It's because a lot of you don't seem to understand that you can't just pick and choose what's true and have it be true simply because you chose it.
The western empirical tradition that resulted in modern science is establishing truths, actual accurate observations and explanations of reality, it's a gradual process of discovery. Whereas this book offers a completely different view of the world not based on any science (well apart from Larson who is not respected in the scientific community) with a whole bunch of unprovable stuff and you just take that all on faith? I mean you may as well believe that this post will align your energy centers, there's no reason to believe it but people are proving they don't need reasons other than making you feel good. JLY was looking really promising but after a few posts it all broke down into "I can believe what I want and that includes making stuff up and being inconsistent" no offense intended but he did literally make stuff up (ad hoc explanations allowed by a cosmic philosophy that does not discriminate fact from fiction, he had the honesty to admit it though and did say that the theory would be consistent with what's displayed in the Ra Material, though doesn't stop it being made up) and was inconsistent (regarding Larson in relation to the Ra Material).
I'm surprised too though, apart from the individuals that just flared up and went "ah you're here to attack us like a zealot cos you don't see any reason to believe that my cherished views are true" I've found most of you to be rather pleasant and agreeable.
And to be honest, the longer I spend here the more convinced I become that this Material is bunk. Not completely convinced yet but I'm getting there. Especially as all the most reasonable folk here aren't completely convinced either.
I am still curious of your thoughts regarding the concept of the 7 archetypes of Ra and whether or not you would consider these archetypes in the same way you have referred to the archetypes of our collective humanity? As in, do you see archetypes as "functional" or are they more just "memory stuff"?
