Tired Philosopher, I support you 100%. Hate to lose you--I think you contribute a lot--but you gotta do what's right for you.
I want to impress just one idea on you: the message of Ra and the other Confederation entities that we've heard is just one take. And not only one take; it's necessarily incomplete, to the extent it is expressed in words that have to piece together ideas from symbols and grammar, let alone any distortions that may have been introduced.
There are elements of how you express your take on things that seem incomplete to me. But if I were to share my nitpicks, I'd be sharing a similarly incomplete understanding. None of us have all the pieces except to the extent we're able to connect with information that transcends our present view of things. So don't let one conception of the Law of One be a stumbling block.
Here's another idea: the things you perceive that frighten you may or may not have validity--who knows for sure? But if they are true, then they must be accepted, no? And if they're false, then they have no real danger, no? This is why the role model of Law of One students, in my humble opinion, is not the magician or the hierophant but the fool who knows he doesn't know.
I'd say you're more a Law of One student than ever because you're living the philosophy emotionally, not just mentally. In the same way you didn't understand all of Ra's concepts the first time you read, maybe there's an emotional balance that you can achieve through further exploration of these fearful ideas. But if nothing else, trust your gut and keep living the life of the heart.
Take care brother.
