Law of One music (open project)

[Raz]

So I’m working on another passion project and I’m hoping some fellow forum members would find joy in being part of it on some level.

I’m fairly familiar with the Ra materials, while far from an expert, so any feedback from the community would be very much appreciated,

are the lyrics compatible with the material as you know it?
any details that feels off the mark or in need of tweaking?
any elements that feels left out in context of the song’s focus?
any suggestions for a few lines to add as an intro?

The lyrics are as follows and the floor is open

Preliminary Tile:
Paths of Light and Shadow

[intro]
?

[Verse 1 – The Crossroads]
Two roads wind through the endless sky,
One holds the weight of “me” and “mine.”
The other sings with hands held wide,
A voice that whispers, “yours and mine.”

[Pre-Chorus – The Choice]
Oh, the stars, they wait in silence,
Watching how the heart decides.
Will I claim or will I offer?
Will I darken or will I rise?

[Chorus – The Calling]
If love is light, then let it guide me,
Through the veil and through the storm.
If power calls, will I be blinded?
Or break the chains
and become reborn

[Verse 2 – The STS Path]
A tower stands with walls so high,
Built from hunger, built from pride.
A voice inside says, “Take, ascend,
Rule the weak, make fate bend.”

[Pre-Chorus – The Cost]
But the stars, they wait in silence,
Watching how souls divide,
One hand grasping, one hand open,
One heart lost and one alive.

[Chorus – The Calling, Reprise]
If love is light, then let it guide me,
Through the veil and through the storm.
If power calls, will I be blinded?
Or break the chains
and become reborn

[Bridge – The STO Path]
To serve the One is to serve the all,
To hear the voice behind the wall.
I step beyond myself and see,
That all I give returns to me.

[Outro – The Realization]
Two roads wind through the endless sky,
But only one will lead me high.
Not by taking, not alone—
Love in give and receive
is the practice of no-condone

[Kenturi]

@Raz

To serve the One is to serve the all,

I believe that is service to the self. It was meant that by serving yourself you serve all entities / the creator.

@Raz

Will I claim or will I offer?

I believe this is wrong, service for the self also offers, just for the interest of the self to get something back. Service to others offer with no expectation in return. Also, for the balance you have to claim something also in the service to others, because of the nature of red, orange, yellow energy centers.

@Raz

Will I darken or will I rise?

I believe that service to self also rise, on individual level top/elite level it rises even more than service to others individuals.

@Raz

Or break the chains

Debatable if service to self have chains, power makes you free if you enjoy things which it gives, if you don’t enjoy, then power hinders your freedom, becoming kind of duty/honor.

@Raz

But only one will lead me high.

I believe this is wrong, if this is talking about being the service to others the high leading path. Why would advanced (more than forum members ) negative entities still go that path even it does not lead so high?

@Raz

A voice that whispers, “yours and mine.”

I believe that is orange ray, by saying I am yours basically you giving yourself as an asset to other individual. That is not a choice in the path, both negative and positive paths should have this. For example so called mated relationship.

@Raz

That all I give returns to me.

I believe, that service to self thought, you give with intention of getting something in return.

[Raz]

Thank you for your input Kenturi, I found it very interesting

@Kenturi

@Raz

To serve the One is to serve the all,

I believe that is service to the self. It was meant that by serving yourself you serve all entities / the creator.

So if that’s a STS statement,
How would a STO statement be?

@Kenturi

@Raz

Also, for the balance you have to claim something also in the service to others, because of the nature of red, orange, yellow energy centers.

Can you distill that into a statement?

@Kenturi

@Raz

Will I darken or will I rise?

I believe that service to self also rise, on individual level top/elite level it rises even more than service to others individuals.

True, but it´s a different kind of rise, a rather lonely one, and it’s based on limitation, not boundlessness. Still, it´s worth considering tweaking.

@Kenturi

@Raz

Or break the chains

Debatable if service to self have chains, power makes you free if you enjoy things which it gives, if you don’t enjoy, then power hinders your freedom, becoming kind of duty/honor.

Agreed (that it’s debatable), I feel like it comes down to loneliness here as well, treating others as unequal’s might seem beneficial on the surface, while it isolates you at the same time.

@Kenturi

@Raz

But only one will lead me high.

I believe this is wrong, if this is talking about being the service to others the high leading path. Why would advanced (more than forum members ) negative entities still go that path even it does not lead so high?

Both paths can lead high from a human perspective, while I believe that spiritually only STO truly leads into the “higher” realms. Grounded in STS is just no compatible after a certain degree of frequency. At least that’s loosely my theory.

@Kenturi

@Raz

A voice that whispers, “yours and mine.”

I believe that is orange ray, by saying I am yours basically you giving yourself as an asset to other individual. That is not a choice in the path, both negative and positive paths should have this. For example so called mated relationship.

Do you have a suggestion for a statement to replace this?

@Kenturi

@Raz

That all I give returns to me.

I believe, that service to self thought, you give with intention of getting something in return.

Do you have a suggestion of how I can ground that statement in STO?

[Raz]

on a side note, could one say that STS generally operates under a win/loose model and STO operates under a win/win model?

[flofrog]

I love it all Raz…

[Kenturi]

@Raz

How would a STO statement be?

I don’t remember any citation, but you serve all anyway. Then, maybe … to serve others is to serve the creator (one, if speaking about the creator).

@Raz

Can you distill that into a statement?

Will you offer without hoping something in return.

@Raz

treating others as unequal’s might seem beneficial on the surface, while it isolates you at the same time.

I think it is not about treating others as “unequal’s” is the negative path, the way I understand this.

