Originally I was trying to transcribe a large quote from the Book of Chuang Tzu which I started to read after finishing the Law of One and hidden hand material. Hidden hand had suggested it so I gave it a pander.

Turns out UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS has been expressed in most of the undistorted perspectives throughout history: I will find the most pertinent ones:

Our life has a boundary but there is no boundary to knowledge.
To use what has a boundary to pursue what is limitless is dangerous;
with this knowledge, if we still go after knowledge, we will run into trouble.
Do not do what is good in order to gain praise.
If you do what is bad be sure to avoid the punishment.
Follow the Middle Course, for this is the way to keep yourself together,
to sustain your life, to care for your parents and to live for many years.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Also something I ponder a lot is Tao Te Ching. There is the only way, found in no way. This is hard to understand at first =̴̶̷̤̄ .̫ =̴̶̷̤̄ Be nature, be like water. be like love.
Be forgiving, be accepting, be cooperative, be loving.

The sound of water says what I think.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)

Once upon a time, I dreamt I was a butterfly...
Suddenly I awoke...
Now, I do not know whether I was then
a man dreaming I was a butterfly,
or whether I am now a butterfly
dreaming that I am a man.

Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC - c. 275 BC)


While these quotes will have to suffice instead of the passages i found in the book I have, 1 the passages were way longer. and I was trying to say. It's fruitless to impose a strictly Law of One discussion. When you have a true understanding of the Law of One and of unity consciousness, then you see that this is fruitless and a form of control.

NOT JUST THAT it means you make it harder for anyone learning the Law of One on a new basis to understand the importance and significance of unity consciousness! This is one of the principle reasons why I stopped using the forums and decided to branch out on my own. Additionally after getting full recall of our karmic ties.

My research and my own path has led me to believe such as is happening with a small pocket of people. That elitism within the Law of One ranks exists.

My recall has led me to learn that the cabal or the powers that be, that control just about everything today, are offspring of an elitist Law of One splinter group, who in their mighty elitism, twisted the original teachings. While the Law of One has given me a high technical understanding of the underpinnings of energy work, it did not teach me application. Much like spending much time in a school reading history books and not going outside enough to play and meditate outside.

In order for me to further learn application, Law of One did talk and say that most wanderers have closed or blocked yellow and orange rays. So I devoted 10 or 15 years of my life to understanding victim vs victor behavior.
This has led me to lightworkers, to channelings, and then finally back to wilcock and to the dzogchen tibetans, the only group with successful rainbow body activations in the recent history.


With that said. to study strictly Law of One, is not studying the infinite nature of the mind body or the spirit, no I would say the depth and breadth of knowledge is absolute, however the blocked yellow rays of individuals perceiving this that have not done the true work.. they will become doomed to become proto cabal in a misguided attempt to follow the Law of One.

I have thought about this for a long time to get to this point of realization.

Couple relevant quotes I think.

49.8 Questioner: Is it better, or shall I say, does it produce more usable results in meditation to leave the mind, shall I say, as blank as possible; let it run down, so to speak, or is it better to focus in meditation on some object or some thing for concentration?

Ra: I am Ra. This shall be the last full query of this work time.

Each of the two types of meditation is useful for a particular reason. The passive meditation involving the clearing of the mind, the emptying of the mental jumble which is characteristic of mind complex activity among your peoples, is efficacious for those whose goal is to achieve an inner silence as a base from which to listen to the Creator. This is an useful and helpful tool and is by far the most generally useful type of meditation as opposed to contemplation or prayer.

The type of meditation which may be called visualization has as its goal not that which is contained in the meditation itself. Visualization is the tool of the adept. Those who learn to hold visual images in mind are developing an inner concentrative power that can transcend boredom and discomfort. When this ability has become crystallized in an adept the adept may then do polarizing in consciousness without external action which can affect the planetary consciousness. This is the reason for existence of the so-called White Magician. Only those wishing to pursue the conscious raising of planetary vibration will find visualization to be a particularly satisfying type of meditation.

