Quote:18.5 Questioner: Thank you. I have a question here that I will read: “Much of the mystic tradition of seeking on Earth holds the belief that the individual self must be erased or obliterated and the material world ignored for the individual to reach ‘nirvana,’ as it is called, or enlightenment. What is the proper role of the individual self and its worldly activities to aid an individual to grow more into the Law of One?”

Ra: I am Ra. The proper role of the entity is in this density to experience all things desired, to then analyze, understand, and accept these experiences, distilling from them the love/light within them. Nothing shall be overcome. That which is not needed falls away.

The orientation develops due to analysis of desire. These desires become more and more distorted towards conscious application of love/light as the entity furnishes itself with distilled experience. We have found it to be inappropriate in the extreme to encourage the overcoming of any desires, except to suggest the imagination rather than the carrying out in the physical plane, as you call it, of those desires not consonant with the Law of One; this preserving the primal distortion of free will.

The reason it is unwise to overcome is that overcoming is an unbalanced action creating difficulties in balancing in the time/space continuum. Overcoming thus creates the further environment for holding onto that which apparently has been overcome.

All things are acceptable in the proper time for each entity, and in experiencing, in understanding, in accepting, in then sharing with other-selves, the appropriate description shall be moving away from distortions of one kind to distortions of another which may be more consonant with the Law of One.

It is, shall we say, a shortcut to simply ignore or overcome any desire. It must instead be understood and accepted. This takes patience and experience which can be analyzed with care, with compassion for self and for other-self.

When Alice went tumbling down the rabbit-hole into Wonderland, she entered a world of opposites. A world where that which was previously unified, became split into seeming dualities.

Like Alice, we have tumbled down the rabbit hole into Wonderland. The social memory complex known as Ra is not in Wonderland. Thus our conundrum.

It amuses me to observe, at this particular stage of the game, certain misconceptions about the Ra Material still doing loopty-loops around some of our communications. Of course, these are misconceptions according to my perception, which from a vantage point here in Wonderland, appears limited and fallible.

Nevertheless, I would like to share my fallible opinions on a few things. I offer them in, what I believe to be, the true spirit of service. I seek with this thread to "catch those who stumble and set them aright so that they may continue into the light."

I no longer wish to argue about these fallible opinions, or do I care about proving myself right. If the reader determines my opinions to be merely a further stumbling block, then I would ask them to discard these words and seek according to their own inner guidance.

Let us begin at the beginning:

1.1 (Relistened) Wrote:Questioner: [Do you have a specific purpose, and if so, could you tell us something of what your purpose is?]

Ra: I am Ra. We communicate now. We, too, have our place. We are not those of the Love or of the Light. We are those who are of the Law of One. In our vibration the polarities are harmonized, the complexities are simplified, and the paradoxes have their solution. We are one. That is our nature and our purpose.

1.6 (Relistened) Wrote:Questioner: (The question was lost because the questioner was sitting too far from the tape recorder to be recorded.)

Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that the universe is infinite. This has yet to be proven or disproven, but we can assure you that there is no end to your selves, your understanding, what you would call your journey of seeking, or your perceptions of the creation.

That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. You have seen simple examples of unity. You have seen the prism which shows all colors stemming from the sunlight. This is a simplistic example of unity.

In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.

May we enunciate this law in more detail?

Wanting to get some feedback/thoughts from you guys about rays.

Here is an attempt to define rays: A ray is the vibrational signal or energy frequency associated with a particular level of density. A chakra is a transformer in my body that receives and transmits the energy of the corresponding ray.

Thus the 6th chakra is the energy transformer that connects me with 6th ray energy.

Okay, that was the best I could come up with so far. Would love to have my thinking/understanding stimulated or clarified by your thoughts.

Hey guys,

I ran across a three hour documentary that is intended to debunk many popular "ancient aliens" theories, as proposed by the History channel program of the same name. Personally I'm not a fan of debunking. generally, as it has become known today- i.e. usually an exercise in cynicism and competitive debate. However this one piqued my interest as it is fairly "polite" and even handed- and because it deals directly with an area of great interest to me, which is the Great pyramid of Giza.

In a way, the parts of the Ra material where the pyramids are discussed are my least favorite, because by speaking so specifically about them makes the material more assailable, since there are more things we can try and verify. This makes me uncomfortable because part of my worldview can now be proven incorrect by comparing it to reality.