The negative path should manipulate others and make them think they are equal and praiseworthy, when they are actually not. Consider such examples, Donald Trump praise left and right people as beautiful, great people if those people seem to be in his interest, Vladimir Putin calling lower rank or common people in a meeting as “colleagues”, which signify more or less equal rank, when he is an unofficial dictator, in my opinion.

Also, it is not about “isolation”, I believe. Those of power seem to be very social, like politicians and big business owners. The only isolation they have is that the relationships they have seem not to be based on trust, mutual interest and are kind of alliances. Still, it is interesting to listen to both Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin thoughts and probably communicate with them.

@Raz

I believe that spiritually only STO truly leads into the “higher” realms.

If I remember correctly, it is that without the green ray it is harder to achieve the brow (forgot the color ) and need thick accumulation in the yellow ray.

@Raz

Do you have a suggestion for a statement to replace this?

together as one, one for all and all for one

@Raz

Do you have a suggestion of how I can ground that statement in STO?

hardly, but you do that because wish others well

[Raz]

Based on the discussion here and in this thread , I have composed a new lyrics draft, does this feel like it’s in the spirit of the Ra materials?

Preliminary Titel: Lift Us Higher

[Intro]
Lifting up myself
by lifting up others
a win-win mentality,
why have another?

[Verse 1]
I was searching for a spark inside,
Felt like the weight
was too heavy to hide.
But then I saw you,
standing alone,
And I knew we both
could find our way home.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I reached out,
gave what I could,
A little light, a little good.
And in your smile
I saw my own,
Like a mirror,
we both had grown.

[Chorus]
By lifting you, I lift myself,
We rise together,
not by stealth.
The higher we go,
the brighter we shine,
Your strength is yours,
but it fuels mine.

[Verse 2]
I was told to climb alone,
To chase the dream
on my own.
But what’s the point
of standing tall,
While others stumble,
while others fall?

[Pre-Chorus]
So I reached out,
gave what I could,
A little light, a little good.
And in your joy, I felt my own,
Like a fire,
the warmth was shown.

[Chorus]
By lifting you, I lift myself,
We rise together,
not by stealth.
The higher we go,
the brighter we shine,
Your strength is yours,
but it fuels mine.

[Bridge]
It’s not a race, it’s not a fight,
We’re meant to rise, in mutual delight.
Love is a force of kindness,
in its embodiment
we become its likeness

[Chorus – Repeat & Build]
By lifting you, I lift myself,
We rise together, not by stealth.
Every hand that holds another,
Lifts a sister, lifts a brother.
The higher we go, the brighter we shine,
Your strength is yours, but it fuels mine.

[Outro]
So if you’re lost, don’t lose your way,
Lift someone up and you’ll be okay.
Together we rise, together we climb,
Hand in hand, one step at a time.

[flofrog]

Raz, I think it’s lovely….

[Raz]

Thank you Flo,
I have started experimenting with the style of delivery and it feels promising

[Raz]

Work complete

It will be available on the 27th

[flofrog]

@Raz

I have started experimenting with the style of delivery and it feels promising

You know what I love Raz, is that the words in the lyrics are deceptively simple and yet illustrate exactly what Ra says in his first session…

[Raz]

Thank you so much for confirming that the lyrics are compatible with the material!

a pretty cool synchronicity that it reflects the first session as my familiarity with the material comes from the forum environment (old and new), for some reason I have been content with quotes and discussions and have not felt drwan to study the material A to B, so to say.

do you (or anyone else) have any suggestions for another song that is aligned with the material? A direction, concept or statement I can work with?

[flofrog]

The fact we create our own reality ? We are like intense creative machines ?

The fact that the whole world is inside us ?

[Raz]

Lol, i went in with the intention of focusing on creativity, then the song got a mind of it’s own and will be posted in the idea of liquid living thread on the 3rd of April,

The title is: Liquid infinity
apart from that, no spoilers

[flofrog]

Hah !! Creativity wins the day as always !!! lol

Lift us Higher, is available now

@Raz

Your strength is yours,
but it fuels mine.

That’s a great line. I’ve been spending time with Emily Dickinson lately and it reminded me of this poem. She’s going to the extreme, talking about the martyrs of a religious faith, but there is a truth to the strength we gain when bearing witness to another’s strength.

Read—Sweet—how others—strove—
Till we—are stouter—
What they—renounced—
Till we—are less afraid—
How many times they—bore the faithful witness—
Till we—are helped—
As if a Kingdom—cared!

It’s been a while since I’ve been on the forum. Nice to see you’re still keeping the creative fires buring.

[Raz]

Hey Melissa!

Good to hear from you, your absence didn’t go unnoticed, while part of the beauty of a forum environment like this, is how everyone can participate on their own level while coming and going as they please

The part you highlighted holds the rest of the song together for me, It’s funny how small details can bring so much to the table.

I have not explored the work of Emily Dickinson, while the name rings a bell, and your quote did spark my interest

on a side note, the release of Liquid infinity (now called Liquid Living) has been postponed, should not be to far in the future though,

[MelissaMiller]

She’s a 19th century American poet. Idiosyncratic and Scorpionic. I get the sense when reading her poems that she felt it all deeply and her poetry was a way of knowing herself and processing her felt experiences. She had a recurring motif of keeping the “door ajar”. Another way of saying keep the heart open, perhaps–to bring it back to “strictly law of one” territory. I may have pulled this post from it’s intended path:) Anyway, I appreciate her strange ways.

At the risk of wandering further off the path, I have a creative process question for you. Do you use AI to create your songs? If so, at any point in the process does the music come through your body, ie. your voice or playing an instrument. We are all so different, I’m just curious if that’s the case and what that feels like for you. I’m a visual artist and have always needed to feel the clay in my hands or hold the pencil or brush. I have not been able to easily connect to the flow when creating in a digital space.
