How to Seek 'The Heart of Self'

The Law of One, Book I, Session 15

Questioner: Yesterday you stated that 

“the harvest is now. 

There is not at this time any reason to include efforts along this line of longevity, but rather to encourage efforts to seek the heart of self. 

This which resides clearly in the violet-ray energy field will determine the harvest of the mind/body/spirit complex.” 

Could you tell us the best way to seek the heart of self?

Ra: I am Ra. We have given you this information in several wordings.

However, we can only say the material for your understanding is the self: the mind/body/spirit complex. 

You have been given information upon healing, as you call this distortion. 

This information may be seen in a more general context as 

ways to understand the self. 
The understanding, 
experiencing, 
accepting, and 
merging of self with self and other-self, and 
finally with the Creator, 

is the path to the heart of self. 

In each infinitesimal part of your self resides the One in all of Its power. 

Therefore, we can only encourage these lines of contemplation or prayer as a means of subjectively/objectively using or combining various understandings to enhance the seeking process. 

Without such a method of reversing the analytical process, one could not integrate into unity the many understandings gained in such seeking.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 52

Questioner: Thank you. 

I think that possibly I am on an important point here because it seems to me that the great work in evolution is the discipline of personality, and it seems that we have two types of entities moving around the universe, one stemming from disciplines of personality, and the other stemming from what you call the slingshot effect. 

I won’t even get into the sub-light speeds because I don’t consider that too important. 

I only consider this material important because of the fact that we are considering disciplines of the personality.

Is the use of the slingshot effect for travel what you might call an intellectual or a left brain type of involvement of understanding rather than a right brain type?

Ra: I am Ra. Your perception on this point is extensive. 

You penetrate the outer teaching. 

We prefer not to utilize the terminology of right and left brain due to the inaccuracies of this terminology. 

Some functions are repetitive or redundant in both lobes, and further, to some entities the functions of the right and left are reversed. 

However, the heart of the query is worth some consideration.

The technology of which you, as a social complex, are so enamored at this time is but the birthing of the manipulation of the intelligent energy of the sub-Logos which, when carried much further, may evolve into technology capable of using the gravitic effects of which we spoke.

We note that this term is not accurate but there is no closer term.

Therefore, the use of technology to manipulate that outside the self is far, far less of an aid to personal evolution than the disciplines of the mind/body/spirit complex resulting in the whole knowledge of the self in the microcosm and macrocosm.

To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free. 

The discipline which opens the universes opens also the gateways to evolution. 

The difference is that of choosing either to hitchhike to a place where beauty may be seen or to walk, step by step, independent and free in this independence to praise the strength to walk and the opportunity for the awareness of beauty.

The hitchhiker, instead, 
is distracted by conversation and the vagaries of the road and, dependent upon the whims of others, is concerned to make the appointment in time. 

The hitchhiker sees the same beauty but has not prepared itself for the establishment, in the roots of mind, of the experience.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 65 

Questioner: I may be recovering a little ground already covered today, but I am trying to get a more clear picture of some things that I don’t understand and possibly develop a plan of my own for activity in the future.

I have the impression that in the near future the seeking will increase by many who now are incarnate in the physical on this planet. 

Their seeking will increase because they will become more aware of the creation as it is and as it is opposed, I might say, to the creation of man. 

Their orientation and their thinking will be, by catalyst of a unique nature, reoriented to thinking of more basic concepts, shall I say. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. The generalities of expression can never be completely correct.

However, we may note that when faced with a hole in the curtain, an entity’s eyes may well peer for the first time through the window beyond.

This tendency is probable given the possibility/probability vortices active within your space/time and time/space continua at this nexus.

The Law of One, Book III, Session 70

Questioner: I am sorry to ask such stupid questions, but I am trying to determine something about space/time, time/space, and this very difficult area of the mechanism of evolution. 

I think it is central to the understanding of our evolution. 

However, I am not sure of this and I may be wasting my time. 

Could Ra comment on whether I am wasting my time in this particular investigation or whether it would be fruitful?

Ra: I am Ra. Since the concepts of space/time, or physics, and time/space, or metaphysics, are mechanical they are not central to the spiritual evolution of the mind/body/spirit complex. 

The study of love and light is far more productive in its motion towards unity in those entities pondering such concepts. 

However, this material is, shall we say, of some small interest and is harmless.

The Law of One, Book V, Fragment 42

Questioner: Jim has a personal question that is not to be published. 

He asks, “It seems that my balancing work has shifted from more peripheral concerns such as patience/impatience, to learning to open myself in unconditional love, to accepting my self as whole and perfect, and then to accepting my self as the Creator. 

If this is a normal progression of focus for balancing, wouldn’t it be more efficient once this is discovered for a person to work on the acceptance of the self as Creator rather than work peripherally on the secondary and tertiary results of not accepting the self?”

Ra: I am Ra. The term efficiency has misleading connotations. 

In the context of doing work in the disciplines of the personality, in order to be of more full efficiency in the central acceptance of the self, it is first quite necessary to know the distortions of the self which the entity is accepting.

Each thought and action needs must then be scrutinized for the precise foundation of the distortions of any reactions. 

This process shall lead to the more central task of acceptance. 

However, the architrave must be in place before the structure is builded.