Contemplation or the consideration in a meditative state of an inspiring image or text is extremely useful also among your peoples, and the faculty of will called praying is also of a potentially helpful nature. Whether it is indeed an helpful activity depends quite totally upon the intentions and objects of the one who prays.

(1.10) Each of those in this group is striving to use, digest, and diversify the information which we are sending this instrument into the channels of the mind/body/spirit complex without distortion. The few whom you will illuminate by sharing your light are far more than enough reason for the greatest possible effort. To serve one is to serve all. Therefore, we offer the question back to you to state that indeed it is the only activity worth doing: to learn/teach or teach/learn. There is nothing else which is of aid in demonstrating the original thought except your very being, and the distortions that come from the unexplained, inarticulate, or mystery-clad being are many. Thus, to attempt to discern and weave your way through as many group mind/body/spirit distortions as possible among your peoples in the course of your teaching is a very good effort to make. We can speak no more valiantly of your desire to serve.

I think the latter bolded part is also a good method for approaching the idea of balancing. Trying to get a much of a view of the totality as possible so all things are balanced in perception. I see this as internally bringing things in to unity.

Is anyone able to articulate the fifth step in a different way?

These are the first four steps of learning mental discipline. The fifth step involves observing the geographical and geometrical relationships and ratios of the mind, the other mind, the mass mind, and the infinite mind.

yea everyone has varying levels of bullshit.

the trick is to learn how to weave through the truths to find where people are hiding their bullshit


for example.. a fifth density negative entity can only lie within the boundaries of what is socially acceptable, where in they are able to skew the truth in order to further division.. the key precepts to distinguish sts between sto is to discover the fine meaning of the statement and not judge on the messenger.

In this sense truly one must be able to see that there is a difference between being judgmental and using discernment. one is lazy, and the other is thorough.

a service to self wouldn't take the time to even bother to explain. 

with a service to self an action is always taken if there is the possibility of gain, whether it is recognition or anything that would constitute getting something. in order to understand sts once must understand sociopathic tendencies.. which we all have to some degree. everyone has varying degrees of awareness of other selves. 

then true ascension is synthesizing the shared truths that occur, and learning to dissimenate what information was added to the actual meaning of and function of life rather than taking what someone else says. for example i find the star tetrahedron common in various things that have nothing to do with each other. can this be a claim yes, but it's substantiated..

what's another thing sts will do that Ra discusses. they withhold information.. if they cannot lie, or skew the truth then they will withhold information, saying i will tell you next week, or i will tell you when you are ready, or whatever excuse is at the given moment.

there are varying levels of bullshit. 

i could comment on this more in line with the Law of One, but you had asked for an alternative. ultimately the line that separates STO and STS in Fifth density growth is an honest personal responsibility.

An actual honest undertaking in honest personal responsibility easily segways into indigo ray or third eye adept work. Without it, you're just lost, or STS.... 

[Jade]

Interesting take. So basically, in the balancing steps towards becoming a healer (which is what Ra is describing), the fifth step is a deep consideration of the Law of Responsibility?

[Plenum]

Is anyone able to articulate the fifth step in a different way?

I think there are a few things to put in place before further analysis of that passage can take place.

First of all, Ra's complete answer come early on in the sessions (session 5), and I am thinking they did not have access to the concepts and terminology (as Don understood them) to explain in a more complete sense.  Some of the things like the energy centres, the archetypal mind, the roots of mind had not yet been explicated yet, much less named.  So the same question posed at a later date would have yielded a different expressed answer.  Ra's comprehension would have been the same, but they could have unfolded the answer in greater depth.  The limiting factor is in the receiver, not the giver.  (To teach, you teach to the level of comprehension, not to the level of imcomprehension and expertise beyond the individual asking the question).

Secondly, Don's question was originally about becoming effective healers.   To become an effective (read: reliable) Healer, one must first heal the aspects of the self, so that 1) you can witness the distortions of other selves without having the same (unhealed) distortion triggered in oneself, and 2) that you actually understand the mechanism by which healing takes place, by practising it rigorously on oneself, and demonstrating the universal mechanism in practice.

