Session 4.14. Life equal your work

Strictly Law of One
1

Probably one of the Law of One pieces of insight and advice that I have the most trouble with. How is everyone else doing on this if they are in fact trying to apply it?:

Questioner: [Aside: Jim, did you understand?] I’m a little confused. I partially understood you; I’m not sure that I fully understood you. Could you restate that in another way?

Ra: I can restate that in many ways, given this instrument’s knowledge of your vibratory sound complexes. I will strive for a shorter distortion at this time.

Two kinds there are who can heal: those such as yourself who, having the innate distortion towards knowledge-giving of the Law of One, can heal but do not; and those who, having the same knowledge, but showing no significant distortion consciously towards the Law of One in mind, body, or spirit, yet and nevertheless have opened a channel to the same ability.

The point being that there are those who, without proper training, shall we say, nevertheless, heal. It is a further item of interest that those whose life does not equal their work may find some difficulty in absorbing the energy of intelligent infinity and thus become quite distorted in such a way as to cause disharmony in themselves and others and perhaps even find it necessary to cease the healing activity. Therefore, those of the first type, those who seek to serve and are willing to be trained in thought, word, and action are those who will be able to comfortably maintain the distortion towards service in the area of healing.

The statement does seem to apply even outside of a strictly healing capacity. Like, it applies to all cases of life and work I think.

For me this is kind of difficult for a few reasons. A) Because I’m not 100% sure what ‘work’ is in this context. While it could be “wage work”. I also do things such as music and various other things in these areas that might be work from this perspective. Music definitely feels like it is some kind of work. But I also do wage work kind of stuff. Not working currently and that’s partly due to illness but am training and applying for jobs etc.

This paragraph does seem to apply to music in that sometimes I am not able to come up with new music because nothing is going on in my life. Like, lyrics and whatnot. Since you tend to need a muse in music. The last really good song I probably wrote was when a good friend of mine topped herself. I also think this deflation that I get from not having a life probably feeds into most areas that could be described as ‘work’ but there’s not much I can do about that.

What did Don do as his life? Does anyone know? Was he successful in balancing both or was this likely one of the many areas of non balance for him?

B) The second reason is because I don’t have a life. Perhaps those two things do match like not doing much work and not having much of a life? But it’s like, if I do a bunch of work stuff i won’t be able to blow off steam in the traditional ways. I have no friends etc. Don’t see most of my family. I suppose I can walk the dog and go on youtube videos, but is that the same thing as having a life?

A lot of people seem to have chosen to just work all the time for long periods of time, and don’t seem to have a life but, I don’t see a lot of drawback to that. If my health allows it in future this seems like the only option for me to get things going most likely. In that, I do like the courses and stuff I do, and can do extra in order to gain skills in that area.

How is everyone else doing with this? Are they aware of this line and if so what has been your success rate in general in trying to apply it?

From what I understand, “work” is used in a spiritual context. It pertains to a process of healing that encompasses opening and aligning all energy centers, removing blockages, and ensuring the flow of intelligent energy remains untainted by distortion from the individual seeking to heal themselves or others. In this framework, the self and the other self are interconnected. Such spiritual healing has the potential to impact physical well-being as well.

Each of us carries a theme or multiple themes for our incarnation, as well as certain talents or abilities. Q’uo suggests turning inward to your higher self—an aspect often felt as a deep intuition or ‘gut feeling.’ This inner connection can reveal what truly resonates with you on a profound level and what reflects your true nature. This method is just one path among many to uncovering the truth about yourself and aligning with your higher self.

If you have already discovered your true calling, embrace it with courage and treat financial concerns as secondary. The current financial and social systems are in a state of flux and transformation anyway and are approaching a reset. Of course, you should pay attention to your situation. Sometimes you have to go to a crummy job to support yourself, and what you really want to do, you can do after hours. I have gone through this in my life more than once, but I was always going to come out of it in a slightly better position, so it can be approached optimistically.

The question is what the Creator has written down for you. Maybe something optimal for your spiritual development is to be alone at the moment. For the Creator, every form of service is important, every kind of experience we experience is important. You see, you have already done a lot of work even with this post on the forum. You’ve thought some things through, you’ve written it, you’ve come into contact with others. All this and other things you have done just at the particular time you are in.

