Emotionally Charged words in Ra

[Plenum]

even though Ra tried to communicate as neutrally and factually as possible in their language, there are a couple of words (it seems to me) that seem to cause some difficulties for others (and even myself).

2 in particular spring to mind:

"discipline" - which Ra uses over 50 times, and which is with the intent of 'disciplines' as in trainings or practices or becoming skilled in ... and yet the word is charged because the word 'discipline' these days is associated with punishment of children and the enforcing of a behaviour from someone in a superior position. (for eg, I was 'disciplined' with a cane on one occasion in primary school, a practice which was banned soon afterwards).

"adept" - which Ra uses quite liberally (almost 100 times in total) and which is strictly factual; describing someone who has cleared the first 5 energy centres to the minimal degree that they are able to begin working with the indigo energy centre in a somewhat balanced fashion.

however, the word 'adept' is seen as someone giving off 'airs'; or making themselves out to be different or superior; and it would be seem to be true that one does not designate oneself as an 'adept'; but rather that one is 'recognised' as such; either by other 'adepts' (which causes a circular chain) or if someone really does have the 'eye' to see where the kundalini is (ie, that it has reached the 6th centre).

- -

anyway, these 2 words jumped out at me, as even though Ra uses them liberally, they are rarely invoked as descriptors when people talk about their own practice or theory.

anyways, just a few thoughts.

thanks.

I can see your point, but I think this is a case of judgment or triggers on the part of the reader.

I didn't take either word at all that way. I see the words as what you stated in meaning: factual. When I hear or read the word "discipline" I never think of the verb. I always think of the noun. Perhaps because I use so much discipline in my own life, especially as a self-employed person. And "adept" may have some connotation of superiority, but again, it is human judgment and struggle which injects that feeling. If one is confident and centered, one does not need to project superiority, or feel subjected to superiority from others. And of course, if one gets to the point where all is equal (or one)--where no thing is better or worse than any other thing--then no such emotional charge would get triggered.

(The above is qualified by what I think is an underlying reality of this existence: change/evolution. All is okay within that parameter. Resisting change/evolution seems to me against the natural flow of this universe.)

We live in a world with so many inequalities, and there is so much struggle to survive for so many, that it is understandable this sort of misunderstanding would spring from words such as these two.

I've had someone call me an adept, and that when I cleared energy in a city that it was stellar. I used to be able to shift energy patterns using my indigo ray. I don't any longer see myself as an adept, but I do feel like an indigo. In fact my fursona name is IndigoGeminiWolf. While the name I use when sending healing is Gemini Wolf. That's my spiritual name. I wonder if most adepts are wanderers or native 4Ders living in a dual body. My spirit feels like I call 6D time/space home.

Adept is a common word to describe one who has penetrated deeper into the mysteries as described in the mystery schools throughout history as well. These schools essentially say the same things but with different layers of meaning and, perhaps most importantly, shifting designatedly over time.

It seems adept is a common name to rank someone without 'ranking' someone when it comes to spiritual Work.

I agree. Recently, someone mentioned elitism in the Law of One, because of Ra's mention of Wanderers. So Wanderer could be added to the list. But again, it's the reader's perception, not Ra's use of the term, that triggers discomfort.

We could also discuss terms and concepts that trigger the most misunderstanding. Acceptance would top the list, in my opinion, followed by the concept of 'no right and wrong'/'no mistakes.'

I don't think it's wrong to realize you're a wanderer. It does not make me proud. It humbles me in fact.

Yesterday I saw an feather on the ground, which is representative of angels in your vicinity. The other day I was listening to Angels by Owl City. A good song btw. Today I noticed 444 on the clock, and looked up the meaning:

"Angel Number 444 is a message that the angels and Archangels are with you, encouraging and guiding you."

It's good to know that I have angels around me, in my vicinity.

I don't interpret any of their terms as negative catalyst. Maybe because I recognize they were merely intended to be as precise as possible. I think when someone has unresolved issues with hierarchies such as has been discovered for the green vmeme, they are unconsciously prone to that charge of projection. It tends to not mesh well with their recent discovery and integrarion of egalitarianism. When ever the opposite of what the charge suggests is not fully integrated, projection is ready to pounce as we readily see on these forums.

"Adept" became typical for left-hand path indeed.
