A Universal Message
A friend asked me: What’s your sense of how Ra is answering most of Don’s questions? Is it more (a) universally applicable to the human journey whether wanderer or not or (b) geared towards the paths of Don and Carla and Jim? Or possibly is it (c) other?
TL;DR answer: I would strongly say a modified version of “A”, with some “B”.
Long answer: I think that it is universally applicable first and foremost because of the proof in the pudding: the life-changing, healing, transformative, empowering impact it exerts on seekers from around the world, whatever their age, socioeconomic status, religious or cultural background, etc. Were the scope of Ra’s message limited strictly to the trio, the message would not continue to have so powerful an impact over 40 years later, and people would not continue to look to the text for understanding, guidance, and inspiration to support their journeys.
However, this applicability applies to a very small percentage of people. While I think that the material is potentially universally applicable, most people will nevertheless remain un-resonant with the Law of One. This is not due to it being specific to Carla, Don, and Jim but rather to the advanced nature of the material—it may not be relevant to where most people are in their journey at this time. Not all are not in a state of intensive seeking of the Creator-as-Self. Many people are affiliated if not wholly identified with more limited conceptual containers; among other stumbling blocks, including an unprovable source, and Ra’s unique, jargon-and-clause-heavy prose.
Moreover, I would wager that the predominance of those who resonate with the Law of One are wanderers, which also is a small grouping relative to the whole.
So you see there are many gradations of awakening to the knowledge of being a wanderer. We may add that it is to the middle and first of these groups that this information will, shall we say, make sense. – 36.24
That said, I do think that there are aspects of the material that pertain specifically to the highly unique circumstances of the D/C/J complex. I liken it to space travel. Most of us will not experience the rigors, intensities, challenges, necessity for precision, limited margin for error, unique conditions like zero gravity, etc., that space travel offers.
We will have crises and times of testing, but we generally won’t be under a white hot magnifying glass of high magic that demands a tight rope walk between multiple balance points where slight deviations have potentially fatal consequence. Nor will we gain the attention of a samurai 5D negative entity. Nor will any of our souls be at risk of being stolen away to negative time/space. I hope.
But… the creation seems always to be teaching through each living circumstance. In this case, even the unique and wholly unduplicatable aspects of their particular journey offer a laboratory or stage play through which is exemplified the dynamics of spiritual seeking, shared mission, and polarity—particularly in their dance with psychic greeting and their operation as an harmonious unit.
Their unique journey offers one case study from which we can glean more universally applicable understanding. This is thanks in large part to the fact that the Ra contact is not just a testimony about the nature of reality, but is an adventure that three joined hearts undertook together through space and time. This latter fact is highlighted in the many Q&As focused on the group’s journey.
In my recent re-read of the Ra Contact, I came across 42.2 and thought of this musing. One can see Don’s personal worldview and approach to life coming through that question. It occurred to me that this is another way in which this recorded conversation had a particular and biased flavor, that being the selection of the questions that were asked and the biases inherent in those questions. Another person could have pursued ten thousand other directions.
However, Don’s quest wasn’t just for personal edification, but for that which would be universally empowering and illuminating—thus there is a balance between the personal and the universal.
Also, whatever particular questioner Ra might respond to, Ra would find every opportunity to communicate their central message: oneness is our jam. As Ra’s perspective is holistic, the reader would have access to the fullness of their universe whatever the questions, I think, so long as the questioner didn’t lose their way into the dead-ends of transience or corrupting influences of fear or separation.
How remarkable that so transformative powerful, elegant, and intellectually sophisticated a philosophy is also so inseparably centered in the heart of love.
