So, I just wanted to follow up on this.
A few days ago I finished a full re-read of Books 1-4. This to me is the heart of the material; I'm reading Book 5 but it doesn't have the same gravity or cadence as the first four.
As I read through with fresh eyes, I see that these sessions were presented with as complete transparency as possible. This strikes me as much more important than a concentrated dose of Law of One philosophy. I appreciate not just the human narrative that the sessions make plain but also the adept's narrative; the uncertain but faith-filled manner in which Don tries to both explore and serve, sometimes with remarkable success, sometimes with as flat a failure as a "No." from Ra.
This isn't just a body of philosophical material, after all; it's an experience that happened to people. To focus only on the nuggets of insight is to have a more distorted view than is necessary. I see that now; thanks for everybody's patience with me.
