Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

Of course you can see that bonds made and broken is actually—you’ll pardon my black sense of humor—but it leads back very nicely to the evolution out of the strategic lives developed by the seven centered being in order to distort the natural order. We are not creatures, we’re very different. The moment that you have the map, the moment you have the mechanical way in which you can operate in this life you don’t have to be the martyr. Well, you don’t have to be the martyr, not the martyr in the sense we understand it as it’s played out in this plane as some wretched suffering because that’s what it is. That’s not what it’s about. It’s not intended to be like that. It isn’t. This is very much not-self terminology. It means the resilience to stand by your own truth, “yes indeed that’s true,” but the resilience to stand by your own truth doesn’t mean you’re a martyr. It doesn’t mean you have to be a martyr at all. The resiliency to stand with your own truth is your power to survive in the world. It’s what we’re all about.

This stops being martyr, somebody who’s ready to suffer because all 3s are ready to suffer, they come out of the womb, they’re homogenized and they’re immediately ready to suffer. And whether the suffering is psychological or the suffering is physical, it is going to come to their lives because they called it by their very not-self nature and it goes deep into their bodies, deep, deep, deep into their bodies, deep into their psyche. You have to understand going back to the history to the seven centered being, they were so aggressively strategic. These are the ones that conquered the world. This is the inheritance of the 3rd line. And here they are in the 3rd line being beaten down by the world they conquered, being beaten down by their own kind.

Now, isn’t that something, like the worm ouroborus, the snake eating its tail. Oh, if I could change the life of 3rd line beings you could really change the world. You can. That’s what they’re about. And the depth of the suffering on this plane is what they carry as their baggage. It’s this not-self baggage that litters everywhere—the failed bonds at all kinds of levels, you have bonds made and broken. It came from our earliest treacheries. The first lies. So, the bonds made and broken in the not-self become the same thing played out in the drama of it, the martyr’s drama, the suffering drama, the woe is me drama, the “oh it will never work, oh, I can never.”

It’s like looking at somebody who’s the greatest example of anything and they’re saying to you, “I’m useless. I can’t do anything.” They’re the ones that carry the gift. They are the penetrators of maia; they’re here to move us forward. And moving forward doesn’t mean that we expand the maia. Moving forward means that as nine-centered beings we begin to readjust it to what we are.

There are so many things out there that don’t work for the nine-centered being, so many things that don’t belong to us that are part of the homogenized world, allopathic, homeopathic, you name it, this kind of thing, that kind of thing, this philosophy, that philosophy, this religion, that religion, all the stuff. It’s the martyr that says, the martyr in each of us, that stands up and says “for me, it’s this way. I don’t know about you.”

And frankly, I don’t really care. If you have something interesting to tell me, I’ll listen about what you think, what your truth is. Everybody has a right to their truth. But it has to be correct, it has to be legitimate, it can’t come from a perverted mental system.

I look at 3s and I say, ah, let’s change the world. When I started I was so naive. When I started 21 years ago I really thought that if I could get Generators and 3rd line beings to understand all the crap that they’ve gone through for nothing, that like bang, a whole world would automatically change. Talk about delusional. I learned so quickly how dense the homogenized world is. How deeply human beings are in its grip. How lucky they have to be to even have a glimpse outside of it, a taste. It’s so profound. And those that you see so deeply embedded in the maia, these 3rd line beings, it’s not their fault. They’re deeply embedded in the maia because they are the maia workers and they’re totally dysfunctional and the maia is totally dysfunctional as a result. And the material plane is all screwed up. It’s insane, what goes on out there.

Whenever I look at any of these things I can go on and on and on with the horror stories, these are always horror stories, the not-self is a horror. The solution is, relatively speaking, simple. And then you understand the choicelessness of it all, what fractals mean, what geometries really mean. You look out in the world and you wonder who amongst all those who are out there that are lost so deep in the homogenization of the world, who is ready. There’s not many. There isn’t.
