Dear Family,
Continuing my learning. (It seems that 4th density thoughts are new to me, but with the help of the hand here I am going little by little.) In the previous blog I began to perceive the nature of the first distortion, which we call Free Will. And I think I have understood the importance and necessity of selecting, in 3rd density, the ‘type’ of service we want to ‘provide’ in future densities.
Let’s recall that the previous Blog was inspired by my reading of Exercise #133 of the Course. As I moved forward and reached #144 I had to go through. again, Lesson #127 which made me see that I was wrong in the perception of believing that what I was selecting was ‘the kind of love’. I thought I could love in different ways, but this lesson takes me out of my mistake. I quote,
Lesson 127
There is no love but God’s.
1. Perhaps you think that different kinds of love are possible. ²Perhaps you think there is a kind of love for this, a kind for that; a way of loving one, another way of loving still another. ³Love is one. ⁴It has no separate parts and no degrees; no kinds nor levels, no divergencies and no distinctions. ⁵It is like itself, unchanged throughout. ⁶It never alters with a person or a circumstance. ⁷It is the Heart of God, and also of His Son.
2. Love’s meaning is obscure to anyone who thinks that love can change. ²He does not see that changing love must be impossible. ³And thus he thinks that he can love at times, and hate at other times. ⁴He also thinks that love can be bestowed on one, and yet remain itself although it is withheld from others. ⁵To believe these things of love is not to understand it. ⁶If it could make such distinctions, it would have to judge between the righteous and the sinner, and perceive the Son of God in separate parts.
I had already studied this lesson 3 or 4 times and had to accept it under the category of Faith. This time I tried to scrutinize the Law regarding Love and found Session 27 and in a new reading of it I found this:
27.13Questioner
Is Love… is there a manifestation of Love that we could call vibration?
Ra
I am Ra. Again we reach semantic difficulties. The vibration, or density, of love, or understanding, is not a term used in the same sense as the Second Distortion, Love; the distortion Love being the great activator and primal co-Creator of various creations using intelligent infinity; the vibration love being that density in which those who have learned to do an activity called “loving” without significant distortion, then seek the Ways of Light or Wisdom.
From < https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/27>
Clearly here it is revealed to us, what until now was only Faith (at least for me). We have to differentiate between Love (the second distortion, the strength that transforms the infinite energy and emanates from God). and love, an ‘activity that is learned’ to eventually lead us to the light of wisdom.
Lesson 127 obviously refers to Love. And the choice we have to make between ‘service to self’ and ‘service to others’ has nothing to do with Love, since this is only one, and this also explains why God accepts the ‘graduation’ of both types of service because they both fulfill both distortions. What we truly select is whether we accept that we are all Son of God, with equal rights, or not.
This fifth reading of session 27 has opened my eyes to other important revelations, and I want to comment on it in detail. My comments are based on the original English tape, but I’ll be sure to check that the translation is consistent.
This session corresponds to the initiation of Book II and as the Questioner himself tells us he will concentrate on the metaphysical aspect of the teachings of Ra. However, although it begins with two questions still referring to the historical emphasis of the first book, the answers obtained arouse deep introspections in me that now with my 4th epiphany I will not hesitate to explore. The answer to question 27.2 speaks of
“the intelligent infinity present in the absorption of livingness and beingness as it becomes codified into intelligent energy due to the thought impressions of those assisting the living stone into a new shape of beingness”
From < https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/27>
la infinidad inteligente presente en la absorción de la vivencia y la existencia cuando se codifica en energía inteligente debido a las impresiones del pensamiento de aquellos que ayudan a la piedra viviente a adquirir una nueva forma de existencia.
I have taken the liberty of quoting verbatim part of Ra’s answer, both in its original in English, as well as the Spanish translation given by the same source. My goal, for now, is to demonstrate how easily fake news can be generated, in good faith.
