The worldview expressed in the Law of One/“Ra Material” and the Hidden Hand interview
https://www.wanttoknow.info/secret_societies/hidden_hand_081018
The way I see things, these two sources explain existence, the state of our world, and the meaning of life far more accurately than any other. One is a “channeled” work, and the other is a long series of Questions and Answers between a conspiracy forum (RiP ATS) and a self-proclaimed world-controller. I see them as complimentary, showing a deeper reality by showing two sides of the same coin. One side being that of Service-to-Others, and the other being Service-to-Self

Thread will stay open for 3-4 weeks thanks to a very helpful suggestion.
Well, thats the trap it presents right?
It grants the negative path a structured legitimacy and then pulls it away at the end. It is not an independent side of the coin in of itself. It is real but not rooted in reality... its unstable.
So, if it is a logical necessity that the negative path exists then it would be part of the architecture of reality. But really, all the negative path is a rejection of reality, a parasitic misuse of it.
Free will is about how aligned one is to the fabric of reality. Aligning oneself to the truth. Not about the capacity to choose two or multiple different pathways. Further still, free will is not dependent on an external opposing force. A satan is not the source of your capacity to choose... if so, that would actually limit the freedom.
The Hidden Hand tries to justify themselves, but they are not coherent... that's not to say there isn't a hidden hand. Its just that they aren't required.
Except, if you aren’t free to choose between “truth” and “untruth”, then “truth” just about ceases to have meaning. “Reality” becomes a static painting, forever unchanging. You become an automaton. Pretty certain God kickstarted existence as we know it precisely because of how pointless such stasis is.
Is it really a trap when they tell you it’s a trap? Isn’t that just a warning at that point?
Reality is living, not static... truth is something you can grow into, not just agree with. It is participation.
Imagine it this way... it is not a fork in the road. It is a well (infinite). Its depth and the descent is what makes it so interesting.
I guess not every trap hides itself. Some traps announce themselves...
Reality not being static is predicated on choice. If there are no choices being made, you are just an automaton following your (static) programming. Do you think chatGPT measures a statements “truth” before it presents an answer to a query you pose it? Of course not. For “truth” to exist, so must “untruth”. Growth is only possible in the face of death. If old things never died, new things would never grow.
What are your thoughts vis a vis the southpark clip? Do you disagree with the notion it expresses?
The infinite is not static, it is dynamic by definition. The infinite when discussed is usually treated like a finished object because we have finite minds. It is not.
Yes, but untruth simply doesn't exist... the answer or goal is ChatGPT hallucinating of sorts. The untruth only exists because the truth exists. It is a parasite to the truth. but the possibility of untruth can make alignment more meaningful.
I suppose the type of death matters... dying to self or ceasing to exist? Change, transformation can be a death of sorts and that encourages growth. Not annihilation say....
I'm sorry, I do not see the south park clip.
Edit: nevermind, I see the clip
Perhaps we might have different emergent interpretations: I see it as the stakes exist because Butters could avoid the pain, misinterpret it... fall in with the emo (goth?) kids. Experiencing sadness is meaningful because it is a choice to align. He has exited the distorted view.
"to feel the joy, I must feel the sad" shows the dynamic interplay of aligning with reality. Growth, joy, and even sadness are meaningful because they arise from conscious engagement with reality. Alignment provokes emotions, and the emotions themselves are relational to truth, not independent forces.
Edit: to clarify further and maybe this is where I deviate from the surface meaning of Butters line - Sadness and joy are not opposites or dualities... they are relational feedback from reality. Participating fully in life provokes both, and that participation is what makes alignment, growth, and free will meaningful.
