In the Ra Material there is a passing reference to where all our limitations originate which is deliberately amplified in the following Q'uo lesson.
First, here's an excerpt of the Ra session and the reference to the source of distortions as it is wrapped up in a long discourse pertinent to the personality of the one known as The Scribe.
Second, here's Quo's amplification of this from March 27th, 1988.

The overall message is that each belief we make our own contains a framework for experience which we can use until it is used up. At that point, we need to let it go and find a different restrictive belief structure to explore.
I find this a very fruitful concept. On the one hand, it honours the long term process of seeking that which is less distorted than what one's understanding currently embraces. On the other hand, it guides those of us who have cycled through numerous levels of ideation and belief to let go of all of it, thus allowing the next cycle to begin afresh. This allows the subsequent cycle of exploration to be fully commensurate with one's being, rather than experiencing conflict with that of which one has trouble releasing.
In other words, as one's capacity to embrace a larger point of view emerges, one's ability to accept this and release the prior limitations must also adjust proportionally. As the above example suggests, this adjustment may be more delayed than one might expect.
First, here's an excerpt of the Ra session and the reference to the source of distortions as it is wrapped up in a long discourse pertinent to the personality of the one known as The Scribe.
Quote:99.5 Questioner: Finally, of the preliminary questions, one from Jim stating, “For the last three weeks I have often been at the edge of anger and frustration, have had a nearly constant dull pain at my indigo-ray center, and have felt quite drained of energy. Would Ra comment on the source of these experiences and any thoughts or actions that might alleviate it?”And it goes on........
Ra: I am Ra. As in all distortions, the source is the limit of the viewpoint. We may, without serious infringement, suggest three courses of behavior which shall operate upon the distortion expressed.
Firstly, it would be well for the scribe to engage, if not daily then as nearly so as possible, in a solitary strenuous activity which brings this entity to the true physical weariness. Further, although any activity may suffice, an activity chosen for its intended service to the harmony of the group would be quite efficacious.

Quote:I am Q’uo, and we thank you, my brother. Is there another query?
[new speaker] Questioner
Yes, I have one please. I had an experience last August, late July or August, with energy, and I have what I think is an understanding of it, but I would like to see if I correctly understanding it. There may be others who have had similar experiences, so this may be a question of some general applicability.
I was having a session in which a friend of mine was using some hypnosis with me to do some past life clearing; I was in hypnosis, and he was the hypnotist at the time. After I had worked on clearing on the past life material, I began to experience an inrushing, from head to toe, of a tremendous amount of energies. There was a sensation like a cool wind from this energy, and with my eyes closed, I could see clairvoyantly, I could see it as a tremendous light, very brilliant light. It went on for about a half hour, and I had various experiences while it was going on. I even had some muscle spasm, not painful, but my hands were sort of paralyzed and twisting, there was such an inrush of energy. And I had the unusual experience of seeing something as if pieces of my finer bodies were breaking apart and flying away from me under the pressure of this energy. It was like black outlines of the shape of my body were flying in pieces away from me. And it was as if the light was so brilliant that they were dark against the light, the way a person who stands against a bright light, their face will be in shadow, there’ll be a silhouette. Is it possible to comment on what that experience was?
I am Q’uo, and we may speak in a general fashion, my sister.
The source of all distortions is the limitation of the point of view, as has been stated by those known to this group as Ra. Each belief which an entity contains and forms and by which it lives serves to offer certain opportunities for experience to that entity. When that belief or group of beliefs has been fully utilized, then there is the need to move beyond that belief and to enlarge the point of view, or the field of vision.
When this enlarging of the point of view meets some resistance, perhaps due to the comfortable nature of an old belief which has perhaps become likened unto a friend, the entity then may begin to experience a limitation within this area which may be expressed in any of a number of ways which will be perceived by the entity as a difficulty or perhaps even a mental or physical disease of one kind or another. This may in fact occur from incarnation to incarnation, so that those patterns previously experienced in a fruitful manner in an earlier portion of the incarnation or in another incarnation may then become sources for the agitation or irritation within the total being of the entity.
When such a limiting belief or knot or tangle of thought is released by whatever means, there is a release of the energy which was used to form and hold that belief in place in order that it might be of service. This energy then is free to be utilized in forming yet another field or scope or reach of possibility which will then further allow the entity to experience more of that which is its food for growth, the catalyst which becomes experience.
