I don't really think it is that simple. How the material seems to define the key toward negative polarization is control of catalyst, while the key toward positive polarization is acceptance of catalyst.
Well, I don't see that acceptance of catalyst is so easily deduced as just letting a pandemic run its course without taking any precautions for yourself or others because that's accepting. That strikes to me of a very surface level kind of acceptance. In order to accept catalyst, one must know what they are accepting, otherwise we run into the territory of simply trying to "overcome" or "ignore" catalyst, which can cause other imbalances. So where is the acceptance that many people have died from this pandemic? Where is the acceptance that one could more readily spread the disease to a vulnerable person if not taking precautions? If one is willing to believe/say that the service they're doing in not taking precautions is more worthwhile than potentially saving a life from COVID by taking precautions, then one would have to make the case, not hold firm to a simplistic view of acceptance, in my view.
Ra Wrote:82.3 Questioner: Jim has a personal question which is not to be published. You— He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient once this is discovered for a person to work on the acceptance of self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”
Ra: I am Ra. The term efficiency has misleading connotations. In the context of doing work in the disciplines of the personality, in order to be of more full efficiency in the central acceptance of the self, it is first quite necessary to know the distortions of the self which the entity is accepting. Each thought and action needs must then be scrutinized for the precise foundation of the distortions of any reactions. This process shall lead to the more central task of acceptance. However, the architrave must be in place before the structure is builded.

For years now I have seen synchronicities and non-randomness within the catalysts that I face, easily seeing purpose and opportunity in how and when they come to manifest. Then, to want to take the vaccine would be walking backwards in these realizations and it is definitely not what I want to inspire to others. That we need to fear catalyst and control it.
Yes, I believe in the power of faith and the Creator's ability to realize what we are faithful in. Our Logos has created a vivid and very realistic experience, where we are encouraged to turn to the use of our vocal chords for communication and our opposable thumbs to express inspirational energies. I love this world, its challenges and its victories, and the beings here who are very convinced of its materialism. In my assessment (based on the research I have done which I feel is my STO duty to perform), this vaccine is safe and effective. For me to forgo such a solution would be not following my faith and empowerment. It would be me exerting a bias to live in a world different to the one I am in now; I would be operating from a bias that healing should occur miraculously, on my own terms and in my own timeframe, instead of the realized solution that the Creator has presented right in front of me. Afterall, I just don't see there being any "lesser" or "higher" realities as everything can be seen to have a sacramental nature. As the saying goes "we are not material beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a material experience".

Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience.

That's why I said it is important to follow one's own intuition in accomplishing one's role, rather than to let oneself be manipulated by the chaos of other people's thoughts and emotions.
What of the chaos of our own thoughts and emotions Minyatur? You can't read fear, anxiety or attempts to guilt or undermine into my statements, unless you are projecting those onto me. You can't assume that people are being "manipulated by the chaos of other people's thoughts and emotions" in coming to their opinions, if you're not projecting that onto their experience. So why read fear in the words of those willing to take a vaccine to prevent catching COVID, yet no fear into those who reject and are suspicious of the vaccine or 'big pharma' in general? I am genuinely interested in how you have come to make that assessment?
I have personally decided to make my choices based on scientific information. Infact, I can be skeptical of medical professionals as I realise they often don't have the time or energy to be up to date on the latest scientific research. When I have medical concerns, I will often do my own scientific research (from scientific journals, not media articles). I therefore feel well informed and have little emotionality to it in general.
And may I ask to those who will choose nature over medical intervention, if you caught nits, would you use nit shampoo?
