Doesn't seem any more far-fetched than a Social Memory Complex, asking rocks to dance themselves into perfect pyramids, and myriad other seemingly 'weird' stuff in the Law of One.

Where we each draws the line between the credible and the dubious is a matter of great humor. Wink
LOL! It's true, I will readily admit that there is a degree of paradox when it comes to this sort of thing. But I do see a difference between say, the existence of social memory complexes and say, the existence of moon bases.
(please wait a second while I get my heretic hat on...)
I suppose the way the line gets drawn for me is my belief that Ra is fallible. When we decide that Ra is indeed infallible, then we can proceed to rationalize such things as moon bases, underwater bases, big foot(feet?), light speed space craft, etc. and etc. Now then, Monica made an excellent point in that a negative cannot be proven, this is true. May be that they are all true. But it requires a stretch of the imagination to make these things work, a great stretch and the invalidation of many, many things that we know to be true about our world today. Social memory complexes do not require this sort of stretch and they do not require the invalidation of science and history- they are beyond our dimension entirely so there is no conflict.
It may also be worth mentioning that we also cannot prove or disprove the existence of the flying spaghetti monster, coffee cups orbiting Neptune, or a great many other things that may be mentioned in other channeled texts (certainly there is a lot of crazy sounding stuff out there, no?).
Your mentioning (Monica) of the pyramids is another good example, because I extend the same sort of examination towards that topic. It was actually instrumental in my decision to consciously decide that TLOO should not be my only source in making up my spiritual belief system. I now examine a wider range of works and find value in seeing where they overlap, and where they do not. In that way I have been able to get a better understanding of "the bigger picture", so to speak.
Anyhow, I am indeed happy to let the topic rest and echo again my respect for what anyone else chooses to believe in, but since the idea was suggested that it is strange to question certain parts while accepting other parts was raised, I felt compelled to chime in again.
And at the end of the day, what's really important is that the Law of One does contain so many gems of wisdom that ring true to the heart, I'm sure we can all agree... and AMEN!
