two thoughts:
1. Re Ra, Ascension, Suicide: There is one question in the books that directly asks about suicide, and the answer isn't ascension but enormous healing. Only by misinterpreting the information can you conclude that suicide is prompted by Ra.
2. Although I disagree with you assesment of the credibility of the source, I find the work as a philosophical piece extremely informative (I believe L/L Research to be largely credible, I've always cared zero about the credibility of any source from which I read phiolosophy (and the Law of One is most interesting for its philosophical concepts rather than anything else)). Philosophy makes sense to me, or doesn't, independent of the source. If a billion monkeys typing randomly over thousands of years came up with an interesting philosophy by sheer randomness, I would like it based on the information it conveyed, whether or not the monkeys even knew what they were conveying. The monkey example is actually one discussed in classical philosophy as to the nature of knowledge - ie if a thousand monkeys randomly generated shakespeare's play Macbeth (and this in a world that otherwise did not have the play Macbeth), would that make Macbeth any less meaningful? I think the consensus is no, that would not make the knowledge contained in Macbeth any less meaningful. Philosophical knowledge is indepedent of the source.
In the end, you move from your mind to your heart. Your heart doesn't care about credibility, because it can directly recongize philosophical concepts that ring true for your life experiences.
But then again, I find the universe speaks to me everywhere, from randomness, to the kindness of strangers, to being the target of ill intentioned individuals. So truly, I care not about the credibility of the source, for I see meaning everywhere.
And in the end, we are all different, we all have free will, and so it only makes sense that there are many different paths back to the Creator. The one you are on may be different than mine, but ultimately it's the same destination, as long as you want to get there. Time has no meaning there. So see you on the shores of eternity sometime in the future
