heya Jeremy,
there is no doubt that unless one is
living one's philosophy, then it does no-one any good.
In Ra's system, that would be paying attention to your daily catalyst, paying attention to your dreams, setting aside some free time each day to analyse and process the experiences that are caught in your mind, thereby using your life to the utmost.
Quote:41.19 The key to balance may then be seen in the unstudied, spontaneous, and honest response of entities toward experiences, thus using experience to the utmost, then applying the balancing exercises and achieving the proper attitude for the most purified spectrum of energy center manifestation in violet ray.
There are also a lot of scientific/technical topics in Ra. These are very curious, and obviously, when one had Ra on the telephone line, one could get additional and trustworthy information. But using the current information as a springboard, and try to extrapolate further conclusions is obviously going to be the 3d mind wandering around in it's own distortions, as it does not have the eagle eye perspective of a social memory complex.
On the further topic of escapism and fantasy generation, that is something quite common in spiritual circles. Despite best intentions, one often ends up seeking in the spiritual fields when one has been utterly disappointed by the current social paradigms, and the seeking is almost an act of desperation. Life is no longer satisfying in itself, so one seeks solace in this system or that system of spiritual data.
I have seen people grow and flourish in these forums. From when they first arrived, till when they decided to depart, a great learning trajectory can be seen. There are also other cases where nothing much has changed - and either they are already very well developed and satisfied with who they are, or they have rejected the opportunities for change and self-examination.
For me, I don't post on other forums, because usually I only drop into those other forums to scan for information, or to get an overview of the expertise available from established members. This place, however, is only fully utilised if one is willing to ask questions, and thereby tap into the potential life experience of other members. You put a little bit in ... and a vast amount of multiplication goes on as the end result. Of course, that is predicated on the nature of the seeking and the questions that one is aligning to, as you referenced in your post.
Carla herself wrote a book called
Living the Law of One, of which she has so kindly provided the
full pdf online - although one can also purchase the hardcopies. Perhaps that is a bit of a hint and a nudge in the title itself, as to where the most fruitful focus of our attentions could be.
Namaste brother.
