For instance, that the 10 Commandments were negatively given, that Jesus killed a playmate when he was a child, and that Jesus was not greeted as a hero when he returned to Jerusalem.
For me there is no need to suggest that Ra was confusing thought forms and "reality", but I can see that it's an explanation that some may well find satisfying.
"Commandments negatively given" I thought simply meant that they are phrased in terms of a negative "thou shalt not" instead of "thou shalt." In the context of the conversation I thought that Mr. Elkins meant that a positive entity would not phrase guidelines as negations (more controlling). For example, the Laws of Confusion, Responsibility and so on are all phrased positively, so far as I can recall. I could be wrong about this, but that's how I've viewed it.
As to the larger question of to what degree Confederation entities have blended planetary, non-factual thought forms into their teachings would be an interesting question to follow up on. Perhaps there are less-than-obvious spiritual principles involved there?
