(please let me know if I should make this a different post and/or in a different category)
Prior to discovering The Law of One, I studied Buddhism. I cannot help but see an inordinate amount of similarities between the beliefs/principals of Buddhism and The Law of One. For instance, reaching "enlightenment" and "nirvana" by "awakening" and seeing all is one, and giving unconditional love to everyone and everything.
Could these two "beliefs" be one in the same? Could entering Nirvana be transitioning to the 4th Density? Does one need to discover The Law of One and accept it as truth to "progress" to the next Density, or does simply practicing STO and giving unconditional love to everything promote you to the 4th Density?
Thanks in advance!!
It can be quoted in a new thread and continued there if it turns into a longer distinct discussion, but right now there's a mixture of various smaller questions explored here.
I'm not an expert on eastern religions and philosophies, and only know a rough outline. But I'm familiar with the more general esoteric/occult thought which took a clearer form roughly a century ago, and according to which there are subtler forms of all the world religions which, in the minds of the minorities with such interpretations, reach toward a unity of understanding even if symbols differ.
The cosmology of the Ra material is similar to that of some older esoteric traditions, and it wouldn't surprise to see a looser esoteric interpretation of Buddhism align with it, just like a looser esoteric interpretation of Christianity can.
The Law of One is less idea-centric, and includes the principle that "understanding is not of this [3rd] density", and that the leap beyond actually includes the understanding that understanding is something not yet reached and beyond the human level. I've seen some quotes of eastern philosophy run parallel to this, with the idea that all the words and symbols and explanations of the empty or illusion are all part of it and therefore equally empty.
The density of a being is part of what the being is, so a change means a change in practice rather than in theory, theory only serving a guiding role.
