Discussion on Archetypes In the Law of One, part 3
Wednesday Jul 20, 2022
Wednesday Jul 20, 2022
Doug Scott, LCSW continues his presentation on the Archetypes of the Mind to the Building 4th community. We discussed Ra's description of how the adept puts on a new mind--a new matrix--when we feel our conscious minds become "full to bursting of the most abstruse and unmanageable of ideas, so that further ideation becomes impossible and work in blue ray or indigo is blocked through over-activation" 91.35.

Anchored Self, Floating Self by Doug Scott, LCSW
Tuesday Jul 19, 2022
Tuesday Jul 19, 2022
The following is the presentation I gave where I described the anchored self as the true self and the floating self as the false self. I was attempting to show ways in which we can detach from the floating self or false self and move into the anchored self or true self. This talk appeals to both the psychological and spiritual aspects of this journey.

Archetypes According to the Law of One, part 2

Wednesday Jul 13, 2022
Doug continues his presentation on the Archetypes according to the Law of One material. He talks about the Archetypal Mind before the veil of forgetting and after the veil was placed. He then suggests a type of consciousness flow which occurs via the Archetypes in order that consciousness can evolve and polarize in the veiled third-density experience.

Brandi (https://brandicreinhardt.com/) is a counseling colleague for whom I have great respect. We meet once a month for case studies. I learn a lot from her because of how she brings her wisdom and gnosis of who she is from a multidimensional perspective and offers herself to her family, friends, and clients as an true elder. She and I discuss our experiences of living in the now, understanding trauma, staying open in the midst of the collective pain, and allowing the Creator's love and light to channel through us.
Here is the website about ETT (Emotional Transformational Therapy) which is mentioned in the podcast.

Our Vision
Ra says, “The Original Desire is that all entities seek and become one” (20.27). The “oneing” arises across ever increasing complexity. Complexification is evolution, and evolution is gained “by the losing,” as Ra mentions in 93.24.
It is sometimes said that there are three boxes that lead to evolution: Order, Disorder, and Reorder. Individually and collectively, we have to a sense of ‘order’ so that we develop identity. Then, we have to go through ‘disorder’ so that the experience the expansion and transformation of our ‘order’ gave us. We arrive at ‘reorder,’ but not after considerable deconstruction. In a world whose sense-making worldviews and institutions are thoroughly in disorder, how can we hold the depth of meaning so that we live into new spaces of inner and collective freedom? Our podcast hopes to be a small voice in the desert (disorder) which attempts to integrate, not segregate; unite diversity, not demand uniformity; include the pieces of disorder so that we may transcend into reconstructing–reconciling–reordering–renewing–the ever ancient, and ever new.
Building 4th is the name of our small spiritual community that is centered around the cosmic law known as the Law of One.
What does “Building 4th” mean? [see below for further descriptions of each of these four points]
- Building the Fourth Density [1]
- Building the Fourth Energy Center [2]
- Building the Fourth Way [3]
- Building Forth On Our Spiritual Evolution [4]
Building 4th’s Fourth Way is to embrace an incarnational spirituality grounded in the immediacy of our life-situations.
- We seek to learn in order to serve: We affirm that whenever we study the Law of One or other spiritual material, whether on our own or as a group, this is for the purpose of crystallizing our spiritual principles and learning how to embody them.
- The mundane is sacred: We affirm that there is no separation between the ordinary world and divinity. For example, doing dishes is an act of the Creator knowing Itself and can be supremely sacred.
- Love is our metric: We affirm that any teaching or belief, whether conventional or esoteric, is valued by how well it helps us love and understand ourselves and others, including those others whom we perceive to be different or even antagonistic.
- The way down is the way up: We affirm that our ordinary lives are rich in opportunities to grow spiritually. We try to bring our full presence and open heart to each moment, even–and especially–the difficult ones. We are learning that there is no escaping the conditions that foster our personal growth and therefore our goal is to embrace each challenge wherever we discern that it is safe and appropriate to do so. And even in dangerous, unsafe situations, we want to hold the assurance that the creator’s love is with us and we are immortal spiritual beings. In short, the ascension process is not a journey up and out of this difficult third-density illusion, but rather a movement down and into it more.
- The importance of humility: Ra suggests that to become the creator, “[…]renders one the most humble servant of all, transparent in personality and able to know and accept others.” We trust that our understanding is ever evolving, thus we try to hold our own views and various identities with humility. We acknowledge that admitting we don’t know fully requires some level of vulnerability and this can be uncomfortable.
We are inspired by the perennial philosophy that undergirds most of the world’s major spiritual traditions. For us, one primary description of the perennial philosophy is the Law of One material.
We are also informed by the academic disciplines of psychology, sociology, and theology, as we endeavor to weave a healthy synthesis between the conventional and the cosmic, the exoteric and the esoteric, and micro and the macro [4].
We hope that you enter the adventure with us and that you’ll enjoy our podcast.
