Suffering - I believe it can be tempered
I think it’s possible that it’s better (as if that were a thing lol 😂) to pair this Ra passage with the saying that got drummed into me, basically all my life, via my Aunt primarily … a Great Uncle before her.
And I credit this with being at least part of why I don’t seem to suffer through deconditioning as much as some do/can.
Maybe some could view it as a sort of bypassing. But what if it’s more like an antidote 🤔
Not saying there haven’t been difficult moments - but if I’m honest - unaware, those moments used to be the worse and more painful suffering spots.
With awareness (and surrender I suppose), and this phrase straight up programmed into me via what I would call ‘correct conditioning’ - even the ‘uncomfortable’ has less edge I think. 🤔
If you’ve been around Planet Andrea for awhile, this is possibly old news :)
But here we go anyway ☺️
“Inconvenience is adventure, rightly considered.”
Thank-you Uncle Stanley. A projector btw. Born in 1894.
Literally shaped my entire world lens it turns out.
Maybe it can offer something to you now too - or maybe it already has via one of the previous billion times I’ve mentioned it.
I dunno, sometimes - maybe a lot of times - I think Ra could come with a warning label - to properly prepare the unsuspecting reader wandering by or something 😆
Like he needs context or a heads up with many of these random passages of transcript as it turns out he’s come to be universalizing. 😌
Ah well. That’s my preamble done.
Now here’s Ra (via Chaitanya) -
“It maybe deeply intellectually satisfying for all of us to meander through the intricacies of the potential of the true mind. It’s like being Alice in Wonderland, because this is not our world.
And the not-self is deep, deep, deep sickness. It’s what locks everybody in.
And it is what the program is about. The program drives us along a huge evolutionary arc. It is what it does.
And it demands within that that we are obedient. And boy is the program good at that.
We are driven, seduced. We are deeply, deeply conditioned from the moment we open our mouths, from the moment that the first spoon goes in, the moment that the nipple goes in, we are homogenized, deep, deep, deep.
When that person walks in through the center, no matter that they are experimenting with their Strategy and Authority, we know that this powerful not-self mind has not in any way given up.
It’s still there.
It needs to be elaborated on.
The very first technique that you teach someone, that technique that I taught you in the first year - color transference [of HD Motivation and let’s include View here too perhaps] - to train their passenger to begin to see that you have to begin to make sure that they understand the density of their conditioning.
Oh, needing to attract attention [undefined/open throat], yes, yes, and not knowing what direction [undefined/open Self/G], and not knowing what is enough is enough [undefined/open sacral], always in a hurry and under pressure [u defined/open root] and holding onto things that are bad for them [undefined/open spleen].
This is the not-self.
And it doesn't matter what the trajectory is for this being in its life.
The not-self world is full of not-self heroes, not-self stars, not-self billionaires, not-self athletes, not-self everything.
We have been conditioned to believe that that expression of specialness within the not-self domain is actually just that, specialness; it is not.
It is just another mechanism of control.
They are all mechanisms of control.
I may be a heretic, but I would never want the program to stop being in charge.
I understand that at the edges there is always a possibility to step to the other side.
There has to be, within the consciousness program, the extreme of those who break the covenant; otherwise, it would not be a truth.
Those beings who meet Human Design, who enter into their Strategy and Authority, yes it can definitely give them a better life.
But oh, the journey to be awake, that's something else.”
