I often ask questions, and I have some insights I’d like to share.
Personally, there are two paths to understanding the Creator, which can be illustrated with the aid of the Tree of Life. One is the path of the right pillar—through faith, intuition, love, and meditation, one learns from and experiences the Creator. The other is the path of the left pillar—through logic, reason, deduction, calculation, and systematization, one studies and seeks to comprehend the Creator.
From my personal experience, some of my metaphysical friends tend to gravitate toward one side of the path.
Some choose to understand the world through reason, with a low tolerance for intuition and faith. They enjoy discussing the philosophical theories of Plato, Kant, and Schopenhauer. They like to explore the current limitations of Einstein’s theories, the potential of Tesla’s ideas, and attempt to build a unified physical system based on Dewey Larson’s framework. They also enjoy analyzing the Ra Material from a logical perspective.
Other friends choose to approach the world through intuition and faith— they focus on refining their heart chakra through everyday life, opening themselves, and learning to love and serve.
I don’t believe these two paths are mutually exclusive.
On one hand, the extreme pursuit of knowledge without the support of love and the heart chakra can easily lead one down the STS (Service to Self) path. This is, in fact, quite easy to understand—human history offers us countless examples of this.
On the other hand, relying solely on faith and intuition without the grounding of reason often results in a lack of evolutionary efficiency. And if I may speak frankly, it can easily turn into a form of foolishness. Human civilization has gone through such a phase—for instance, medieval Europe, where the Pope and religious dogma held absolute authority. It was only later that the light of freedom and reason brought by the Renaissance dispelled that fog.
And let us not forget—it was precisely Don’s rational and intelligent questioning that allowed the Ra Material to reach such depth, wasn’t it?
However, turning inward through meditation—relying on love and faith to feel that sense of wholeness and one—almost always leads to peace and happiness. In contrast, the search for answers, especially to questions that lie beyond the limits of human reason and experience, often ends in frustration.
So from this perspective, it’s easy to understand why Carla said that after the first Ra contact, she had never seen Don so happy in his entire life.
Back to your questions:
- I don’t believe the spiritual research has come to an end—in fact, it is a path with no final destination.
- Why do we so often cite material? To provide a foundation for our responses. In metaphysical discussions, there is no scientific experimental data to rely on, so referencing source material becomes a way to support one’s reasoning. Personally, I sometimes use thought experiments to assist with deductive reasoning.
- are we afraid? Perhaps just a little. For example, one of my friends has expressed a fear that excessive questioning and reliance on reason might lead him toward the STS path.
- Why does Q’uo sometimes give more surface-level answers? This has to do with the quality of the conscious channeling, as well as the depth of the questions being asked.
I am not a native speaker too,I hope that one day, humanity will learn telepathy and no longer have to rely on language.
