Thanks for the explanations of the terms, I feel I have a basic understanding now of STS/STO.

But I would like to ask you if the Ra Material is mostly or solely what you base your belief system on regarding ascension? I also wonder if you have spirit guides or some form of spirit that interacts with you and gives you information? I ask because the majority of my beliefs, about the nature of reality and the reason for my existence, come from my contact within (my spirit guides, my god, etc.). I occasionally read outside material (my favourite being Seth through Jane Roberts and Autobiography of a Yogi) and I enjoy chatting with other people as a form of enhancing my own internal source of information and to mirror each other for further learning.

I also wanted to add that my belief about 2012 (Dec 21) is that there will be a catastrophe. That's the message I have received in numerous ways from internal sources which I documented in my journal. It also resonates with some outside sources, and other people's dreams and messages.

I believe that the catastrophe will only be the side effect of change that is necessary and predetermined/cyclical.

As far as dark/light, I believe that there is both in equal measures at all times. It just depends on the focus of the viewer.

As you said...

I concur with this concept that there is no true separation between any one or any thing. It just really seems like it during this earth experience.

We do have such a common underlying belief, don't we?

To distort this, programming which "turns off" the recognition of the fundamental concept that all is one and the polarities themselves are illusions too when understood in full. Hence the individual falls into the good guy bad guy scenario. Many whom the populous have or do view as evil view themselves as good for the work they do or have done.

That is interesting and a good point!
