The Language Barrier in the Ra Material

[Shawnna]

I confess to finding the Ra Material incredibly difficult to read and comprehend.  I get the gist (I think) of most of the sessions but that's about it.

I certainly wouldn't try and use the material as my own personal guidance as the language used is very difficult for me to comprehend.

What resonated so deeply for me was the All is One concept, Love, STS and STO.  I consider myself a deeply spiritual, Christian mystic and reading Carla's speeches feels quite often like they were written for and to me. 

This is hard to admit and is one of the reasons I don't post often; I don't feel qualified to comment on the Ra Material itself. 

How did you feel when you read the part where he described Jehoshua?

Having been exposed to many different Christian paths (Catholic, Mormon, Evangelical), I've come to what I consider to be a very unusual view of Jesus.  In particular, this session and my bold emphasis resonated with respect to Jesus:

Questioner: The instrument asked the following question: Ra has implied that the instrument is on a path of martyrdom, but since all die are we not all martyr to something? When, if ever, does martyrdom partake of wisdom?

Ra: I am Ra. This is a thoughtful query. Let us use as exemplar the one known as Jehoshua. This entity incarnated with the plan of martyrdom. There is no wisdom in this plan but rather understanding and compassion extended to its fullest perfection. The one known as Jehoshua would have been less than fully understanding of its course had it chosen to follow its will at any space/time during its teachings. Several times, as you call this measure, this entity had the possibility of moving towards the martyr’s place which was, for that martyr, Jerusalem. Yet in meditation this entity stated, time and again, “It is not yet the hour.” The entity could also have, when the hour came, walked another path. Its incarnation would then have been prolonged but the path for which it incarnated somewhat confused. Thusly, one may observe the greatest amount of understanding, of which this entity was indeed capable, taking place as the entity in meditation felt and knew that the hour had come for that to be fulfilled which was its incarnation.

It is indeed so that all mind/body/spirit complexes shall die to the third-density illusion; that is, that each yellow-ray physical-complex body shall cease to be viable. It is a misnomer to, for this reason alone, call each mind/body/spirit complex a martyr, for this term is reserved for those who lay down their lives for the service they may provide to others. We may encourage meditation upon the functions of the will.
