ShinAr,
I recommend you reading the Law of One : Ra Materials book 1-5 so you can understand where the bring4th forum members are coming from. It's like reading for a class you're about to attend, it does no good when you don't know the material for a group discussion. I've read both the Law of One: Ra Materials and The Children of the Law of One by Jon Peniel. I find that the teaching does overlap. The Ra Materials offers a more cosmic view(beyond good and evil, beyong positive and negative) while Jon Peniel's book offers a more 4 Density localized view(having both negative and positive forces). He talks a lot about the different levels of Love and the selfish self and the selfless. This is the same as the two paths of the Ra materials, the service to self and service to others path. I know the Jon Peniel doesn’t not condone Channeling in his beliefs, but to take that statement and rule out that all channeling is bad and no good information can come from it might close you off to higher learning and understanding.
You have to understand that you can never take in transient information too literally from any book you read. It’s the truth and philosophy in them that you should take away from and not the names, dates, places or traditions of any book. I did this with both books and took away important information and learning that I believed to be the truth.
An Orange and a Mandarin can be described by words and be mistaken by one for the other. You have to actually see, taste and feel them to know that they are different and very much similar but not the same thing.
