Colorado meet-up?

[Gurulemj]

I am in the Longmont/ Boulder area and am wondering if anyone is interested in getting together for an informal monthly or bi-weekly meet up for conversation, discussion, and meditation? I can also travel to Denver on the bus if necessary. Thank you!

[Jade]

Hey! I live in the Springs, a bit a way but a monthly trip to Denver is hardly out of the question. I think there are a few other Coloradans here, too. One who doesn't post much anymore but would probably be interested in a meetup.

[Gurulemj]

Ok, let's see if anyone else responds in the next week or so and then try to get something planned. If the weather is good we can meet at a park or something like that outdoors, if not maybe a coffee shop?

[bodhidharma]

What were the end results? Were you able to meet? +1 on wanting to meet with others locally I'm also in Colorado Springs.

[Gurulemj]

Have not gotten any other replies. We can still meet up in Denver some time at a coffee or tea shop. Have you heard of the Mercury Cafe? They have a good herbal tea selection

[Jade]

Hi Guru and bodhi,

There are 5-6 of us in Denver/Colorado Springs that I am now aware of. I will work on getting us synched up.

[bodhidharma]

I would prefer to be able to meet where conversation isn't constrained by those within earshot, and hopefully after warm discussion there will be a group meditation offering light to the planet and anyone who needs it I just don't see any of that happening in a Coffee Shop. I can't as of yet think of a better place than someone's house.

Also, I would think the vast majority of wanderers don't formally know they are such and can be easily found in a local meditation group through meetup.com.

While I would thoroughly enjoy discussing LOO material with those who are familiar, I don't have desire to share the material with people who are not familiar with it.  Anyone following a genuine spiritual path who is working towards realization and manifesting that realization is already on the path the LOO can be more of a distraction than anything else.  I wish to keep an open mind about this as some day I could meet someone who I think should have this information available to them, but so far after having the LOO books in my possession for 24 years I've yet to.

I also sent you a pm yesterday, Guru, not sure if you got it.  There are the pins on the map on the connection page with several folks near you in Boulder/Denver that left their usernames and/or email addresses so you can contact them.

Thanks Jade on offering to put in some effort to bring us together.

Hi Bodhi -

We do have someone who has offered their house for a meeting place, they live on the very north side of Denver though - hardly central but still in mind as a possibility.

Also, I just checked with making a meetup.com group, and it costs money!! Boo. I'll be looking out for free alternative today (anyone have an idea??) Trying to avoid Facebook but it may be the most practical. I'll keep looking.

[Gurulemj]

I think you are right, that someone's house would be better. BTW, my last name is Gurule, fist is Michael and middle initial is J. I am definitely not a Guru! Ok, no that's cleared up, I should be able to make it to north Denver. I have really been getting into the Law of One deeply, especially sessions 35ish through 50 concerning balance, clearing blockages, etc. Scott Mandelkers talks about the sessions have also been very helpful. So yes, I also agree that it's better to already be familiar with the Law of One material and not try to introduce it to someone who is new to it. If you are attracted to it and it feels like something you have been looking for, then you may likely be a 6d wanderer, if not but you are still spiritual then you may be attracted to more heart centered information and channelling?

[bodhidharma]

Awesome a house has already been made available!  I don't mind a carpool to anywhere on the front range and I'd be more than happy to offer my house for a gathering.  I would be my honor to host such an event!

Yahoo groups is free (at least I think it is) I've used that in conjunction with the Colorado Mountain Club it was real easy to set up for everyone in the class.  We may be dealing with only 10-20 people perhaps email will suffice no need to do anything fancy?

I'm about to read sessions 27-50 in Book II so I'll be again familiarized with those topics.  Your point about heart centered information reminds me of Jack Kornfield vs more head centered information such as Ken Wilber.  I've often wondered who is more attracted to who?  What I like about both of them is that they even though they know about densities, wanderers, ufos, earth changes, etc... they keep their mouths shut and talk/write about the stuff that's really important and effective for spiritual growth.

I was contacted just the way Ra talks about when a friend of mine was having close encounters of a negative kind.  It was by my seeking that I received the LOO material in West Virginia at a retreat/interfaith conference when I briefly met Jim.  I figure any wanderer who needs the LOO will receive it and I don't need to be involved with spreading the word or anything like that.  I'm just an awkward social 6d wanderer who looks around me and sees 3d people who seem more spiritually advanced than myself with their relationships with others.  I'm constantly humbled for all I really know I'm the third grader hanging around a bunch of sixth graders because on certain levels it's true!

[Jade]

I made a meetup group through yahoo, I think I messaged everyone that I know from Colorado here with the link. Bodhi, your place is definitely closer to mine, since I live on the far south limits of the Springs, North Denver would be ~2hrs, but luckily Colorado road trips are rarely unenjoyable. We could probably take switch off and take turns if the group becomes regular. I'd offer my space but it is smallll, maybe next summer though we can have outdoor meetings here.

[bodhidharma]

Thanks for setting up the Yahoo group Jade I just joined hopefully you are enjoying the outdoors this weekend with the gorgeous weather.

