I enjoyed this book very much, and have read it twice already. There are some really interesting (and deep) spiritual concepts which the author conveys to the reader, and there's also much overlap with the Ra material.
I think APeacefulWarrior's post above with regard to black & white thinking is so true, and made me smile.
The twelve sets of opposite characteristics in the book are:
keeping silent — talking
receptivity — resistance to influence
obeying — ruling
humility — self confidence
lightning-like speed — circumspection
to accept everything — to be able to differentiate
ability to fight — peace
caution — courage
to possess nothing — to command everything
to have no ties — loyalty
contempt for death — regard for life
indifference — love
All in all I consider the author as someone who is very skilled at conveying her understanding of 'elusive' spiritual concepts to the reader. I use the word "elusive" because 3rd density is not the density of understanding.
Ra Wrote:The advantage of space/time is that, working in darkness with a tiny candle, one may correct imbalances.
From memory I can only recall one or two instances of erroneous information, or "distortions" as Ra would say.
This is the first:
Initiation Wrote:In the meantime the great initiate (Moses) is 'on the mountain' and speaking 'face to face with God'. He is in the very highest state of consciousness, identical with God. He is the bearer of the will of God. It is God's will that he proclaim the new ideas to his people through two religious symbols, the sacrificial lamb, symbol of the constellation of the Ram, and the two tablets with God's ten commandments, symbol of the constellation of the Balance.
From Ra we know that Moses wasn't speaking 'with God' or any positive entity, as no positive entity will ever say "thou shalt" or "thou shalt not"...
Ra material Wrote:Questioner: Can you tell me the origin of the Ten Commandments?
Ra: I am Ra. The origin of these commandments follows the law of negative entities impressing information upon positively oriented mind/body/spirit complexes. The information attempted to copy or ape positivity while retaining negative characteristics.
And the other place where I didn't agree with the author, was when her son was going through a spiritual crisis.
Initiation Wrote:I know it's more important for him not to lose his soul than his body!
Someone can't "lose their soul", a soul is what they are, so that's the other instance where I didn't agree with the author, but these few tiny little things don't detract from the great spiritual adventure that the author has embarked upon over many lifetimes, and the spiritual wisdom she imparted as a result.

These days when I listen to people around me with their hard and fast ideas/positions/opinions on matters and their ever sacred cows, I'm always reminded of Jesus saying "empty your cup".
