Do you guys actually believe this stuff?

As a whole, your objections have a very snarky language to them.

Please forgive me and cease the wheel of karma from turning. A lot of tonal context is lost in the communicative medium of text, keep that in mind lol.

First, I'm going to object to your assertion that the Ra Material is unhealthy because people read it and think unhealthy things. Shall we, then, consider Nietzsche unhealthy because he inspired Nazis? Shall we bury Hegel because it begat Marx's ill-conceived ideology?

Wel Nietzche literally was unhealthy lol I see what you mean but c'mon respect the proportions of the proposition.

JLY, the parts I talked about such as Larson and Geller, "Don's fascinations" as you termed them may not be central to the philosophy as proposed by Ra but are parts of the text and you did ask me for my objections to the text not the philosophy. Also, "as far as the theory can go" is really quite far, Larsons theory is large in scope and accounts for a lot of what Ra says to be true in book II, you can't just dismiss it. Also Ra did say Geller was the real deal and the phenomenon is possible under Ra's model, so are you cherry picking or do you believe Geller can bend spoons with his mind?

If you're not going to read charitably (i.e. by assuming that the author is speaking accurately and truthfully and then piecing the story together in the most coherent way possible), I suggest you don't read at all. Criticism encultures its medium, but cynicism only infects it.

*raises eyebrow*

Straw man

Lol hardly, what I meant was that the Orion was the analogue for the devil in the grand space opera that is the Law of One.

I'm glad you came out and said the word archetype, ok you at least partially understand what I'm getting at here, honestly a great relief.

I've met Carla. There is no way she invented this, conscious or unconscious

You can never be sure of what lies in someone's unconscious, to do so is very naive. I'm not trying to be condescending here I'm just genuinely surprised you said that. She had a religious upbringing and spent an awful lot of time with Don Elkins, the more I look into it the Ra Material really seems like Don Elkin's world view which is weird as he was the questioner. Don was obsessed with this stuff, you ever read Oahspe? For him to have the commitment to read that tome (and he did, studied it in depth) is indicative of how deep he was into entertaining cosmic philosophy.

I have work to do but I will come back later

I just have one question JLY, would you have any qualm with this material being false? Do you want it to be true? I'm not trying to logically trap you here I'm just curious.
