Question on: Favorite Quotes from the Law of One Sessions

[Ben]

What does Ra mean by the underlined part, starting with: One item etc.? I live in Holland, my English is not that good ..so

One of the primal distortions of the Law of One is that of healing. Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. The healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.

One item which may be of interest is that a healer asking to learn must take the distortion understood as responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing. This is a honor/duty which must be carefully considered in free will before the asking.

Again: Carla, Jim and Don (R.I.P.) thx for your work, blessings..
Happy X-mas and a great 2012!

[Namaste]

I think it implies two things; firstly, it's a commitment and requites dedication - think before wishing for all 'gifts' under the sun. Secondly, you're responsible/accountable for use of said gift(s).

[zenmaster]

Well we don't live in an isolated vacuum from one another. The healer offers the change, it's accepted, there are consequences directly tied to both parties. Also, you may know better than to correct particular distortions, or conversely, not know if it's advisable. So in both cases where there is a lack of congruency on both parties, the responsible thing may be to learn more, wait, or refrain, for example.

[Ankh]

As I understand that quote, of what Ra might have meant, is that the person who wants to learn healing must first carefully consider this in free will, and then understand this asking as duty/honor.

[zenmaster]

As I understand that quote, of what Ra might have meant, is that the person who wants to learn healing must first carefully consider this in free will, and then understand this asking as duty/honor.

If it's indigo-ray work, it's being asked to heal, participating in the healing act, not 'becoming a healer' (like a vocation) that is the central idea. Why? There are people that can and do heal when asked (on the spur of the moment) without being taught - possibly just with another's guidance. There are some others that can see imbalance and just heal without prior training or direction - this is possible when understanding the self to a certain extent or having a relative balance.

"You have been given information upon healing, as you call this distortion. This information may be seen in a more general context as ways to understand the self. The understanding, experiencing, accepting, and merging of self with self and other-self, and finally with the Creator, is the path to the heart of self. In each infinitesimal part of your self resides the One in all of Its power."

[native]

Since healing is simply alleviation of distortion, it is a very general process of understanding the self, isn't it? Any time teaching/learning is offered, it creates the potential to heal..to alleviate distortion. In other words, when the recipient learns/teaches something about itself/society, a healing takes place..a greater understanding of the self is brought about..an increase in the merging with other selves takes place.

[Ankh]

zen, perhaps it is as you have meant, but in that case shouldn't the quote in question be: "One item which may be of interest is that a healer asking to learn must take the distortion understanding the self as responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing."?

[Ben]

Thanks for your answers. I cannot grasp it in full, it is for this part: ...must take the distortion understood as responsibility...
It looks like Ra wanted to tell us maybe: when looking at the so called distortion (if we recognize it..) we then (if asked) have to act in free will by "healing" this distortion, if we have the believe and the power of healing.

These where my thoughts and I hope I explained it, so you can feel/see what i think about this quote.

Feel free to respond.

[Ankh]

Thanks for your answers. I cannot grasp it in full, it is for this part: ...must take the distortion understood as responsibility...


Feel free to respond.

As I understand that quote, is that - the distortion of which Ra speak in this particular quote is that a healer before asking to learn healing, must understand this distortion as a responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing, which is an honor/duty that must be considered in free will before the asking. In other words, before you ask to learn healing, think about it, as it must be understood what it means.

What it means is stated in other quotes, like the one zen posted, or it might be as you have said here:

when looking at the so called distortion (if we recognize it..) we then (if asked) have to act in free will by "healing" this distortion, if we have the believe and the power of healing.

[oguz]

this one (end) is my favourite. it's soothing and feels great

I am Ra. We leave you in appreciation of the circumstances of the great illusion in which you now choose to play the pipe and timbrel and move in rhythm. We are also players upon a stage. The stage changes. The acts ring down. The lights come up once again. And throughout the grand illusion and the following and the following there is the undergirding majesty of the One Infinite Creator. All is well. Nothing is lost. Go forth rejoicing in the love and the light, the peace and the power of the One Infinite Creator. I am Ra. Adonai.

[zenmaster]

zen, perhaps it is as you have meant, but in that case shouldn't the quote in question be: "One item which may be of interest is that a healer asking to learn must take the distortion understanding the self as responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing."?

Well, that understanding of the self is already primary to any healing work. Kind of goes without saying.

[Ankh]

Well, that understanding of the self is already primary to any healing work. Kind of goes without saying.

Well, it was exciting and resonating to read about this particular understanding of the self in the Ra material, but I wouldn't state that I was born with this particular knowledge.

