Quote: Do you think of the Law of One as a religion? Do you find yourself making decisions based on Law of One quotes, regardless of whether or not it makes sense, or feels like the right thing to do? Have you observed yourself taking action that maybe you wouldn't have done before, and then when you feel your conscience nagging you, do you tell yourself "It doesn't matter what I do...there is no right or wrong" ?
No, I don't think of it as a religion, although there are numerous statements which may correctly be regarded as religious teachings, and which I conceive as fundamental ontological concepts clearly paralleling many religions , whose teachings also instruct adherents in the structure of the Universe and the proper method of God-Realization. To regard Ra's teachings as merely philosophical or secular would be a mistake. The corpus of Ra's work could easily be adopted by those so inclined to view the work as a divinely inspired gift, leading aspirants to the true vision of the Creator. There is no shortage of similar examples: Scientology, Unarius, Urantia, I AM, etc, etc....
Indeed, I myself regard Ra's communications as some of the most advanced metaphysical statements I know of, with which I resonate, and which I consider to be an accurate portrayal of the structure of the metaphysical universe and valuable insights into the spiritual path. These have always been the domain of ancient and modern religions. And though most modern religions have lost the meaning and the power of its original inspiration, there is no question that religions have aided millions in their quest for the higher life. We are fortunate to live in a time where we understand the limitations of these structures – we've become practical in our quest – we seek something which works and not necessarily a teacher whose star we follow.
Right and wrong and ethical questions should ultimately, ideally, flow from the heart as innate wisdom, embedded in the soul after many lifetimes. Others may help one decide but the decision should harmonize with one's true inner feelings.
The facilitators of the Ra Material are high, special beings to whom we owe our thanks for a rather priceless gift. They are not gurus, although I believe in the guru-disciple relationship. Many an aspirant has been taken up and delivered to the Lord on high by the special grace of the Satguru. The aspirant continues the discipline of the Path, but an authentic Guru can be an indispensable feature of the aspirants successful bid for Self-realization. There is nothing amiss about the adoration of the Guru when the aim of the Guru and disciple is the same: enlightenment through Knowledge of the Creator.
The Ra Material has similar features and topics as many bibles yet I think we're better off as regarding it as serendipitous, and valuable instruction, an integral part of the spiritual dispensation now being given to humanity during this transition to a New Age.
Thanks, Monica, for an interesting thread.
