Mistakes vs errors

[Confused]

Several times, Ra said "there are no mistakes." And yet, they also acknowledged making errors in the transmissions through Carla and that the confederation had made errors and been mistaken in its efforts on earth.

So what's the difference? I'm thinking that maybe when they said "there are no mistakes" they meant that it's impossible to separate oneself from the creator; that all is experience that helps the creator learn about itself, while they considered errors to be minor and technical, glitches basically.

What do you think?

βαθμιαίος, something tells me that you are not any simple interpreter of the LOO material. Your words, though couched as a question, seem to hide behind them, great and unmistakeable internal realizations and learning, which you wish to place as seeds under the context of the highest form of respect for human freewill

I think connected with your question, is another important quote of Ra, which probably adds insight --

69.17 Questioner: This is a point that I find quite confusing to me.

It is the function of the free will of the positively oriented entity to move into the negatively polarized time/space. However, it is also a function of his lack of understanding of what he is doing. I am sure that if the entity had full understanding of what he was doing he would not do it. It is a function of his negatively polarized other-self creating a situation where he is lured to that configuration. What is the principle with respect to the first distortion that allows this to occur since we have two portions of the Creator, each of equal value or of equal potential, but oppositely polarized and we have this situation resulting. Could you tell me the philosophical principle behind this particular act?

Ra: I am Ra. There are two important points in this regard. Firstly, we may note the situation wherein an entity gets a road-map which is poorly marked and in fact is quite incorrect. The entity sets out to its destination. It wishes only to reach the point of destination but, becoming confused by the faulty authority and not knowing the territory through which it drives, it becomes hopelessly lost.

Free will does not mean that there will be no circumstances when calculations will be awry. This is so in all aspects of the life experience. Although there are no mistakes, there are surprises.

Secondly, that which we and you do in workings such as this carries a magical charge, if you would use this much misunderstood term, perhaps we may say a metaphysical power. Those who do work of power are available for communication to and from entities of roughly similar power. It is fortunate that the Orion entity does not have the native power of this group. However, it is quite disciplined whereas this group lacks the finesse equivalent to its power. Each is working in consciousness but the group has not begun a work as a group. The individual work is helpful for the group is mutually an aid, one to another.
