Thanks so much for your very kind words, Nicholas, and I can feel the excitement in your message all the way from here! A joy shared is definitely a joy doubled. But my main reason for posting is to document this process in order to derive, hopefully, some general understandings that others may find helpful.
I Googled up the Ra quote you mentioned and read Ra's entire response (17.2). Unless I am mistaken, you may be suggesting that this is "enlightenment"?
That's a difficult question to address, because "enlightenment" is such a confusing term that there is an entire magazine whose name had been for years, literally, "What is Enlightenment?" (recently renamed, it appears). I certainly don't "know all there was to be known", as Buddha allegedly did. Nor do I feel miraculously different -- although, despite the clearing-out process still ongoing, there have been definite, definite changes. I think more than anything it's important to maintain perspective and humility - even if I got a turbo-boost past my inner obstacles, the road to God's perfection is infinitely long. I'm simply grateful to have more peace and more insight, and hopefully to document this so that it may help others. I don't feel it's necessarily helpful to assign specific terms to this event. Just another, clearly very major step on a long journey of many surprises!
When the dust settles a bit, I'll post another update!

Quote:17.2 Questioner: Is it possible to help an entity to reach fourth-density level in these last days?
Ra: I am Ra. It is impossible to help another being directly. It is only possible to make catalyst available in whatever form, the most important being the radiation of realization of oneness with the Creator from the self, less important being information such as we share with you.

We cannot offer shortcuts to enlightenment. Enlightenment is of the moment, is an opening to intelligent infinity. It can only be accomplished by the self, for the self. Another self cannot teach/learn enlightenment, but only teach/learn information, inspiration, or a sharing of love, of mystery, of the unknown that makes the other-self reach out and begin the seeking process that ends in a moment, but who can know when an entity will open the gate to the present?
