Understanding Carla's challenge in the name of Christ

[βαθμιαίος]

Now that I think about my learning process, I remember that a study guide about the Law of One discussed the physical alignment as a metaphor. That guide might have been linked from David Wilcock's site, or one I found elsewhere. Perhaps I should set aside that idea as someone else's interpretation of the Law of One, rather than being present in the material itself.

I think Monica is right that it's an interpretation shared by Carla (and Jim). However, as far as I know it's not something Ra themselves said.

By the way, how is βαθμιαίος pronounced in English? I suspect that name might be Greek but in any event, it's a language I don't know.

I pronounce it Bahth-mee-eye-os, but I have to admit I don't really know. It's pidgin Greek that I got from Babelfish when I plugged in one of my favorite Ra quotes. See my profile for a fuller explication.

What I wonder is whether there was a conscious attempt to initiate channeling to fill in the gap after Ra, or did the subsequent contacts just start happening?

L/L was channeling other entities all throughout the Ra contact years. If you go to their site and browse by year you can see the other sessions from the early '80s. After the Ra contact ended I think it may have taken a while for Carla (and Jim) to get over the grief of Don's death, but they had never stopped channeling other entities. However, the Q'uo contact did begin after the Ra contact ended and was/is in many ways a continuation of it, through conscious channeling rather than trance.

I didn't take "I find the idea... ridiculous" as any kind of personal rejection or disrespect. It felt to me like discussion of the ideas, with kindness and respect for the people in the discussion. This was exactly the kind of discussion I was hoping to find here, so thank you!

I'm glad; it certainly wasn't meant to be disrespectful. Perhaps "implausible" would have been a better choice of words than "ridiculous".

My question is about how Carla's challenge relates to David's channeling of his spiritual guidance called Ra, but not necessarily the same Ra or same version/density/timeline of Ra as Carla channeled. As my question is based on Carla's work I'd really like to ask it here, but if I should take the question to David's forum then I'll do so.

I think this is a legitimate question but not one I'm qualified to answer. I will note that there is a long thread here on David's work, with many opinions expressed.