Yes, I looked into briefly from a Quo session a mythology called ‘Christian Science’, that came from a female channel that stated that the entire point of Christianity is healing. I have realised that many different sources, all seem to point in the same direction, towards doing the same “thing” and want to put that in a video. But it will be a harder video than my other ones and I have not gotten round to it.

But the point of music as ‘work’ for me seems to be relevant is that music is something that palpably changes me. If I make a song it changes me from before until after it is written. It gives a lot of almost magical seeming benefits. It also effects others in an emotional way. It sometimes even lifts things that are pretty solid in me. Like not understanding a social interaction, then going and playing music and it just clicking why a person responded to it the way they did. I remember I had pissed off a bar girl and I walked away from the interaction disliking her a great deal then went down the beach to play music and while I was playing it clicked like “Oh, of course she would see the situation x way.”

It was not the precise question I asked though. Although I appreciate the comment on my output and that might have been what you instinctively wanted to write. Have you reflected on this passage and applied it in your life?

Music can be related to spiritual development, and this can be a great kind of service to others. If music bears fruit in your life, there is nothing else to do but go for it. It’s worth asking yourself, “What would I do if there was no money needed in life and I didn’t have to worry about it?” If, for you, it is to play, then this might be what you should take up completely.

But if you need, you may find the ways to monetize your skills, if you look for all the opportunities. Whether by teaching or playing for someone, or creating something completely your own, you will find that you will make a good living at it too and stop worrying about the job.

What if your destiny that awaits you is to create a special record—a unique composition born from your subconscious—magical and seriously working deep music that could open the hearts of others and elevate positive vibrations of others?

When it comes to my writing, especially in places like this, I always aim to create something that resonates with me personally. What I write must be connected to my experiences, feel plausible to me, or reflect what I believe to be true or close to true. In everything I write, I share words that embody my knowledge, and in doing so, I reveal a part of myself.

By the way, just as you play an instrument, my talent is writing, though mostly in my native language. I’ve worked on various writing projects, including one I’m currently involved in, and I have plans for more. Writing here, albeit in English, is also a kind of “project”. I have undertaken to support this forum while developing myself and getting to know what is here available. It is part of a bigger picture for me and my development.

Yes, writers are their own breed. What I was trying to get at though with the work and life thing is not something you have thought about before is it? That’s fine just voicing my conclusion there.

I get what you are saying about supporting the forum it is not the hive of people invested in the Law of One material I was expecting.

Not sure about music and monetisation. Maybe it will go that way, but there is nothing in my life that has indicated life will go that way. But so long as I practice every day, I am far happier and ‘saner’. I pray frequently and do my best in life so if it is my best route I am hopeful I will make it work.

I’m also doing a bunch of stuff that might lead into a certain direction. So there is my youtube and blog output on matters related to a complex astrology chart that I believe came from the Law of One contact. There is dream interpretation, paying attention to a philosopher, and the general forming of philosophical ideas, and reflections from that in how to actually live life. My dream interpretation at the moment, the way I am interpretating to retain the information, is to interpret a months worth and how the dreams connect and then form the eventual interpretation in written format whereby a lot of the output has no link to mysticism at all, but is a logical progression and insights. (So book form!)

Then I also have potentially traditional work. I do believe that a lot of people are meant to be working. Perhaps globalism has changed this from work into “exploitation” in a lot of cases but I think, before having been perverted, it is still an important thing. The world we have, with all it’s sewers, fire trucks, buildings and civilisation, with the computers we are currently typing on, was all the result of people working.

Like, even though offices are in general places of exploitation and hostility. It might be possible to have moments of positivity and productivity there.

Questioner: What is the greatest service that our population on this planet could perform individually?

Ra: I am Ra. There is but one service. The Law is One. The offering of self to Creator is the greatest service, the unity, the fountainhead. The entity who seeks the One Creator is with infinite intelligence. From this seeking, from this offering, a great multiplicity of opportunities will evolve depending upon the mind/body/spirit complexes’ distortions with regard to the various illusory aspects or energy centers of the various complexes of your illusion.

Thus, some become healers, some workers, some teachers, and so forth.

Best Wishes,

Before that, I never expected that I could also go in a professional direction with this. I treated it purely as part of my own work, as an interest.

Oh, yes. The material has gone very far. For many, I suspect it is beyond comprehension. It is worth to know this project from the beginning. Few are those who have consistently progressed to remain here. And for complete newcomers, it is a big leap if the context is built on work that has been around for half a century.

