Hi Daniel,
There is no wish "to attack"; but definite concern with regard to possible cultural misrepresentation/appropriation; which is why these questions are valid, and necessary -
1) to determine the authenticity that what you're telling us are actual Hopi beliefs;
and
2) to show if you truly do have the authority to speak on behalf of Hopi.
If you are secure in your authority and authenticity, why won't you provide answers to these questions?
Spiritual and Cultural lineage of Indigenous people involves recognition and respect. This is fundamental to traditional cultures.
It's remiss of you to not provide the precise details of your being granted permission to speak on behalf of Hopi; so to now sidestep a query asking you to provide details is problematic.
A crucial aspect of the Ra Material is that purity of intent and exacting protocols were put in place to protect the authenticity and accuracy of the transmitted information.
So it's natural for a forum member to ask for this information from you.
Instead you reply that a valid attempt to establish your bona-fides is "part of a campaign to attack"
"interfering"
"without concern for" forum members
and not engaging in "real discussion of this material".
This seems evasive.
If you would answer these simple and relevant questions, dialogue can begin.
