Something I've realized about this material...

[Steppingfeet]

In some ways I agree with the OP. It's certainly incredibly profound material. However, there's a lot of dross with the gold. The extraordinariness and unverifiability of many of the claims, especially in the early books, and the difficulty of the language and the concepts mean that many give up before they really get started with the material. So I think Ra's decision to answer Don's questions as they did preserves free will rather than violating it.

I agree with βαθμιαίος's thoughts completely. To them I would add another safeguard for the perhaps less-than-developed seeker: the extent to which Ra often spoke in generalities.

And then submit 15.14 for consideration:

Ra: ...we can only say the material for your understanding is the self: the mind/body/spirit complex. You have been given information upon healing, as you call this distortion. This information may be seen in a more general context as ways to understand the self.

The understanding, experiencing, accepting, and merging of self with self and with other-self, and finally with the Creator, is the path to the heart of self. In each infinitesimal part of your self resides the One in all of Its power.

Therefore, we can only encourage these lines of contemplation, always stating the prerequisite of meditation, contemplation, or prayer as a means of subjectively/objectively using or combining various understandings to enhance the seeking process.

Without such a method of reversing the analytical process, one could not integrate into unity the many understandings gained in such seeking.
