This Ra Material has a profound clarity and internal consistency. It presents a startling picture of the universe and humankind’s place in it, a picture which lies at the core of this report.
As you can see from the “Law of One” name, their philosophy is that all things are one. The universe and all things in it are one system. There is one Creator and a unified creation.
We pursued it because we found the research compelling and helpful. We collected it in Books I through V of The Law of One, sometimes known as The Ra Material. In addition to these very special trance sessions, we have collected and archived over a 1,500 of our group’s conscious channeling sessions over the years until the present day.
Introduction The Confederation of Planets in the Service of the Infinite Creator The Confederation and Religion The words mythology and religion should be far more interchangeable than they are. The difficulty is that in myth there is no judgment between one myth and another, whereas in religion, those of one religion square off with hostility against those religions which in some way contradict it. Thus we prefer to talk of all paths of spirituality as personal myths, including classical paths such as the path of mystical Christianity, the path of literal Christianity, the path of mystical Buddhism, the path of literal Buddhism and so forth. Realize that the essence of myth is to move the seeking entity, by its own faith and its desire to know the truth, over a kind of rainbow bridge, a magical, covenantal span that links time and eternity; that which is known and that which is a mystery. Those who dwell in that which is known have a deadness inside them, though they live and their hearts beat. Those who dwell from time to time in eternity have a livingness that only crossing that span into eternity may offer.[2]
The Confederation sources suggest, like the major Western religions, that there is one infinite Creator and that we are all His beloved children. However, those religions state that a person only lives for one lifetime. The Confederation suggests that we reincarnate many times, over thousands of years, building up our learning and our gifts in our “soul stream,” which is eternal. Whereas the Western religions assume that the Earth is the only repository of human life, the Confederation sources describe a universe in which we on Earth are one of many races of humankind which dwell on many planets in the starry vastness of our galactic ocean.
Whereas the Western religions suggest that all of the drama of our soul is enacted in this one lifetime and that the curriculum of the school of life is all contained in this one small incarnation, the Confederation suggests that we are in the third grade of a seven-grade school of cosmic learning and service, moving to a completion called an “octave” of creation, where the whole process begins again from the harvest of the old, like the phoenix rising from the ashes. In this Confederation scheme, each octave contains seven “densities” or schools for learning and progression. We will discuss the densities in detail later in this book. Completing the grades of this school takes millions of years. This present grade, which the Confederation calls the Density of Choice or third density, lasts about 76,000 years. We are in the last decade of this long period, heading rapidly toward a planet-wide Harvest in 2012. It is to be emphasized that this is not a “doomsday” date. It is the date at which the fourth density, the Density of Love, has its onset.
Whether or not 2012 includes the literal end of life as we know it on planet Earth is unknown to me, of course. However, the Confederation suggests that we have plenty of time to finish out our natural lives here on Earth. The time that is short, and rapidly streaming past, is the time to make The Choice for ourselves. We have only the years between now and 2012 in which to make that choice.
To their way of thinking, belief systems are for the purpose of arranging the subject matter of metaphysical, spiritual or religious belief in such a way that it makes sense to us, so that we can think about the concepts involved. If we already have a belief system going which works for us, they encourage us to keep that system. What they do is to put that system into context by calling it a “personal myth” rather than “the truth.” This expresses their opinion, which is that all religious systems of belief are each person’s choice of resources to use when moving into the precincts of the archetypal mind. They see religious belief systems as structures through which we may look at the roots of our own deep mind.
The basic goal of a life lived in faith is to retrain the mind from habits based in fear to habits based in love and from carelessness in living to responsible stewardship of one’s precious time in incarnation.
Ponder death, holding in the attention the principle of perfect love, and know that death is only a transformation. For perfect love does not destroy but only transforms and changes.[5]
