Crawling in the dark with a candle

[Nabil Naser]

Such a wonderful post, I love it

Notice that Ra never answered a question when it appeared that someone may take his view as absolute truth. They insisted that they are not here to offer proof, at the same time that they insisted that they are teaching the truth as they know it.

We are not Ra. We are young and inexperienced. There is no way for us to be like Ra within the few years that we have left, and the possible experiences that we can go through. Some experiences may be outside our grasp, no matter what we do.

I am glad that you have brought this subject up for discussion.

Yes, we can go to the beach and enjoy the sun and beauty of nature
At the end of the day, we have to go back home.
That's where we are our best
and where we can give, "or receive", more

Hey everyone,

Zenmaster and I have been talking in another thread (bilambil alien video thread... http://www.bring4th.org/forums/showthrea...on=newpost) and have been moving in to some new topics. So I wanted to start a new thread... here is a part of my most recent post.
-----------------------------------

So it's a 'good thing' that channeling or new-age thought is ignored or even laughed at, because it often is not capable of offering anything of value to a lot of the development that takes place here. If the wanderers presenting the information never bothered to bridge their own lower and higher levels of understanding (i.e. not capable of reaching down), how can they ever expect their audience to include those who are 'reaching up'?

As far as it being good or bad, I don't really know. It just is as it is, although it makes me feel bad sometimes, ha! Which of course is a quick indicator that I've something to work on there. But anyways, I agree with a part of the above in that there are very specific lessons to be learned here on Earth in a 3D body, that you just can't get any other way so quickly. (I am reminded of what Ra said about crawling in the dark with a candle and working vs. seeing everything at once and in full context, but being unable to do the work) And that's why we're here of course, to crawl and learn. I've thought about that a bit lately, actually. There are lots of threads here on the forum where we're trying to dissect and understand things like time/space, octaves, infinity and so on. While this is sort of fun to me, it's really an exercise in intellectual thought and not essential in any way to what we came here to do. It might even be distracting if taken to excess. I mean, why would we go to the trouble of being born, then going through all our years of growth and development, just to become an expert on something we were an expert on by default before we were born? Not just that, but doing so now with only part of the story (Ra material) and doing it in the opposite dimension (space/time) where our very nature as physical beings makes it really hard to understand, even if we got it right?

I say it's a far better use of time to try and understand the relationship you have with your father in law. Or to figure out just why you get angry when your spouse doesn't put her shoes to the side of the room instead of leaving them in the middle... Or do try and figure out why your first response is a lie when you are asked about being late for a meeting. Or, of course, taking on the bigger and more obvious issues you might have. (We <i>all</i> have <i>some</i> issues...) That's the real meat of what we're doing here I think- even if we get the conclusions wrong, the mere effort of trying to love more honestly or live more in harmony with yourself is a worthy goal and probably means the world to our overall goals across incarnations.
