I found this on the DC site you posted:
Just based on my own observation, I'd say a LOT has changed in the last few years...in the people that I know...their attitudes and degrees of open-mindedness vs bigotry...I see so many people polarizing intensely rapidly, it's astonishing! And, on a global level as well.
I admit I do have a bit of pet peeve whenever anyone calls opinions/interpretations facts.
I agree that it's no small point. Now I understand what the Christians are going thru in their churches, with all the disagreement about whether there will be an imminent rapture...many of them are very scared because of the supposed impending armageddon...Is this not just another version of that? It's exactly the same concept...which leads me to conclude that it's either true...or there is a mass FEAR that has grabbed hold of many who seek to divine the future based on their interpretation of their own respective 'Bible' whether that be the Christian Bible...or the Law of One.
Being that we actually have a date attached to our version, and that date is a mere 3 years away, and being that belief in said version of rapture can certainly induce fear, I would say that discussion of this topic is indeed important...no small thing.
There is a difference between evidence and proof.
Proof can be applied only to that which is tangible. We can have proof that gravity works because it is demonstrable.
Evidence, otoh, is that which builds a case, but might not necessarily be tangibly provable. Opinions and interpretations are in the realm of the unprovable. That's why there are so many religions in the world! And even thousands of denominations in the same religion! They can't agree on their interpretations...
That is the definition of discreet.
Here is the definition of discrete:
discrete - 5 dictionary results
dis⋅crete
/dɪˈskrit/
–adjective
1. apart or detached from others; separate; distinct: six discrete parts.
2. consisting of or characterized by distinct or individual parts; discontinuous.
3. Mathematics.
a. (of a topology or topological space) having the property that every subset is an open set.
b. defined only for an isolated set of points: a discrete variable.
c. using only arithmetic and algebra; not involving calculus: discrete methods.
Being that the homonyms discrete and discreet sound alike but have different meanings, and being that Carla's channeling was recorded on a tape recorder, just how do any of us know which meaning Ra intended?
Did Carla, upon waking from her trance, tell Don, "Ra meant d-i-s-c-r-e-t-e, not d-i-s-c-r-e-e-t"...?
Being that she didn't even remember what had been said, um, no, I don't think she did that. So, the word got transcribed according to the inclination (guess) of the transcriber.
Just this one single word, with 2 meanings, can totally change the meaning of that passage.
Quote: Ra: Moreover, there exists probability/possibility vortices which spiral towards your bellicose actions. Many of these vortices are not of the nuclear war but of the less annihilatory but more lengthy so-called “conventional” war. This situation, if formed in your illusion, would offer many opportunities for seeking and for service.
DW: Ra is VERY under-stated on things like this. So when they say "many of these vortices," they're basically saying "this is what's going to happen unless something wild comes along to change it." By all evidence, nothing has changed it.

Wilcock: Law of One and 2012: The Facts! Wrote:Ra: However, the nature of quanta is such that the movement over the boundary is that of discrete placement of vibratory level.Discrete may be interpreted to mean that there is nothing more than a delicate boundary that we move over verses a separate or spontaneous or quantum leap or abrupt end. It may be so discrete as to be elegant, delicate, fine, gradual, or unostentatious.
Wilcock: DISCRETE PLACEMENT. Discrete means "separate and distinct." A quantum leap. They also say that there is a "boundary" that we move over. When is the boundary? 2011-2013.
DISCRETE MEANS 'SPONTANEOUS'
Guess what… even before all the other supporting quotes about 3D/4D electrical incompatibility, what you've just read about the photon shifting across a "discrete boundary" is proof positive, within the Law of One physics, that this is a spontaneous event.
discrete – adjective
*judicious in one's conduct or speech, esp. with regard to respecting privacy or maintaining silence about something of a delicate nature; prudent; circumspect.
*showing prudence and circumspection; decorous: a discreet silence.
*modestly unobtrusive; unostentatious, e.g.: a discreet, finely wrought gold necklace.
