translation to simpler words? - soul2rise - 08-07-2019
Hey guys so I am just discovering all this stuff.....as far as anyone knows has the whole series of books or conversations been translated in terms easier to understand?? I am REALLY interested in this I kinda came to my own beliefs recently and in researching it matches up real nicely with this. However a lot of the wording confuses me...I never even officially graduated high school ended up droping out and getting my GED when I was 16 (I am now 33) so some of these words and phrases I don't understand. And there is sooooooo much material that it will take forever to read it all anyway but if I have to stop and look up the definition for every few words well I will never be able to read it all! I have found bits and pieces translated to simpler words but was wondering if the entire thing has ever been translated in this way? or maybe you guys know other bits and pieces that I could add to the bits and pieces I have already found. Maybe I can put them togather and get a bigger picture of the entire thing. Any help or advice would really be appreciated! THANKS GUYS!!

Hi soul2rise,
Welcome to the forum!
One of Carla's own books is "Living the Law of One 101: The Choice" which was intended to be an entry-level intro to The Confederation's philosophy, so you might find it useful?
You can download the pdf free from L/L's main site here:
https://www.llresearch.org/library/living_the_law_of_one_the_choice/living_the_law_of_one_the_choice.aspx
Or buy the physical book here:
https://bring4th.org/store/index.php?route=product/product&path=75_77&product_id=57
If it's mainly the terminology that's proving difficult, then the new Glossary to the "Ra Contact Books", might prove useful to you. I've made a post here at bring4th with the glossary here:
https://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=15933
I've also written a book of philosophy that incorporates much of The Confederation's paradigm mixed with my own ideas and opinions, which also might prove useful.
I totally understand that the sheer volume of L/L's output over the decades can be daunting / overwhelming, but stick with it, I think you'll find it worthwhile!
I hope this helps!
L & L
Jim

Jim+Kent made a really good suggestion. This would be a great place to start.
Many of us have a hard time with the wording but over time, as you will see, it will be easier for you to understand. However this will take invested time in learning.
Also, there are many folks within this forum that are very helpful in clarifying terminologies and can help you gain understanding. All you have to do is ask. There are a ton of side students of The Law of One.
Welcome once again.

I would perhaps look more at the Q'ou channelings.
Personally I do not want others distortions so much a clear channel. Ra is the most accurate but the same group also channeled Q'uo and they are phrased much more simply.
Unfortunately there never was a Q'ou book or I would have bought it 3 times by now.

This thread is a collection of Q'uo quotes and each links to a full beautiful channeling.

Yes Q’uo speaks in simpler words and they are much easier to understand. And they are still speaking at an advanced level of understanding. So don’t think the Q’uo channelings are lesser. In comparison to the Ra Material, it’s on a lower level, but on a much higher level than most modern channelings you will find today. Hardly anyone approaches the purity and depth that L/L is able to achieve. You are in good company, my friend!
There’s so many interesting things on the channeling archives. You are in for a very exciting journey.

I don't think it's very difficult to understand, I don't think it should be distorted.