I am not sure I am following how you interpret this quote. What distortion do you think that they might have meant that "must be understood as responsibility..."?

[zenmaster]

Healing is part of the work of balancing, it involves the removal of or replacement of unnecessary distortions. But with what? A pattern of distortion just as individualized which provides yet another 'way' to experience. The new distortion is consciously selected by the healer, it may be consciously or unconsciously accepted by the one to be healed. Healing by another can be like an intercession which provides a 'new way', with different resources being available for use, and real consequences to evolution.

That fact is, there are numerous reasons whereby some are not ready to be 'healed'. The would-be, new condition may be simply less appropriate compared to the current condition. You're not always allowing someone to be more 'whole' if they can not, comparatively, more effectively use some new condition. And there ways to investigate if this is the case before healing is offered, which is a responsibility. Knowing someone at that level is a responsibility.

[kycahi]

I like every response to the question, perhaps especially zenmaster's above. Ra also might have been trying to let Don down easily, trying to say gently, "Don't go into that healing part, it isn't for you." Later on they say that more directly.

The particular quote in question implies to me that a 3D person, even a Wanderer, should not "take up healing" lightly because

• It's a long hard path of discipline
  
• You must allow that some maladies are catalysts for some entities, i.e. supposed to be there
  
• Even if you can heal something, perhaps you shouldn't
  

I think that if I were a pretty good healer, I wouldn't be able to fix something if the client is supposed to have the affliction. Maybe if I were a really powerful healer, I could seem to fix that affliction, but either the client would come down with it again or something else later, or I might take on something myself as a "reminder" not to go too far.

I don't know about this, but would love to continue this discussion to complete my understanding. My interpretation in regards to spoken by Ra responsibility is as I have already stated in my first post in this thread, based on following arguments/understanding:

Firstly, as both Ra and kycahi have stated, building the stable foundation (mental discipline & study/understanding of body complexes) takes time:

This is the proper choice, building from the foundation, making sure the ground is good for the building. We have assessed for you the intensity of this effort in terms of energy expended. You will take this in mind and be patient for we have not given a short or easy program of consciousness learn/teaching.

When that is done, the healer is then able to do healing in following way:

The purpose of carefully and consciously opening this channel is to serve in a more dependable way, in a more commonplace or usual way, as seen by the distortion complex of the healer. To others there may appear to be miracles. To the one who has carefully opened the door to intelligent infinity this is ordinary; this is commonplace; this is as it should be. The life experience becomes somewhat transformed and the great work goes on.

Nevertheless, whatever miracles this healer is able to do, there is following to be kept in mind:

Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. The healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.

And:

In each case of what you would call ill health one or more of these energy centers is blocked. The intelligence of the mind/body/spirit complex needs then to be alerted either by the self as healer or by the catalyst of another healer, as we have said before.

And:

The self-healing distortion is effected through realization of the intelligent infinity resting within.

And finally:

It is not by example that the healer does the working. The working exists in and of itself. The healer is only the catalyst, much as this instrument has the catalysis necessary to provide the channel for our words, yet by example or exercise of any kind can take no thought for this working.

The healing working is congruent in that it is a form of channeling some distortion of the intelligent infinity.

Meaning that the healer does not heal for another self, as a teacher does not teach for another self, but they both offer a service of healing/teaching, thus being catalysts/channels for these processes.

And to come back to the quote of this thread, the responsibility that Ra speak of is the responsibility for the asking to learn the healing, and to see it as honor/duty, which has to be considered in free will before the asking; not the healing work itself, as this work is not done by the healer, but by intelligent infinity.

Thoughts are appreciated, as it is indeed confusing...

[native]

My understanding is that when Ra speaks of healing, they aren't always specifically referring to the mystical aspect of bodily transformation that is possible..although they have mentioned it. Any time we learn something about the self, that is healing. So we all heal as we go about removing distortion. If you knowingly do not put into practice something which has been realized, you would be consciously allowing further distortion to occur. This is "irresponsible". So healing does not occur until that which is offered is fully accepted, and so we become responsible for that new worldview. It's possible to stray eventually, in which catalyst would come at you in a very swift and forceful way.

When enough learning of the self is accomplished, we become a more conscious healer able to offer opportunity simply through our state of being. The more I learned about myself, and more importantly the more I learned to be myself, my personal sphere and the misunderstandings between us began to dissolve without me having to really "do" anything. Others simply learned to accept me, and began adopting certain aspects of the worldview I offered. That is healing in action. Through example we heal if the teaching is accepted. "The purpose of clearing each energy center is to allow that meeting place to occur at the indigo ray vibration, thus making contact with intelligent infinity and dissolving all illusions (the act of healing). Service-to-others is automatic at the released energy generated by this state of consciousness." So healing becomes an autonomous process.

