The Choice
The purpose of incarnation in third density is to learn the Ways of Love. – 82.15
The primary function of the very intense, very short third-density experience is the making of the Choice: to choose to dedicate the self to the positive path of service to others or the negative path of service to self.
If the catalyst of third density is used to successfully bias or polarize the consciousness in order to make the Choice to a harvestable degree (measured in vibratory rate of 51% for service to others and 95% for service to self), then, at the time of harvest, the entity will graduate from third to fourth density.
The illusion of separation offers to us the Choice so that we may choose either to seek, by faith alone, the true, unified nature of reality beyond the veil via the positive path; or we may seek to perpetuate the illusion via the negative path—perhaps piercing the veil, but only for personal gain.
The Choice is so fundamental and significant that it is built into the blueprint of the third-density experience: the archetypal mind. By making this choice through the catalytically intense, multi-incarnational third density, the “statue is forged in the fire.” The work of subsequent densities, then, is that of refining the “rough-hewn sculpture.”
Though this Choice is but the work of a moment (relative to the long durations of higher densities), it is the axis upon which the creation turns, for the higher densities do their work due to the polarity gained in this Choice.
For the seeker desirous of making the positive, service-to-others choice, Ra says:Ra: Let us [use the] metaphor [of] 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. – 50.7
