Quote:My thought about the Law of One as equal to Unity consciousness would be put in a *In the Beginning there was* concept. Unity consciousness can be more individualized yet still remain in unity consciousnes because *In the Beginning there was*.
Of what value or meaning does, "in the beginning there was", add to the formulation?
Not for or against it, just wondering your position.
I do have a thought, though. "Beginning" may imply
time, and that may confuse contemplation of infinity, eternity, unity, and oneness.
Time and Space are, according to this philosophy,
constructs. They are systems of illusion through which evolution proceeds.
Within space and time it seems that there are beginnings and endings, but infinity/eternity being "outside", as it were, of time and space - that is to say, time-less and space-less - they don't have a chronology, or beginnings, or ends.
Party why it makes infinity impossible to grasp with the intellectual mind which is hardwired for, and indeed derivative of, space and time.
However, to the extent that you are describing events that happen in some sort of sequence or order, "beginning" has a lot of applicability. And Ra does describe what we might consider a "beginning" to creation, that is, infinity becoming aware.
It is a mystery that sends the mind into disorienting backspins, and a profound sense of awe.
Quote:At this point I have only begun to read the 'material', I'm not sure how to deal with what I am reading. I have a lot of questions and have decided to re-read Book 1 over again before I ask questions as to the content.
You'll find lots of other willing to chip in their insights into this similar questions here. Keep asking!
Quote:How can I view the state of this planet as saying there is no right or wrong, no disharmony etc.?
My limited, fallible take on this is that terms of "right" and "wrong" do have utility, meaning, and purpose within a limited range of
human experience: where morality and ethics intersect our decisions and perceptions. Our realm of experience, however, is a sub-set of a much greater reality.
From the greater perspective, nothing is ultimately "wrong"; conversely and consequently, nothing that is "right". Whatever individualized portions of consciousness decide to do with their consciousness - including the greatest distortions and perversions and inflicted sufferings and destructions - the Creator is experiencing itself in its full range of free will and infinite variety.
That an experience is *possible* indicates to my boxed-in-brain that it must be
desired, you might say, by the Creator.
It's a good question with much greater headway that can be made by greater minds than mine.
Good luck Enyiah!