[AnthroHeart]

Any time we learn something about the self, that is healing

Sometimes it can be frightening what we learn about ourselves. It's all about how we view it, and how we process that leads to healing.

[native]

Good clarification..acceptance = integration, which is learning.

[AnthroHeart]

True. We are actually integrating the unconscious, by making it conscious, and acceptance as you mention. And finally achieving balance.

[zenmaster]

And to come back to the quote of this thread, the responsibility that Ra speak of is the responsibility for the asking to learn the healing, and to see it as honor/duty, which has to be considered in free will before the asking; not the healing work itself, as this work is not done by the healer, but by intelligent infinity.

Thoughts are appreciated, as it is indeed confusing...

4.14 Questioner: I’m a little confused. I partially understand you, but I’m not sure that I fully understand you. Could you restate that in another way?

Ra: I can restate that in many ways, given this instrument’s knowledge of your vibratory sound complexes. I will strive for a shorter distortion at this time.

Two kinds there are who can heal: those such as yourself who, having the innate distortion towards knowledge-giving of the Law of One, can heal but do not; and those who, having the same knowledge, but showing no significant distortion consciously towards the Law of One in mind, body, or spirit, yet and nevertheless have opened a channel to the same ability.

The point being that there are those who, without proper training, shall we say, nevertheless, heal. It is a further item of interest that those whose life does not equal their work may find some difficulty in absorbing the energy of intelligent infinity and thus become quite distorted in such a way as to cause disharmony in themselves and others and perhaps even find it necessary to cease the healing activity. Therefore, those of the first type, those who seek to serve and are willing to be trained in thought, word, and action are those who will be able to comfortably maintain the distortion toward service in the area of healing.

Ra is implying here that training is required, not in order to heal, but in order to consistently heal without causing distortion (maintaining some degree of balance and fidelity to service) in themselves and others. It is apparently not straightforward to always make changes with the consideration of another's (a unique-other's) 'highest good', without such training. And the would-be healer is also necessarily working on part of themselves in the process of healing. The impression one gets of another's condition (be it harmonious or disharmonious) must necessarily be interpreted from the standpoint one's relative balance.

So to sum it up, there are people that can and do naturally heal (the 'miraculous', intelligent-infinity method), without any training. But if they go about that work, lacking training, it may be difficult to do in a harmonious manner (without causing undue distortion for themselves and for others).

[native]

True. We are actually integrating the unconscious, by making it conscious, and acceptance as you mention. And finally achieving balance.

Yeah..so it makes sense that one must become responsible for upholding that balance, because our consciousness has become more whole. To knowingly act out of balance would have a negative effect, as Ra said.

It is apparently not straightforward to always make changes with the consideration of another's (a unique-other's) 'highest good', without such training.

It was advised in several ways for healers to just be themselves, and let others seek healing. "It is important to allow each seeker to enlighten itself rather than for any messenger to attempt in language to teach/learn for the entity, thus being teach/learner and learn/teacher."

There's that aspect of wholeness which is due to learning/integration/acceptance - and that increase in awareness does tend to promote a relatively healthy condition.

However, there are also situations in which there is requisite acceptance for a 'healthier' condition, but due to misunderstanding at some level, the configuration of m/b/s remains distorted towards ill-health. Things don't always fall into place eventually. Without assistance, it may not be possible for a person to recognize even very minor distortions.

So there is the asking. However, if they were able to know exactly what they were asking for, there would be no problem (undesirable distortion) in the first place.

[Ankh]

Ra is implying here that training is required, not in order to heal, but in order to consistently heal without causing distortion (maintaining some degree of balance and fidelity to service) in themselves and others.

Yes, that plus in order for those who wish to serve others by distortion of healing, dependently, to consciously and carefully open the door to intelligent infinity.

It is apparently not straightforward to always make changes with the consideration of another's (a unique-other's) 'highest good', without such training. And the would-be healer is also necessarily working on part of themselves in the process of healing. The impression one gets of another's condition (be it harmonious or disharmonious) must necessarily be interpreted from the standpoint one's relative balance.

I am of an understanding that you can heal whatever you wish to heal, but if the distortions are not accepted by the entity who is to be healed, there is no way that you could heal these distortions:

The role of the healer is to offer an opportunity for realignment or aid in realignment of either energy centers or some connection between the energies of mind and body, spirit and mind, or spirit and body. This latter is very rare.

