The Law of One Spiritual Advice Podcast

99.5 Ra:
As in all distortions, the source is the limit of the viewpoint.

100.9: Questioner: It would also seem to me that, since Ra stated in the last session the limit of the viewpoint is the source of all distortions, that the very nature of the service-to-self distortions that create the left-hand path are a function of the veil [and] therefore are dependent, you might say, to some degree, on at least a partial continued veiling. Does this make any sense?

Ra: I am Ra. There is the thread of logic in what you suppose.
The polarities are both dependent upon a limited viewpoint. However, the negative polarity depends more heavily upon the illusory separation betwixt the self and all other mind/body/spirit complexes.

The positive polarity attempts to see through the illusion to the Creator in each mind/body/spirit complex, but for the greater part is concerned with behaviors and thoughts directed towards other-selves in order to be of service. This attitude in itself is full of the stuff of your third-density illusion.

80.11:
(The seeker seeks)
true association with the heart of all other-selves and disassociation only from the illusory husks which prevent the adept from correctly perceiving the self and other-self as one.

It is difficult to live in this world where it seems that everything revolves around money. It is important to remind ourselves that money is only representative of energy. This energy is not necessarily evil… It definitely encourages people to embrace separation as they hoard this treasure because of fear of lack. When in reality there is more to our lives than energy in the form of money.

It is known that after people have reached a certain level of having their basic needs met plus a little more leisure, increased money does not increase happiness. So then we must ask ourselves what does it mean to serve? Is it just about giving money away or are there more forms of service available.

Time, sympathy, honesty, love, wisdom. All of these things are valuable to ourselves and others. If we expand the scope of what it means to serve, we can come to a more balanced view of money. Yes sharing money is a form of service but so is sharing all the previously mentioned things. So when we set our intention to serve, you don’t have to limit your service to the money area. Give your time, give your heart and wisdom, give your sympathy, give an ear to listen to someone’s woes. These are all extremely valuable. Sometimes more so than money.

Hatonn:

There is that about money which is finite, in the heaviest illusory sense of that word. And indeed it does come through into the illusion as each entity pays its bills and ponders how to save, how to spend, and how to conduct one’s business, that there is nothing left over, that the riches that one has coming to one are not aplenty but are a subsistence which one may work with with the budget and the planning. Indeed, this institution of the spending of money is one of very many ways that lead to separation.

And yet let us look at other ways as well. Yes, it is true that there are those within our city close to your dwelling place who are hungry this day, who do not have appropriate clothing for the chilliness of your present climate, who have found themselves unable to enter themselves into the society with enough success to produce money.

And, my friends, this is something that is likely to be somewhat of a growing experience as times become more confused and the society less stable. One does not have to look far to find ways to share one’s money, for we shall tell you that there is a great liberation in the sharing of what in your illusion seems to be that which you need. It liberates an entity which is plunged into the illusion from the illusion, precisely insofar as the entity is giving great gifts with the desire to serve the one great Self that knows no separation. Yet there are many ways in which we plunge into the illusion, my friends, are there not? When is a smile stopped upon the face because an entity is plunged too far into an attitude of separation to be able to share joy with another? When is the young in experience shut off from the giver of that experience but when the giver of that experience is self-involved and feels that it would be too expensive to spend time in merely speaking?

You see in actuality, my friends, all those about you are cells of your body, living portions of your reality. To open one’s heart, whatever the need, when done consciously, is a polarizing action, whether it is by the giving of money, the giving of time, the giving of attention or the giving of sympathy, you have much to share with those about you. You have many appropriate greetings for yourself. You have much room for love. And yet, can you do this for yourself? We assure you that unless the will is engaged, your experience of true sharing shall inevitably be blunted! For it is not something that is done mechanically, but from the heart.

Therefore, as always, we assure you that the process of service to others begins within as you groom and season your own personal reality with a thirst and a desire to serve. It helps within your illusion if some process of analysis is added to the thirst for service, for each has prepared a way in which to walk to be of service and clues are all about you, yet without the continuing process of prayerful meditation and of a daily focusing on the search for the one great original Thought and the consciousness it provides, your ambition to be a pure part of the body and vehicle for the Creator will be emaciated. How we encourage you to continue in your meditations and prayers, and then we encourage you to open the eyes and see within each day, each experience, not only the good that can come from that but the clues towards your own centering and your own greatest depth of being.

Q’uo: Nov 13 2010

Set your intention to serve and you shall serve beyond your wildest dreams.

