intelligent energy thus creates a distortion known as Light. From these three distortions come many, many hierarchies of distortions, each having its own paradoxes to be synthesized, no one being more important than another.

But I do agree a thread about exploring the implications of this distortion being extended further down to us allowing us to experience that which we experience could be interesting as Ra described it as creating more vivid and intense experiences of the Creator of the Creator. As it allows what we call free will infringment.

[url=http://www.lawofone.info/results.php?s=79]79.27 Questioner: I was just wondering since this seems to be the crux of the experiment— this seems to be the large breaking point between no extension of the first distortion and the extension of the first distortion— what the result of this original experiment was with respect to that which was created from it. What was the result of that?

Ra: I am Ra. This is previously covered material. The result of these experiments has been a more vivid, varied, and intense experience of Creator by Creator.

Well it speaks of the original experiment, but I do think it applies to subsequent experiments. I do believe this extension of Free Will still exists within the non-extended version of it outside of the illusion of Time.
There's a lot of interresting quotes about the first distortion and free will in non-Ra channeled material. 
There's some in this thread which I found insightful : http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=10975

I did not speak of this to move away from polarity, more in understanding why both polarities do equate each others in a way.

[JustLikeYou]

TTP, I think you're missing my point. What I'm saying is that we do not need to detach the association between STS and evil. We can simply detach the association between evil and wrong. All of the conceptual content of STS is already present in the concept of evil. The only additional elements that do not belong are the concept of wrongness, and our failure to distinguish between evil and dysfunctional. If we do not accept terminology that has common currency, we run the risk of marginalizing ourselves by using terms that no one else understands. How indeed will you explain STS to someone else? And what will you say when they say, "That sounds evil!" You could prolong the misunderstanding by saying, "But it's NOT evil!" Or you could cut to the chase by saying "It IS evil, but evil isn't wrong."
