My new platform continues to be physically modified, which has determined my suspension from publication, but its ‘metaphysical’ evolution has not stopped. My meditation and its corresponding interpretation of my readings and experiences continue and produce constant changes in my learning and therefore in my ‘teaching’. The same seems to be happening with the U.S. government’s “fees and deportations.” The ‘hand’, fortunately, continues to intervene.
Dear Family,
In my case, I seem to focus my blogs more and more on the metaphysical aspect, concentrating on philosophy rather than history. In the review of my journey, I see how in my first reading of ‘the books of Ra’ I was dazzled more than anything by the historical revelations. This may be due to the unwitting influence of Don Elkins, the “interrogator.” Indeed, very soon, (in Session 2.2) we find this:
Question
Could you tell us something about your historical background, your early times in illusion, possibly your incarnation on this planet that you spoke of earlier, and contact with previous races on this planet? Then we would have something with which to start writing this book.
Ra
I am Ra…………………………………………………… In giving this information, we ask that due emphasis be placed on our experiences in your local space/time. Teaching/learning, which is our responsibility, is philosophical rather than historical……………………….
The interest in the historical aspect is evident in the question. I believe that the Interrogator’s ‘scientific’ background prompted him to concentrate on material ‘facts’ that could build trust. Despite Ra’s warning, I believe that the ‘historical’ questions continued for a long time and especially in the period of the first 26 sessions, which constitute the First Book published.
Similarly, my initial enthusiasm was essentially to develop a story of our planet. To this effect, I decided to concentrate only on Ra’s words, almost totally ignoring the interrogator. Logically, although the story was credible to me, that first reading was practically absent of any metaphysical implication and basically reflected the content of a ‘physical’ nature and was mostly limited to the first book.
It was when, in the development of my old blog, it occurred to me to bring the Law of One in support of my intention to disseminate the scientific advances of the ‘new era’. that I had to visit again the publications of the Law of One. I understood then, in this second reading, the enormous importance of the Questioner for the sake of the inviolability of the first commandment (Ra calls it: distortion) of this Law, the Free Will of all creatures. And this message is definitely Metaphysical and in receiving it, I constituted My first epiphany.
This second reading revealed that with great intelligence the Questioner frequently formulated ‘theories’ and asked for their correction. It was the formula he found to try to evade Ra’s need to refrain from giving information that could influence the interrogator’s Free Will. Therefore, many times the question is as important or more important than the answer. It is not surprising then that my first reading of the books of the Law is grossly deficient. Another detail is my ignorance. Many times I just didn’t know or understand what Ra and sometimes the Interrogator, were saying. (This has been decreasing, but it still happens.)
Successive readings have led me to understand that the history of the planet, although important, is only a tiny fraction of the history of the universe and that this, in turn, is a tiny part of Creation, but that we were conceived as an integral part of a single Whole. We are a fractal. United we are God, Creation. Separated we are nothing, no matter how powerful we think we are. We are like ‘the rare earths’ to Artificial Intelligence, or an individual piece in an infinite puzzle. We are very important—we just have to be “aware” of our Whole and accept ourselves as its fractals in order to help constitute it. (Know yourself and accept yourself, is the path that Ra and the Course suggest.) Creation is God experiencing Himself, and He created us to help Him.
The reading of the previous paragraph (which for many will be simply the confirmation of my madness) is the inescapable conclusion of the study of the philosophical teachings of Ra. And of the Course. And “Undo It”. That is, of my two other epiphanies.
The historical portion is necessary not only to create ‘trust’ (“coincidentally” today’s teacher’s section will speak precisely of its importance in the Course), but it helps to understand the philosophical sequence. But for this it is indispensable to learn the ‘metaphysical history’ of Creation and I have no alternative but to re-read the Law, but this time equipped with the teachings acquired in the previous readings and the practices of the Course and the books for the healing of my health ailments.
And this is a new structuring of my Blog. But let us go little step by little step; am maintaining the two sections of the Course, but it will be in the sections of the Law and my Testimonies where the changes are being made. We will see the results,
Of the exercises.
One of my readers who has been encouraged to start the practice informs me that there is an app for the course in the form of audio, which allows her to become a listener instead of a reader. This may be preferable for many people and that is why I disclose it; but I warn you that I don’t know if it is available in Spanish and if it is totally free, because I found this note on Google:
You can try ACIM Audio for free for 7 or 14 days! After the free trial, ACIM Audio costs $5.99 per month (monthly subscription) or $39.99 per year (annual subscription). The subscription is automatically renewed, and you can cancel it at any time. We hope you’ll consider trying the ACIM Audio app!
