Law of One Channeling

[βαθμιαίος]

They were here for some thousands of years, right?

I'm not honestly sure. It depends what you mean by "here," I guess. I find the whole time line confusing. They visited 18,000 years ago but didn't land. They returned 11,000 (8,500?) years ago (never having left in thought) and spent some time considering considering how to build the structures they wanted to build. They built the Great Pyramid around 6,000 years ago and pyramid-building (by them? not clear) continued for another 1,500 years. Around 3,350 years ago they spoke to Akhenaten, presumably not in person.

So yes, I think they did do their research. Re: it came to our attention: "You may see our role in the first major cycle as that of the gardener who, knowing the season, is content to wait for the spring. When the springtime does not occur, the seeds do not sprout; then it is that the gardener must work in the garden."

I think their summary of the situation is pretty accurate. It may look like a failure from outside, but...

23.10 ...We ask you to remember that we are of the Brothers and Sisters of Sorrow. When one has been rescued from that sorrow to a vision of the One Creator, then there is no concept of failure.

Our difficulty lay in the honor/responsibility of correcting the distortions of the Law of One which occurred during our attempts to aid these entities. The distortions are seen as responsibilities rather than failures; the few who were inspired to seek, our only reason for the attempt.

Thus, we would perhaps be in the position of paradox in that as one saw an illumination, we were what you call successful, and as others became more sorrowful and confused, we were failures. These are your terms. We persist in seeking to serve.
