This is a wonderful thread. Since I find such joy in reading the Ra Material, I can't resist a few additional comments.
(I don't know the correct way to include quotes from your comments, so please bear with me.)

In my experience, we find what we need at the time. You were ready for the TLOO, so you found a vehicle to get you there.
So very much truth in this comment. Edgar Cayce's story of Atlantis, which mentions conflict between the "Sons of Belial" and the "Sons of the Law of One" piqued my curiosity, and a Google search landed me in the Ra Material. Despite my minimal existing knowledge of most of the topics covered, Ra's words resonated deeply. Yes, initially, I struggled with Ra's sentence structure and vocabulary, but perhaps no more than I found myself confused by Don's questions. Gradually, their styles have become familiar, and I feel an overwhelming gratitude toward Ra and those who were dedicated to the channeling of this information. Knowing that the material is a direct transcript was the primary motivation for my initial reading.

I only wish to note the care with which they selected their words in order to elicit as technically accurate, dispassionate, and neutral a meaning as possible. While words, along with any form of communication, are only the figurative finger pointing at the moon, I find that Ra's words direct my attention better than most to that moon which I seek. The singular and unendingly helpful nature of their signpost is a consequence of their attempt to remove as much distortion as possible from the message which they desire to bring.
Yes, yes, yes! Note the following:
37.4 Ra says...."Moreover, as we scanned your mind to grasp your situation as regards the typescript of some of our words, we found that you had been criticized for the type of language construction used to convey data. Due to our orientation with regard to data, even the most specifically answered question would be worded by our group in such a way as to maximize the accuracy of the nuances of the answer. This, however, mitigates against what your critic desires in the way of simple, lucid prose. More than this we cannot say. These are our observations of your situation. What you wish to do is completely your decision and we remain at your service in whatever way we may be without breaking the Way of Confusion."

This statement could be translated that Lavazza may author a study guide for TLOO. However, the wording as it is sparked an entirely different idea...who of us can say what is easy or what is difficult for a new seeker to understand? Indeed, "a study guide of MY OWN" is something each of us has probably compiled in notes and/or questions here in the Forum and/or other ways arising from our individual study guided by an internal compass, and as 3D said, what we need at the time. Of course, sharing notes offers another set of potential benefits. All of you participating in the forums have my appreciation for your insights, even your questions are helpful.
Just one last comment, as Ra's response below seems appropriate:
15.13 Questioner: You previously gave us information on what we should do in balancing. Is there any publishable information you can give us now about particular exercises or methods of balancing these energy centers?
Ra: I am Ra. The exercises given for publication seen in comparison with the material now given are in total a good beginning. It is important to allow each seeker to enlighten itself rather than for any messenger to attempt in language to teach/learn for the entity, thus being teach/learner and learn/teacher. This is not in balance with your third density. We learn from you. We teach to you. Thus, we teach/learn. If we learned for you, this would cause imbalance in the direction of the distortion of free will.
