If Ra's mythology conflicts too much with the one you already have, then maybe it isn't for you. Or, since it seems you're hopelessly addicted to this cycle, dive in and embrace the juicy catalyst you have given yourself. No one outside of you will have the answers - shoot, if you're not satisfied with what Ra has to say, how can you be satisfied with our attempts to refute??
I have a question for you, Chandlersdad: Do you meditate?
Quote:5.2 Questioner: We have decided to accept, if offered, the honor/duty of learning/teaching the healing process. I would ask as to the first step which we should accomplish in becoming effective healers.
Ra: I am Ra. We shall begin with the first of the three teachings/learnings.
We begin with the mental learn/teachings necessary for contact with intelligent infinity. The prerequisite of mental work is the ability to retain silence of self at a steady state when required by the self. The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence.
None of this will ever make sense if you try to solve the riddles with your logical mind alone.
So instead of simply explaining how Lincoln could have been weary of the Civil War in 1853 when it did not start until 1861, you ask "do you meditate?" Actually, I have been meditating since the early 80's on a daily basis. But meditation is not meant to make you stupid when it comes to glaring discrepancies like this.
I asked about meditation because it seems often that when people find the Ra material and have a lot of questions, that they haven't asked the questions within. That's what meditation is for. I was under the impression that Ricdaw explained what would have made Lincoln weary with his life path at 1853 adequately from a historical buff's point of view. So why are you still stuck on this point? Ra is terrible with translating numbers and dates anyway, so to get so worked about about something so nebulous - something that can essentially be likened to a dream had by someone else almost 200 years ago - seems too much for me.
I can work on relating the history (again) for you. Lincoln was 52 in 1853 - he was a lawyer and a congressman up until this time. He was strongly opposed to the Mexican-American war (1846), to the point where he thought it would make him lose his congress seat, but it didn't. He also served as a captain in the Blackhawk War (1832). In between those years, as ricdaw showed, was a lot more killing of Mexicans and Native Americans for "manifest destiny" purposes. He was also outspoken about slavery beginning in the 1830's as well. I found all of this out by skimming his wikipedia page.
