Short version of my story:
I was introduced to Ra at a very young age, around 6 or 7. My mom was into alternative spirituality and New Age stuff. She never forced any of it on me and didn't share much, but she randomly mentioned one day about beings speaking through humans, and she mentioned specifically Ra and Seth.
I was extremely curious about it then but wasn't really aware or mature enough to know how to ask about it, but it has stuck with me my entire life. She sort of fell away from her spirituality and I went through motions of extreme atheism and rejecting spirituality completely. Four or five years ago I was in a cushy situation in life, not working many hours and having plenty of time to enjoy myself and spend time contemplating. I'd stare at the stars for hours, and doing this caused me to feel something deep inside myself that started my seeking. Around this same time a person was attracted into my life who was going through the same sort of beginning stages of awakening. We'd discuss philosophy and cosmic spirituality and all sorts of stuff. My mind was being blown open by lots of things he showed me.
Through my whole life up to this point, the idea of Ra never really left my mind. I'd try to look it up every once and a while without success, mostly before google was a common tool. I didn't know that this was called "channeling" and information about the Egyptian god was very prevalent, not much helpful. This stuck in my mind but never really connected it to spirituality at all, just something that was a consistent curiosity throughout my life.
One day my new friend came over and showed me a video which mentioned The Law of One, channeled by Ra. It was like a lightning strike and a moment of clarity...I decided I would see my mom and ask her about this.
When I did, she took me to her collection of packed away books, boxes upon boxes in her garage. I thought it was going to take forever to find these books, but the first box we pulled down, there they were right on top: Law of One, books 1-4.
My awakening process from this point is another long story. I found the forums after I read all of the books, not realizing this organization was still around. I lurked for a long time before Gary posted a thread for the 30th Anniversary of the Ra Contact, asking for notes of gratitude to be put into a book to give to Jim and Carla as a gift. I registered to offer my note and then started participating a bit. My involvement with L/L Research has been a pretty magical story since then.
