So that Ra might be thinking to him/itself "yes yes alright whatever you want to hear is true, just lets get back to the basic spirituality material please!" One of the earlier sessions Don actually asks Ra if they intentionally weave mis-information in to their responses to uphold laws of confusion, but they respond in the affirmative that they "do not intentionally do this".
Hi Lavazza,
Well, I wouldn't have put it in those exact words, but yes... I do think that essentially what you say happened on several occasions especially during Book I. As you further your studies in the subsequent books, I think you'll see a much more harmonious relationship between Don's questions and Ra's answers. I do not think that Ra intentionally included mis-information though. Rather, he simply answered in a way that would not infringe Don's free will. I think that this is a very important aspect of the material, and you really must bear in mind that the Law of One books were generated within the context of a conversation between Ra and Don. As such, there may be many nuances to the discussion, questions, and answers that are not recorded in the black and white of the book. I think that this is most an issue during the discussion of transitory material, so I tend to discount all of it.

Obviously there are ground breaking principals and bits of "lost" information that are extremely interesting. But there are also those areas that do not resonate, and/or are (I am willing to venture) completely false. Such as, again, some of the responses in the 'fragments' section. Lets take an extreme example of mis-information, the existence of moon bases. In Carla's commentary this is explained as 'de-tuning' of the instrument with transitory questioning. The idea being in short that Ra has to resign the answering to other (negative?) entities who are happy to dictate any sort of fantastical response. Is the Law of One such a body of work that one "wrong" (so to speak) response to a question could invalidate the rest? And if not, why?
I do not think that Ra ever resigned control of the instrument during any of the sessions. As you'll see in Book III, the nature of the contact with Carla was just to intimate for that. I do agree with the idea of de-tuning, though. When transitory questions were asked, it caused the radio that was Carla to drift off signal some. At that point, it could have picked up any noise that was flowing around.

And indeed this is probably the best road map for any channeled or other spiritual information. But then are we not more or less in a position to simply say ye or nay to anything we wanted? Is the Law of One intended to be that subjective? If so- I'm happy to cross out the existence of the STS path. It doesn't resonate to me... yet to do that seems to me to be a great disservice to the information on the whole. So how can we ignore / cut anything out?
I agree that personal resonance is key, and this may surprise you, but I say that if STS doesn't resonate with you, then GREAT! Set it aside. You really can live just fine in this 3D world without it. And who knows, you may be right! Then again, you may find that as time passes, the idea begins to resonate with you. There is nothing that says you won't resonate to different things over time. Don't try to get the cart before the horse, take it one step at a time. Remember that you are acting in service to others, not in service to the Law of One Books that were created by 3D creatures.

And fine questions they are! But I do hope that you are not losing sleep over them.
