Quote:Now... 30 years later... we students of the Ra material are still struggling to understand the message. And we are continuing to be targeted as to perpetuate the confusion. Perhaps by the self-same entities. Considering all the "wild and crazy" ideas that get tossed around this forum... it is really so strange of a proposition?

I and Icaro have now documented several examples of potential links between solar activity, negative attack, and confusing quotes from the Ra material, in this thread. I think there is now a substantial enough pile of evidence here to warrant being taken "seriously".
To be honest, I think the information on the harvest is rather straightforward but we are susceptible to confusing ourselves. Ra clearly says in several ways how the harvest is an event that is occurring in the present tense. When we start weighing the meaning of specific words and getting wrapped up in the details, it only causes confusion. I always refrained from harvest discussions because these details tend to be blown way out of proportion in an attempt to explain an instant harvest, and when you try to work within the confines of confusion it only sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about. I had no desire to make sense of the harvest in detail, but when I tried to enter the discussion, I found myself grasping.
My theory on these allegories is simply for the purpose of taking the information a step further. It is an additional or reinforcing explanation if you will, but I don't find it to be central in understanding the material. It is simply an "A-ha!" moment hidden within. Ra, in speaking about the pollution of their message in history, seems to be hinting at the nature of the seekers mind and how it can lead one astray by seeking out unnecessary details.
Ironically, in exploring the details you realize that Ra is telling us valuable information and speaking generally. They seem to be telling a story of how people confuse themselves and fall prey to negative manipulation.
So my intention of this thread was to approach the details philosophically and transcend them. Whether or not the allegories are true is irrelevant in the end (to me the material strongly suggests they are), but in examining them we exercise the mind and apply the philosophical concepts that Ra gave us. Consider the tarot, which Ra seems to value highly. It is a visual teaching tool which Ra says we will all subtly interpret differently but the essential meaning remains the same. While the Law of One is direct, the details seem to have layers of interpretation which Ra probably intended. Thank you for the kind words Tenet!
