2 - Yes, in the modern world of the consensus and even some in the spiritual communities would consider Ra satatements on homosexuality as "homophobic", but not because the statements are actually homophobic. They're not, but the slightest discernment or criticism is taken as bigotry in our world. Ra simply gave the metaphysics as they know and understand the homosexual phenomenon. Ra is not judging "good" or "bad", simply that these are the conditions in which active homosexuality may manifest.
3, 4 - There are no contradictions, this is why it's so remarkable. The information goes deep and one will learn and see new things during each new reading.
7 - Continue to ask if one is a wanderer. I don't think that there is a way to for sure absolutely know, but we can discern the symptomology. For some there is a more direct knowing. Ra mentions the percentages of wanderers who "KNOW" but they are about 10 percent, the great majority discerning the symptoms of being a wanderer, and rest only know that they are different but they don't know why.
8 - Tarot, Qabalah (white magick), and Astrology. It's your choice. One system or another will call to you more so than the others. For me it's Tarot, and the tarot is also complimented and supplemented by the study of Qabalah. Imo.
10 - No. I'm being honest. My life has only improved with my discovery and reading of the material (and subsequent application).
11 - The most misunderstood concept is homosexuality. There is a lot of personal emotionality when some read that section and then they can't properly 'hear' Ra. The other, I would say, is a world wide miscomprehension about the concept of Free Will. People simply don't know where their rights begin and end.
14 - Being apart of a spiritual community is so incredibly helpful! Mine right now is Bring4th. I have a place where I can speak freely, and I am with people who are of like mind. I feel much more at home being able to discuss things that matter to me, i.e. Spiritual principles and concepts, metaphysics, psychology, etc. We humans are social beings. It's nice to be around others who we feel safe with, who understand us.
I feel lazy leaving this half answered:
1 - The energy centers are vortices of energy or spheres of consciousness along the meridian of the body.
5 - This is a hard one. The Law of One is perfect as it is, but I didn't immediately run into the LOO. The first step to my introduction of the LOO was Jesus Christ. I read the Gospels by myself and discovered that my problem was never with this amazing beautiful loving soul Jesus Christ and his teachings. Nay, my problem was with the Church and their interpretations of Christ's teachings. This opened my heart up, it humbled me. I can't say what the unique requirements are for others, but there are supplementary books that Carla wrote if anyone has difficulty with the material.
6 - The service to others path is the path of love, truth, and mystery. It is the positive path of knowing ourselves. The service to self path is the negative path of control, domination, "Me, a living god". It is the path of "that which is not."
9 - I was already meditating then, but I do have advice for myself on dreaming. Start your dream journal, write what you remember immediately upon waking up, and be persistent! Only then will the vast reaches of the deep mind ocean open up to thee in dreams.
12 - Physical exercise is important, but everyone has unique and different needs. for me I take walks with my dogs and I walk to places in my area.
13 - I can't find the quote I'm looking for... it's about healing being the realization of the Law of One deep within the being which causes the indigo Ray (etheric, form-maker) body to reconfigure which then may affect healing at the incarnate mind/body/spirit complex level. "As Above, So Below."
