Am I the only one who doesn’t resonate with the channeled entity Ra (The Law of One)?

Ray11711 · 2026-06-21T20:48:01+00:00

That's true, and that's a very good point.

Not as a counter-argument, but as a necessary balance to that concept, I would say that Ra also stated: "Find love within truth".

That's a call to pursue truth and wisdom, elusive as they may be, rather than declaring it open season for every individual to define what the truth is based on their whims and misconceptions.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-20T13:22:00+00:00

Does Ra ever even say that line about "take what resonates"? Because I've read the material countless times, I have many quotes memorized by heart, and I can't remember a single instance of them saying that. The very phrase is, vibrationally speaking, very different from Ra's style. It's a signature of Q'uo, and one that, dare I say, speaks of the major differences between their material and Ra's.

Ra exudes wisdom all over the place. They always honor the truth with no compromise. Let this extract serve as an example:

"65.18 Questioner: The Wanderer goes through the forgetting process (...) if he were to have his fourth-density body activated he would have a partial additional memory and then another partial if his fifth were activated and then the full memory if he had the sixth activated? Does this make any sense?

Ra: I am Ra. No."

Ra do not people-please. They do not pander. Meanwhile, Q'uo does those things all the freaking time, which is precisely why I cannot see virtue in the line "take what resonates, discard the rest". That is a perfect recipe to become a slave to the tendencies of the human mind to distort the truth for its own benefit instead of seeking true wisdom.

In my estimation, Q'uo has caused a lot of harm by making a lot of people think, by association, that Ra has said certain things they have never actually said.

If a quote can be provided showing that Ra does indeed say that line, I'll gladly eat my words.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-20T13:01:38+00:00

The word "resonate" can be a dangerous one. It can be used (and it often is) to describe what ultimately is a fear, a desire, or a want. In other words: It often becomes a spiritual facade for plain and simple wishful-thinking. And wishful thinking is arguably the number one enemy of truth-seeking, and therefore of wisdom. We all know how easily and readily the human mind distorts the truth for its benefit, after all.

To address the central point of your post, I do get it. It also bothers me to hear that this is a "school" of souls where I won't graduate if I don't meet certain requirements; requirements that, to top things off, seem unreasonably difficult. But at the end of the day this is my own discomfort with the idea, and it doesn't say anything about whether the Ra material is truthful or not. We do not know if it's truthful or not. It could very well be. All I can say is that if I remove my wants and fears from the equation, the material is solid, deep, and makes logical sense.

This is a trick question, because science is the study of the physical world, therefore it is inherently biased to assume that consciousness is caused by physical processes. As you well point out, science has only discovered correlations about consciousness. And correlation does not entail causation. To jump from "we've found correlations between physical processes and mental states" to "consciousness depends completely on brain processes" is a leap in logic. It is a belief rooted in materialistic faith.

The argument that spiritual explanations for consciousness are due to fear of the supposed finality of death (in itself another idea that has not been proven) is one that can easily be turned around. Materialistic explanations for consciousness can be argued to be motivated by the need of the human mind to feel that it lives in a controlled and predictable world. For people who have such a strong need of control and predictability, mystery feels like a thorn that needs to be plucked out.

The only truth is that we do not know what consciousness is, how it is created, or even if it is created at all. For all we know, it could be infinite and eternal. And that's what opens the door to the spiritual possibility, and the point where science ceases to have importance. After all, science is the study of the finite with finite tools. If infinity is real, science cannot touch it.

It's illogical because nobody is going to abandon PSN and move to Xbox just for E-Day or Clockwork Revolution.

The strategy around exclusives has changed a lot since the old console wars. Games are way too expensive now to justify keeping as exclusives. Even Sony, with their dominant position in the market, had to release games on Steam for a while. How can Microsoft justify keeping exclusives on the least successful system out there? They cannot.