(I say for now because I’ll try to come back to these same questions and answers later, to highlight their importance.)
Let’s firstly note that Ra makes a distinction between ‘livingness’ and ‘beingness’ and secondly that this has been translated as ‘vivencia’ and ‘existencia’. The point may seem very minor and unimportant. However, it is the revelation of “semantic difficulties” contained in the answer to question 27.13, already quoted above, that is the ‘coincidence’ that has made me meditate long and deeply.
The first has to do with the very concept of “beingness”. For some time now I have meditated on Shakespeare’s famous dilemma in his Hamlet: To be or not to be?.
My linguistic knowledge is very limited, but in my attempts to be a translator of ideas I have come to the conclusion that the perplexity for the answer arises because “be” does not distinguish between the temporal and the eternal. This does not happen in our language (nor in Latin, but it does happen in French, German, Greek and I think in Hebrew and Aramaic). For us, Be can be translated as Being (eternal) or staying (temporary).
So, as in Love and love, we must distinguish between Be and be. And the question To Be or not to Be? it does not make sense because what Is it cannot stop Being and the only translation must be To stay or not to stay? Or other synonyms frequently used such as to exist and to live itself, when they are also of a temporal nature. In Hamlet, which contemplates the possibility of suicide, the question means to stay alive or not to stay alive? But Shakespeare, who is now revealed to us as the great metaphysical writer of his time, takes advantage of the play on words to pose the great existential question.
The big implication of all this is that you can make changes to beingness (in the sense of staying, living, existing) but those changes shall not affect Beingness, always eternal. This is easier to evidence in Spanish (or Latin) than in other languages. It is not the same “I think then I Am” than “I think then I am (or live, or exist)”. A crazy idea jumps at me: For the former it is indispensable tu use the Mind (Divine), while the brain is enough for the later.
And while we’re on this matter of semantics and Session 27, let’s stop at this exchange:
27.4Questioner
Would you define the word intelligent in the concept of intelligent infinity?
I am Ra. We shall address the entire spectrum of this question before defining as requested. Your language, using vibrational sound complexes, can be at best an approximation of that which is closer to an understanding, if you will, of the nature of conscious thought. Perceptions are not the same as sound vibration complexes, and the attempt to define will therefore be a frustrating one for you, although we are happy to aid you within the limits of your sound vibration complexes.
To define intelligent apart from infinity is difficult, for these two vibration complexes equal one concept. It is much like attempting to divide your sound vibration concept, faith, into two parts. We shall attempt to aid you, however.
From < https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/27>
I can perceive here the origin of the ‘problems of semantics’: the limitation of our word-based language to ‘translate’ conscious thought. Notice that Ra refers to vibrational complexes of sound and how now two words are needed to complete a concept. The concept of Faith only needs one and he calls it sound vibration. (Without ‘complex’).
I can think (thanks to my Free Will), that there is an ‘original language’ where each sound (vibration) corresponds to a concept. Perhaps this is what the Bible (Genesis) refers to when it tells us “in the beginning was the Word.” And this would also justify the Hebrew fundamentalisms that jealously guard that no word in its Torah be changed. (The Hebrew language is basically guttural, with a tendency for each sound (word) to correspond to a concept.)
But ‘in the beginning’ everything was simpler and with experimentation came complexity. Ra emphasizes that before the Veil our speciesi s referred to as mind/body/spirit (simply), but for the Great Experiment there was a need to modify it and from then on we are the mind/body/spirit complex . Continuing with my ‘flying mind’, is this the cause of the Tower of Babel? And of the loss of language to communicate with the infinite intelligence of the stone? (This may be the answer to the ‘miracle’ of the construction of pyramids and other megalithic monuments.)
Returning to the two initial questions in Session 27. Both inquire about Mr. Paul Shockley and his experiences in previous lives. (That is why I consider them of a historical type). The first question and answer reveal that indeed Mr. Shockley participated 13,000 years ago in the construction of pyramids in Atlantis and 1000 years later as Priest and Teacher, he contributed to raising awareness among the people of Egypt to make the call that eventually led to the visit of Ra and his combo to those lands.