Great!

Work is necessary; that is important. What’s not fair is certainly the unfair distribution of wealth. I have heard such rumors that the US government is not pleased with the development of the world situation, BRICS, and the like. Instead of waiting for what’s coming, which is America’s slow social and economic moribund, they want to bankrupt the world in a controlling way, and this will lead to chaos. Subsequently, it’s probably an entirely different system when it comes to earning and redistributing basic resources. The good news is that through all their combinations that hit others, they will eventually sort themselves out and let other, more normal governments come in.

Best to you; keep it up!

This might be helpful. At that time, Ra was making a point about the efficacy of healing, not about employment or music.

As I read it, the point was this. Although some people find they have a natural facility for healing, if their heart is not fully in it, if they are just dabbling, then the results are less desirable.

Coincidentally, you do find this in music from time time where someone has an unusually beautiful voice or remarkable ease at the keyboard, but they have no intention of digging within themselves to find deeper and deeper expressions of beauty and love. In this way, the life and the work are not well matched.

It reminds me of Mario Lanza turning to a life in pop music instead of opera. What a waste of beauty and talent. But the money was much better that way.

At that time, Ra was making a point about the efficacy of healing, not about employment or music.

For this statement to be true, two other statements would have to be reliably true within the Law of One material. Firstly and most importantly, the contact would not have ever been in discussion about one subject and then added in additional generalisations about life in general.

Secondly, when the statement work was used, it would not be used in any context other than that in regard to healing.

Does this seem reasonable?

So to begin with, in my understanding Ra often used metaphors that were generalisations about the world which did not specifically answer the question:

Questioner: We have been ending our banishing ritual prior to the session here by a gesture that relieves us of the magical personality. I was just wondering if we should omit that gesture so as to maintain the magical personality while performing the Circle of One and then only relinquish the magical personality either after that has formed or after the session? Which would be more appropriate?

Ra: I am Ra. The practice of magical workings demands the most rigorous honesty. If your estimate of your ability is that you can sustain the magical personality throughout this working, it is well. As long as you have some doubt it is inadvisable. In any case it is appropriate for this instrument to return its magical personality rather than carry this persona into the trance state, for it does not have the requisite magical skill to function in this circumstance and would be far more vulnerable than if the waking personality is offered as channel. This working is indeed magical in nature in the basic sense. However, it is inappropriate to move more quickly than one’s feet may walk.

Note in this next one Ra goes on a massive speech that was almost disconnected from the question:

Questioner: Possibly I didn’t phrase that the way I meant to, which was: we already have determined the items that should be removed from the first four cards. The question was: have I missed anything that should be removed which were not of Ra’s original intention in the last few sessions of determining what should be removed?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat our opinion that there are several concepts which, in each image, are astrologically based. However, these concepts are not without merit within the concept complex intended by Ra, given the perception by the student of these concepts in an appropriate manner.

We wish not to form that which may be considered by any mind/body/spirit complex to be a complete and infallible series of images. There is a substantial point to be made in this regard. We have been, with the questioner’s aid, investigating the concept complexes of the great architecture of the archetypical mind. To more clearly grasp the nature, the process, and the purpose of archetypes, Ra provided a series of concept complexes. In no way whatsoever should we, as humble messengers of the One Infinite Creator, wish to place before the consideration of any mind/body/spirit complex which seeks its evolution the palest tint of the idea that these images are anything but a resource for working in the area of the development of the faith and the will.

To put this into perspective we must gaze then at the stunning mystery of the One Infinite Creator. The archetypical mind does not resolve any paradox or bring all into unity. This is not the property of any resource which is of the third density. Therefore, may we ask the student to look up from inward working and behold the glory, the might, the majesty, the mystery, and the peace of oneness. Let no consideration of bird or beast, darkness or light, shape or shadow keep any which seeks from the central consideration of unity.

We are not messengers of the complex. We bring the message of unity. In this perspective only may we affirm the value to the seeker of adepthood of the grasping, articulating, and use of this resource of the deep mind exemplified by the concept complexes of the archetypes.

Then the concept of “work”. I realised when searching lawofone.info for the term “work” that the Law of One contact almost never used the phrase when referring to wage slave kind of work and was almost exclusively used for psychological insight and such. I think I got the idea of work in the traditional sense as virtuous from another source:

Questioner: Now, the disciplines of the personality I see as the paramount work of any who have become consciously aware of the process of evolution. Am I correct on that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Quite.

