Audio sessions?

[Questioner]

That's a good informative post, thank you.

You're welcome.

And I disagree on the hosting issue. Perhaps we don't have to host the whole of the Ra transmissions all at once free of charge. That would take a substantial amount of money. But there are hosts that give enough free storage space (albeit usually ad supported) to hold the audio contents of one session.

Doing that might then lead to the next batch of new members complaining that there must be something to hide, since only one audio is posted at a time. How would you envision handling this?

The ad-supported hosting seems problematic. I imagine that, as a nonprofit source of spiritual information, LLR would have philosophical and perhaps even tax law reasons to not use their sessions as a billboard for someone else's business.

I can find no actual Ra recordings on the internet to hear, and that bugs me.

The discussions of how to clean up the audio only began a few weeks ago. I think there's still not agreement about how to effectively filter out the noise without reducing too much of the speech clarity. Probably experiments still ongoing about what settings give the best results.

I agree that there may be a fair amount of interest and enthusiasm for the audio recordings. Why not let LLR use that interest as a means for fundraising to cover their expenses, since in four decades nobody's gotten rich, or even comfortably well off, from this material yet? It seems that you have a vigorous philosophical opposition to that, but I'm not sure I understand why.

Is the objection to economics in general? Or is money only sinful if connected to a message of love?

Would you have all churches never take an offering, all psychics do free readings all day, all publishers give away their books, musicians never pass the hat? If so, how does that help the people involved to have shelter, heat and food in our current economic system? If not, where do you draw the line, and why would sales of the Ra recordings be on the "wrong" side of the line?

Tomorrow, I'd like to discover what you see as the principles that you think should support the decision making here. I feel that I'm missing something about your point of view.
