So well-said, MrWho, and simply said.
I looked within at what this statement means to me. And, it led me to an exploration of STO/STS and Creator/Creation, both as two different states, and as One state of being.
When I am able to experience/see Us as One/Infinite being, or organism, I am -- We are -- all things ... all STO and all STS, all Love and all Fear, all judgment and acceptance, and everything in between ... infinity.
It is rare that I can truly experience Us as One/Infinite Creator/Creation. I am a child of this reality I walk in; here, it is oh-so-easy for me to see distinctions, separation and choices betwixt this, that and the other. And it is oh-so-difficult for me to see all as One ... to see all about me and within me as One with me ... to see Us as both the Creator and the Creation in each moment.
Quote:"You must understand that the distinction between yourself and others is not visible to us. We do not consider that a separation exists between the consciousness-raising efforts of the distortion which you project as a personality and the distortion which you project as an other-personality." (Ra, 1.10)
Ra explains that we are truly One ... and that self/other MBS are distortions, projections.
So, if we are truly One, is there truly a distinction between STO and STS, is there a choice between STO and STS?
Quote: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. (Ra, 1.7)
For me, it seems like the choice is not between STO or STS, but is a choice between:
- loving and accepting all about and within me as One, or
- not loving and accepting all about and within me as One.
And, when I/we make the choice between one of the two above, I am (We are) making collective choices: we are both Creator and Creation in this moment of choice. I can not make any other consciousness change its choice, I can not make choices for other consciousnesses: I can only embrace -- or distance myself from -- our collective choices.
I often ask myself: How do I walk, in each and every moment, with Love (acceptance, understanding, compassion, etc.) in the forefront of my consciousness? How do I walk and see all about and within me as One? (Much easier said than done.)
I will stop here and open this up for comments. Please jump on in.
