Most intriguing concepts:
-law of one and it's "distortions" as the illusion
-chakras as symbolic of densities and vice-versa
-hyperdimensional attacks considered as "greetings", the hidden act of love behind attacks
-chakra clearing through contemplative work rather than ineffectual energy exercises
-archetypes
-STS vs. STO

The only thing that I can really remember as being not so interesting to me personally at the time was the info on pyramids, banishment rituals....not much else that I can remember.

I do believe that the "sources" of the L/L Research channelings are of a very pure variety, as well as the actual channels, when compared to the phenomena of channeling itself and the people involved.  They don't seem to be out to make a buck as all of their materials of available to be accessed for free on their website.  As has already been pointed out, discernment is always a requirement to successfully digest the nutritious aspects of a teaching/info set and to leave the undigestible/toxic substances behind.  While they were helpful for me at the time and place of my personal quest, I know they may not be for others since we all come to what we know through a myriad of different sources.  I think heeding the disclaimer preceeding any "Confederation" channelings is a very safe idea.

StarCat, I'm extremely interested in reading your response to the questions posed to you.  You made some very intentionally targetted cryptic comments and suppositions and I would love to hear the "why" part of your reply to the topic.  It's been days now and you have posted elsewhere on NR in the meantime, I'm wondering if you are leaving us hanging on purpose or simply lack time to respond. Regardless, it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the matter as I'm always looking for stuff to help challenge my belief system.

The Ra material is a dangerous source and attempt to foster deep metaprogramming and permanently embed it in peoples' psyches and beyond into greater levels of their total being.

StarCat, I'm interested to hear more of your perspective on this.  Can you elaborate?

What is being repeated over and over again?  Can you be more specific?

What is the real issue that is not being directly addressed?

The topic of "hyperdimensional information" seems to me to be potentially very broad.  Can you elaborate on what you are referring to and what your concerns are?

There seems like there may be a lot of meaning packed into that sentence.  Do you care to say more?

Another large and potentially significant topic.  If things are being altered, then who or what is doing this and how is it done?  Perhaps that topic deserves it's own thread, and I think that there are other similar threads on this forum.  For example, the thread(s) about timeline alterations.

Montalk, I'm interested to know what parts in particular you find dubious or inaccurate.

Apologies, I made the mistake of saying "maybe...dubious or inaccurate" when it should have been "does not currently resonate with me" because I agree that much of this is a "wait and see" type of thing, and doubting something does not make it necessarily inaccurate.

To be clear, the Ra Material is one of my favorite channeling source. I like the C's material slightly more only because it covers a greater range of topics and contains more tactical clues about dark stuff.

But since you asked, in particular I found myself non-resonant with the following ideas: pyramids being thought into existence, the council of saturn, the souls of bigfoot and two million humans having originated on Maldek, that friendly feelings are (necessarily) evident of contact with Confederation forces, all the emphasis on ritual, that this planet has already become fourth density, and that after seventh density the octave repeats at an even higher level. None of this I can absolute disprove, so I'm just leaving it in limbo. As matt_d82 reminded, "If something does not resonate, please leave it behind."

Without these reminders from our past, we may never trigger the awareness.

I didn't used to think this way before I joined these forums, I used to be very suggestive, but now I read with detachment, and I let my Dream soul sift out the nuggets (while I sleep) and represent them to me as feelings, if and when, opportunities arise to confirm thier truths.

I had a sync with that 555 thread the other day, and at the time, I was quite taken by it, but I decided not to push it, and just see what occurs naturally. Nothing has yet, so be it.

This way, I am no longer confused by the constant paradoxes, and can continue my search for truth.

For some reason, the language used in this material which others find difficult to comprehend, I find easy. Similarly other texts which others find easy to comprehend, I have difficulties. It's just the way it is. Still, it's one text that I use for learning the greater picture - it is merely one piece of the jigsaw.

The Ra Material does not claim to be THE source of information. That has been the problem (one of) with religions, cults and other fanatical organisations throughout history. They use texts that may have had genuinely good intentions, and perverted them for their own end.  Through the use of this disclaimer and other acknowledgements throughout the material, it encourages the reader to use it the material as a guide only. The only time I will have a problem with it, is when someone uses the material as dogma.

Maybe a third of the material I find dubious or inaccurate, but the rest has provided me with some decent working hypotheses. If there's something wrong with a particular concept in the Ra Material, then I would like to understand both the flaw and its superior alternative, otherwise for me it stands.

Montalk, I'm interested to know what parts in particular you find dubious or inaccurate.

Not that I'm saying it's all accurate, as I see many possibilities falling in a "time will tell" category.

The entire Loosh farm scenario hits close to home.  It makes sense (then again reality has made less and less sense to me) that everything is recycled and consumed to maintain the balance of existence.  thus our energy that we produce through this material experience would be livestock for another entity.  against our will?  or are we experiencing and learning while at the same time helping another being - killing two birds with one stone? ofcourse, the answer is more dynamic than what we can comprehend.  fish in a glass bowl or an ant in the yard, indeed.

Assimilation of information should also be considered I'd say - Is it not an acceptable path to 'take on board' information with the notion 'it may be useful at some point' or to even accept on the basis 'it provides the best solution or ideal view I have found thus far, so therefore I will keep it until I find better'?

Is it not a stagnation of progress when one automatically assumes a view being passed or all outside forces as being powered by agendas?

In light of STS/STO orientation - if we understand and agree - is the importance of choosing and acting  with one's choice not the important part, rather than the view itself?

I am also in support of Lyra's post in general.

As for Cosmic Awareness, I enjoy its fearless exploration of dark subjects without being apocalyptic or alarmist, but the channeled answers can be quite hit-or-miss at times. If anyone's interested, download a zip file of 93-95 CA sessions and a PDF of scanned Cosmic Awareness Newsletters.

druid--i agree too with what u just posted above.  yep.  i say lets get this show on the road.  sick of waiting and waiting all the damn time.  oh well.  when the shit hits the fan, i will probably complain.