It is easy to become discouraged with the seeming never ending catalyst that comes our way. The rules of this third density existence require us to go through various dark nights of the soul so that we may drop away those things that no longer serve us and through transformation, create space for new ideas and lessons to manifest.

The issue at hand is that it never seems to stop. As is the nature of the universe being infinite, so is the nature of the lessons we are here to learn. There is no beginning or end, just the infinite path towards knowing ourselves.

This can be rather disheartening but it can also create a calm about you depending how you choose to perceive it. Are you a victim of circumstance? Or do you recognize everyone has their challenges and although yours may seem dark and difficult, you will hopefully learn what it is that your soul is trying to teach you and be a better more authentic person than you were previously.

In the long scheme of things, everything is One. There is only the illusion of separation. All is well in this oneness no matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise. The illusion is heavy but necessary for our learning. That understood, the chaos is working as intended. Shakes you up, gets you to ponder, burns away what is no longer needed, hopefully leading to patience for the next set of lessons to come. You don’t need to conquer all your lessons in a short period of time. You need to learn to be patient, pointing your will in the direction of wanting to learn/know/grow and you will certainly achieve that. It’s less about how fast you run and more about how deep you wish to know the truth. The will is everything. What you seek shall come to you.

-L

L/Leema (November 17, 1985):

We realize that there is a need within the illusion to find a way of thinking about or dealing with these pressures. There are as many ways as there are individuals. One way which we might recommend to you is gentleness with yourself. If you can see yourself as that unique being that is not threatened by extinction by any force from without or from within, then perhaps you can see the possibility of offering to yourself the gift of gentleness, patience and kindness to the self by the self. Examine, if you wish, a pressure that is causing you anguish, pain and confusion. Turn it about in your mind, test it, allow the uniqueness that is you to impinge upon that illusion, and then with kindness and thanking the source of the pressure, the seeming pain, the seeming confusion, allow the self to sound its chord.

Perhaps it has been a difficult thing to hear your own beingness. This is understandable, my friends, for you do dwell within a heavy illusion. The heaviness of the illusion is not an error. There is a design which involves your becoming fuller, developing your uniqueness, accentuating certain qualities of being upon which you may have worked for many, many lifetimes. How could you develop without stimulus, even if that stimulus is painful? Look at the world with a kind eye, a gentle eye, a forgiving eye.

The world does not mean to hurt. The illusion is doing what it was intended to do, and you may move very quickly and confusedly so that you muddy that beautiful chord which is yourself, or you may stop and become gentled and thank the illusion for its pressures and its anguish and its pain. You shall not be victorious over it; you shall learn from it, and it shall learn from you. It is well to remember that the undifferentiated terms such as “society” and “family” and “church” are in fact parts of yourself which you have called to yourself in order that you may polish up that beautiful, harmonious, infinitely lovely identity, that you may develop and thrive without regard for life or death as you know it.

We know that this may be somewhat difficult to assimilate, for you are entities who dwell within bodies and who are impinged upon by what seem to be marvelously strong outer forces. Know, my friends, that all of those outer forces are portions of the creation which you have called to yourself for purposes of development. Know that you do not have to work at this development, you do not have to be a student of development. Indeed, the more active you are, the slower will be your going. Gentleness, patience and quiet are the balms of the identity as it waits and watches and loves and chooses.

Is being kind the only hallmark of compassion? Can hard truths be compassionate? I think compassion is being kind and truthful. What is not compassionate is witholding truth from other-selves at the worry of offending them. Often we learn from offense. Especially when it is delivered in a loving and kind manner. Constructive criticism as it were called.

I think the world is in the somewhat sore state it is in because people think being compassionate is just about being kind and not risking upsetting others. The problem is that when you withhold the truth from others, you are partaking in a lie. You have the discrimination and judgement of your truth that is worth sharing. If it offends, so be it. Of course try to do it in the kindest way possible. But maybe that is what the other-self needed… some honest and open feedback that will be helpful catalyst in their journey.

Speaking Truth vs Being Nice

Truth Over Admiration
Compassionate Communication
Is Being Harmless Virtuous?
Truth Isn’t Easy
Lies Are Not Kind

101.8

Ra: The entity which is given constant and unremitting approval by those surrounding it suffers from the loss of the mirroring effect of those which reflect truthfully rather than unquestioningly. This is not a suggestion to reinstate judgment but merely a suggestion for all those supporting instruments; that is, support, be harmonious, share in love, joy, and thanksgiving, but find love within truth, for each instrument benefits from this support more than from the total admiration which overcomes discrimination.