Please note that this warning may refer to some for-profit publication, which swarms on the internet. Anyway the link is this:

Of the apprentice.
Our schedule calls for Lesson 4. In English, as you know, you can go to ACIM.com and my translation into Spanish can be found in this annex:
This is a profound lesson worthy of a thorough and thoughtful reading. Let’s go back to the basic concept of student-teacher interchangeability: you need to study to learn, but you’ll really only learn when you teach. It is a kind of ‘conundrum’ that, at least in my case, I have only been able to understand by experience.
Just as we can all study, so and as a consequence, we can all be teachers. This may be the essence of the first paragraph, but let me highlight the following:
4.1 Their specialness is, of course, only temporary; set in time as a means of leading out of time.
Another conundrum, which implies a more complex explanation. In metaphysical Creation there is no time in the sense that we understand it now. There is a sequence of cause (before) and effect (after) that has neither beginning nor end and therefore is ‘not measured’. I remember that when I had my second epiphany one of the thoughts that struck me was this:
The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end. Time will cease when it is no longer useful in facilitating learning.”
From < https://mijornada1933.com/third-blog/>
After two years he came to understand it. ‘physical’ time God created when He initiated the Great Experiment (according to Ra) of the Veil (temporarily forgetting the fatherhood of God) and instituted space/time (finite and physical) to distinguish it from Time (eternal and infinite)/space (metaphysical). Our time began with the Veil and will end individually when each one remembers and/or acknowledges that God is his Father and Creator
As we shall see in my further reading of the Law, semantics, given the similarity and necessary correlation between the metaphysical and physical worlds, (as above so below), tends to cause us serious misperceptions and time and Time will not be the only example.
Regarding Trust, let us highlight:
4 I.1. This is the foundation on which their ability to fulfill their function rests……
The teachers of God have trust in the world, because they have learned it is not governed by the laws that the world made up. ‘It is governed by a power that is in them but not of them. It is this power that keeps all things safe. It is through this power that the teachers of God look on a forgiven world.
The basis of everything is therefore Trust in God. This Trust includes a mysterious power that, as the quote emphasizes, “is in them but not of them.” As I meditate on this mystery, I can only think that it refers to being able to teach that forgiveness is a power that is of God but is exercised only through all of us. God is perfect and He created us perfect, therefore He does not have anything to forgive. It is we who, by forgetting where we come from, have invented the errors that have produced the illusion of a different world with laws equally invented by us. We are the ones who, by forgiving ourselves and the world we created, “undo” mistakes. This is the “Atonement,” the salvation of the world, and it depends on ourselves, not on God (nor on Trump & colleagues).
Then there is an important description of Confidence Development (to which I will dedicate my Testimony today) and then a long list of Attributes beginning with
4.II.1 All other traits of God’s teachers are based on trust.² Once that has been achieved, the others cannot fail to follow.
And they end up with
4.X.3 You may have noticed that the list of attributes of God’s teachers does not include things that are the Son of God’s inheritance.²Terms like love, sinlessness, perfection, knowledge and eternal truth do not appear in this context.³They would be most inappropriate here. ⁴What God has given is so far beyond our curriculum that learning but disappears in its presence. ⁵Yet while its presence is obscured, the focus properly belongs on the curriculum. ⁶It is the function of God’s teachers to bring true learning to the world. ⁷Properly speaking it is unlearning that they bring, for that is “true learning” in the world. ⁸It is given to the teachers of God to bring the glad tidings of complete forgiveness to the world. ⁹Blessed indeed are they, for they are the bringers of salvation.
These attributes include: Honesty. Tolerance. Intelligence. Kindness. Joy. Defenselessness. Generosity. Patience. Fidelity. Open-mindedness
And all this is based on Trust (which I think goes beyond simple Faith, but that’s where you can start).
Testimonial
It was precisely this lesson. (4th of the Teacher’s Manual), the one that showed me the depth of this Manual and the one that influenced the re-structuring of the Blog announced in the Tenth blog. Now, almost three months later, I can attest that the stages described in “The Development of Trust”, in my personal experience, have been inexorably fulfilled.
