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 search within and without. I collect, collate and compare information to build an understanding of all that is. The more this is done, that is to use an analogy of fitting the pieces of the puzzle together, the more it helps in building the puzzle. The puzzle is continually analyzed so to speak. I would not limit myself to any one source, no matter the source. To do so is with limit which is finite, which opens up a pathway to control or ignorance. There is always left open the possibility an understanding I hold is in error or incomplete in some form. In the puzzle analogy this would be like forming a small portion of a picture and placing it in the puzzle, but finding at some point it does not truly fit the puzzle. Then although I may have a new section of the puzzle placed if I were to correctly place all the pieces around this smaller portion it would become self evident it was incorrect in some way. Hence knowledge by it's own virtue buffers against false knowledge.
On that note anything I have posted I do not post as fact or absolute truth. Just my understanding as I have called it. Discernment and seeking of the reader is always suggested.
So again, belief is a concept that does not fit appropriately. I work in probable possibilities.

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

Yes, only the 3rd density manifestation.

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.

Lack of coherency in the world.

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


Soul level knowledge is an aspect I'd say.