80.15: Ra:

Even the most unhappy of experiences, shall we say, which seem to occur in the Catalyst of the adept, seen from the viewpoint of the spirit, may, with the discrimination possible in shadow, be worked with until light equaling the light of brightest noon descends upon the adept and positive or service-to-others illumination has occurred.

The lesson or goal of this density is to realize that the moment contains love. As more truth is revealed to us, it is sometimes not a pleasing truth to reconcile.

Truths aren’t usually black and white. The truth is mixed with shadow giving a sort of grey hue. Choosing what is right and what is wrong is no easy task. This concept can be played as a trick against us. Having us feel that there is a discernible hero and villain and that we should fight one another. The tricks of duality. These are sketchy ways of understanding. 

What you can rely on is that the moment contains love. As distorted as the situation may seem, there contains The Creator in every person and every moment… That Creator is a creature of love. If we can remember the unity of things, finding the love in the moment becomes easier. It becomes easier to forgive. Easier to make mistakes and grow from them. Easier to keep our focus away from the divisions that seem to separate us.

-L

You came here to love, not necessarily fix things:

Q’uo: Dec 25 2010

The truth is often not what one wants to see. It is not all tied up in a pretty bow. It is not all positive. It does not seem to be fair; that is, it does not seem to be beautiful or true or just or equitable. And yet you see all these things because you are being bombarded constantly by fourth-density light.

So, yes, there is every reason to feel more tired than usual, to be weary with the world’s heavy energies. And yet you came here to serve. This is the moment for which you sacrificed so much. Now you are here. Now you are on the ground. Now you are in the midst of the fire, and it certainly is wearying. Yet comfort yourself with the knowledge that you did not come here to fix things. You came here to love things—to love yourself and to love those around you, to love all of the tribe of humankind and, above all, to love the Creator.

Therefore, it’s all right to feel weary. One feels weary at sundown. And it is truly sundown for your planet and your people. At the end of this incarnation, each of you shall walk the steps of light. This is your last incarnation upon this particular planet in this particular environment. Consequently, rejoice in your time, however wearying it may seem. You are in the place you sacrificed comfort and family and the remembrance of how things truly are, [so that you could] serve and to learn. And you are serving, my sister and you are learning. And so are all of those who seek at this time.

Unblock yellow ray (path to heart):

102.11 Ra:
Each entity must, in order to completely unblock yellow ray, love all which are in relationship to it, with hope only of the other-selves’ joy, peace, and comfort.

THE MOMENT CONTAINS LOVE

10.14:
Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions.

FOCUSING YOUR ENERGY ON HELPFUL THINGS
Q’uo: Dec 25 2010

Energy expenditure, especially when it is devoted to the energies of self-judgment, self-criticism and a lack of self-forgiveness, are energies that are unwisely spent. Once those energies are dedicated to self-judgment and related energies, those energies are no longer free to be used for love’s service. Consequently, although it may seem difficult to do at first, we encourage you at all times to come from a place of being self-forgiven, in full knowledge of your worth and with no tendency towards self criticism.

It is not that we would suggest that you stop noticing when you make errors. Self-perceived errors are helpful and mistakes are the way people learn, whatever their field of study. However, it is useless to become angry at the self because one has added two and two and gotten five. It is only necessary to note down that two and two equal four and to move from that premise in the future.

The energy expenditures that you are called to are those of love. That is why you came and that is why you remain. You are not yet done loving this planet and its people. Consequently, waste no time in judgment on yourself or on others but only spend your energy on the inner planes for those purposes of dedicating all that you are and all that you have to the service of the one Creator; to being that entity of love that you intended to be when you chose to come here.

ENLIGHTENED BEING
Q’uo:
IN general an enlightened being is one who is aware in an accurate and far-reaching manner of the nature of his environment, so that he is not only able to live serenely in the midst of the chaos that swims between every breath upon your Planet Earth existence, but is also able to share this vision that transcends the multiplicity of detail and brings together a united picture of how things are to others.

It is not that you are wrong in some of your judgments of others and the negative feelings they bring up within you. However, only they are responsible for their actions. You are not responsible for their actions. You can only control the way you see this behaviour and your reaction to it. The world is a house of mirrors, mirroring back to you what you see in yourself. If there is self judgement and healing needed within you, the shadow aspects of yourself will start to reveal themselves in the form of emotional triggers. Those being anything that moves your interior feelings(either positively or negatively).

