Take what resonates and leave the rest

Why do you think Ra, Quo, and other entities who respect our free will admonish us repeatedly to believe only what resonates with us?

I agree with your take more or less. It's one thing to believe something is true; you accept it and then your mental model of the world takes it for granted without re-examining or challenging it again. It's another thing -- an entirely different mode of thought -- to understand that you believe it, that believing it doesn't make it true, or false, or right, or wrong. That because you believe it, you have a responsibility. You are in charge of the thoughts, feelings and actions generated by the choice believing. You have to decide what your response to those thoughts, feelings and actions are. You are "not allowed" (so to speak) to just treat the belief as a given and mold your experience around it in a passive manner.

Because there's no way for us to know and accept ourselves without understanding these choices we have made, the last thing Confederation sources would want to do is substitute their authority for our choice. It's not merely that that would be authoritarian; it's that we would not appreciate our beliefs as much if we didn't own them and reflect on them. The experience of belief is itself a form of catalyst, I'd argue, or at least the environment in which catalyst plays out.

Of course, there is catalyst as well in accepting a belief because an authority told you to believe it and then figuring out that that's no substitute for responsibility and volition. But given mankind's history with dictatorial, prescriptive religions, I think Confederation sources are wise to go the extra mile in pointing out our role in the game and our power.

There's probably some karmic dynamic at play, given the fact that Ra incurred responsibilities for interfering in human history before. Perhaps they can no longer afford the karma of people hanging on their every word, especially the more directly they speak of the illusion.
