Do you guys actually believe this stuff?

Wow, this is a great thread. My lunch break isn't long enough to study some of the wonderful thoughts here.

Before I go back to making storm drainage engineering drawings, let me say a few things:

Some people are comfortable only with what they perceive with their 5 senses and what they come up with inside a rational construct they have created. If that's what they need, blessings to them.

Ra, as I interpret it, would be the first to say that any system of thought, any philosophy, any ontological construct, is flawed, or as Ra would say, "a distortion." To me this parallels very much a Buddhist approach. God is what is left after all words and all mental constructs have failed.

It's always seemed to me that the LOO material is tailor-made for the nerdy, geeky spiritual aspirant (like me.)

I think Ra said something to the effect that adopting a certain set of mental constructs is not at all necessary for spiritual evolution.

And what about the concept of spiritual evolution itself? Is there such a thing? It feels right. Can't prove it. Will let you know when I can.
