A good question.
Some food for thought...
In a positive and open scenario (STO), one cannot learn for another, as learning is a process in which the learnee (this word should exist - actually now it does!) actively chooses. The teacher will offer their notions and the learnee takes on board what they choose.
Telling a child they will burn in hell forever if they do not worship Jesus is an STS - fear based - means of infringing upon the free will of another. This fear causes a reaction; submission of will and independence of thought. The child, in this state of fear, then looks externally for guidance on how to survive (and hence, a strong read ray blockage from an early age).
Having said that, one could consider that any child who is in school and does not want to be there is having their free will infringed upon by their parents and the school organisation. The proverbial can of worms :¬)
A quick side note - remember that STS entities on this planet have purposely witheld this kind of empowering information for centuries. They have done this to keep people in a state of fear, and hence control. It is the advent of the Internet that has enabled this information to spread and become readily available to a large proportion of the world.
I posted this in the inspiration quotes thread, it's worth sharing here due to it's relevance...
Back to your question - it has, by the means you mentioned yourself; elements in various philosophies. The Ra Material was unique in the fact the specifics of the group allowed unconscious contact at a very fine frequency of thought.
Don, being a very intelligent and dedicated seeker, allowed much information to surface due to his questions. Had another person been asking questions, the material could have been entirely different. Although very comprehensive, it was limited by Don's questions. Hence, one should not take this material as the only useful information available in the world.
Bashar, for example, is a 4D entity who gives just as specific information about the nature of the universe. His messages are more directed towards methods of self empowerment and actions (whereas Ra was more about the descriptive information). There are many complementary teachings that the Law of One does not cover, under the encompassing notion that we are all one.
This is why it's advisable not to follow just one source in a blinkered manner - one can be limited to the flavour of that source. Following the Ra Material and treating it as the direct word of the Creator, ignoring all others, is akin to religious zealots who "spreads the word of God". They too, are missing out on a wealth of teachings from various sources that can help one in life.
Especially so when one has not experienced anything contained in the material. I am of the impression that wisdom is gained through personal experience and intellect is gained through understanding other peoples experiences. One should hold caution when promoting the experience of others, regardless of the source of the material, as experience empowers a much more solid foundation of faith.
Back onto particular people, Jesus taught the Law of One through parables/metaphors. His words were chosen very purposefully as to not 'force' learning onto people, rather to get them to open their minds/hearts and find meaning themselves. This is how one can direct others on the path of self discovery/wisdom.
Buddha was the same, his messages were about unity, oneness, joy etc. As always, his words were flavoured by his personality. When people find this enlightened state, the persona seems to reflect one of peace and humility, offering words to invoke the seeker from inside, rather than direct in a schoolroom fashion.
This is the case with many masters and guru's both in the past and alive today. The impetus is to ignite the fire within each soul, generate that spark that leads the spirit to the self, asking inwardly, and most importantly experiencing it for the self, rather than be told of the experience.
Spirituality, to me, is looking internally for answers, rather than externally. Seeking externally removes the innate power each has within, seeking internally empowers the self with wisdom and experience.
This would explain why enlightened people always help people by getting them to search within, rather than hand them a study guide.

Quote:...I’ve never heard of any teacher in recorded history having espoused a philosophy or cosmology quite like the Law of One (though I’ve crossed paths with virtually every element of the Law of One in other philosophies, excepting the viability of the STS path).
Presupposing that there have been entities who have known and become the One in planet Earth's history (as I believe there have), why has nothing quite like the Law of One been communicated?

Bill Hicks Wrote:The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while.
Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people.
"Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real."
It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok...
But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love.
The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
