However, wouldn't it be fair to say that Ra believes in conspiracies?

Yes.

I don't think there can be any question that there are many conspiracies designed to increase the power of the few at the expense of the many. That is a basic aspect of service-to-self work at this time.

Of course.

The question is what the most appropriate response to that reality is, and there I agree that meditation, balancing, and working with catalyst are essential and fundamental. For me, Ra's casual acknowledgment that a technological breakthrough is possible (indeed, has already been achieved) increased my awareness of our potential. Focusing on who is denying us that potential is not necessarily helpful, but awareness of the potential may be, especially if it encourages inventors, engineers, scientists, and theorists to push beyond the limits of the current conventional wisdom.

My position with respect to conspiracies has never been that they don't exist, or that they somehow should not be investigated. It's when one takes a particular conspiracy idea which is merely seen to be plausible, a possibility, and claim it to be true (historically, currently) and, from such a premise, divisive action to 'correct' the fabricated imbalance is taken - by promoting or acting upon such a fundamental dishonesty.

What is morally wrong is the perception that the ends are seen to justify the means in order to fulfill an agenda. The ends are getting people to 'wake up' to some 'now-exposed' reality 'X' using the utterly dishonest vehicle of a guessed or imagined idea. Which of course is made compelling by free-association with and appeal to internal symbols of mystery, power, and transcendence. The needlessly confused premise can not be excused, because there are always real alternatives coming from and bridging to something from actual, less 'tainted', disciplined experience, substantiated, more accepting, balanced and viable.