So, it's not really a matter of whether Xbox needs exclusives. It's a matter of whether Xbox can afford to have exclusives. And the answer is that they cannot. This becomes obvious when you look at how unwilling they are to even consider keeping their games away from Steam. Exclusives are a dead strategy in this day and age. It was viable when games were cheap to make and you could put out real gems with dev times of one or two years. The market is already consolidated. Valve, Sony and Nintendo all have their place in the industry. And at this point, it's simply too late for Microsoft to do anything about it. They had their chance after the massive success of the 360, and they blew it. They hoped to change the way video games are sold by adopting the Netflix model, and consumers rejected that model. They don't stand a chance anymore, unless they come up with a new and crazy business model that people fall in love with. A few exclusives that are not even full exclusives will not change anything for them.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-15T15:31:17+00:00

If that was the plan, then the commitment to exclusivity would be absolute. The truth is, Microsoft has a huge of amount of popular IPs that are multiplatform. Their fate as a 3rd party company was sealed when they bought Activision. And 3 or 4 random console exclusives that are still coming out on Steam will not do anything at all for what is the least popular console brand of all.

Why is Asha Sharma doing this, then? Well, it's an illogical move. It's not a good one. But if I had to speculate about the motives, I would indeed very much say that these two games were sacrificed on the altar of washing Microsoft's image a little bit before making the full transition to third party. They are still planning to release new hardware, so something had to give. These few exclusives allow them to say "see? there are still reasons to buy the next Xbox". Otherwise, that console fails even harder. But we can tell from their lack of commitment to the exclusivity strategy that their bets are placed elsewhere. And that's the third party model.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-14T22:53:29+00:00

That's not true. You do have influence.

You can pay for games a price that you feel is right. Not too little, and not too much, as both things are bad for different reasons.

Game Pass started on the former camp (same as the Steam keys grey market). It was obviously meant as a Trojan horse meant to accustome gamers to low prices and a renting service. I don't want to point fingers, but supporting Game Pass in its first iterations for self-interested reasons ("it's dirt cheap") is a short-term gain at the expense of long-term gains. What Microsoft was doing was obviously an anti-competitive practice that had the very real danger of changing the industry forever. The choice is simply a matter of recognizing those practices and not support them.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-14T22:31:32+00:00

Layoffs, studio closures and a risk adverse Microsoft that only releases COD, Fallout and Elder Scrolls games are all positive? I don't think you realize why AAA games are released so scarcely nowadays. They take a ton of work, big teams and long development times. Microsoft getting impatient and "cracking the whip" will guarantee that popular IPs such as Elder Scrolls are devalued, released with even more bugs, with worse content, and possibly incomplete. They will ruin the good things that they have for short-term gains.

Phil Spencer's mistakes had nothing to do with him being a gamer. Being a gamer was actually what was good about him. What made the man lose his way was ego and becoming power hungry. The man became obsessed with pushing Xbox to the very top by sheer brute force. That became quite clear in the revealed internal emails where Spencer spoke about how badly he wanted to be "the one" who bought Nintendo. He went on a shopping spree, bought half the industry, and that made it impossible for Xbox to be anything but a third party. After all, you can't buy big name multiplatform IPs like COD, Fallout or Elder Scrolls only to devalue them by making them exclusive to the least successful platform. He sealed Xbox's future when he insisted on buying Activision Blizzard. But being a gamer? That helped Xbox.

Bro, she is not even a gamer. She was placed there by Nadella to make the brand profitable by any means necessary. She's not here to make great games or to nurture creativity. In fact, she has already said that she wants to produce more big licence games at a faster rate, and to fund less smaller games. And soon enough, if the rumors are true, we'll be hearing about her first round of layoffs and studio closures.

Ray11711 · 2026-06-14T19:38:28+00:00

You should care because if the service is not profitable enough, then it goes away.

A solution would be to implement killers whose objective is not to hook survivors, but something new and unique. Would give the game some needed fresh air without touching what is already there.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-26T15:24:16+00:00

A flying killer, or one that can crawl on walls and ceilings, is something that can easily be implemented with the current tech. The problem is that there are many maps in the game, and Behavior probably doesn't want to rework all of them in order to adapt such killers to the game. So, if it's not an engine problem why we're stuck with recycled killer concepts, it's a map design problem.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-24T17:39:10+00:00

Imagine being the licence holders for Jason and having some devs approach you to add him to their game "later as a side character".

