APW, thanks for your post and thanks for actually quoting the Q&A in question.
Chandlersdad, I've noticed a few times now that, in addition to speaking on something Ra actually did say, you've laid critiques on things Ra said that . . . Ra didn't say.
This is not to rebuff criticism itself - critique is healthy and helpful. It's only to request that if you're going to say, "Ra said such and such," that you quote the relevant material that is bending you out of shape, thereby anchoring and grounding your analysis into the actual text.
In this case had the quote been provided it would have been clear that, as APeacefulWarrior pointed out, Ra says nothing about the Civil War transpiring in 1853, the center-point of your argument.
Many thanks and blessings to your continued study. I'm not sure that you're finding the material actually helpful but whether from this source or another, I hope you find the Creator within the self, as the self.
