Continuing a re-read of the material with an angle for creating a study group. Any thoughts or ideas about these things would be very useful! Not looking for objective interpretations or a debate, but rather a range of perspectives. If possible, please use the "View Source" function (the button to the far right on the toolbar) and copy+paste each point into it's own quote tags.

until the one known as Muhammad delivered the peoples into a more intelligible distortion of mind/body/spirit relationships.

Someone once debated that the term "a more intelligible distortion" did not necessarily mean positive in nature, criticizing Muhammad’s teachings in their historical context as being negative in nature rather than positive. Could Ra have possibly meant more intelligible, yet negatively polarizing?

It's possible, but I think it's hard to say from our perspective how negatively polarizing Muhammad's INITIAL message was. We have to take into account that, like the Bible, a lot of negative information was added throughout time. I'm not that familiar with Islam at all, so I can't really say. But Ra was juxtaposing Muhammad's teaching with the downfall of Akhenaten's teaching and subsequent paganism. So what Ra is saying is that Muhammad delivered people into a more intelligible distortion of the LOO than Akhenaten was able to.

The other ingredient is a proper alignment with the energy fields of the planet upon which you dwell and the holistic or cosmic distortions or streamings which enter the planetary aura in such a manner that an appropriate ratio of shapes and placement within these shapes is of indicated aid in the untangling or balancing process.

Does this mean that crystal healing may be less effective in some places on Earth where the alignment isn't "proper" or maybe not conducive to the energy streamings?

We unfortunately don’t know the proper alignments with the energy field. If we did, could this be empirically examined in some way?

I think Ra is talking about the healer being aligned with the energy fields of the planet, which do flux but I am assuming Ra means that a healer must be compatibly working with Gaian energies to use a crystal to heal. Being receptive, in short.

This, of course, takes initiation, and there have never been many to persevere to the extent of progressing through the various distortion leavings which initiation causes.

What does the term “distortion leavings” mean?

Why have there been so few to persevere to the extent of progressing through them? Is Ra saying that initiation is a rather difficult experience and not everyone is able to make it fully through initiation, thus not able to smooth out the distortions which affect their ability to be an effective healer?

Whenever one is having tough catalyst, I analogize that with "distortion leavings." Many people on the Law of One path get stuck somewhere, we see it every day here - those who are stuck in and, not yet progressing through, an "initiation" phase. For example, when Don exited our planet, Ra said he was going through an initiation phase that he, obviously, did not progress through.

106.12 Questioner: I’m going to come back to a couple of points here, but I have to get in a question here about myself. It’d seem to be critical at this point. Can Ra tell me what is physically wrong with me, and what’s causing it, and what I could do to alleviate it?

Ra: I am Ra. The questioner is one also in the midst of further initiation. During this space/time the possibility for mental/emotional distortion approaching that which causes the entity to become dysfunctional is markèd. Further, the yellow-ray, chemical vehicle of the questioner is aging and has more difficulty in the absorption of needed minerals such as iron and other substances such as papain, potassium, and calcium.

"Further" initiation. We are always gonna test ourselves. Sometimes it gets hard and we want to give up. Those who do give up are those who haven't been able to make it through the various "distortion leavings", and if they eventually do they will come out on the other side, well, must less distorted.

The stones are alive. It has not been so understood by the mind/body/spirit distortions of your culture.

What exactly does it mean that the stones are alive? Are they different from regular stone? (i.e. are other stones "dead"?)

And how might our culture have understood this without Ra telling us?

I think Ra is saying that all stones are alive. That everything is alive. I think a lot of people who have worked with crystals (before knowing Ra) would be the holders of this knowledge. Most people still think of crystals as pure hogwash.

Pyramid after pyramid charged by the crystal and initiate were designed to balance the incoming energy of the One Creation with the many and multiple distortions of the planetary mind/body/spirit.

"Pyramid after pyramid charged..." Does this mean that the pyramids themselves can be charged? I had always imagined that the pyramids were the ones "doing the charging," but this seems to imply otherwise.

The whole quote seems to imply that there is a benefit in balancing the energy which comes into the earth’s field (probably related to the EM field) with the distortions of the planet. Ra says elsewhere that our actions upon the planet, and in our oneness with the planet, we have imbalanced the planet’s distortions.

What are the implications of this? What are the benefits of balancing the incoming energy with these distortions? What are the detriments of this remaining imbalanced? Does this perhaps affect a healer’s ability to heal? Would an entity upon the planet, even if it were perfectly balanced itself, still be affected by the imbalanced energies of the planet?

I think the pyramids themselves were charged. Again, look at the analog of of the crystal. Sure, one can use a crystal as-is, but once a balanced entity CHARGES the crystal, there is exponentially more power.
The implications of an imbalanced planet are what we see a lot of - poor health, poor stewardship for nature. Balancing these energies is really important. I'm sure an incarnate healer is affected by earth's energy signature - I think that's the whole point, of incarnating. To let the imbalances arise and to learn to work with them. I think a "perfectly balanced" entity on this planet is almost impossible and rare - I think at that point you just ascend. I think all incarnate beings are affected by the energies of the planet.

We are pleased that you asked this question for it is not our understanding that we have the right/duty to share our perceptions on any subject but philosophy without direct question.

Does Ra give themselves a little bit more leeway to share beyond questioning if the topic is philosophical rather than specific, transient, historical, etc.?

I think definitely. Most of the philosophical statements are veiled to be at different levels of understanding, so as not to break freewill.