The term ‘work’ used in reference to the Law of One sessions themselves. So not in relation to healing:

Questioner: Have I missed anything now that we can do at all to aid the instrument during, before, or after a session or at any time?

Ra: I am Ra. The love and devotion of this group misses nothing. Be at peace. There is some toll for this work. This instrument embraces this or we could not speak. Rest then in that peace and love and do as you will, as you wish, as you feel. Let there be an end to worry when this is accomplished. The great healer of distortions is love.

This is an interesting one:

Questioner: This is a hard question just to ask, but what is the function or what is the value experientially of the formation of positive and negative social memory complexes, of the separation of the polarities at that point rather than the allowing for the mixing of mind/body/spirit complexes of opposite polarity at the higher densities?

Ra: I am Ra. The purpose of polarity is to develop the potential to do work. This is the great characteristic of those, shall we say, experiments which have evolved since the concept of The Choice was appreciated. Work is done far more efficiently and with greater purity, intensity, and variety by the voluntary searching of mind/body/spirit complexes for the lessons of third and fourth densities. The action of fifth density is, viewed in space/time, the same with or without polarity. However, viewed in time/space, the experiences of wisdom are greatly enlarged and deepened due, again, to the voluntary nature of polarized mind/body/spirit action.

Questioner: Thank you. What percentage of the entities, roughly, were— who were in third density here at that time were Martian and what percentage were harvested out of Earth’s second density?

Ra: I am Ra. There were perhaps one-half of the third-density population being entities from the Red Planet, Mars, as you call it. Perhaps one-quarter from second density of your planetary sphere. Approximately one-quarter from other sources, other planetary spheres whose entities chose this planetary sphere for third-density work.

To me, I don’t see a reason to doubt my initial reading of that line which basically states that if someone is doing work, then they also have to have a life outside the work. The specific wording was that those whose life does not equal their work will have difficulty absorbing intelligent energy. Perhaps this is because of a lack of appreciation? Like, if someone is working all day in a holistic area and does not get time to feel happy and kick back perhaps the energies of ‘work’ that change the inner being don’t have the ability to properly manifest. Then the person takes on more “work” and starts getting overwhelmed? This is just a thought.

That’s fine.

To me, you are hopping all around sanctuary and not sitting down to enter into the sacredness. Perhaps if you continue looking into this you will see that the term “doing work” refer to doing work in spirit, using spirit, communing with spirit? This is a learned skill, and through this learning, one is able to slowly use more infinite energy, as they sometimes call it, or intelligent energy.

Another way of looking at your original question is this. For most of us, we’re not born with a recognizable gift for healing, rather, we have to find it. How do we find it? By seeking with all our heart and all our strength. In time, spirit responds in some way and we refine our seeking, then spirit offers more experience and we continue the seeking. In other words, the gifts mature as the will to use them is strengthened.

In that initial passage, Ra’s comment was about someone who didn’t go through that process, but just discovered they had the ability. If their will to serve is not commensurate with or greater than their ability to serve, then the work will not be as focused and pure.

Take @Patrick as an example. If he was capable of running this website without being especially dedicated to the work, the product would likely not be nearly as clean as it is.

I found something expressive of the points I was trying to make. I find it compelling reading.

[August 11, 2009 - Special meditation - L/L Research]

The desire of an entity is like a firefly—it flits here and there, fixing on things small and large and infinite with bewildering speed. The same entity can desire a certain flavor of ice cream, peace on earth for all mankind, and that parking place that just became available, with bewildering speed. And all desires are true and real in their way. It is at those times when one is tabernacling in silence with the infinite One that the firefly of desire lands just for a moment, just for a spell of time, infinitely short and infinitely precious, and comes to rest at a still point that opens up into all of infinity and eternity.

It is from those timeless moments out of time that one can bring back a growing ability to know one’s desires for what they are and can begin to separate the ice cream and the parking place from the hope of peace.

There is a hunger which comes to one who finally understands that he knows nothing; there is a hunger for the presence of the living Creator. It is a hunger that can never be slaked in the world of ten thousand things. It is a precious hunger. It is a hunger more precious that the fullness of all desires being realized in the world. It is a hunger that calls forth devotion, that lives on faith, that knows beyond all knowing, that has awareness with no content.

