One of the topics in the Law of One I found to be most fruitful was the descriptions of the functions of the conscious and unconscious mind. In hearing people reference Jung, it seem to me that he viewed the dance between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind very similarly to Ra, understanding the vast resources of the unconscious mind.
personal question: where do you think your current learnings are tending towards? (ie having worked on understanding the interplay between the conscious and the unconscious, where is the next step, or the next body of insights in your journey?)
As zenmaster implied, I think that grasping our individuality through exploration of shadow and unconscious are probably life-long works. I'm not sure what adept work lies beyond that, aside from refining the service which may be given as a result of this exploration. I know that there are extremely advanced methods of magical working and exploration of spirituality and self but these things I think will reveal themselves if and when the time is right.
As for the next area of exploration, I feel as though Carl Jung might be another life-long supplement to my spiritual understandings in the same way that the Law of One is. I certainly plan on continuing to explore and refine not only my understandings of his work but also working on expanding this synthesis. This was condensed into a 30 minute talk for Homecoming, where I feel there is really no end to the correlations that could be discussed.
GLB and I both had similar Homecoming presentations this year in that we both attempted to synthesize other sources of information with the Ra material, and it helped solidify my own notion that this is a fruitful endeavor for L/L Research in many capacities. I don't have a particular system or collection of works in mind yet, but I feel like the Law of One can serve as my cornerstone for seeking and I can explore spirituality effectively by not just researching other philosophies in their own right, but with the intent to relate them back to the Law of One. Hopefully this can be of service to other people who are looking for supplementary material to better grasp the Law of One, or perhaps lend validation to the Law of One by introducing people to it through other, more established philosophies.
