Just came across this interesting quote from Session 17. It seems like a lot of disagreements over the material trace back to this particular session in one way or another.
This sounds to me exactly like the notion of taking on extreme ascetic practices in order to gain supernatural powers. This also gets back to some of that stuff in the Essene depictions of Jesus' words. I liked some parts, but as a whole, the document was riddled with behavior restrictions and "Thou shalt nots..."
17.17 Wrote:Ra: I am Ra. We may describe in general what occurred. The technique was that of building upon other negatively oriented information. This information had been given by the one whom your peoples called “Yahweh.” This information involved many strictures upon behavior and promised power of the third-density, service-to-self nature. These two types of distortions were impressed upon those already oriented to think these thought-forms.
