in the following passage, Ra makes a distinction between the attitude and action of 'guiding' and that of 'teaching'.
how do you understand this difference?
I noticed that Ra on many occasions turned down Don when he asked for personal advice on - 'what should I do?', rather than asking for the information that would elucidate a certain principle of action.
it's a subtle difference, but one that speaks to taking responsibility for our life choices, and the sort of questions that we ask.
Quote:9.3 Questioner: The healing exercises that you gave to us are [of] such a nature that it is best to concentrate on [a] particular exercise at a time. I would like to ask at this time what exercise I should concentrate on… possibly a little exercise change… should concentrate on [inaudible], say tonight?
Ra: I am Ra.
Again, to direct your judgment is an intrusion upon your space/time continuum distortion called future. To speak of past or present within our distortion/judgment limits is acceptable.
To guide rather than teach/learn is not acceptable to our distortion in regards to teach/learning.
We, instead, can suggest a process whereby each chooses the first of the exercises given in the order in which we gave them, which you, in your discernment, feel is not fully appreciated by your mind/body/spirit complex.
This is the proper choice, building from the foundation, making sure the ground is good for the building. We have assessed for you the intensity of this effort in terms of energy expended. You will take this in mind and be patient for we have not given a short or easy program of consciousness learn/teaching.