The seeker will then have the reciprocal opportunity to accept a novel view of the self, a variant arrangement of patterns of energy influx. If the entity, at any level, desires to remain in the configuration of distortion which seems to need healing it will do so. If, upon the other hand, the seeker chooses the novel configuration, it is done through free will.

This is one great difficulty with other forms of energy transfer in that they do not carry through the process of free will as this process is not native to yellow-ray.

The healer does not heal. The crystallized healer is a channel for intelligent energy which offers an opportunity to an entity that it might heal itself.

In no case is there an other description of healing. Therefore, there is no difference as long as the healer never approaches one whose request for aid has not come to it previously. This is also true of the more conventional healers of your culture and if these healers could but fully realize that they are responsible only for offering the opportunity of healing, and not for the healing, many of these entities would feel an enormous load of misconceived responsibility fall from them.

We might note further that when the one wishing to be healed, though sincere, remains unhealed, as you call this distortion, you may consider pre-incarnative choices and your more helpful aid to such an entity may be the suggestion that it meditate upon the affirmative uses of whatever limitations it might experience.

Thus, in my understanding, it is a misbelief that a healer may do any changes in another self, that are not "good" for this entity.

So to sum it up, there are people that can and do naturally heal (the 'miraculous', intelligent-infinity method), without any training. But if they go about that work, lacking training, it may be difficult to do in a harmonious manner (without causing undue distortion for themselves and for others).

It seems so considering the quote you posted, in regards to those who are not asking for training.

For those who do, Ra is pointing out some kind of responsibility as an interesting item. Perhaps you are responsible to understand what you are asking for, perhaps there is also the Law of Responsibility that is in question here. If you ask for healing, then you get responsible for practicing what you learn, to live what you have been given in understandings/seeingness? But Ra also stated, in your quote, that it is possible to cause disharmony in other selves (that is of course concerns those who are not asking for training, in that quote).

This is what I could dig out concerning responsibility anyway:

Ra equals responsibility to honor (16:40)

I am Ra. Each responsibility is an honor; each honor, a responsibility.

The Ways of Responsibility are also described as follows (34:17):

...the rejection of the Law or Way of Responsibility; that is, seeing universal love, yet still it fought on.

This particular Law exists therefore not only in regards to healing, but in each entity's experience. As soon as it learns something, this entity either accepts this learning/demonstrating it in action, or rejects it. Rejecting this Law, which Ra call also as the ways of honor/duty, is what caused us a decreased life span (22:5):

Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted.

In regards to healing the responsibility, besides the quote in question, is mentioned in 5:2:

In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience.

I am still a bit confused regarding this whole topic in order to sum this properly up, but it will hopefully come in time.

True healing is simply the radiance of the self

[zenmaster]

I am of an understanding that you can heal whatever you wish to heal, but if the distortions are not accepted by the entity who is to be healed, there is no way that you could heal these distortions:

Yes, accept either consciously or unconsciously.

Thus, in my understanding, it is a misbelief that a healer may do any changes in another self, that are not "good" for this entity.

Consider the meaning of 'good'. Someone working with indigo-ray energy can cause (good) disease as well. This is in keeping with the concept of what is exploitable by a psychic greeting. It can be argued that there was an unconscious acceptance of such a new, diseased distortion. Whether or not the affected entity was 'tricked'. If something offered was merely a viable new condition (healthier or not), and it is accepted, you have the new condition. It is a fool-proof system of learning.

I lacked the proper word for what I wished to say, and this was not the right choice of word by me. We are talking about healing here:

The healing, if it is to be effectuated, must be a funneling without significant distortion of the in-streamings through the spiritual complex into the tree of mind. There are parts of this mind which block energies flowing to the body complex. In each case, in each entity, the blockage may well differ.

However, it is necessary to activate the sense of the spiritual channel or shuttle. Then whether the blockage is from spiritual to mental or from mental to physical, or whether it may simply be a random and purely physical trauma, healing may then be carried out.

So it should have said perhaps that, in my understanding, it is a misbelief that a healer may do any changes in another self, that are not accepted, consciously or unconsciously yes, by this entity. Some distortion/s block/s the free flow of intelligent energy, which if there are no blocks perfecting moment by moment the individual's body complex by instreaming down into the mind/body/spirit complex (Ra, 12:31). The healer offers an opportunity for a new set of realignment or aid in realignment of either energy centers or some connection between the energies of mind and body, spirit and mind, or spirit and body (Ra, 66:9).

[native]

So there is the asking. However, if they were able to know exactly what they were asking for, there would be no problem (undesirable distortion) in the first place.

Yeah, it's not always easy. People tend to move at their own pace.
