What's missing for me in my opinion is... what is exactly the "Law of One"? when reading the wiki page there is no hint to it or even any kind of description to potential readers.
On top of explaining that this is a channeled material, which claims Ra supposedly is an extraterrestrial civilization who offers views on spiritual evolution I think there should be a section explaining what the Law of One actually means and how it is even relevant to anything.
If possible that section would connect to concepts such as monism, pantheism, pandeism, transcendence(religion), immanence, panenthiesm somehow since Ra's description of oneness has some degrees of all of these concepts I listed from wikipedia.
If I am making any sense I welcome some input because I think describing the main concept of the Law of One would really open up what the books/material is actually about to anyone who stumbles onto the article.
You are making sense. The wikipedia protocol is to summarize what published sources say about a topic, rather than to write one's own opinions. However, since this is a page about a series of books, it's appropriate that there be some indication of what the books are about.
You will meet opposition, though, in part from people that don't think wikipedia should cover anything "woo-woo". I recommend creating an account so that your edits won't be anonymous and discussing your proposed changes on the talk page before you make them. Be prepared to articulate your ideas and to defend them.
I also recommend reading through the tortuous history of the wikipedia Law of One pages and nominations for deletions so that you're prepared for the kind of responses that you'll get.