As we learn to see with eyes of Love, so will our reality start to reflect the same. Even if it is a stark reality that seems to be void of love. You will see reality for what it is, which is distorted Love. Only when we begin to see reality as this, can we progress in purifying our intentions and integrating the shadow side of ourselves.
-L

Integrating Your Shadow
True Compassion/Reflections of Self:
Jan 7 – 2008 – Q’uo

The process of working with yourself is very important in the regard that once you have begun to have true compassion upon yourself, then and only then, can you begin to have true compassion for others with all of their mistakes, self-perceived and perceived by you. When you have finally fallen in love with yourself, then you can fall in love with others as well as seeing yourself and everyone else as sparks of the one infinite Creator

Understanding Triggers + Emotions
Jan 7 – 2008 – Q’uo
each time you are able to move into a position of greater understanding of your own trigger points and reactions, you have gained part of that fragmented self that has been lost to the shadow side of self. And as you bring it into the light of your own attention, you are able to work with it and to help this feeling to become matured and ripened and begin to have more and more of a clarity and a purity.

You are, in other words, refining the rough surface emotion so that it may penetrate deeper and deeper through the layers of enculturation, previous assumptions and all of the various layers of your surface mind and the gifts that you have been given by your culture, your parents, and your teachers. Generally speaking, personal truth does not lie in the culture, the parents, or the teachers and what they have to say. For the most part, the seeker must discover his own truths and make them a personal credo.

Therefore, these emotions, while not often pleasant to experience, have great value. We say this because we wish to encourage the seeker to work with that which he feels, not judging it, not condemning it, and not being indifferent to it, but rather giving it respectful attention, investigating it, and exploring it. Each emotion, given this honor and respect, will reward the seeker with more and more of a sense of surety as to who he is and to why he is here.

In a way, as you work with emotions you are reclaiming and reintegrating your whole self. You may think of your emotions as treasure. The surface emotion tells you where the treasure lies and then you may sit with that emotion and consider how it arose. What was the trigger? What was occurring when you had that response of feeling unworthy or feeling angry?

Sometimes the answer is very clear. At other times the answer is not at all clear and then you must dig as if for buried treasure, sifting through your memory to find other times when you had the same emotion. What were your triggers then? Compare them with what is occurring in the present, and you begin to see a repeating pattern. You begin to make more sense to yourself and you begin to have more knowledge as to how you came to be the entity who is experiencing right now.

This is true of all emotions, positive and negative.

+++++
Interupting The Trigger Process:
Jan 7 – 2008 Q’uo:

skill comes in learning how to interrupt the triggering process. One does not wish to repress the emotion of unworthiness. The skillful seeker will welcome it, as it welcomes all catalyst, and take it into the balancing process, paying attention to it, even emphasizing it, and then asking the self, “What is the dynamic opposite of this emotion?”

In the case of unworthiness, the opposite is worthiness and so, after one has experienced the unworthiness, one awaits its dynamic opposite, still in meditation, and asks for it and invokes it, and worthiness then flows into the consciousness with its own information.

Why is the seeker worthy? Because the seeker is part of all that there is. And all that there is is unconditional love. The worth of the seeker, then, is infinite. There is nothing but worth in the seeker’s true and deep nature.

++
10.14
Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions.
…….
the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

Exercise Two. The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. This is an helpful exercise.

Exercise Three. Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.

Exercise Four. Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. See the Creator.

++
Blockages of the heart = Inability to see universal love:

15.12: The center of heart, or green ray, is the center from which third-density beings may springboard, shall we say, towards infinite intelligence. Blockages in this area may manifest as difficulties in expressing what you may call universal love or compassion

Indifference is not mastering shadow work. Seeing all as the Creator and with eyes of Love is the truer balance
42.5
Balance is not indifference but rather the observer not blinded by any feelings of separation but rather fully imbued with love.
42.2
if there is seen in the being a response, even if it is simply observed, the entity is still using the catalyst for learn/teaching. The end result is that the catalyst is no longer needed. Thus this density is no longer needed. This is not indifference or objectivity but a finely tuned compassion and love which sees all things as love. This seeing elicits no response due to catalytic reactions. Thus the entity is now able to become co-Creator of experiential occurrences. This is the truer balance.

https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/2008/0107

After a long hiatus, the podcast is back! Speaking on the open heart and it’s tendency to make us more sensitive to outside catalyst, as it should. But sometimes this sensitivity makes life more difficult if we are not using this gift/curse of sensitivity to serve.

