Quote:11.8 Questioner: Is there anyone in our history who is commonly known who went to a fourth-density self-service or negative type of planet or any who will go there?

Ra: I am Ra. The number of entities thus harvested is small. However, a few have penetrated the eighth level which is only available from the opening up of the seventh through the sixth. Penetration into the eighth or intelligent infinity level allows a mind/body/spirit complex to be harvested if it wishes at any time/space during the cycle.

11.9 Questioner: Are any of these people known in the history of our planet by name?

Ra: I am Ra. We will mention a few. The one known as Taras Bulba, the one known as Genghis Khan, the one known as Rasputin.

Quote: The work is non-fictional in nature, in that the main character іs based on several historical personalities, and other characters are not аs exaggerated or grotesque as was common in Gogol's later fiction.

They have free will to the point that they often start behaving in ways contrary to the personalities I designed for them. The fact that a personality is fiction has little do do with its level of "realness". Are we not all characters in the Creator's book?

I know that Taras is a character based of the works of Nikolai Gogol and I remember his name heavily referenced on the Russian media as a child.
Maybe Ra meant that the nature of the book itself calibrated on a negative level, or maybe the the character was actually based of a real historical figure whom Gogol adopted into his work?

anyway just a thought I wanted to share.

Taras Bulba was fictional in the same sense that Jesus Christ (Jehoshuah/Yesua) was fictional. There were real historical personalities associated with these names. They weren't exactly like their fictionalized counterparts.

This is what Ra was referring to, in my opinion.

What is the basis for your statement that there was indeed an actual person who was later portrayed in fiction as "Taras Bulba"? (Whether or not that was the individual's actual name.)
