Ra can you

[heck]

Questioner: Can you tell me <snip> ?
Ra: I am Ra. We could.
Questioner: Would you do this please?

Does anyone else find this hilarious? Ra does this several times. I understand he is being grammatically correct ("can you" versus "will you"). But I still find it funny to be in the middle of all these deep thoughts, and then see something seemingly childlike and playful.

Yes, it always makes me smile when they do that. Also interchanges like this: Questioner: Does that make any sense?
Ra: I am Ra. No.

[charles obscure]

It is funny, though I dont think intended to be funny or playful, (though there is nothing wrong with finding it amusing). Ra is a completely honest entity in open communication and does not give into the distortions of our language systems, nor would Ra attempt to or care to, words are a clumsy tool. A lot of what we find 'funny' is an indicator of our own distortions.

I think these small discrepancies in communication allow some small insight into how drastically different 6th density is, and the difficulty of the task of communicating the law of one through words.

I love Ra's sense of humor. It is refreshing to know that we will retain that faculty even after becoming "gods" ourselves.

Hi I'm new here. I love some of those Ra "moments" too, they can really make you smile. How about this one:

"And so, we applaud your efforts, and we shake your hand in the higher realms - or that which you would then conceive of as a hand, but which is more likely an energetic progression from an amoeba-like bodily form of energy. But you understand the point."

Ra/Wilcock , Jan 3 1999 (I quoted it from The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce? by Wynn Free, which quotes the old website as the source).

In one sense I think those terse one word answers can be found amusing and then in another it seems as if a ploy to buy time in order to better formulate some meaningful answer...

Sometimes I think of meditation as allowing the mind analogous pauses to better work out what it needs to work out without any distraction.

Some computers bog down with too many applications running. Maybe when Ra was so busy running the word thing it took away from the actual thinking thing.

Apparently Ra talked very slow in some way - maybe this is likewise related to some very complex operations going on in the background - as if they were arguing amoungst themselves and getting consensus before committing to whatever answer was offered...

Within the bounds of 6D, in a frame work of 6D lasting millions of years, I wouldn't be surprised if specific answers to Don, although manifesting relatively instantaneously in our frame of reference, involved some mutual consensus-taking process that may have lasted years, as we understand it; maybe, though, not in a 6D frame, but involving years as we would be necessarily forced into comprehending it, given our limited 3D timeline way of looking at things.

I sense, though, that some deeper level of deliberation was necessary, that we 3D folks are not privy to, coming repeatedly back to our view of linear time, for the benefit of our level of comprehension, being creatures bound to space/time; in other words, needing logic and reasoning to flow with our own native timeline.

If not years of linear time, perhaps nevertheless much was put into Don's responses, in a way we cannot fathom, involving a deliberational volume not defineable by time, as we know it, but by volume of love and care put into those responses.

The first post here illuminates the fact that literal understanding is a typical trance phenomenon. It is not necessarily an attempt to be humorous or funny. This happens very quickly when a person is in an altered state of mind or even deeply relaxed. You ask, "Can you open the door"? and they will say yes or no, but they will not get up to do the task. When I teach hypnosis, this is one of the first things that a student needs to understand. This is why one must be direct and use a commando type of communication.

This applies to us all in our daily lives. Instead of saying to John, "Dont fall from that tree!" say Climb down carefully.

I think you have a point there.

I was wondering, the other night, how certain places can stay haunted for so long....surely the spirits would get bored of staying in the same place?

Then I thought- it makes sense they might stay (for what we perceive as hundreds of years)....if their sense of Time is different.......

When I read about Ra's time spent on their particular density, this occurred to me.

Perhaps they are meant to stay there for what we would perceive to be as that length of time....because one of their roles is to help assist people here when needed?

[MarkM]

I imagine, and I'm no expert, that a so-called haunting in some instances involves no more than impressions of a life being transferred into the walls and space of a building, the building being something connected with the life of the past dweller.

Much like a musical performance, say, can be transferred onto a CD disc, to be replayed multiple times, with us not believing that the music is being played now, many hauntings may be no more than re-played bits of a lifetime, almost digitally impressed upon a place habituated by the deceased, not happening in 'real' time.

I suspect that this doesn't explain all hauntings, though.

[soup]

In the context of the concept of "haunting" there may be some space/time time/space counterpart that manifests perceptions so. And likewise, there may be some conversion mechanism that facilitates going between the two.
It may be that the conversations with Ra made use of such conversions. Is it possible that Ra speaks more efficiently in some other language form?

Sometimes through the act of play we can better find the bounds of our dynamic range - the limits of our expression. Within this forum seem many such acts of play, i.e. simple one liners that if nothing else can affirm attention. Maybe part of the message here is to play somehow.

I wonder if this could relate to the "art of asking questions", as if a question construct likely carrys with it variing degrees of potential catalyst.

Maybe there's both elements present, a play in contrast upon question quality and a poking tease in the spirit of fun.

[Jetamus]

Some of the most hilarious things are completely unnintentional subtelties.

[ds37ds]

The quality of the question is the potentiator which in turn is manifested as the qualities of the catalyst.

LOL - yes, funny! IMHO Ra does not infringe upon questioners free will either unless specifically asked for.

I don't think the above statement is correct...Ra does not generally offer information without first a question to stimulate a reponse... but there are many instances when he flatly refuses a request for information because it would result -- in the Ra's opinion -- in an infringement of the receiver's free will.:eek:

Does that sound right? Yeah.:)

fully agree with you Charles. The humor happens at our end, with our incomplete knowledge and sense of expectation.

for the most part, Ra is pretty dour and serious; some of his later descriptions from Book 4 read like a computer manual (going through all the finicky details of tarot depictions).

in the quest for clarity and absolute certainty, a large part of the poetry of language is lost. Those communications from lower densities (some 5th and 4th) often retain this element of creative ferment; their works make very easy reading.

the Law of One is profound, true, wise, and deep; but one thing it isn't is EASY!

it's a study manual for the soul.

[ayadew]

It's also very funny when Don wants Carla to cough and Ra is very confused
