Hey Ali,
I would definitely make the LOO a central point in your discussion, simply by virtue that it is such a profound work and yet so completely unknown to most people, even the dedicated new age sort. You are also in a good position to do so since you have read and at the very least have had a while to think about the topics therein. (The degree to which we understand the work is relative for each of us). I agree with Shemaya in that I would try to find a subject that has direct relevance to your audience and then speak about it from your LOO oriented manner of thinking, applying quotes or concepts where you can. Or you could offer them some philosophical problem that is well established, such as the "Would you kill the big guy?" question. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/docume..._one.shtml) And then speak about what you feel Ra might have answered.
The Law of One is a huge subject and in 15 minutes you can't possibly hope to make more than a scratch in to it, at least not without completely confusing everyone
So the most you can do I think is give them a taste and if they're interested you can give them the L/L website. Not that your mission is to convert anyone of course. But your being asked to speak and your intuitive sign posts towards speaking may be a form of 'calling' for the knowledge, if you will. Lord knows there are hardly any LOO followers in comparison to the major religions. We're all LOO priests in that sense. Or at least keepers of a sacred text!
Please let us know how it goes, whatever you do! Are you going to be recorded? Maybe you could post your talk here afterwards? I'd love to hear it. Oh- and I haven't forgotten your e-mail by the way. A reply is on my list.
