Quote:Can you state some of your objections to the Law of One material itself? Your objections to the new age movement don't seem all that relevant to these books.
Like I said you can find these ideas elsewhere, because they are archaic, I was trying to kill two birds with one stone.
Ok as for the books themselves, the transcendent notions really get me as there absolutely no indication that they hold any basis in reality.
1. The system by which one achieves polarization (acceptance which has a corresponding affect on the violet ray vibration) which results in the product of a orientation of service (STO/STS) and a method attaining higher realms of existence is just put out there, by what mechanic does this actually function, "time/space" magic?
2. Relying on Larson to be correct is a right laugh, of course it's easy to do when you don't understand science (but believe you do) or philosophy, his work is heavily philosophical and contains no evidence or mathematical proofs, it's not going to be proven *anytime* soon so hoping that it will is just sad.
3. The human history aspect is incredibly suss, especially how Ra is always messing up the numbers (sometimes contradicting more recently discovered evidence) but has a convenient "our number systems are different so we're allowed to be wrong here" cop out.
4. The association with Uri Geller, a fraud, people will say "but the only reason Uri couldn't magic around Randi was because it would infringe free will as it would tear the popular narrative that magic isn't real asunder" give me a break lol. Andrijia Puharich's wife was quoted noting the gullibility of her husband in his parapsychological investigations.
5. The whole cosmology is childish and lacks sophistication.
6. The "all is one" sentiment, wow what insight, every whole is a part of another greater whole, thank you kindergarten. If your frame of reference is the entire universe than yes, of course all must be regarded as one, but is a human the entire universe?
7. Harvest= modern analogue of the idea of purification, past analogues have included Buddhist ascension and christian salvation. Also, many people get messiah like about it which is of course distasteful.
8. Wanderers- just textbook hero journey stuff (this has been in the human mind since at least Gilgamesh), of course people love identifying as wanderers, makes 'em feel special. Of course such a ridiculous concept can fit into the model of reality that the Law of One provides since the model accounts for everything ever, which is the appeal and it's biggest flaw.
9. Orion - Convenient faceless, all encompassing enemies to blame.
10. preveil- Yeah, the idea of innocence lost (introduction of "evil" STS) is allegory for humans evolving from the animal psyche read the bible or any world mythology lol. Like I said these ideas have been around for forever and take new forms depending on context. You're pumping words out of an unconscious woman you're gonna see stuff like this, deep thoughts from the unconscious, taking it literally and thinking that an alien is at work is weird lol.