Although historic, this is still a breaking news. Long before Egypt and its famous pyramids, this type of construction proliferated in Atlantis and we will probably have the opportunity to find other citations in the Law in this regard. (Don’t be surprised when archaeological evidence begins to appear).
This for the historical portion, noting that Mr Shockley, whom I have never read, passed away in 2006, and in his at least third existence was a Channeler of someone known as ‘Cosmic Awareness’. (It sounds like a similarity with Ra). But it is the second question and answer that abound in unsuspected metaphysical perceptions, in addition to those already analyzed. Let’s look at the full texts: (this time in only one language and the ideas that I consider to be the main ones, have been underlined)
27.2Questioner
The second question is: Paul has also received information that mentions that there were other beings aiding in the construction of the pyramids who were not fully materialized in the third density. They were materialized from the waist up to their heads, but were not materialized from the waist down to their feet. Did such entities exist in the construction of the pyramids, and who were they?
Ra
I am Ra. Consider, if you will, the intelligent infinity present in the absorption of livingness and beingness as it becomes codified into intelligent energy due to the thought impressions of those assisting the living stone into a new shape of beingness. The release and use of intelligent infinity for a brief period begins to absorb all the consecutive, or interlocking, dimensions, thus offering brief glimpses of those projecting to the material their thought. These beings thus beginning to materialize but not remaining visible. These beings were the thought-form, or third-density-visible, manifestation of our social memory complex as we offered contact from our intelligent infinity to the intelligent infinity of the stone.
From <https://www.llresearch.org/channeling/ra-contact/27>
As for the question, I only wonder in turn, if the visualizations of the ‘genius’ of the stories of Aladdin and his lamp come from here?. And as for the answer, the perceptions are multiple (in addition to the one that took me to Be/be):
The word ‘code’ flashes in my mind. Is this how potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy? Is there a metaphysical quantum computer whose program is activated by the ‘typing’ of thought impressions?
Inert matter (stone) is a (eternal) being that can have various forms of (temporary) existence. Here I perceive an evolution from non-form to geometric figure. Is there a way (figure or path) for the transmission of energy? How does this also apply to thought and biological matter?
And the main one: what is it and how is it achieved, to contact intelligent infinities?
Again, many more questions than answers. But I can glimpse a route. In this fifth reading I have finally learned the importance of questions. Without them there would be practically no revelations, given the limitations that Ra (and others that “know”) has to avoid unduly influencing our free will. And the method that Dr Elkins uses, very intelligently, is to ‘devise’ questions and ask for answers, which in many cases are reduced to a ‘correct’. So if we only focus on Ra (as I did in my first two readings) we will miss half or more of the action. (My admiration for the Interrogator has increased exponentially.)
This technique of ‘devising’ scenarios and asking questions (what if?) forces us to develop analytical thoughts and find answers. And these I may find in my new readings of the Law, or the Course, or the Mind of God (which is within me, and you), or the hand that guides us. I’ll try to use it more often. I promise to communicate the answers I can find. And if you are the one who has or finds them, it would be an immense gift if you let us know, even if they are corrections of errors that I may have fallen into, such as confusing Love with love, in my previous Blog.
This same Session 27 provides us with many clarifications and that is why I am commenting on it in detail. But given the length, I’m going to have to continue in the next Blog. Of course, anyone who wants to, can do it on their own; for that the hand has guided me to provide easy access to my sources. If at first you feel lost, do not be discouraged, constancy and a humble request for help to the Holy Spirit (or to the hand) works “miracles”.
Now with more confidence than before, I can repeat and clarify,
I Love you,
Alberto
PS. The introduction of Gaia continues to be postponed, but as we will see there are powerful reasons.