As for offering spaces I have to laugh at what I offered in haste without thinking about what I have to offer!  My house is 888 square feet total so it's not going to comfortably fit that many people.  The offer still stands if we were wanting to gather it's quite cozy here.  The house was built in 1906 and has only one bathroom!

As for offering to carpool I must have been deeply unconscious as I have a two door jeep that hasn't had the backseat in it since the day I bought it back in '09.  The front seat has not been in the jeep for about three years now except when my brother came to visit.  I can haul +1 without much effort, but to haul +2 or +3 might be a stretch.

Something I read this morning from very end of session #36 with Ra was regarding wanderers being conscious of who they are.  Less than 10% know they are wanderers, about 50% have a well defined idea they are not of this 'insanity', about 15% are aware that something about them is different, with the remaining approximately 25% not having penetrated the veil.  Ra states it is to the first two groups that the Ra Material will make sense.

So what we have if that's all true is nearly half of the wanderers here won't even respond/benefit to the information given by Ra.  That jives with my intuition it was a nice surprise to read that this morning.  I wish the next question would have broken down the age ranges for each percentage I'm thinking many of the latter group are younger and haven't yet had adequate time to penetrate the veil.  So perhaps people to potentially share the Ra material with would be those who are in the 50% group and your intuition tells you that they could benefit.

Please let me know if this is something still on going. I am in Arvada.

[Jade]

Hey Kel - email me at mataaou@gmail.com (that goes for anyone interested in Colorado meetup.. or anything else I guess!) and I'll put you on the email list. We have a bunch of people in Colorado, but I don't think everyone is interested in meeting in a group... but a few are, and we have a location to meet. So it might happen some day!

[bodhidharma]

Hello Trevor I'm the one you contacted with regards to this 'group'.  Michael (gurulemj) seems like a great guy and lives near you in Westminster I suggest sending him a PM.  He was eager to meet up with others familiar with the LOO so I'd point you in his direction.

You are very fortunate to live where you do, which must be considered a sort of 'Mecca' for 21st Century spirituality.  The Ridhwan school only exists in Berkeley and Boulder, the Integral Institute is in Denver, and Naropa is close by just to name a few.  You won't be able to discuss LOO with regards to The Ra Material specifically, but if that's what you are wanting you may be placing too much importance on the material.

Doing some math with regards to Wanderers you'll find that it's somewhere around 1 in a 1000 Wanderers will actually receive the Ra Material.  Well over 99% of the Wanderers here on Earth don't know about the Ra Material and don't want to know about it either.  In my opinion, the LOO is better studied and found elsewhere using Ra as merely a supplement to the much more thorough teachings available from 3rd density folks who can communicate in 3rd density language the intricacies of 3rd density illusions to 3rd seekers.

Case and point: Ra has karma to undue because of Ra's ignorance about our species.  Many people were enslaved to build subsequent pyramids because Ra couldn't see what was going to happen.  Ra makes mistakes, although he/she/them wouldn't call it that.  Another solid example is in Book 4 Ra is obviously unduly excited to transmit info regarding the major arcana of the Tarot.  I'm not about to say that going that route of study is a complete waste of time, but it's very far from the most efficient use of time as has been studied with Jungian techniques vs newer more modern techniques.  Much of the tarot and symbols are useful for people who don't have written language, but nowadays you're better off reading Erikson, Wilber, Almaas, Becker, Berne, Perls, Rogers, etc...

Ra stated that placing too much importance on the material it becomes negative and I totally agree with that.  I don't know if Ra was able to undue much karma from the channeled material I think the social memory complex of Ra is relegated to having to take physical incarnations for the next 500 years or so until this harvest is finally complete.

You can also find many Wanderers by looking up spiritual groups on meetup.com.  You are in good company.  A LOO group may form in the front range area, but I kind of doubt it, and if it does I'm afraid many people within the group are going to be quite unbalanced.  My biggest disagreement with Ra is the skipping of the importance of the 3rd chakra in 3rd density and they favor the heart chakra, which is 4th density stuff.  Unless you know yourself, you can't move on to the next step.  Many folks attracted to this material want to bypass the hard work of knowing themselves, unlearning all that they have learned, and are really into just feeling good.  It's difficult to polarize when you think you're helping others, but you're actually only addressing your own issues, not theirs.  Compassion, true compassion, contains lots of 'wisdom' from 3rd chakra self-awareness.

The authors I listed are all Psychology Giants who have written great works regarding Identity and the Life Cycle, Object relations theory, ego formation in early childhood, script analysis, integral psychology and integral spirituality, transactional analysis, Gestalt therapy, dream work, etc...  It isn't sexy or glamorous, but spirituality is more about clearing out the trash put in our heads than improving ourselves.  Know yourself, accept yourself.  Ra says that and it's correct, but you need a 3rd density expert to unpack that for you if you're going to evolve.

I'm in Golden and would love to meet up at some point. I literally found this site 3 days ago and am through the roof. I think before I start inviting people over for a bbq I'd like to surf more of this site and get a better feel for everyone for a bit. I really thought I was a small person on an island with nobody to discuss this stuff with. So happy to see there are people near me!
