There is no contradiction. Ra said that this material was intended for a specific group of people. Don's character, the nature of the material explicitly demonstrate the audience who called for this information.

Many of us are from countries where there arent anti-intellectualism movements like in US and the segments who subscribe to that. There is no problem with intellect or intellectualism for many of us. There is no separation in between 'the heart' (or rather, blind belief) and 'intellect' for many of us. And that such a separation exists in modern American Christian mythology is pretty baffling.
Quote:When you are studying the L/L material, have you ever considered not reading and allowing the Knowledge to flow into you, (in No Mind). The moment that we allow ourselves to become a part of the "Natural Order of Everything".
That would be not studying this particular material, but practicing an Eastern meditation methodology. It doesnt even make sense. Why would people who want to study this particular material should not study it and instead do just mindfulness meditation.
What I am saying is. There is nothing wrong studying any form of Philosophy, but do not accept it on just an Intellectual level. Although according to Eastern Mysticism, the Mind is incapable understanding and comprehending the indefinable. Even Philosophy, (any Philosophy), has its limitations because it is only based on speculation and conjecture. Once we break the bonds of Intellectualism, and accept the "AS IT IS", (as it is), and everything is complete, then Philosophy becomes a stumbling-block, and not a step upwards. Or, in other words, accepting the "Great Emptiness" which is incomprehensible. Simply accept your place within it. The old Buddhist saying, the more that you seek something, the more it disappears. You cannot find it, simply because it does not exist in Philosophy. Even Philosophy has its limitations, (no matter what it claims).
