I feel that you are wanting concrete details like an engineer might tackle understanding the metaphysical, redcharteuse!
It is nice to meet you, if we haven't already.
I wanted to suggest/share one thing for absolute certain:
With how Ra commands the English language with such prose and ease when they are not a natural-born speaker, is it really any doubt that they haven't compensated for distortions in communicating in this fashion?
When English itself is fragmented and cannot represent every idea that many other languages can easily express in theirs.
When playing telephone will easily reveal the inadequacy of efficiency in human communication on this Earth, it instead makes me pause to consider that we chose this incarnation with this in mind for a reason. Are misunderstandings truly something we need to avoid in this incarnation?
Sin actually translates to "missing the mark". Yet despite how distorted people may interpret Ra's words, other entities with less evolved, and more polarity-stigmatized agendas really didn't want these messages to get out regardless. Why is that?
If what Ra says resonates with you, it isn't simply because you heard it without any distortion. I'd wager to say it is impossible for you to. However, this is compensated for, and even revisiting the Ra material for a 3rd time I walk away with new interpretations without losing the original meaning.
And here, in this reality, and in metaphysics in particular, we must accept the idea of infinite. In Hermetics, polarity is instead referred to as magnetism. How insightful of you to make the analogy!
And a common analogy Hermetics uses to illustrate this fairly in-human concept is to use the painting of male and female and their general roles in this life experience. Is a woman always less correct than a male? Nonsense. Is it more moral to be one or the other? You tell me. And yet, everyone can listen to the same musical song, tap their feet to it, but hear different messages and like it for very different reasons. Is that wrong? Are they truly different songs?
I think you ask excellent questions. It's great to be skeptical and to think critically! I commend you for having interest in this domain while remaining so scientific and logical in your approach. I have not found such a luxury to think esoterically only in a scientific manner, despite being an engineer in my frame of view. I instead realize I must walk a fine line of wisdom and ignorance. To admit even as a scientist in a physical world that my memories cannot be 100% trusted, that my history was given to me, and that I am a part of this world (and inside the machine) trying to judge it and make sense of it. Scientists have their own paradoxes to sort out, as well
I am very grateful for you to share your views. I am thankful you started this thread. I am glad you have the courage and the tenacity to put your original convictions in your first reading by the door to resume work in understanding and personal growth.
And as if I didn't say it well enough my first time: welcome! I am glad you are here and being a part of this community!
