Higher Being

[JustLikeYou]

Shin'Ar, thank you for offering perspectives from an alternate tradition. Your words have been very valuable to me, especially concerning the mandorle and the death card. I would have liked to hear your commentary on the rest of the Major Arcana, but what you must do you must do.

For what it's worth, I am just now learning that you have not read the Ra Material. The significant overlap between our traditions is, for me, a more profound sign than the differences that have revealed themselves.

I would also like to comment that my experience tells me that most people who find themselves drawn to the teachings of this particular work are so drawn because of intuition and resonance, not because they are desperate for something to believe in, as so many in religious traditions seem to be. When this work found me, I had no initiation in any esoteric tradition. I was a philosopher who had committed himself to building his own worldview from scratch because nothing else seemed to work. This work provided a framework with an internal coherence that is so profound and yet so simple, that every time I tried to prove Ra wrong in the course of my daily life, I found he was right. I do not cling to this work as a kind of self-identity, I honor it as it has, at every single turn, been a light in the darkness for me.

The Law of One is, of course, that All is One. Therefore, let peace be upon you, brother, for you are me and I am you. May your way be lit and your heart be light.