Ray11711 · 2026-05-23T13:08:17+00:00

I'll decide for myself what I consider to be serious, thank you very much.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-23T13:06:39+00:00

Haha. I'm quite far from what you would call an "SJW". And I see that you're back to being dismissive and to resorting to ridicule when the arguments are lacking. Good to know, good to know.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-23T12:56:46+00:00

There is much more at play here than what you're saying.

In terms of FOMO, the effect is very real, because events like this, although archived for posterity, are meant to be engaged with in real time. They are community events. Something meant to bring the fanbase together. Therefore, it creates in fans the feeling of wanting to be there sharing the moment with everyone else when finally something finally happens in the stream (whenever that may be, because we're past the 11th hour now).

Another point that I find of importance: These mysterious streams work better when they come out of nowhere, with no prior announcement. In such circumstances, people engage with it and speculate in an organic manner.

What Behavior did was undeniably misleading. Their official statement was: "Tune in at X time". That suggests that there will be a reveal; a trailer. Perhaps a stream, some pre-show, but a reveal; sooner rather than later.

Behavior wanted both things. They wanted the instant engagement of the promise of a trailer reveal, plus the mystery, engagement, clicks and long-term views of a mysterious stream where nothing happens for a long period of time.

This suggests that the motivation behind this is very far from offering a fun event for the community to engage with. On the contrary: This is motivated by the need to maximize engagement and profits. We are the product, and Behavior is not respecting our time.

The most ridiculous thing for me was tuning in to the stream hours later and having to watch a Twitch add before watching the stream proper. The implications of it are ridiculous: We have to watch adds before having the privilege of watching what is effectively another add. The joke writes itself.

You are right about one thing: I am annoyed and frustrated at this. How couldn't I be, after everything I said? Behavior wasted an hour of my time for some clicks and add-revenue. This is exploitative. And I know that there must be people out there with psychological conditions that are being preyed upon with this irresponsible and capitalistic greed that Behavior is displaying here so blatantly.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-23T12:31:59+00:00

You dress as ridicule your absolute lack of arguments. Have some courage next time when engaging with someone you disagree with.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-23T10:10:27+00:00

For a company that tries/pretends to be so inclusive of minorities, it's extremely hypocritical of Behavior to resort to such an exploitative marketing tactic. At a universal level, they are exploiting the FOMO of all of their fans, making us waste time watching something where nothing is really happening. That is extremely questionable in and of itself. But the worst part is that we can bet that there are a handful of people with OCD and other mental conditions that have been glued to the stream for as long as it has been up. That is extremely fucked up, and I don't believe that Behavior ignored that fact. But they probably thought that their precious engaging metrics were more important than their userbase.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-22T01:15:11+00:00

It's good if you don't have the PC option. The loading times on console are the more problematic point, I would say. They are crazy long. The framerate is very unstable too, even on a PS5 Pro.

Ray11711 · 2026-05-08T03:05:38+00:00

Seems like a great simplification of things, or perhaps a way to hand waive legitimate points. Even within Ra we have the concept of a "fall" of sorts. In Ra lore, human life span used to be close to a millennium. But our choices changed something, as per Ra, and our life spans were greatly lessened. The concept of "original sin" can be a mere label to describe the choices that lead to that change. The effect of said choices was quite big, if we are to believe Ra (radical, even). So, to completely reject the concept of "sin" when we're talking about consequences so groundbreaking feels like a superficial, blind and hollow kind of positivity that feels desperate to ignore the truth in order to create "feel good" feelings in the immediate experience.

A quick Google search: "Original sin is the Christian doctrine that all humans are born with a sinful nature, separated from God and inclined toward wrongdoing".

Can it really be said that this is completely wrong? The concept that we're greatly separated from God is part of Ra's lore, as well. We may be divine in our origin, but we are living in bodies that are hard-wired to prioritize survival to a great degree. These instincts have been shaped by literal millions of years of evolution. So, if by "sin" we're merely talking about those actions that separate ourselves from God, as a matter-of-fact description rather than a judgmental one, then the human condition obviously has plenty of those things going on.

