For me it's a tough question, but I'm equally unwilling to shy away from it.
Hi Lavazza,
The Law of One resonated with me because it was actually the most succinct compilation of the spiritual nuggets that I had gathered over 40 years of searching and study. In addition to being a pretty good users guide for this 3D vehicle, it also provided a framework or context that was consistent with my experiences. Add to that the fact that it provided an insight into one of the greatest nagging mysteries - that of how "evil" fits into the big picture - and it all just made sense. I remember that when I first started reading the Law of One, I was transfixed by the words Ra used to express himself. It's funny, but I found that I started thinking in that language and expressing myself internally using terms like "distortion" and dichotomies like teach/learn and learn/teach, time/space and space/time, etc. when analyzing a situation. I frequently use this "Spock voice" as I call it, to dispassionately evaluate what might otherwise be an "emotional" situation.
For me, I accept concepts to the extent they are useful to me to effect change in myself and my environment. This gets to the know/believe dichotomy that others have referred to. Belief is useless for effecting change, because belief is always founded on doubt, and doubt is the great dis-empowerer of the mind. I have found many, many concepts in the Law of One that are useful to me to effect change. I see many others that I am working to learn how to use, but have not figured out. It's kind of like walking into a fantastic workshop with amazing tools lining every wall. Included with each tool is a description of what it is used for, and the simple statement to "seek inside yourself for the user's manual". Even though I have not yet figured out most of these amazing tools, I "know" what they are for, and that I can unlock their secrets by allocating sufficient time, energy and intent to that purpose through inward contemplation and balancing.
Sorry if I've rambled a little, but there it is. Thanks for starting another interesting thread!
Love and Light,
