Shin'Ar- Thanks you for the very thoughtful discussion! I have a much clearer picture of your cosmology now, and I think we are pretty much on the same page. As we have previously discussed, most of the confusion appears to stem from having to use words that have multiple meanings.
To sum up in a nutshell: We all emanate from the same Source, but we are not identical to that Source. Furthermore, if/when one of the rays attempts to identify itself as the Source, all manner of problems ensue.
In this, I believe we do agree.
However, the philosophy in the Ra Material provides that each emanation from the source actually has the capacity to travel back up the rays, progressively attaining greater levels of identity with the Source, until eventually presented with the option to re-merge completely with the Source in unity.
Much of what they are discussing is how this is accomplished. You are right- there is a sort of flip, superficial, egotistical way of looking at the Law of One and declaring oneself to literally be the Creator. But there is no way around this. For every teaching, there will be a bastardization by the masses: "You Create Your Own Reality" and all that crap.
But realize, not everybody who speaks or writes about these subjects has that particular bastardization in mind. You, Shin'Ar, are not the sole keeper and defender of the Ageless Wisdom. But you are a fine one!
Thanks again for the conversation.
