SeekinTruth said:The thing to keep in mind is that mechanical man - man #1, #2, and #3, - isn't a unity. So, one part may have good intentions, another, bad, a third indifferent, and so on. Only a single Real I that follows the intentions of the Higher Self can be seen as having any single, stable intention from an objective point of view. Those who have the higher centers, i.e. "souled" individuals, will not be able to receive anything useful from them (which are fully formed and functioning) because the lower centers have not been fused into a harmoniously working whole.
It may also be that actions for those who can actually DO, will always be in the same direction (e.g. STO) rather than one moment doing one thing, and then a bit later doing another that cancels out the first thing. In that situation, the evidence points to not having any unified intention, but as G said, everything just happens.
Though we can't decide to be really STO before we have a permanent I to decide with, I was wondering about this:
rs said:but suppose the mother is responding to the child's needs solely from the Darwinian chemical basis? This is not STO. (Its not necessarily STS either, its just a programmed response).
It does seem to me that in both humans and animals, the mother love hormones is some of the closest we get to unconditional love (STO) But at the same time it is obvious that it is instinct/hormone induced feelings.
But the act of giving ones life and strength to offspring is still STO, even if it is not an "educated decision" (if one can say that) So the mother can be an STS being, but once the hormones kick in, she will willingly give her life to save her offspring.
I don't know if it is possible in 3D to feel love that is not hormonal, or if the love "don't count" when hormone induced?
Do 4D have hormones? or is it an "educated decision" when one loves in 4D?
