Canceling the Scholar's Edition of the Law of One material

[APeacefulWarrior]

Please try to understand.  I just want it as a book to read, not as an item to THUMP down onto a table and be like, "YOOUU, CRACK THIS BOOK AND LEARN, THE TRUUUTH."

I'm not trying to harp here or turn this into a protracted argument, but I would suggest this conflicts with what you said earlier about the psychological importance of having a book next to you while you sleep.  That would seem to imply you're attaching more importance to the physical book than mere convenience.  That's where my concern stems from.

And I do want to point out, I'm only talking in terms of generalized risks here, not certainties.  I just find it risky to attach too much faith\importance to physical objects, because they can become a distraction from higher non-material realizations.  How risky it is for you, personally, is not something I can say.

 Plainly put, apply your logic to yourself regarding this towards the lawofone.info site.  Why bother?  There's already pdf's to download and search through electronically.  Its for convenience.  Plus L/L could probably use the money.

Well, I certainly won't argue with the need for income.  But otherwise, I find that the non-material nature of websites helps prevent the sort of material attachments I was talking about in the previous post.  Ra's talks are there, and the ideas are unchanged, whether I'm reading them on a phone or a tablet or a computer.  The ideas themselves become the object of my interest, not the physical medium carrying them.  

Also, as I said, electronic indexing/hyperlinking is by far the fastest and most convenient way of exploring materials of this depth and density.  (Pun kinda intended. )  Like just a couple hours ago when I was searching for one of the bits where Ra slaps a big disclaimer on himself.  It took me maybe 30 seconds of keyword searching before I found one of the passages I was remembering.  Physical indexes don't offer nearly the same speed or absolute freedom in creating searches.  They are limited entirely by whatever the author of the index chooses to include.  

Or what if the indexer didn't think to list the times Ra warned us not to take his words as unfettered truth?   Then I'd really have a hard time finding such passages!

While the general debate between the merits of physical vs digital media can't be resolved simply, I would say that electronic media gives each individual more personal control in what they see, and how they see it.  They allow us to custom-craft our experience of ideas, rather than relying on others to curate those ideas and thus impose their interpretation upon us.   Digital searches ensure no such oversights (or deliberate omissions) can distort a person's attempt to explore the materials in their own way.
