When we "die", whether in 3D or 4D, I guess we do not end in 6D or such? Even in death I guess, we are not beyond such violations?
Even in the Ra Material (Law of One), it is mentioned that there are still wars in 4th density. 5th density is an improvement, being the density of Honor, but it does not really come together into one view until 6D. Death isn't an end, it is just a transition. Of course there are always those dead folks that insist that there is no such thing as "life before death."
For the most part, death is still 3D, except your consciousness is in 3D time, trying to access 3D space. So I just try to make the best of what I have to work with. But if I do find a way out, I'll be sure to let you know!
Lostseeker wrote:As for the learning and karma thing, this is where I unfortunately find myself diverging from this prevailing view of karma/instruction/etc. For better or worse, ignorant or not, I feel entirely at odds with this existence, and do not buy into the idea that I "chose" to come here, or that it is ultimately all for my spiritual benefit. Oh, certainly one could admit that one can "learn" from adversity, but nonetheless. There is undoubtedly an analog to human/3D suffering on our "true" spiritual selves, and I cannot see that that pain, regardless of how it is packaged or spun, is a "good" or beneficial thing. The Veil of Forgetting is another vile part of the Great Lie as far as I am concerned. In my view, such a thing would seem to be probably one of the greatest cosmic "crimes" there must be...to literally take away everything someone/thing is, which is their sense of self, their memories, their experiences, etc. (And at that level, that is ALL one is, no?) It is spun here to be part of the so-called "learning" experience of this existence, but the very concept is so illogical and repugnant to me. Surely one does not "learn" without full knowledge of their full self and experiences. To learn Calculus, one does not need to have one's prior learning of basic math and geometry and whatever other prerequisites "erased" from one's memories. And even if they were, then "learning" Calculus would become pointless and impossible. It also, not trivially, seems to make the entire so-called inviolable concept of "free will", moot. A tangent argument I've also heard is that we were/are ultimately perfect, with perfect knowledge, and so once one "knows" something (or everything, rather), erasing it artificially is the only way to "re-learn" it. Again, not to belabor but I find the argument ridiculous and stomach-turning.
"Karma" also does not seem nearly the even-handed judge that it is portrayed to be. There are horrors being wreaked (and have been, seemingly, across known history) on this planet that seem to cross lines that should never be cross-able, with humans (or masquerading as them?) playing with things that they clearly do not understand, and likely never fully can, let alone touch..."God's" toolbox, so to speak. Nuclear weaponry is one, but since then, now we also have experiments with physically intrusive (and not) mind control, manipulation of weather and nature, and other such violations of what seemingly any sane sentient creature would understand to be against fundamental natural and universal order. Many of these and other spirit-numbing horrors we are witnessing as a "normal" part of this very abnormal reality right now would seem to go off the karmic scale. Yet, they continue. Not only allowed to happen in the first place, but continue, and expand.
I can certainly understand your frustration... try telling every scientist you meet that "everything they know is wrong!"
And speaking of which, Calculus isn't a good example because it is based on a false premise... nothing in Calculus actually works in Nature. See Miles Mathis' paper,
A Redefinition of the Derivative. Point being: try looking for answers that are
outside of what you already
know is wrong.
Regarding the Veil of Forgetting... veils are easily ripped off, if you really want to look to see what is on the other side. But just remember that it is not often what you expect it to be.
And you are right about karma, it is a very biased judge and jury, because you not only have to deal with personal karma, but also the effects of the karma for the collectives of which you partake. And that can include your ancestors, your race, your culture, your society and even your species. Most of the time it makes little sense, as bad things happen to good people all the time. And there is also the clock time delay, as the effects of karma are not usually "broadcast" until you either die, or reincarnate. But in the long run, it does balance out as everything in nature seeks balance--even atoms forming molecules. We just refer to that "karma" as valences.

Those priests also say, "Every journey starts with a single step." So rather than focus on how long the trip is, remember that you are now closer to the end of the road. I don't consider Earth a "school," nor a "prison." To me, it is just another life form trying to figure out the Universe, and we happen to be sharing part of that great journey together.
One of the most important things to remember is that your bioenergy is
intellegent. If you tell it to cause you all sorts of grief and make your life miserable, it does what it is told. You ARE the boss. I know it may sound a bit corny, but you need to start looking at the good things in life, more than staring down the well of despair. If you can just find that lifeline, you will be surprised how things can change.