/ /

now before we get to the quote you were asking about, Ra's first part of their answer involved this:

The prerequisite of mental work is the ability to retain silence of self at a steady state when required by the self. The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence.

This 'silence' is necessary to do inner work.  It is not absolute silence as such, where there is no motion or no thoughts.  The silence here is more about calming the distractability of certain portions of the conscious mind, so that it can be focussed on a particular train of thought, and be able to stay with it long enough to see the longer threads and causations.  If one grabs onto one thread of thought, and yet is entranced and englittered by other threads to the point where you jump ship, then you won't ever be able to trace a single train of thought.  You won't be able to pinpoint it's origins, and hence find the imbalancing factors which set it in motion.  There is quite the detective work when it comes to inner work, and if one can't deduce and process something you want to apply yourself to, then there is preliminary work elsewhere to be done.  Silence here is focus, assertion of analysis, and openness to intution.  The silence here is being able to place oneself into a creative place, where inner, deep changes to the mind can be effectuated.

/ /

Once the ability to silence has been gotten used to, then the door to the mind has been opened.  Inside that door, Ra starts speaking about the arcane and adept-level excursions.

Now, to answer your query, as best I understand Ra's words, you will notice that they bracket their answer regards "geography and geometry" in two parts.  

Ra makes this statement here about "geography and geometry"

Within the door lies an hierarchical construction you may liken unto geography and in some ways geometry, for the hierarchy is quite regular, bearing inner relationships.

and then repeats the "geography and geometry" in step 5:

The fifth step involves observing the geographical and geometrical relationships and ratios of the mind, the other mind, the mass mind, and the infinite mind.

It's clear here that step 5 is referring to things inside the door of the mind, and that steps 1-4 are more preliminary steps to getting there.

/ /

so what is inside the door, and why would they use these 2 peculiar words in the context of the mind?

geography: provides a topological overview, and shows how various portions of a landscape are related to each other.
geometry: deals with the ratios (proportions) of one thing to another, and offers the ability to calculate and discern further inner patterns and (previously unseen) connections.

It's my belief that this geography and geometry involves the kind of perspective that involves blue-ray and indigo-ray understandings.  There comes a time in one's seeking when one can start to feel, and then map out individual thoughts to particular wavelength vibrations.  Me and zenmaster spoke about this for a time in chat, and coming to the point where you can actually 'see' a thought for what it is, and comprehend it's dynamics (it's roots, and then inevitable consequences) is key here.  Some further relevant reading can be found in the magnus opus of "Thinking and Destiny".

So here, in this context, I believe that the 'geography' refers to the landscape in which a thought finds itself, and how it sits in relation to other thoughts (like a map), and the geometry speaks to the actual patterns and structures of thoughts, and the dynamic nature of thoughts (which constitute the activity of the mind).

Why is geography and geometry important in the context of healing and balancing?  I think it aids immensely in diagnosis (mapping of discordant thoughts), and then balancing them (understanding their roots and origin).  Once you can start to heal yourself at that mental level, you can see, and I mean truly see, how one's experiential reality is an inevitable consequence of these mental patterns in the deep mind.  It is all perfectly consequential, and the only thing left to randomness is the actual finite expression of them, which is contingent on supportive environmental factors being in place.  But once one has 'accepted' an unbalanced thought pattern as being 'truth' for one, then it's inevitable that it will express itself.  There's no other way.  Our reality is rendered in real-time based on the axioms (our personal truths) which we have accepted as our personal religion.  Some of the things most unquestioned (in terms of mental patterns) are the ones currently causing us the most harm.  We literally cannot perceive them, because we aren't able to become aware of their nature.  We don't see them as a problem.

But given the feedback of dreams and "inside the door" work, one can trace these deep level axioms, and balance them.  As they are balanced, the palpable feedback of relief is ushered in instantaneously; it's a miracle in any other terms.  Inner healing.  The truest miracle of all.

