I would further point out that by examining the resultant work in such detail vis-a-vis a much less distorted work called the Law of One, and thereby questioning the entire process of Council review of material to be transmitted, thereby creating suspicion of the least distorted work available at time present, we are in reality creating this poor Social Memory Complex a lot more work....I say, let's give him a break and stop dwelling on his mistake (though I'm sure Ra wouldn't refer to it as one),

whitefeather Wrote:Agreed here too! We now live in another time (if there is such a thing!). I mean that when one has read the Law of One, the Book of Oashpe looks like a step before, which, and we are grateful for its existence, may however have been a necessary step for rendering possible the contact with Ra.
I would in all fairness never wish to end any originator's post if there were more questions or study wishing to be asked or explored. I'm sure the Council might agree, in as much as it might not be the "mistake" it so lightly has been assumed it is. I surely don't know. I have admitted it left me greatly puzzled, particularly after such an arduous read to be sure. A-h-h-h..."But I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now" (Bob Dylan).
The fact that it is puzzling however doesn't make it unworthy of a quick study or questioning by any means, such as Lavazza and more recently Whitefeather offered with his above post, but most especially as Ra shared it passed the Council. To my knowledge and recollection this is the single book ever given this kudo to by Ra. That makes it different than any other book as a result, second only to the LOO by logic alone. I would further speculate that "our time" (the LOO) verses "that time" (the Oashpe) is no doubt far less time to the Council which passed it, and that a truth would stand the test of time in any case to a greater extent than to a lessor, this at the very least in considering the span of only a mere two hundred years (two grandfathers for heaven's sake). Perhaps this argument would be better made as regards several million millennium. I don't know.
To perhaps a more noble point however, I would respectfully as a group at the very least offer as a rule in civility that it always be the originator's call as opposed to any of it's participants of whether to end a thread or not, assuming the thread is within the guidelines. As such Lavazza, it is in my humble estimation, for whatever thats worth, that its your call and yours alone, as it should be as regards any thread. Beware however that once an originator has given a gift, that it might just keep giving and giving, even if you do wish to end it, this by virtue of the fact that any participant might continue to wish to explore nonetheless...as he should.
I will offer I have little more to add however, and that in large part this thread has perhaps progressed and grown into a more interesting one on the "Distortion Principle" under the "Confederation" thread on "Life On Planet Earth." We may refer to the "infringement of free will principle" there, as well as to the Oashpe to a lessor extent in general as example only. In deference to you, or any originator, Oh Great Originator
of this the Oashpe thread, what sayeth thou? Q
