The political correctness of Ra and the Confederation

[caycegal]

Well, I think this whole conversation is dancing around what's probably one of the most uncomfortable aspects of the LOO for many people who dig into it:  It provides no objective ethics or morality, aside from recognition of Oneness.  In fact, Ra's comments about the inevitability of eventually abandoning polarity all together directly imply that no matter what someone thinks is "right" or "good," it's just another set of distortions.

What we think of as physical reality is basically just a sandbox playground for experiences of all sorts.  Entities are effectively free to try out different approaches, different mixtures of polarity, and different styles of living solely as their own desires to grow and learn dictate.  Even if they do something that ends up causing great harm to themselves or others, there's no punishment.  They're healed on the other side and then free to try again.  (See also: Ra's comments about Hitler.)

But that's a tough idea for a lot of people to swallow, especially when nearly every major philosophy on Earth, from Sikhs to Objectivists, is predicated on it being the best or the most righteous way.  The LOO says "Nope, they're all pretty much equal."

Although I can't quote the material from Ra, I do recall instances of his encouraging his listeners to follow the path of love, light and service to others.  However, there are other paths to follow which lead up the same mountain.  LOO, in my opinion, appeals to a somewhat limited group of aspirants who are very mixed left and right brain, who love both technology and spirituality, who have a very rational bent.  From a rational point of view, if God is infinite and eternal, then God must include everything, n'est-ce pas?  If one is attracted to, say, yogic meditation, one doesn't even need to think about such things, and a different type of person is drawn to that path.

My personal situation is that I am drawn to most of the paths that include love of the light, and also to Taoism, which, I suppose, is more neutral.  (Even Taoism focuses on beauty - esp. the beauty of nature.)  However I would not be interested in, say, an Eastern Martial Arts approach to spirituality.  Maybe I come of Lemurian stock!

I have had dreams about attempting to escape from those who seemed to be of negative polarity.
