Law of Confusion
This is a term equal to Law of Free Will and to the First Distortion, but whereas Ra uses Law of Free Will only a few times without prompting from the Questioner, they use Law of Confusion well over 20 times in reference to that most primal distortion. Ra indicates that we third-density humans call this law the “Law of Free Will.” In their understanding it is the “Law of Confusion.”
There is a law which we believe to be one of the more significant primal distortions of the Law of One. That is the Law of Confusion. You have called this the Law of Free Will. – 3.14
They say that this Law is utterly paramount in the workings of the infinite creation, as all experience springs from it. And they creatively convey just some of the infinite ways in which entities may honor or not honor this primal Law—especially those higher-density beings in their interaction with third density (like, for instance, during the Ra contact). These include:
- Breaking the Law of Confusion
- Infringing upon the Law of Confusion
- Cannot answer a question or give information due to the Law of Confusion
- A query lies beyond the Law of Confusion
- To give information would be an intrusion upon the Law of Confusion
- Certain actions are limited by the Law of Confusion
- There are intricate considerations of the Law of Confusion
- Being close to the boundary of, or replying within the boundaries of, or treading close to the Law of Confusion
- And instances when Ra must simply invoke the Law of Confusion as explanation for why they cannot answer
The Law of Confusion operates regardless of whether one is in accord with it, but progress in each succeeding density happens by increasing depth of understanding and harmony with this law.
There exists the possibility that Ra used “Law of Confusion” strictly in terms of the Law of Free Will’s operation in the veiled, intentionally confused conditions of this density.
Questioner: OK. Then I assume that the first distortion is the, shall I say, motivator or what allows this blockage. Is this correct?Ra: I am Ra. We wish no quibbling but prefer to avoid the use of terms such as the verb, to allow. Free will does not allow, nor would predetermination disallow, experiential distortions. Rather the Law of Confusion offers a free reach for the energies of each mind/body/spirit complex. The verb, to allow, would be considered pejorative in that it suggests a polarity between right and wrong or allowed and not allowed. This may seem a minuscule point. However, to our best way of thinking it bears some weight. – 54.13
Author’s Note: Will of Confusions
We can only speculate as to why Ra uses “Law of Confusion” instead of “Law of Free Will” when both terms refer to the same thing: the First Distortion. It may be that Ra uses the term “confusion” because the entity exercising this primal law, in whatever density but especially in the veiled conditions of third density, is exploring an illusory, separate identity—that which it is not. This might be viewed as a sort of confusion, almost as if the Creator has confused Itself and created an environment of confusion wherein the journey and the choices themselves are acts of a type of confusion.
This is amplified by the veil (which extended the first distortion of free will to the mind/body/spirit). Within post-veil conditions there appeared a semi-permeable curtain of mystery between the conscious and unconscious mind which situates the self in an environment where everything is hidden: intentions, information, essence, one’s own resources, etc.
The primary veiling was of such significance that it may be seen to be analogous to the mantling of the earth over all the jewels within the earth’s crust: whereas previously all facets of the Creator were consciously known, after the veiling, almost no facets of the Creator were known to the mind. Almost all was buried beneath the veil. – 85.19
This requires the seeker to reawaken to the truth of unity. And upon that journey, it leads to endless varieties of confusions and misapprehension of the journey, its purpose, and, indeed, whether there is even a journey. (20.24, 77.17, and 95.19 especially.) It is overwhelming. As Ra indicates in the following excerpt, we in third density are inundated in an ocean of catalytically intensive experience, the other densities being 1% as intensive:
The mind/body/spirit complex of third density has perhaps one hundred times as intensive a program of catalytic action from which to distill distortions and learn/teachings than any other of the densities. Thus the learn/teachings are most confusing to the mind/body/spirit complex which is, shall we say, inundated by the ocean of experience. – 20.24
Perhaps even the reach of Free Will is not precisely that “free” because each generation of creation operates within the parameters of its progenitor—the sub-Logoi within the bounds of the Logos, the sub-sub-Logoi within the bounds of our sub-Logos, and so forth.
Or maybe it is considered a Law of Confusion because if, despite all possible appearances, there is only ever infinity and unity, who then is the real actor? Who is making the choices? Do we confuse ourselves for assuming illusory individuals have a separate will?
Take all the above with an extra grain of salt, though, as the Law of Confusion was at work in this writing.