A. Building trust
3. First, they must go through what might be called “a period of undoing.”
4. Next, God’s teacher must go through “a period of sorting out.” This is always somewhat difficult because, having learned that the changes in his life are always helpful, he must now decide all things on the basis of whether they increase the helpfulness or hinder it.
5. The third stage through which the teacher of God must go can be called “a period of relinquishment”………….He can learn this only as he actually give up the valueless…
6. Now comes “a period of settling down.” This is a quiet time, in which the teacher of God rests a while in reasonable peace……… Yet, when he is ready to go on, he goes with mighty companions besides him.¹²Now he rests a while, and gathers them before going on. He will not go on from here alone.
Now I think I’m ready for what’s left:
7. The next stage is indeed “a period of unsettling.”²Now must the teacher of God understand that he did not really know what was valuable and what was valueless.
8. And finally, there is “a period of achievement.”²It is here that learning is consolidated
The brevity of this Testimony, I hope, will be an incentive to read the full text of the lesson. I believe it will be a powerful catalyst in deciding to become a teacher of God. The whole picture cannot be more seductive, even better than the abolition of taxes!
Of the Law
I’m working on my fifth reading, but for now I want to bring up this whicht I’ve found out before the new reading:
40.12Questioner
You mentioned that thoughts of anger now are causing cancer. Can you expand on this mechanism as it acts as a catalyst or its complete purpose?
Ra
I am Ra. The fourth density is one of revealed information. Selves are not hidden to self or other-selves. The imbalances or distortions which are of a destructive nature show, therefore, in more obvious ways, the vehicle of the mind/body/spirit complex thus acting as a teaching resource for self-revelation. These illnesses such as cancer are correspondingly very amenable to self-healing once the mechanism of the destructive influence has been grasped by the individual.
40.13Questioner
Then you are saying that cancer is quite easily healed mentally and is a good teaching tool because it is quite easily healed mentally, and once the entity forgives the other-self at whom he is angry, cancer will disappear. Is this correct?
Ra
I am Ra. This is partially correct. The other portion of healing has to do with forgiveness of self and a greatly heightened respect for the self. This may conveniently be expressed by taking care in dietary matters. This is quite frequently a part of the healing and forgiving process. Your basic premise is correct.
40.14Questioner
In dietary matters, what would be the foods that one would include, and what would be the foods that one would exclude, in a general way, for the most or the greatest care of one’s bodily complex?
Ra
I am Ra. Firstly, we underline and emphasize that this information is not to be understood literally but as a link, or psychological nudge, for the body and the mind and spirit. Thus it is the care and respect for the self that is the true thing of importance. In this light we may iterate the basic information given for this instrument’s diet. The vegetables, the fruits, the grains, and to the extent necessary for the individual metabolism, the animal products. These are those substances showing respect for the self.
In addition, though this has not been mentioned, for this instrument is not in need of purification, those entities in need of purging the self of a poison thought-form or emotion complex do well to take care in following a program of careful fasting until the destructive thought-form has been purged analogously with the by-products of ridding the physical vehicle of excess material. Again you see the value not to the body complex, but used as a link for the mind and spirit. Thus self reveals self to self.
40.15Questioner
Thank you. A very important concept. Does the fact that basic vibration that we experience now is green true color, or fourth density, account for the fact that there are many mental effects upon material objects that are now observable for the first time in a mass way, like the bending of metal by mind?
Ra
I am Ra. This shall be the final query, in total, of this working. This is not only correct but we suggest you take this concept further and understand the great number of entities with the so-called mental diseases being due to the effect of this green-ray true color upon the mental configurations of those unready, mentally, to face the self for the first time.
This s the final portion of Session 40. I bring it here to try to make sure you read it. Here we can appreciate the importance of the Questioner and his questions. In addition, my fundamental reasons are summarized in the highlighted paragraphs. The first two: Essentially synthetize my Second and Third epiphanies, including Diets. The last two: That we are already in fourth density and the self of which Ra speaks is my Higher Self, which somewhere else he reveals to us that it is a Sixth Density Being. The simple conclusion is that to access our siblings in the Sixth (like Ra, my True Self and Jesus) we better speed up our evolution to the Fourth because while in Third we are going crazy (like me).
In other words, it is the coincidence that confirms all my coincidences. The interrelationship of the Law, the Miracles, the Diets, the matter, the spirit, the mind. Everything that constitutes my madness, including that of love. And that is why
I Love you,
Alberto
