Before I get to the actual topic, I'd like to introduce myself. I've been referring to the Ra material from time to time to verify or satisfy my curiosity regarding various things I've noticed over the course of my life. And even less often, I would come here to see if any confusion I have come across regarding the Ra material was discussed here by others before me. Some questions were answered, some unanswered, and those unanswered I could live with except for just this one - which brings me to my topic:
For an average Joe, what practical aspects should I get involved in and how?
I have always been wanting to free up some time for personal development and now I finally have it. All I really need is a general guide, preferably using supportive information from the Ra material, that I can use as a crutch until I no longer need to consult the Ra material (to be self-sufficient with the Creator, if you will). I noticed that many people are particularly focused on discussing and debating the various topics in the Ra material, which is fine, but I am mainly focused on applying the Law of One in my life and actually experiencing it for myself, which I honestly think is a great thing to do whether or not one is a skeptic of this information; get in there, try something new, and see for yourself, right?
For starters, I have already confirmed from personal experience that fasting reduces excess nonsensical thoughts and allows me to be more lucid or clearheaded in my daily activities. In the Ra material, you could say I am one of those people not conscious enough to instantly clear my head of thoughts, and so I use fasting in an analogous way to rid my body and mind of anything excessive.
Diet and Fasting:
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link or psychological nudge for the body and the mind and spirit. Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance. In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet. The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products. These are those substances showing respect for the self. In addition, though this has not been mentioned, for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material. Again you see the value not to the body complex but used as a link for the mind and spirit. Thus self reveals self to self.
Ra also touches on diet which I had explored on my own to figure my Self out. I had tried going vegan for quite some time but quickly realized my body is not completely able to. Eating fish, modestly, is good enough for me. Other meats are often at risk for being tampered with hormones and steroids, not to mention the stress endured by the animals (selfishly speaking, peer-reviewed articles in popular science journals have shown numerous times that stress can result in negative physical effects, and selflessly speaking, I particularly do not support corporations that profit from killing animals in mostly inhumane ways), which to my belief, will carry on to consumer just like harmful chemicals would. But that's besides the point.
So to return to the topic, do you have any information (preferably from the Ra material) regarding what to be practiced and how? From my current understanding and research, I am going to probably lead myself into a short fasting period with apples (Ra had mentioned the credibility of Edgar Cayce and Cayce mentioned the digestive cleansing properties of apples), fast for a bit, and slowly return to a lighter diet which will change as I see fit. Of course, I will try to meditate as much as possible despite my current difficulty with clearing the mind, which perhaps will change subsequent to the fasting period. And most importantly, balancing, which I am also having difficulty in understanding (all I could find is that we need an understanding of the energy centers, but perhaps in the future I'll learn on my own how to balance them).
Meditation Techniques:
Questioner: Is there a best way to meditate?
Ra: I am Ra. No.
Balancing:
Questioner: How does an individual go about balancing himself? What is the first step?
Ra: I am Ra. The steps are only one; that is, an understanding of the energy centers which make up the mind/body/spirit complex. This understanding may be briefly summarized as follows. The first balancing is of the Malkuth, or Earth, vibratory energy complex, called the red-ray complex. An understanding and acceptance of this energy is fundamental. The next energy complex, which may be blocked is the emotional, or personal complex, also known as the orange-ray complex. This blockage will often demonstrate itself as personal eccentricities or distortions with regard to self-conscious understanding or acceptance of self.
The third blockage resembles most closely that which you have called ego. It is the yellow-ray or solar plexus center. Blockages in this center will often manifest as distortions towards power manipulation and other social behaviors concerning those close and those associated with the mind/body/spirit complex. Those with blockages in these first three energy centers, or nexi, will have continuing difficulties in ability to further their seeking of the Law of One.
The center of heart, or green ray, is the center from which third-density beings may springboard, shall we say, towards infinite intelligence. Blockages in this area may manifest as difficulties in expressing what you may call universal love or compassion.
The blue-ray center of energy streaming is the center which, for the first time, is outgoing as well as inpouring. Those blocked in this area may have difficulty in grasping the spirit/mind complexes of its own entity and further difficulty in expressing such understandings of self. Entities blocked in this area may have difficulties in accepting communication from other mind/body/spirit complexes.
The next center is the pineal or indigo-ray center. Those blocked in this center may experience a lessening of the influx of intelligent energy due to manifestations which appear as unworthiness. This is that of which you spoke. As you can see, this is but one of many distortions due to the several points of energy influx into the mind/body/spirit complex. The indigo-ray balancing is quite central to the type of work which revolves about the spirit complex, which has its influx then into the transformation or transmutation of third density to fourth density, it being the energy center receiving the least distorted outpourings of love/light from intelligent energy and having also the potential for the key to the gateway of intelligent infinity.
The remaining center of energy influx is simply the total expression of the entity’s vibratory complex of mind, body, and spirit. It is as it will be, “balanced” or “imbalanced” has no meaning at this energy level, for it gives and takes in its own balance. Whatever the distortion may be, it cannot be manipulated as can the others and, therefore, has no particular importance in viewing the balancing of an entity.
Please share any other practical information you have! Thanks!
EDIT: A couple ones I forgot to mention: Hidden_Hand (whom I believe as a credible source of information) had replied to a question regarding meditation and electronics, and the Ra material once mentioned somewhere that in order to be of service to others, you need to be making a positive impact on people and, in short, he is saying that you need to be out there mixing and mingling with everyone (I apologize for not being able to find that particular excerpt from the Ra material) in order to do so.
Meditation and Electronics:
You do work upon yourself, don't you? If not, now would be a good time to start. Sit in silence. Switch off all non essential electrical appliances. Eg; leaving the refrigerator on, would probably be a good idea. (The electromagnetic field they create disturbs your brainwave patterns, and makes it difficult for your mind to achieve the deeper alpha and theta states conducive with relaxing deeply and hearing your inner voice).