Anyways, the documentary goes as far as it can in explaining how the pyramid could have been constructed by humans, and although it doesn't do a complete job in doing so- there are several things which are still "mysterious", it does put a pretty significant dent in the alien hypothesis. I remember a part of the Ra material where Don asks why it appears that the pyramid is constructed (out of many blocks rather than one solid rock), and it is answered that they did not want to infringe on freewill- they wanted it to at least be explain-ably made by humans. But I have some issue with this idea- it's the exact same explanation used by the most hard core biblical creationists to explain the size and speed of the universe. 'Hey, god created everything in this exact size and at this exact speed, everything already cratered, looking millions of years old, at exactly 6000 years ago...' etc. It's an argument that can't be honestly argued because it's impossible to disprove a negative.

It leads me to believe that most of what Ra spoke about concerning pyramid construction may be wrong. But I'd like to hear what you think too. It's rare when this happens, but I really want to be wrong Here is the documentary link, you can jump right to 22:24 to find the pyramid section, which lasts about 12-15 minutes.

Would love to hear your thoughts

Hi all,

I have a question, even as I sit here reading this for the 5th time Im still unclear about the answer....ok,

Ras explanation of creation is very confusing to me, I think alot of the reason for me is the language barrier,alot of the times I feel like Im reading a tongue twister or other times I feel I got the explanation but then some of the wording throws me off and I second guess myself and Ill try looking for definitions of things and by the time I figure them out Ive forgotten what It was I wondering about in the first place...hehehe....is it just me or does it take some getting use to? Iam very new(6mth) to this and am reading book again (2nd x) have feeling wont be the lastime, alot of info to process but ANYWAYS...sorry for rambling...my question is ........

Is the creation explanation anything like The M - Theory?

Im not sure if its because I watch alot of the history ch program the universe and its in my head or if I do see some reseamblance of it here?

Will somebody please clear this up for me before I go mad....mad I say...haha...I appreciate any help and thanks soooo much for your patient and understanding, I think I may need "The Law of One" book for dummys...hehehehe

I remember reading in the Ra material about a transition occurring between 2001 and 2011. I can see the 2001 change both material and spiritual. Was something supposed to occur during 2011 that didn't? Did something occur that I didn't perceive. Was it just delayed?

If there was a discussion about this, please send me a link because I have yet to figure out how to look up older discussions.

I don't believe in any religion but as a human being I feel the need for some kind of spiritual practice. What do you guys do to fill this need with the Law of One? e.g. how can I replace prayer or going to church?

Hi, Sitchin wrote that the Annunaki Marduk was Ra. How does that fit with LOO Ra ?

this is a quote that was from Ra, and then expanded upon by Q'uo.

Quote:100.9 Ra stated in the last session that the limit of the viewpoint is the source of all distortions

Quo Wrote:in order to discuss this we must move back to examine that concept of distortion. This is the way that we use the word distortion. To our way of thinking, all that there is in the manifested world is distortion. The lack of distortion, when absolute, describes intelligent infinity, the Creator Itself, in Its unpotentiated state. The first distortion which approaches the unmanifest intelligent infinity is free will. This produces that manifestation of the Logos which is known to this instrument as intelligent energy and known to your scientists as the photon, or light. When we come to you in the love and in the light of the infinite Creator we are coming to you in those distortions, for were we to come to you as undistorted Creator we would have no being in a manifested universe. We would be unable to act in any way, for all would be one in an absolute sense.

Quo Wrote:So when we gaze at the distortion of a particular personality shell, at the systems of energy blockage and bafflement which causes what seem to others as an unbalanced or distorted personality, we gaze upon distortions of distortions of distortions. We gaze upon systems of energy, all of which are distortions of the one great original Thought which is Love. To us, then, that a person is distorted in such and such a way, in the context of an incarnation, is not a bad, a wrong, or an incorrect thing. For we are aware that each entity before incarnation selects the personality shell which contains those gifts and those physical, mental, emotional and spiritual limitations which will create biases or distortions, which will then set up both the personal learning for that entity for that incarnation and the path of service or paths of service that become available to the entity during incarnation, given that various systems of distortion do indeed prove to stand the test of incarnational time.

I have seen quite a bit in the Ra material about magic and magical, but I would like a simple explanation of what "magic" means in this context. I am NOT talking about the Tarot card, the Magician.

However, now that I've mentioned the Tarot, a second question would be why does Ra speak so much about the Tarot and the cards in it. Is it perhaps because Carla and her group are especially interested in this "distortion"?

To me Tarot and Astrology have meaning perhaps because there are so many thought forms built up around them in the mass consciousness.

Getting back to my first question, can anyone explain - in very simple terminology - what Ra might mean by "magic"?
