Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

To be caught up in this homogenized world and in its madness is what happens when you follow the dictates of your mind. It is not you. It is not speaking for you. It is obeying outer authority from somewhere else. It is obeying the authority of what conditions you. It is obeying the habits that have been established in you through what has been conditioned in you. It‘s killing you. It‘s turning your intelligence into a joke, because intelligence without awareness is just a bad joke. It‘s what happens when you think that your mind is going to guide you to the promised land. It‘s not equipped.

And aside from all of that, what about you? This thing that stands in the way stands in the way of you, of you discovering you. This is what this is about. What this knowledge is about is stripping away the layers and layers of ignorance so you can get to your place, a place of uniqueness. This is a very special word. There is no comparison. We are here to differentiate fully as a potential, each of us in our unique way expressing ultimately what our unique truth is.

But to live as an individual, to be someone who lives by their own authority, that takes a lot of serendipity. It truly does. It’s not for everyone. It’s not like you have a choice. All of you have an illusion that you have a choice, that you’re here by choice, and that you can do this by choice. It‘s such a joke. It‘s just a movie, after all. The passenger can watch all of this. It‘s your serendipity to be here. It‘s your good fortune.

It is something to grasp about this relative to everything else, because it does not say that anything here is to be believed. It never has. And nobody can bring you to this truth but you. We don‘t sing as a chorus here. It‘s just you. It‘s an experiment, after all. It demands little else than the commitment to the experiment, and then it‘s up to you, whatever that is, a door that opens for your possibility.

It‘s mechanical. Until you experiment with the mechanics you will not know. You’ll begin to understand that when you follow your Type and your Strategy, the Inner Authority, you‘ll begin to see the shift. You’ll begin to see differently, because you begin to slowly get acquainted with yourself. You never lived as yourself. Human beings spend most of their lives being nothing but not-self. There are very few exceptions. This is our world.