If we are simply oversensitive to everything and not using this to serve, it forces us to overthink and ruminate on all the horrors and issues of the world. This is catalyst gone awry. When we realign our intentions to serve, focus on our daily lives and what is in front of us in terms of service, the anxieties of this sensitivity start to calm.

Be practical in your service. You aren’t here to save the entire world. Focus on what is within your control or influence and do your best. What more can we do?

-L

Ra:

18.13

Questioner: Thank you. A most important point to my way of thinking.
You mentioned that there were a number of Confederations. Do all serve the Infinite Creator in basically the same way, or do some specialize in some particular types of service?

Ra: I am Ra. All serve the One Creator. There is nothing else to serve, for the Creator is all that there is. It is impossible not to serve the Creator. There are simply various distortions of this service.
As in the Confederation which works with your peoples, each Confederation is a group of specialized individual social memory complexes, each doing that which it expresses to bring into manifestation.

Session 5.2

The second area of learn/teaching is the study/understanding of the body complexes. It is necessary to know your body well. This is a matter of using the mind to examine how the feelings, the biases, what you would call the emotions, affect various portions of the body complex. It shall be necessary to both understand the bodily polarities and to accept them, repeating in a chemical/physical manifestation the work you have done upon the mind bethinking the consciousness.

The body is a creature of the mind’s creation. It has its biases. The biological bias must be first completely understood and then the opposite bias allowed to find full expression in understanding. Again, the process of acceptance of the body as a balanced, as well as polarized, individual may then be accomplished.

It is my opinion that the twin towers falling and being re-erected as one tower is symbolic reference to the times we are living in. That is the ending of this 3rd density experience which offers us the choice of the two paths. Or said in another way, an experience of polarity or duality in which there are two ways to percieve things. One is the left hand path of negative polarization and the other is the right hand path of positive polarization.

The third denisty is also known as The Density of Choice. Since this 3rd density is coming to an end, the times are such that we are moving in to the 4th density where there is no longer that choice of how to serve (polarity). The two towers or two paths of polarity crumbling and being re-erected as one show that there is not much more time to make that choice. Once the third density ends, we will be on one of the two paths or will reincarnate on another 3rd density planet where that choice still exists.

Many movies and events are symbolic of this ending of an age. Whether by coincidence, knowing, or by intuitive perception of the changing tides. Once you are aware of this, you start to see it almost everywhere. Especially from artists and creatives who are more likely to have that intuition that informs.

Most of us are already on one of the two paths whether subconsciously or conscously. This isn’t a time to worry about the changing tides but a time to, if you are on the positive path, work on the lessons of love we are here to learn. Embrace love and the open heart and in the face of all the confusion, lay down that intellect that analyzes every detail and be a creature of love. For what else really matters?
-L

20.24: (Veil of forgetting/confusion in third density)
The mind/body/spirit complex of third density has perhaps one hundred times as intensive a program of catalytic action from which to distill distortions and learn/teachings than any other of the densities. Thus the learn/teachings are most confusing to the mind/body/spirit complex which is, shall we say, inundated by the ocean of experience.

21.9:
The incarnation pattern of the beginning third-density mind/body/spirit complex begins in darkness, for you may think or consider of your density as one of, as you may say, a sleep and a forgetting. This is the only plane of forgetting. It is necessary for the third-density entity to forget so that the mechanisms of confusion or free will may operate upon the newly individuated consciousness complex.

61.9:
This is not a dimension of knowing, even subjectively, due to the lack of overview of cosmic and other inpourings which affect each and every situation which produces catalyst. The subjective acceptance of that which is at the moment and the finding of love within that moment is the greater freedom.

95.24: pitch of light
There is no outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.
However, to the pure, all that is encountered speaks of the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator. The cruelest blow is seen with an ambiance of challenges offered and opportunities to come. Thusly, the great pitch of light is held high above such an one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by light.

It is easy to be convinced that this world is a negative place. This is due to the silent horror many positive seekers experience seeing a world that is confused. Being constantly bombarded with one negative news story after another. It can be easy to become nihilistic and hopeless in the face of so much tragedy.

However, I would suggest this constant focus on negativity is a kind of psychological operation being waged against us to convince us to give up hope and not care. An apathetic population is an easily controlled population. If we can instead focus on our more local community, we may see that love is alive and well. Many positive seekers are out there trying there best to create love in this world and it is a good reason to keep hope alive.

