Dustin, I'm not able to comprehend all of your material. (I'm glad you share it anyway!) But as much as I can get out of it, I agree: It appears that your own study was leading to you Law of One type understandings.
Perhaps some of your discoveries were channeled, in the form of equations or concepts or process flows you "tuned into," without your realizing that was what was happening?
As for me, I'm not convinced. I'm also not unconvinced. Let me try to explain. I've not had any experience I can remember that would certainly prove to me this material, or any spiritual material, is true. It takes an act of will for me to choose to have faith in the material. However, it makes more sense to me to choose faith in this material than in any other explanations I've seen of spiritual truth.
Therefore I choose to have this faith, which I define as wholeheartedly living my life as though this material is true, until and unless I find something more comprehensive, compelling, consistent, and empowering. I also choose faith in several Buddhist, Taoist, U-U, Quaker, astrological, quantum physics, and Native American concepts to the extent I understand them and they meet these criteria. As far as I can tell, all of these are matters of faith in unproven interpretations and conclusion about proven observations.
The longer I live this life, the more certain I feel that what matters more is the quality of care we have for ourselves and for other lives. I feel this is much more important than whether we have the right doctrine in our heads.
Later - perhaps through next year, perhaps starting through the holidays - I want to offer a series of topics here exploring faith, doctrine, love, reason, cult abuses, etc., both to explore my own personal journey and to learn from others. If I get around to all that, I'd love to discover more about your perspective.

Have you read 'Secrets of the UFO,' a free download from this site? It's the history of Don and Carla's explorations, pretty much leading up to the Ra contact. I think you'd enjoy it and find much to ponder and discuss.

Lavazza, it appears that you and I come to this material from the same type of perspective. Thank you very much for your post. I would like to take you up on your offer of some Alan Watts recommendations.

I think that's a great idea. "Event hunter team" could be a killer app for the iPhone.
It could be used by journalists, tourists, or anyone trying to cross-reference their pictures and experiences, not just UFO explorers. Although once it's installed,the user would certainly be equipped to help investigate UFO anomalies. It sure would have come in handy with the lights over Norway.What does TLE stand for?
