Quietude & Asylum...

[Poet]

I strongly researched all this "conspiracy" stuff and I still believe that for instance the story about 9/11 cannot be true. But I'm not so attached by it anymore and I hardly spend time to examine any theory. I discovered that I didn't show so much discernment like before and became more and more a Cynic.

Nevertheless, there are definitely powers out there which have quite a subtle influence over each individual on this planet imo. Just look onto the design of this current economic system: How for instance money is created and how it flows into the economy. Of course, when it comes to things like the so-called "Illuminati", it is hard to prove that they exist. But it is also hard to prove that they don't.

Hidden Hand wrote in this context that "if you wish to enslave a man, allow him to believe that he is already free." Ultimately, conspiracy theories are just possible explanations for the reality we perceive. To reject them without any discernment is just as stupid as to embrace them without any critical thinking.

By the way, Ra was also a "conspiracy theorist" when it talked about the supposedly existing crafts of the US as most of you know. In this context, Jim discusses "conspiracy theories" in book five.

Jim: Early in the Ra contact we received answers to our questions which fell into a controversial portion of our third-density illusion. Almost everyone, at some point within the study of the paranormal, spends some time being fascinated by the so-called “conspiracy theories” which have generally to do with the supposedly unseen groups and individuals who are said to be the real powers behind governments and their activities in the world today.
Such theories usually hold that the news reports that we hear and read concerning politics, economics, the military, and so forth are but the tip of a very large iceberg that has mainly to do with various schemes for world domination and which function through the secret activities of this small, elite group of human beings and their alien allies.

The following information falls into this category and resulted from a follow-up question Don asked about UFOs and their sources. You will note Don’s incredulous attitude throughout this portion of his questioning. It was our decision to remove this information from Book One of The Law of One because we felt it to be entirely unimportant and of a transient nature since knowing it adds nothing to one’s ability or desire to seek the truth and the nature of the evolutionary process, whether the information is true or not.
In fact, knowing and continuing to seek this kind of information can become a major stumbling block to one’s spiritual journey because it removes one’s attention from the eternal truths which may serve anyone’s journey—at any time—and places it upon that which is only of fleeting interest and of little use spiritually. Concentrating on conspiracy theories and their participants tends to reinforce the illusion of separation and ignores the love that binds all things as One Being. If we had continued to pursue this particular line of questioning, or any other line of questioning of a transient nature, we would soon have lost the contact with those of Ra because, as Ra mentioned in the very first session, Ra communicated with us through a “narrow band” of vibration or wave length.

Edit: Btw, this image of Kant with the proverb is great!
