Why do Don and Ra talk about a lenticular galaxy when our galaxy is spiral?

[Tenet Nosce]

That follow-up was related to the fallibility of the stellar/galactic evolution model currently in use, and the fact that Larson suggested a more accurate model decades ago. Isn't it amazing that something can be 5 times younger than previously thought and go unnoticed? That's a 'broken' cosmology.

Yes, I think that is significant. For example, I check in with ScienceDaily.com on a near daily basis, and the number of discoveries coming out that completely SHATTER our understanding of how the universe really works is stunning! Now how could Ra have possibly communicated an idea that was 30 years past our current understanding at the time? They couldn't, and so had to use the closest vernacular they could find in the awareness of Don and Carla's minds.

As far as Ra being fallible, sure. To merely put concepts to words is to necessarily, automatically become fallible. The key or art with effective communication is to reduce the chance of misunderstanding. What 'truth' can you really offer with the constraints of the channeling format, considering the biases of the reader? Each word used has a slightly different meaning and emphasis placed in the reader's mind.

Agreed. This seems somewhat obvious to me, but apparently is a sticking point for others.

My suggestion is that Ra meant that our galaxy is dualistic.

Certainly there is something that we do not yet understand.

Have you ever seen the pictures that appear with one image looked at from the left, and another looked at from the right? That's called lenticular. Two images, existing simultaneously, but separated by viewpoint.

That's an interesting angle! (Cheesy pun intended) I downloaded a program called Stellarium that allows one to view the galaxy from any angle imaginable. Fascinating!

Yes words are just signposts. They're never the thing in itself.

Great observation! And highly relevant...