I think you hit the nail on the head, plenum, especially the "limiting factors of the receiver". Ra kind of ran over that step with some strange terminology, but it was totally within Don's ability to further question what the "geographical and geometric ratios of the mind" meant more explicitly.

Unfortunately for our immediate understanding, after Ra finished answering the initial question in Session 5/6, the amount of information was so overwhelming that Don defaulted to asking about Venus and Maldek, leaving us with some good riddles to solve.

It also interesting to note that Ra tells Don he is a healer, and that they must accept that honor/responsibility if they want to learn the healing. I may be wrong, but I'm not sure Don did much active healing after accepting that honor/duty from Ra - sadly, because I think if he would have had less of an indigo blockage, he might have been able to do more work on Carla (not to mention himself). But, as it was, while they were involved in the Ra contact, it was a stressful time in general, especially for Don who did so much traveling for work. Blessings to them, just making a side comment about the session(s) we are discussing (Ra tells Don he has innate healing abilities in Session 4).

In my view being a healer is harsh, it is to consciously make others' sufferings your own when most try to escape from just their own.

[Jade]

The trick is to not be afraid of suffering, as it is just as transient as all the other reactions in the body complex. Of course, that isn't as easily done as said. It's definitely a process.

Speaking of, this is exactly what Don did at the end of his life - he asked to make Carla's sufferings his own. As we know, that was very, very difficult for him, but ended with him succeeding in fully opening his heart chakra.

Oh my! I am a healer of sorts and it only brings me joy. It's all "push" no "pull" at all. Healing is to offer a gift, with nothing in return.

Brilliant!

[Jade]

I think many people read the Ra material, and decide that they want to be healers. Which is great! Within the first couple of sessions even Ra is talking about crystal healing. It's obviously a big part of the story Don was meant to get Ra to tell. However, it *isn't* all fun and games to be a healer, and the process of initiation is tough. I think a lot of people get stuck in that initiation, actually. They get excited and a part of their being says "Yes! I accept this honor/responsibility!" but they have no idea the gravity of that honor/responsibility.

This, of course, takes initiation, and there have never been many to persevere to the extent of progressing through the various distortion leavings which initiation causes.

I think this is the type of STO "discipline" (sorry to cross thread discussions) that needs to be exercised - discipline and strength of will to persevere through the various stages of initiation that taking on the honor/duty of being a healer entails.

[Plenum]

In my view being a healer is harsh, it is to consciously make others' sufferings your own when most try to escape from just their own.

the best analogy I have for being a healer is like seeding a torrent.  The perfectly balanced healer (say a Jesus), would have 100% copy of the file for '3d'.  In all truth, most healers would have much less than a 100%.  I am thinking say 70% would be a good percentage to begin one's healing work.

What happens is that the Healer then is able to seed the torrent with whatever amount of balance they have.  If the Healer is at 70%, he is capable of providing a copy of his balanced patterns to other peers, and fill in their blank aspects.  In doing so, they lose nothing of themselves, and are just radiating the balance that they have.  Healing is filling in the blanks for others.  The whole 'giving positive energy' to others is a poor model for healing imo.  It suggests loss.  Positive radiation (by providing a copy of your balance) is the better model.  In that sense, highly balanced individuals can passively heal/radiate without formally engaging in the practice of a Practioner-Client model of Healing.

That said - the ability to receive healing aspects is dependent on a desire to change.  The Healer can help balance, but can't learn for an individual.  

For someone truly ready to heal, the amount of transfer can be incredible.  

[Aion]

Great analogy, fits very well with my experience in Reiki practice.

[AnthroHeart]

Yeah, great analogy. All healing comes through us, not from us.

How to balance? Simple. 


It is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it.

[AnthroHeart]

I just let go and let gravity take me into the chair.
I let go of attachment and expectation.
It's like being in a big V where you find balance at the bottom of it.
