Of all the things that indicate any hint of negativity, it is the price Don Elkins paid -- I think it comes as quite a shock to first-time readers, I know it did to me -- and the part about displacing MBS complexes in negative time/space. I really wonder why the stuff about the 5th density negative visitor was not transient, why those of Ra volunteered this information, since there's nothing specific to be done about it, and it only can cause fear.
There is also the fact of their implying that the most positive route is to simply love the entity at all times, and thus refrained from sharing its identity, even when Don asked they made a statement which implied that if they knew its name that that in itself would tempt them to the negative path. There are many times where Ra makes statements which offer a choice, but which clearly imply which is 'the positive' one. This is where I see it strange that Ra seemed to become biased towards Love and not Wisdom, yet they have already progressed beyond those densities? There are just little nudges here and there that make me go, "why did they do that?" Aren't they actually influencing their free will more by WITHHOLDING information? If they were given all the details they could make a fully informed decision, but it seems to be up to Ra how much is too much. That's not very positive and transparent in my eyes. All predicated on Ra's 'higher' position in 6D so of course they can see the possibilities and probabilities and already know what the group 'might' do and so clearly need to damage control before anything happens, right? I dunno, seems weird to me. It all seems to just reinforce trust in the narrative. Ra never makes any statements like Q'uo about 'take what resonates and leave what doesn't', they speak with more absolutes.
Also there are times where Don straight up asks about something and Ra says "No", and forces him to 'try and figure it out himself', but isn't Don asking the question trying to gain more understanding? It just seems Ra's openness wavers at their convenience.
As Unity100 suggested above, the bluntness of the material is sure to rub plenty of people the wrong way at first interaction, but I've been reading the material for years and I think I'd fairly say that that is not what makes it feel off for me. I don't come from a background of bubbly new age philosophy so I never had that pre-conception.
