Humanity should respect animals.

[Tenet Nosce]

I acknowledge the Law of One, as proposed by the Ra material, in my individual understanding and comprehension of it, and with the understanding that Ra is also restricted to those same limitations.

Let me ask you TN, do you accept the Ra material on faith that Ra has spoken complete fact and truth without possibility for mistake or misunderstanding on their part? If so, then you afford Ra, a group of individual thought processes, an omniscient attribute that contradicts their very essence.

There is a distinction to be made between the Law of One and the Ra Material. The Law of One is something I take, upon faith, to be a fact and an objective truth. The Ra Material is something I take to be a very interesting philosophy, and one that appears to be rather cohesive, but ultimately subjective.

The Law of One simply states that All is One. There is only One Consciousness; One Thing. There is only One of Us here.

The Ra material is the philosophy built up around the Law of One that is espoused by Ra. Ra, as an evolving being, certainly has limitations and thus the potential to make mistakes and have misunderstanding. On top of this is the potential for distortion of or by the channel, or students of the material.

Personally, the philosophy I have chosen is monism. This says, when the One became the Two, it did not cease to be the One.

And that very paradox is the Mystery, which by chasing, evolves The All.

Yes, exactly. But the One is still One. The Two is an illusion employed by the One to evolve through self-experience.

The Ra Material further suggests that in order to evolve beyond third density physicality, we must contemplate the paradox of Unity. That is to say- we must gaze out at the seeming external "Other" and seek to understand how this "Other" is actually a projection of the unrealized Self.

That is to say, it isn't enough to simply outwardly "serve" in order to evolve beyond the need for a flesh-and-blood vehicle. We can be nice and helpful to others, or be kind to the planet, but if we do not use these experiences as an opportunity to contemplate the Mystery- to seek to understand the fundamental Unity of all that exists- then we will continue to be bound to the cycle of death and rebirth into the flesh.

Our quest is to understand The One.

Yes, but in order to do this we must acknowledge that the Two is an illusion, i.e. that there is no real distinction between "self" and "other."

This is why the path of the disciple is characterized by: I AM THAT. To look upon the world- every human being, every tree, every drop of water or blade of grass- and say I AM THAT.

We could also look upon the world and say: THAT I AM. This is the so-called "negative path."

We disagree only in what you would suggest as conclusion.

What is it that you believe I have suggested as a conclusion?
