A 'Lifetime': Metaphorically, The Longest Poker Game There is!
The Law of One, Book II, Session 50
Questioner: Can you expand on the concept which is that it is necessary for an entity, during incarnation in the physical as we know it, to become polarized or interact properly with other entities and why this isn’t possible in between incarnations when the entity is aware of what he wants to do.
Why must he come into an incarnation and lose conscious memory of what he wants to do and then act in a way in which he hopes to act?
Ra: I am Ra.
Let us give the example of the man who sees all the poker hands.
He then knows the game.
It is but child’s play to gamble, for it is no risk.
The other hands are known.
The possibilities are known and the hand will be played correctly but with no interest.
In time/space and in the true color green density, the hands of all are open to the eye.
The thoughts, the feelings, the troubles, all these may be seen.
There is no deception and no desire for deception.
Thus much may be accomplished in harmony but the mind/body/spirit gains little polarity from this interaction.
Let us re-examine this metaphor and multiply it into the longest poker game you can imagine, a lifetime.
The cards are love, dislike, limitation, unhappiness, pleasure, etc.
They are dealt and re-dealt and re-dealt continuously.
You may, during this incarnation begin—and we stress begin—to know your own cards.
You may begin to find the love within you.
You may begin to balance your pleasure,
your limitations, etc.
However, your only indication of other-selves’ cards is to look into the eyes.
You cannot remember your hand, their hands, perhaps even the rules of this game.
This game can only be won by those who lose their cards in the melting influence of love, can only be won by those who lay their pleasures, their limitations, their all upon the table face up and say inwardly:
“All, all of you players, each other-self, whatever your hand, I love you.”
This is the game:
to know,
to accept,
to forgive,
to balance, and
to open the self in love.
This cannot be done without the forgetting, for it would carry no weight in the life of the mind/body/spirit being-ness totality.
Is there a brief query before we leave this instrument?
The Law of One, Book III, Session 71
Questioner: Is the process in positive time/space identical with the process in negative time/space for this healing?
Ra: I am Ra. The process in space/time of the forgiveness and acceptance is much like that in time/space in that the qualities of the process are analogous.
However,
while in space/time
it is not possible to determine the course of events beyond the incarnation but only to correct present imbalances.
In time/space, upon the other hand,
it is not possible to correct any unbalanced actions but rather to perceive the imbalances and thusly forgive the self for that which is.
The decisions then are made to set up the possibility/probabilities of correcting these imbalances in what you call future space/time experiences.
The advantage of time/space
is that of the fluidity of the grand overview.
The advantage of space/time
is that, working in darkness with a tiny candle, one may correct imbalances.
