Dear third-density-being,
Adding notes actually does not make this material perfect or flawless. These errors detected by Don and Ra during the contact have already proved the limitations of Ra. The purpose of the editing is to make the material as undistorted as possible, rather than to make the material perfect or to let Ra look like a "God". We should not confound the former with the latter.
Thus, in my opinion, there is no problem to note these errors that have been corrected by Don and Ra during the contact. Problems may come only when errors happened and were not detected during the Ra Contact, such as the case we are discussing. In that case, although I agree totally with your opinion that those imperfection / contradictions possess value and should not be changed under any circumstance, I do think a neutral note (basing on the Ra Material itself) may have its merits. For example, if the inconsistency between 69.11 and 70.6 is not noted, it is likely that lots of readers will not detect it and thusly miss the thrust of Don. Besides, without the note, some readers who do detect the inconsistency (such as me in the past) may be more confused by it.
That being said, without the note, it's also OK for me. I just hope that the text in question should not be changed, as long as it is possible that our viewpoints are right.
Now, after almost a week's discussions, there are only three people other than me who disagree with the latest edits in 70.6/7. Then, it may not be enough to convince the editor. In other words, the possibility/probability vortex I mentioned in my original post has not become a probability/possibility vortex yet.
I hope there will be more people who can share their viewpoints on this tough question in the following few weeks. All viewpoints, whether agree with us or not, are welcomed and counted.
Thank you again for your replying and sharing your opinions in this discussion.
Although both of us agree there is no need to change t/s to s/t in 70.6/7, I do have a different attitude as to the plans of editing. In other words, I think the plan of editing has its merits.

Quote:87.17 Questioner: Thank you. We noticed the possibility of a confusion between the term “mind/body/spirit” and “mind/body/spirit complex” in the last session. Were there a couple of misuses of those terms, shifting one for the other?Ra: I am Ra. There was an error in transmission. The use of the term “mind/body/spirit” should refer to those entities dwelling in third density prior to the veiling process, the term “mind/body/spirit complex” referring to those entities dwelling in third density after the veiling process. We also discover a failure on our part to supply the term “complex” when speaking of body after the veiling. Please correct these errors. Also, we ask that you keep a vigilant watch over these transmissions for any errors and question without fail as it is our intention to provide as undistorted a series of sound vibration complexes as is possible.
86.20 Questioner: Will you do this?
Ra: I am Ra. Yes. Let us deal with the sexual energy transfer. Before the veiling such a transfer was always possible due to there being no shadow upon the grasp of the nature of the body complex* and its relationship to other mind/body/spirit complexes** in this particular manifestation. Before the veiling process there was a near total lack of the use of this sexual energy transfer beyond green ray.
_____________
* Should be “body,” not “body complex.”
** Should be “mind/body/spirits,” not “mind/body/spirit complexes.”
Ra and Don corrected these errors in session 87.26.38 Questioner: ...... She states, please explain these blockages and energy transfers with emphasis upon what an individual seeking to be in accordance with the Law of One may positively do in this area? Is it possible for you to answer this question?Ra: ........
In third* ray there are two possibilities. Firstly, if both vibrate in third* ray there will be a mutually strengthening energy transfer, the negative or female, as you call it, drawing the energy from the roots of the beingness up through the energy centers, thus being physically revitalized; the positive, or male polarity, as it is deemed in your illusion, finding in this energy transfer an inspiration which satisfies and feeds the spirit portion of the body/mind/spirit complex, thus both being polarized and releasing the excess of that which each has in abundance by nature of intelligent energy, that is, negative/intuitive, positive/physical energies as you may call them; this energy transfer being blocked only if one or both entities have fear of possession, of being possessed, of desiring possession or desiring being possessed.
* This should be fourth or green. Don and Ra corrected the error in session 32.
32.3 Questioner: From the material that you transmitted February 17th you stated: “In third ray there are two possibilities. Firstly, if both vibrate in third ray there will be a mutually strengthening energy transfer.” What color is third ray in this material?Ra: I am Ra. The ray we were speaking of in that material should be properly the green ray or fourth ray.
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. Please continue to scan for errors having to do with numberings, as you call them, as this concept is foreign to us and we must translate, if you will, when using numbers. This is an ongoing weakness of this contact due to the difference between our ways and yours. Your aid is appreciated.
From Ra's answer in 87.17, we know it is suggested by Ra that these errors that latter have been corrected by Ra and Don should be noted, in that Ra wants to provide as undistorted a series of sound vibration complexes as is possible. Without the notes in, for example, 86.20 or 26.38, readers who only read that session or only get research results from that session may not be aware of these errors. Thus, these notes are necessary in my eyes.
