Confederation Yahweh, Part 3

Notes from post:
SPECULATION!!!!
•Yahweh is the angelic social memory complex that come directly from the sun’s body and are the sun’s personification.
•They are Guardians and a part of the Council of Saturn
•The Council of Saturn is in charge of helping Yahweh learn about Itself through shepherding the sub-sub logoi that live within Yahweh’s sub-logoic body (the sub-logoic refinement within the inherited system of 7 densities).
•Yahweh’s first crop was Venus, and it went smoothly. There was kinship. Yahweh chose a bias of loving kindness as a result of the relationship
•Yahweh’s second crop was Maldek, mixed polarity.
•Yahweh’s third crop was Mars, mixed polarity. Some improvement, only the atmosphere was destroyed. Yahweh felt bonded with the Martians.
•Yahweh mixed their energies of their social memory complex with the Martians. Other guardians thought this was infringement.
•What did Yahweh do? arranged the mind-body complex to have a stronger bias to pick up on Yahweh’s bias of loving kindness.
•18.18 Questioner: Can you tell me Yahweh’s purpose in making the genetic sexual changes?
•Ra: I am Ra. The purpose seven five oh oh oh [75,000] years ago, as you measure time, the changes subsequent to that time were of one purpose only: that to express in the mind/body complex those characteristics which would lead to further and more speedy development of the spiritual complex.
•
•What occurred? Council installed a Quarantine.
•Was this a punishment? No, it was always planned as a part of the sub-logoic development in its life-cycle
•Did Ra know this? I don’t think so. Did the Council of Saturn? Yes, I think so.
•Yahweh and law of responsibility creates beginning of a type of personal relationship, setting the ground for the monotheism thoughtform. This would be a novel way for the Creator to know Itself.
•Ra visits skies 18,000 years ago. Egyptians not ready because they were not seeking unity (contradictory in their beliefs and actions)
•Ra comes in flesh to teach. Caused a ruckus. But further strengthened monotheism thoughtform.
•Ra and the pyramids
•Yahweh becomes Emmanuel meaning “I AM with you.” Shows Yahweh’s development. Occupies the energetics of monotheism.
•Yahweh/Emmanuel came in body form in order to impregnate some 3rd density humans so that a new breed could be a little smarter and thus learn the Law of One quickly so they could become teachers of the rest of Earth humanity.
•Created elitism. Why? Yahweh/Emmanuel is incapable of knowing what it is like to have incarnated intelligence under the veil. Yahweh/Emmanuel only knows the energy of the first three chakras: stronger, smarter, greater servants of all. Instead they got: stronger, smarter, masters of all.
•Yahweh/Emmanuel only knows wholeness within wholeness.
•Akhenaten and the sub-logos (Yahweh/Emmanuel). Egyptians saw disc as symbol of unity. “Unity” as a concept is pronounced “Ra.” Akhenaten was first monotheist.
•Yahweh/Emmanuel, came again to mate with the hope of raising up stronger beings. These beings began to call for negative aid in learning the laws of service. This distortion allows the Orion takes on the name “Yahweh.”
•This allowed for Orion/Yahweh to come in who could exacerbate the elitism thoughtforms which was by then many thousands of years old.
•Orion/Yahweh means “I am your master”
•Big Diaspora
•24.17 Questioner: Could you tell me why the Orion group had to leave after, I believe, it figures to be a six-hundred-year period, why they had to vacate?
•Ra: I am Ra. Although the impression that they had given to those who called them [was] that these entities were an elite group, that which you know as “Diaspora” occurred, causing much dispersion of these peoples so that they became an humbler and more honorable breed, less bellicose and more aware of the loving-kindness of the One Creator.The creation about them tended towards being somewhat bellicose, somewhat oriented towards the enslavement of others, but they themselves, the target of the Orion group by means of their genetic superiority/weakness, became what you may call the underdogs, thereby letting the feelings of gratitude for their neighbors, their family, and their One Creator begin to heal the feelings of elitism which led to the distortions of power over others which had caused their own bellicosity.
•Orion/Yahweh left because there was not enough of a call for them to stay; but mixed polarity was in full swing
•Yahweh/Emmanuel desires to do Emmanuel’s nature: loving kindness expressed as “I AM with you and I yearn for relationship (re-cognize).”
•Energetic logjam + monotheism thoughtform + trajectory of Emmanuel identity + cultural calling for Anointer (Christ) + Confederation endeavors + Council of Saturn working with other Councils to project manage Logoi desire to further experience the Creator’s Self as Face to Face encounter with Itself in veiled 3rd density condition + the entity known to us as Jesus saying yes to the mission
•Joshua Christ Event: was 1) development in Creator’s self knowledge, 2) development in logoic archetypal mind, 3) Yahweh/Emmanuel self knowledge development, 4) installs the forgiveness principle; 5) creates an efficient pathway to gnosis of self as creator through relationship (i.e. unitive consciousness) 5) it was an inter order of magnitude complex

The Sacrament of Solidarity: Transmuting Painful Feelings Into Blessings For Others
Thursday Nov 02, 2023
Thursday Nov 02, 2023
Are you feeling some intensely painful feeling? Anxiety? Depression? Confusion? Anger? Grief? Shame?
The world will not get calmer, so it is up to those of us who want to take on the honor/responsibility to process our catalysts with efficiency, intention, and love. The following brief exercise is very beneficial and is informed by good mental health techniques, healthy spirituality, my own Catholic Christian tradition, and the Law of One metaphysics.
One way to do this is what I call the “Sacrament of Solidarity.” It utilizes some of Dr. Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion and Ra’s description of the different energy centers (See below for graphs and links to more chakra material from Law of One). As a mental health professional, I developed this ten-step process to help some of my clients. I also use it daily. Try it out for yourself?

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.
