Quote:Elliptical? I thought we were talking about spiral! LOL. Look all I am trying to say here is that maybe it was a slip. I don't see why it is such a big deal. When we have to start going into all manner of convoluted explanations to preserve the supposed infallibility of the contact, it starts to become a little absurd. Spiral, lenticular, elliptical... I don't think there is any hidden mystery for us to discern. Ra only used the word "lenticular" one time. Don used it seven times.
All this demonstrates, in my opinion, is that distortions in the query lead to distortions in the reply. If Ra stopped Don to correct every little distortion in his mind, there wouldn't be anything useful left for us to read.
No. We are talking about elliptical in response to zenmaster's comment just a few posts above and that it was noted that people (including you) are confusing elliptical with lenticular and making that concept one and the same which is not. Nothing to do how many times Don or my grandmother uses the concept. I repeat: a spiral galaxy is lenticular if seen sideways. Also neither Don or Ra used 'elliptical'.
Quote:Well seeing as how I have studied the Seth material, the Urantia Book, the Keys of Enoch, the Cassiopaeans, Sheldan Nidle, Matthew's Messages, Barbara Marciniak, SaLuSa, Master Hilarion, and also for several months attended in person channeling sessions with Dr. Peebles through Ann Albers, I am not sure what "more research" you would suggest.
Out of all the channeled works and messages I have encountered, the Ra material is by far one of the best. I would place Ra, the Cassiopeans, and Seth in a class unto themselves. However to operate from the assumption that the Ra contact was infallible, or that every single word in it is literally true, would be taking it too far. Even L/L Research agrees that the material is colored by the mind of the channel, so it kind of boggles my mind when somebody else comes in and tries to argue that every last minutia must be correct.
It is not the same category Cassiopeans and Ra or even Q'uo and Ra. Cassiopeans for me are not even a worth a second look, for example since the dynamics of the group is bitter and power based in my opinion. However, this is my opinion and you are Ok taking whatever resonates with you. It is more of a 'spiritual' research.
