Quote:This is your prerogative as free agent of the Law of One having learn/understood that our social memory complex cannot effectually discern the distortions of the societal mind/body/spirit complex of your peoples.
Is Ra saying here that they are relying on Don to navigate the distortions of our society through his line of questioning?
Yeah
Quote:You must picture the activity within all that is created. The energy is, though finite, quite large compared to the understanding/distortion of your peoples. This is an obvious point well known to your peoples, but little considered.
What is “the activity within all that is created”? Is Ra referring to the energy with matter itself?
Also, this statement seems to contradict itself. First Ra says it is "quiet large" compared to our current understanding, and then immediately says “this is an obvious point well known to your peoples, but little considered.” What is this supposed to mean? How are these two statements compatible?
I think he is talking about how everything is moving. So yes maybe, matter itself. I think humans think of our objects as very solid and stationary. I think rationally we all know that nothing is solid, nothing is stationary, and everything is static, but we just don't think about it a lot.
Quote:The vibratory distortion of sound, faith, is perhaps one of the stumbling blocks between those of what we may call the infinite path and those of the finite proving/understanding.
Regarding the phrasing “The vibratory distortion of sound, faith”…does Ra mean that the word “faith” itself has some baggage and is thus a stumbling block, or is faith itself, in action and as a part of the seekers path, the stumbling block?
Faith is analogous to intelligent infinity. This is what Ra is explaining. However, due to our distorted religious dogmas, the word "faith" carries a lot of connotation to things that people don't want to associate their spiritual nature with (traditional Christianity being the obvious one). So Ra uses the words intelligent infinity, instead of faith.
Faith is very important. It is the work of the indigo ray. Whenever Ra says "intelligent infinity", replace it with faith (as long as you don't have the stumbling block distortions that make the word and idea of faith unpalatable). They are the same thing. The stumbling block is the religious hijacking of an important concept.
Quote:The pyramids which we thought/built were constructed from thought-forms created by our social memory complex.
Does Ra mean that they first created thought-forms, and then those thought-forms are what constructed the pyramid? Or is the use of thoughtforms simply a process by which Ra constructs the pyramids?
Thought forms are what they used to build the pyramids. We all use thought forms to create things, Ra is just a bit more advanced on the Earth plane than we are.
Quote:3.12 Questioner: Then the rock was created by thought in place rather than moved from somewhere else? Is that correct?
Ra: I am Ra. We built with everlasting rock the Great Pyramid, as you call it. Other of the pyramids were built with stone moved from one place to another.
3.13 Questioner: What is everlasting rock?
Ra: I am Ra. If you can understand the concept of thought-forms you will realize that the thought-form is more regular in its distortion than the energy fields created by the materials in the rock which has been created through thought-form from thought to finite energy and beingness in your, shall we say, distorted reflection of the level of the thought-form.
May we answer you in any more helpful way?
A Google search revealed to me that the term “everlasting rock” is used in Isaiah 26:4, where God is equated to an everlasting rock. Did Ra intend for this correlation? If so, why?
Possibly. I wasn't sure how to articulate this one, and I read anagogy's answer and it seems to fit how I feel (the "everlasting rock" came from time/space and not space/time)