Thanks for sharing - I was contemplating work
as defined by physics as force times distance;
and now wondering if there’s metaphysical
analogy in time/space. The positive polarity
5D likely has high voltage heart chakra discipline
of personality that negative 5D doesn’t. The
work is more like a stationary resonance in
love-gasm sorts of states. That peculiar vibration,
may likely entail a phi hetrodyne effect that
enhances a sense of universal connection.
The discipline of personality to hold that state
might be distinct from a common misperception
of polyamory or hedonistic pursuits, as if
sincere love is not shallow pleasure.

Wow, I have just seen this and, regardless of the point in relation to this, it is HIGHLY synchronistic. I had an issue with my medical condition that switched my hunger to a far lower setting for two weeks and now I am catching up. But it is EXHAUSTING! I’m like the main character in that Venom film when he first gets the parasite. It’s starting to finally wear off but for about five days I was eating multiple large meals a day with a lot of meat.

I wondered if there was a metaphysical aspect of this as well, I did seem to be praying more in this time and such, feels like something slightly beyond my understanding is happening. I often wonder if my medical condition is cover for all the spiritual things that happen to me. Like it was planned that way. Rather than seeming to be lazy as some spiritual set of insights takes hold, I appear ill instead and there are no questions.

Hmm…

Well let’s just start with there is a bit of conversation along the physics paradigm in relation to service in the Law of One:

Questioner: Then the concept of service to self or service to others is mandatory if we wish to have work, whether it be work in consciousness or work in the mechanical or Newtonian concept in the physical. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with one addendum. The coil, as you may understand this term, is wound, is potential, is ready. The thing that is missing without polarizing is the charge.

In my understanding, the 5D when incarnate here has to set up their energy field in an unusual way since, as discussed, the 5D is potentiating not polarising, but this world has a strong relevance to service, so polarising.

Whereas the 6D is using polarity linked in with what they are currently learning, and the 6D’s Love, or Wisdom (Power) has to be balanced with it’s other side. This leads to a lot of balancing here. So a lot of deep situations which require a lot of different perspectives and work so that the Love or Wisdom is strained out to become slightly different. This is probably why all the friends/ connections/ experiences and such.

The 5D is NOT doing 6th density work. At least not explicitly and with the relevant 6D energy in place. Before Love and Wisdom are balanced in 6th density they essentially remain in the individual as separated from each other.

So for the 5D. They have done the love. Then moved onto the wisdom (where love is folly, nothing to do with my output :angry:) but each state remains separate within the being when incarnate here, and in general, so the being has the completed, service based 4D love unmolested by concerns of wisdom and then also, the wisdom they have learnt in two separate containers in a sense.

I have done videos on this using this language. For me this manifests in the way of having this route I could go that I am very good at. Using this kind of spiritual information, applying it towards healing. The 4D stuff is kind of perfect. But my whole energy field completely goes off the rails if I try and follow that route because it is not my 5D self.

In practice, these two energies do combine because the higher forces life incarnation planning can do that but, the being still has these two parts of them almost separate. So that might be where your thoughts on the 5D and open hearted LOVE come from. That the 4D part of that self is always there ready and waiting.

Then obviously any individual has certain circuitry that further complicates the story. I.e. estrogen perhaps.

I am not sure, neither do I care particularly, how 5D negative experiences things because they do not incarnate here and I have not met one; and even if I did they’d never tell me the truth about anything so I would be able to form no real conclusions.

A point here I believe is significant though. The 5D positive can negatively polarise. Any wanderer can, and frequently do I believe, negatively polarise in small ways. The idea that some get from this material that wanderers are kind of perfect is not true. Like the Law of One says, when a wanderer becomes third density they become completely the creature of third density. I believe there are both 5D and 6D wanderers out there that have engaged in, been the perpetrators sometimes, in all sorts of nasty and abusive things.

But to the positive 5D negatively polarising is going the direction of their 4D positive self and letting the blockages down that path create complete madness.

Also, another small part to mention. The 5D is in some cases working on compassion rather than wisdom. The Law of One only mentioned in passing that compassion is important, because this did not apply to the Law of One peeps it wasn’t discussed much. But it makes sense to me that there are actually four energies. Wisdom, compassion, Power and Love.
