1) can you explain, as simply as possibly, what the energy centers are?
Previous answers were very relevant. The nexus at which the downward and upward energy meet create centers of awareness of self. I would add that it is important to understand the relationship with the densities as the energy centers are basically tuned to the 7 subdensities of our 3rd density, and so we have a taste of or a connexion with every densities inside of ourselves. The self can be understood as a reflection of the logos in how the octave is split. So how consciousness evolves outside of ourselves reflect how consciousness evolves inside of ourselves. Self is the barrier and the reflection between internal and external energy.
2) given Ra's strict answers, could they be considered as 'homophobic' in the modern world, are at least miscomprehending the diverse nature of human sexuality on this planet?
Homo''phobic'' implies there is some kind of fear of the concept. I don't think that is the case.
3) are there any obvious internal contradictions within the Ra Material?
Maybe someone can help me there, I just can't seem to find the quote I'm searching for or the exact words but Ra mentioned somewhere the paradox or contradiction or even maybe the hypocritical position of attempting to teach somewhere but that they kept doing it because it was both requested and necessary for us and for them. Although ultimately there are no paradoxes.
4) why is the Ra Material considered by many to be one of the most pure and undiluted transmissions?
I can only speak for myself, but the way I like to say it is that even if it was the biggest hoax ever and it was all Carla speaking, the core of the message would still be true.
5) if there were 2 other single volume books that complement this Material, what would they be?
I don't have an answer for this one.
6) can you describe the service-to-others path and the service-to-self path in straightforward, practical language?
This is probably the most difficult question as there are many aspects to a proper understanding of this concept. If we only focus on the ''paths'', positive polarity is gained through acceptance of both self and other selves and negative polarity is gained through control, repression and denial of other selves and of the green ray center of the self.
7) is there any way to gain further certainty whether one is a Wanderer or dual-activated? or does one just 'know'?
I tend to think that this really doesn't matter for two reasons. One being that all is one, which means we all are of an infinite nature. We all have no begining or end, just circumstances. The second being that it is neither necessary to be a wanderer to grasp these concepts nor to be of service, and it is also not necessary to be a wanderer to access higher density parts of the self. We are all the logos and our consciousness spread across every densities. We are here because we choose to. No past needs to define you. Wanting to help is just the natural way of being. If you consider yourself a wanderer, that's a process of identification, which means that thinking you are wanderer means you are also not many other things. But we are all things. There is nothing that we are not. That is why I advise against any identification process whatsoever and instead focus on your individuality, your beingness. What is it that being you can bring to this universe? That requires no past, no future, only now.
8) are there any good resources to help study the archetypes, as described by Ra?
Meditation, contemplation. Discussing them can help, but really we all seem to relate to them in very different ways. It's best to come with your own realizations and maybe just get inspired by others's thoughts. The LOO is the best source of information I would say. It's just something that needs time.
9) Ra advocates the use of dreams and meditation for self-reflection. Is there anything that you would tell yourself about these practices to the version of yourself 2 years ago?
I suppose I can only say what I would tell myself right now. When meditating, try less. Stillness is what matters most. For dreaming, I can only say that my experience with salvia was a very intense journey into time/space and my dreams or astral travel very very vivid. If that is something that speaks to you, it's worth trying. But it's only a tool to help you do it by yourself. It's a window, not the whole thing.
10) has the Ra Material had any negative effects in your life?
Not really. Maybe it's a little hard to relate to other people who aren't interested in these kind of subjects but it already was to a certain extent.
11) what, in your opinion, is the most misunderstood/misapplied concept in the Law of One material?
There are many: What is love? What is Wisdom? What is service? What is acceptance? What is control? What is freewill? What is Karma? What is compassion?
All these concepts seems increadibly bound by our yellow ray understanding and languages. We absolutely need to be aware of the barrier of language when it comes to these core principles.
12) what role does physical exercise play in the maintenance of the body complex? if at all.
Physical exercise is to the body what teach/learning and meditation are to the mind. The body absorbs and radiate energy from and to it's environment. Without movement, energy get stuck and problems start to arise.
13) Don asked many questions about the nature of Healing. What passage has illuminated the nature of healing the most for you?
14) what is the role of community (digital, or otherwise) in your journey of seeking?
The sharing of thoughts is a very valuable process and one that open one's mind to many areas and especially to learn/teaching and teach/learning. It is also very helpful in order to experience healing. The nature of duality provides a wonderful tool for self discovery and exploration. Although I like to be cautious of the term community. Usually group thinking distort the fundamentals of ideas. But it can be a very valuable tool to look at each of the individuals as one consciousness sharing it's many facets, in which the self can then explore itself and it's reflection.

13) Don asked many questions about the nature of Healing. What passage has illuminated the nature of healing the most for you?
Quote:I am Ra. The Law of One, though beyond the limitations of name, as you call vibratory sound complexes, may be approximated by stating that all things are one, that there is no polarity, no right or wrong, no disharmony, but only identity. All is one, and that one is love/light, light/love, the Infinite Creator.
One of the primal distortions of the Law of One is that of healing. Healing occurs when a mind/body/spirit complex realizes, deep within itself, the Law of One; that is, that there is no disharmony, no imperfection; that all is complete and whole and perfect. Thus, the intelligent infinity within this mind/body/spirit complex re-forms the illusion of body, mind, or spirit to a form congruent with the Law of One. The healer acts as energizer or catalyst for this completely individual process.
One item which may be of interest is that a healer asking to learn must take the distortion understood as responsibility for that ask/receiving, thus healing. This is a[n] honor/duty which must be carefully considered in free will before the asking.
Quote:True healing is simply the radiance of the self causing an environment in which a catalyst may occur which initiates the recognition of self, by self, of the self-healing properties of the self.
14) what is the role of community (digital, or otherwise) in your journey of seeking?
