In the new book the 106 sessions of the conversation with Ra will be presented in a way that would please the purist. The volumes will include as little added human layering as possible: a brief intro, briefer foreword, relistening report, index, tarot images, etc.
Also available to the interested reader will be a companion volume containing resources for the Law of One student. The volume will be called . . . wait for it . . . Resources.
We would love your input here. What would you include in a Law of One Resources book? Diagrams, illustrations, explanations of certain concepts, additional information, etc.
Below is a listing of some of but not all of the content we’re currently planning on including in the resources book. Please let us know if you have any ideas for additional items! Many thanks in advance.
1.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Unusual Words glossary with potential larger glossary of terms.
2.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Timeline of events in the Law of One
3.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Instructions for garlic/salt/banishing rituals,
4.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Explanation of Law of Squares
5.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Scan of samples of Don notebook’s used during RC
6.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Pyramid diagrams depicting spirals, alignments, and ratios
7.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Further reading list, incl links to Larsonian physics writings
8.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Additional photos around the Ra contact
9.[font=Times New Roman] [/font]Super massive index with over 500 terms
I would suggest a sub-glossary/index exclusively about tarot. Maybe a breakout section? It would bring together the words, concepts and items asked or answered in Book 4 related to tarot in alphabetical or other organizational order. I'm thinking that putting the tarot concepts into the larger volume disburses them too much. So the tarot image/concept "bird" is important in tarot, as is "wings." But if these two are placed alphabetically in the larger master glossary/index, they would tend to get lost in the larger lexicon of things Ra. A condensed and specialized sub-glossary/index of things tarot would let the student read that condensed section from beginning to end to assimilate tarot concepts exclusively without having to digest "love/light" (alphabetically midpoint between "bird" and "wings") while doing so. This is not to say that Book 4 gets indexed entirely separately. It contains crucial info on big Ra concepts like “archetypical mind” which properly belongs in the larger index. I’m just saying that “in the weeds” discussions about the card pictures themselves should be grouped/indexed separately, if possible.
It would be nice of the glossary included concepts that are actually expressed only in Don's questions. See e.g. question at 93.9. Don asks about stuff, and Ra simply agrees. So the question’s elements should be indexed too. (In this case “unstable platform” and “standing entity.”) (There is much to be learned from Don throughout all these books.)
If you can swing it, an illustration that is book-wide (i.e. left and right pages) that shows the tarot in their proper grid: three rows of seven cards each, with the "fool" card off to the side. (It logically belongs in two places.) Since Ra wants the student to study the cards juxtaposed to each other, it would be nice to have them displayed in their proper positions. This picture grid can have the rows labeled (i.e. mind, body, spirit) and the columns too (e.g. "matrix," "catalyst" etc.).
And thank you so much for asking for feedback and ideas!
upon further inspection, the entire line of 0-21 can be applied to all body, mind and spirit.
Here is how the full 22 major arcana fit in to simply just the mind. not the body, not the soul, just the mind.
uncovering how the tarot in it's full set applies to the body and the soul is a whole completely different story for each.
