The Ra material is just speaking your language is my guess . For example G.I. Gurdjieff's writings teach the same concepts as well, difficult to read, but deep study of Gurdjieff will bring you to the same understanding as the Ra books with some additional very real observations of the real world that Ra dare not make. Ra's self imposed rules not to infringe on free will leave the teachings very open and acceptable to almost everyone but at the same time lack that finer instruction supplied by a teacher that lives in the same world we do.
If I may suggest, master a single system. Be it astrology, I-ching, tarot, kabbalah, which ever grabs your eye there are schools left that teach still. Then the Ra works will really open up for you these other fields. The Ra material is like the theoretical basis for these studies not another way of study.
yes, that's right.
Quote:76.9 Questioner: Is there, in Ra’s opinion, any present-day value for the reuse of the tarot as an aid in the evolutionary process?
Ra: I am Ra. We shall repeat information. It is appropriate to study one form of constructed and organized distortion of the archetypical mind in depth in order to arrive at the position of being able to become and to experience archetypes at will. You have three basic choices. You may choose astrology, the twelve signs, as you call these portions of your planet’s energy web, and what has been called the ten planets. You may choose the tarot with its twenty-two so-called Major Arcana. You may choose the study of the so-called Tree of Life with its ten Sephiroth and the twenty-two relationships between the stations.
It is well to investigate each discipline, not as a dilettante, but as one who seeks the touchstone, one who wishes to feel the pull of the magnet. One of these studies will be more attractive to the seeker. Let the seeker then investigate the archetypical mind using, basically, one of these three disciplines. After a period of study, the discipline mastered sufficiently, the seeker may then complete the more important step: that is, the moving beyond the written in order to express in an unique fashion its understanding, if you may again pardon the noun, of the archetypical mind.
It's definitely good to find something that works for you
