I’ve dropped this into Dbay rather than Planet Andrea because I think this speaks directly to the point of why I appreciate video so much.

I think of it [Video in this case, but other mediums exist] as a (marketing) tool for “pre-communion”

👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 That’ll make more sense once you read the rest of this.

And it has the potential to act as this amazing filter that lets just the right people (for us) through.

I think this passage also underscores the reason we get to be courageous. Really fucking brave.

Because the world is indeed largely Notself - and so will it remain. We have to find our pockets. Our ‘safe’ (at this point I semi-hate that word - the woke have ruined it, am taking it back here) places where we can let our hair down and not constantly have our guard up around whatever it is we’re here to deliver through our Outer Authority.

(This is one of those places btw)

I believe each of us can be a sort of waystation for that. Part of a sort of “web of correctness” - where differences are the point and even the expectation.

But I also really think that this pre-communion idea, aka marketing, is a missing puzzle piece.

Not ‘marketing’ in the traditional sense. Apparently, I’ve been so neck deep in not that for so long, that it’s genuinely hard for me to remember what that even is - maybe you can help fill the blanks 🤔

Marketing, as I understand it is about creating portals for people to step into for “more please” if that makes any sense?

Reminds me I still want to find my copy of “This is Marketing” by Seth Godin and grab some goodness from it to share.

Maybe today is the day for that.

Meanwhile, here’s the Ra passage that’s spurred this preamble …

Maybe it rounds out this morning thought-drop of mine for you. :)

“Only when you are correct in your form are you going to begin to recognize the uniqueness of your own vision; that you don’t see what other people see.

[And the value in that!]

You don’t see it the way they see it.

And you don’t have to pretend that you do.

[Here’s the thing]

👉🏼 This [Notself] world isn’t based on uniqueness.

👉🏼 It doesn’t like uniqueness.

It doesn’t like those beings who say -

“Just because you think so doesn’t mean I have to think so.”

“Doesn’t mean I see it the way you see it.”

“And it doesn’t mean that the fact that I see it differently than you should be confrontational”

In the not-self world all of us seeing that [an] accident … we would all end up yelling at each other: “You don’t know what you saw!’ … screaming and yelling at each other.

In reality, in the [attainable] fantasy of the nine-centered variable consciousness world, we would all share the unusual perspectives we all have.

There would be no confrontation in that.

[Back to the accident]

There would simply be “how interesting.”

Somebody saw that the person was looking in the mirror and somebody saw something else and it goes on and on and on.

And if we took that all together, we really have the story. No conflict.

The only reason we have conflict when people express themselves is because no one is sure of anything, and they are certainty not sure of themselves.

So if they say something and somebody doesn’t agree they get defensive, concerned and all this stuff.

[In the end]

It’s about communion.

It’s the whole thing about being correct as a being. There is this assumption that this process is simply a selfish process.

[Well, only because he’s said as much, and people have since singled out that message to repeat over and over, but okay - selfishness with a greater purpose, yes? It’s not the final destination.]

Well, it is [simply a selfishness process] in a sense [in] that there is nobody else that’s going to do this for you. So you have to do this yourself.

But the goal in that, what that leads to is a greater communion with the other. [A giving and receiving of Outer Authority]

It’s the only thing that’s really interesting for us in the end.

Because as nine-centered beings - IF you are operating correctly in your form - you’re not here to be afraid, you’re not here to fail on the material plane you’re not here to be crushed, you’re not here to have any of that stuff.“