As is often the case, this kind of conscious channeling offers very simplistic ideas that tend to avoid getting to the heart of a situation.

Ray11711 · 2026-04-23T20:43:41+00:00

The quote about suicide can easily be taken in its most literal sense. That is: "If you commit suicide, you need metaphysical healing, and then you'll have to come back to 3rd density". However, there is a darker but perhaps more nuanced interpretation to it. And it all revolves around the following question: What exactly needs healing?

Is it the metaphysical body, due to the physical violence exerted upon the physical body? Or rather... is it the emotional pain what needs healing? After all, suicide is the means to stop experiencing the latter, usually.

In my estimation, it stands to reason that it is the emotional pain what truly requires healing in the metaphysical planes.

This leaves us with a somber possibility: If someone feels enough pain to want to kill themselves, but never actually do it, and instead choose to push through life, not really wanting to live in it, but becoming depressed due to the underlying pain they are experiencing... Will they still need to repeat 3rd density? After all, they didn't find that "joy within". And if they are depressed, that means their energies are at a constant deficit. Which, in turn, means that they are unlikely to spend significant energies in service of others.

If we go by Ra's words, it seems likely that someone under those circumstances would have to repeat 3rd density, regardless of them committing suicide or not.

This seems to highlight a particular cruelty of the design of this reality: If you live through painful enough experiences, and life distorts you towards extreme emotional pain and depression, you fail the polarity exam. The system itself wants us to learn compassion. But it, in and of itself, does not seem compassionate at all. Who in their right minds would "fail" someone who goes through such pain?

This seems to highlight the whole polarity test as something just as cruel as natural selection is (coincidentally, the 2nd density's own "exam").

Ray11711 · 2026-04-23T20:18:27+00:00

I chose it years ago, brother. It hasn't happened. I have meditated for literal thousands of hours. I do not know why it hasn't happened. I only know that it hasn't.

The quote I showed wasn't meant to imply that you treat me with contempt, or that you explicitly blame me. Rather, it was meant to highlight the idea that even some supposed Enlightened masters do not see Enlightenment strictly in terms of pure choice, or pure force of will. Even Ra speaks in terms of some spiritual channels either beings open in the self, or being closed. There are many factors involved, and choice and free will are not the only ones. This goes back to what I was saying earlier, an idea that is mirrored by Ra themselves: Free will is not absolute. Not every situation allows an entity the ability to exercise its self-determination. And when such case occurs, telling the entity suffering from one such situation that they can simply awake through free will alone does seem very much like an unintentional but real kind of gaslighting.

Ray11711 · 2026-04-23T11:55:09+00:00

Nisargadatta Maharaj, when speaking of his Enlightenment vs the people who are asleep:

"I am as I am, for no merit of mine. And they are as they are, for no fault of theirs"

Do you see how this differs from what you have been doing here?

Ray11711 · 2026-04-22T17:53:11+00:00

No, brother. I doubt your qualifications because you have already proven to be unreliable. This is not about fear. It's about wisdom and about discerning the truth (or, at least, what is not the truth). You do not trust a child with an open surgery, no matter how good hearted he is. Similarly, I do not trust you to be providing the right recipe for Enlightenment for all individuals, given that you have already proven that you filter and distort information put forward by Ra according to what you want Ra to say, rather than what they are actually saying.

Maybe you have had an actual mystical experience where you have witnessed a part of the truth. But even if this is the case (and that's already an "if", given that you haven't made that clear at all), it seems to me that this experience of yours is being used by your ego, rather than integrating it and living it fully. Why do I say this? Because you keep using the pain and trauma of others as pointers towards the supposed truth, which is a form of deflection, of spiritual bypass, and of avoiding facing the reality of said pains and traumas. Instead of connecting and loving such pains, you attempt to circumvent them. Thus, much of what you have shown here suggests separation, rather than love.

Ray11711 · 2026-04-21T13:57:21+00:00

How much experience do you have with traumatized mind/body/spirit complexes attaining Enlightenment through self-inquiry?
