It seems like my previous post is being read as indicating disapproval of Ra for sharing certain information.  However, in the context of the conversation I was engaged in, I was simply explaining how these pieces of information helped me to understand how somebody could see this material in a negative light.  Obviously, none of that is sufficient to give me that opinion!  

To be clear: I don't think any of it is negative, but I do think it's sometimes scary.  Casual readers who are unwilling to reckon w/ the severity of the Creation, as I said earlier, could easily take these episodes in the Ra contact as indicative of a far darker orientation that I think is warranted.  

If we're honest with ourselves, I think we'll admit that we all often make sweeping judgments in our survey of a diverse body of information.  There's a lot to choose from in the realm of metaphysical information, and I'm sure we all have pet peeves and turn offs that disqualify potentially insightful stuff.  For example, just because L/L Research's criteria for reliable channeling are not always followed by other channels does not mean they cannot bring through valuable information.  I'm sure some find the Confederation's message downright boring and trivial, and that doesn't make them shallow and us the serious ones.  It just means infinity is actually composed of infinite aspects, which is why we need it all.

My point is to encourage us to cultivate an understanding attitude towards those who reject the material for any reason, to try to put ourselves in their shoes and understand the objections.  We'll be better advocates for the Confederation's underlying philosophy if we balance that severity within.  We can't expect every single reader to be careful or sympathetic readers of our favorite body of work, but empathizing with them will help make sure we can nevertheless show them the love and respect that all deserve.