Do not give up my friends. Put down the news that is constantly preaching doom to you. It is ok to be in line with reality but I would suggest reality is larger than doom. So if all you see is doom, try to focus on smaller wins. See the love of family, friends, and your local community. Lift eachother up. Be a good example of love for yourself and others. This is how we take our power back. This is how we change the world. One small choice at a time. I hope you are well.
-L

Quiet Horror:
17.23 Questioner: Can you tell me why the Earth will be fourth-density positive instead of fourth-density negative after the cycle is complete since it seems that there is a greater negative population?

Ra: I am Ra. The Earth seems to be negative. That is due to the quiet, shall we say, horror which is the common distortion which those good or positively oriented entities have towards the occurrences which are of your space/time present. However, those oriented and harvestable in the ways of service to others greatly outnumber those whose orientation towards service to self has become that of harvestable quality.

Faulty Authority, incorrect map, no mistakes – surprises

69.17: we may note the situation wherein an entity gets a road map which is poorly marked and in fact is quite incorrect. The entity sets out to its destination. It wishes only to reach the point of destination but, becoming confused by the faulty authority and not knowing the territory through which it drives, it becomes hopelessly lost.
Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry. This is so in all aspects of the life experience. Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises.

Living in a world filled with social media, it is easy to find yourself comparing your life to others. The issue is that most people tend to only document the best aspects of their life. A nice scroll of all the wonderful aspects of themselves and their vacations and winnings. This can lead us to a distorted perception about what life is about and our self worth.
It is good to remind ourselves that people are only documenting the best aspects of themselves and everyone struggles and suffers. Sometimes the most seemingly happy and wonderful lives are filled with the most tragedy and hardship.

Comparison to these superficial aspects will steal your joy. If we can put down social media more often or atleast fill our feeds with more healthy comparisons, we will find ourselves being more grateful and more joyful. More centered on The Creator and being grateful for the rather abundant lives we live. Don’t compare yourself to influencers and celebrities. We are rich in opportunities to serve as we walk this planet. In service is purpose. In purpose is joy.
-L

HEART OF EVOLUTION OF SPIRIT: UNITY LOVE LIGHT JOY
52.11 Questioner: T
Well, is there then, from the point of view of an individual who wishes to follow the service-to-others path from our present position in third density, is there anything of importance other than disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will?

Ra: I am Ra. This is technique. This is not the heart. Let us examine the heart of evolution.
Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit.
The second-ranking lessons are learn/taught in meditation and in service. At some point the mind/body/spirit complex is so smoothly activated and balanced by these central thoughts or distortions that the techniques you have mentioned become quite significant. However, the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one. Always begin and end in the Creator, not in technique.

SHORTENED LIFE SPAN DUE TO NON-HARMONY /MANIPULATION OF OTHERS

22.5 Questioner: Then can you give me a— Can I assume then that this drastic drop from 700-year life span to one— less than one hundred years in length during this second 25,000-year period was because of an intensification of a… of a condition of lack of service to others? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is in part correct. By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way in many cases to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of non-ownership on an individual or group basis.
Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service towards others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude— each lesson could be rejected in practice.
Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted

GENERAL SUGGESTIONS FOR HEALTH/LONGEVITY:

25.2 Questioner: The second question the instrument requested was: How may I best revitalize myself not only now but in the future?

Ra: I am Ra. This instrument is aware of the basic needs of its constitution, those being meditation, acceptance of limitations, experiences of joy through association with others and with the beauty as of the singing, and the exercising with great contact, whenever possible, with the life forces of second density, especially those of trees; this entity also needing to be aware of the moderate but steady intake of foodstuffs, exercise being suggested at a fairly early portion of the day and at a later portion of the day before the resting.

CATALYST OF PAIN / ITS INTENTION IS TO HAVE THE ENTITY REALIZE IT CONTAINS ALL AND IS FULL OF JOY

34.6 Questioner: Thank you. Can you give me examples of catalytic action to produce learning under each of the following headings from the last session we had… Can you give me an example of the self unmanifested producing learning catalyst?

Ra: I am Ra. We observed your interest in the catalyst of pain. This experience is most common among your entities. The pain may be of the physical complex. More often it is of the mental and emotional complex. In some few cases the pain is spiritual in complex-nature. This creates a potential for learning. The lessons to be learned vary. Almost always these lessons include patience, tolerance, and the ability for the light touch.
Very often the catalyst for emotional pain, whether it be the death of the physical complex of one other-self which is loved or some other seeming loss, will simply result in the opposite, in a bitterness, an impatience, a souring. This is catalyst which has gone awry. In these cases, then, there will be additional catalyst provided to offer the unmanifested self further opportunities for discovering the self as all-sufficient Creator containing all that there is and full of joy.
