I am new here, so forgive me if I sound quite unpolished regarding the Ra Law of One material.
I have a question that perhaps someone can commiserate with me. Carla notes that she and Jim felt that Don was psychotic, a very serious mental condition. Instead of leaving him alone to sort things out, why didn't they take him to a psychiatrist in Louisville? You don't help someone who is psychotic by leaving that person alone, especially if he is suffering spiritual attack. I do realize that in the early 80's there may have been fear of a psychiatrist's judgment of the entire Ra phenomena as some sort of shared delusion. But from experience, I can verify that such a doctor could have saved Don's life.
In 2010 I had a class nervous breakdown. My symptoms were similar to Dons. But I did have presence of mind to know that I needed external help since nothing internal (prayer, meditation, visualization, affirmation...) helped at all. I found an amazing psychiatrist who for the next 3 years led me through a review of my subconscious. He helped me acknowledge the source of fear and anxiety, bringing me back to sanity (at least as we humans currently define this term). Yes, I was given medications upfront to balance my mind, since this was necessary to calm me to the point where I could do interactive therapy (it is hard to to therapy when you are bouncing off the walls).
OK. It was another time. But if only they had asked for medical therapeutic help (the medications could have brought Don back to a relative calm while therapy could have healed him).
But supposedly Don appeared to Carla a few days after his death and seemed happy as a clam (an expression from the past that seems to imply that someone at some time shared consciousness with a clam!).
