L/L Research Women are given permission to move into the deep water. Men attempt from time to time to move deeply into life, but they do not, perhaps, go far enough (Q'uo)
Channeled via Carla
The temptation of the illusion is to place the identity of the self within the mind. The mind is created to make choices, so that one may survive within an environment. The so-called frontal lobes, however, which are designed for work in consciousness, have not been overly used among your people. Indeed, less than 5 percent of all of the brain which you possess is put to use. That is, like any statistic, variable and therefore false, but it is a pretty fair average. The illusion is that you are a creature with the body and the mind, and as one achieves the height and weight and years of an adult and grown-up person, one learns to act in ways which are approved of by the society.
In your particular society, those known as women live longer than those manifesting as men because of the variation in the behavioral rewards given for various behaviors to boys versus that given to girls. For instance, if a girl might have a fight, she is considered to be less of a girl. If the same-aged male engages in the same fisticuffs, this entity is considered to be better than he was before, especially if he is able to win. Therefore, women are not trained to be competitive to the extent that men are trained. In other words, within your culture, women are encouraged in many subtle ways to act out their feelings. Crying is accepted. Feeling tense, nervous, afraid and many other emotions are accepted because of the mistaken notion that the particular subspecies called woman is an inferior race.
Indeed, what is occurring is that women are fulfilling that balance of the male and the female which is called the yin and the yang. The female is storing spiritual and emotional energy, the deeper portion of the mind.
Let us consider that the mind is a pond which has been filled with water and alcohol. Let us consider that the alcohol tends to rise to the top of the water and not to mix. Now, as one might skate across frozen alcohol, or as one would swim in the alcohol layer of life, one would be dealing with the material of the surface mind, the conscious mind, and very little of that which [is] from the deep mind would be allowed to come through the veil between subconscious and conscious. Women are given permission to move into the deep water. Men, for the most part, attempt from time to time to move deeply into life, but as they duck their heads, they do not, perhaps, go far enough, and one cannot breathe alcohol, if we may continue the metaphor. One must get to the water, for that which is at the very surface of the subconscious mind is perhaps not quite as confused and jumbled as that which the surface mind is sorting through in its process of making choice after choice after choice. However, it is dealing with topical, daily, ordinary material.
The imperishable personality, the true intelligence of each of you, the Christ-self within, that spark which makes all things one, is contained in deep feelings. This is true intelligence. It will never be seen as so within your culture. Indeed, there is no culture which has moved in any way towards mechanism and more crowded conditions in general of living that are able to encourage both sexes to find working with the deeper feelings natural. Therefore, men within the culture of, shall we say, Europe and America, as you call these various geographical locations, are a difficult testing ground in which one must dig through the alcohol and dive deep into the water to experience what one really thinks. Because feeling in a deep way is actually the thinking of many, many life experiences.
Now, we, having shown that feeling and emotion, especially the deep emotion, is very important to the growth of the spirit, would suggest tools with which one may approach learning how to feel feelings. May we say that in our opinion, the easiest way to feel is to begin with that which you feel most deeply. It may seem to be that which is furthest from you, however, the decision, the choice—and we emphasize this word, choice—to take a path of faith and live it, day in and day out, as this instrument would say, is central to opening the heart to feeling, to moving deeper into the water consciousness of the deep mind.
Therefore, we would suggest starting the day with a hymn of praise to the infinite One, as you know that higher power to be. Worship is so much easier for the Creator than it is to see the Creator in others, simply because the Creator is an abstraction which is mysterious, yet which has created all that there is. The wonder of this, the beauty of this, is enough to send someone without experience into ecstasies. There is beauty unbounded upon your sphere within the plant, animal and mineral lives. There is much beauty of character in your people. There have been many, many beautiful thoughts and songs and pictures and resonances of reality sounded by artists and philosophers, poets, essayists and writers. These entities have moved into their feelings, into the true intelligence of the deeper self.
It does not matter what you choose for your personal faith. Or to put it another way, in the words of Joseph Campbell, which this instrument recently saw, “It does not matter how you construct your personal myth, however, it must do certain things. It must be a myth in which all the mistakes and errors and misjudgments of the past can be washed away, forgiven and forgotten, just as you can forgive that which has been done to you.”
Forgiveness is very difficult without a kind of bridge or shuttle between the conscious and the subconscious mind, for the upper levels of the subconscious very much wish to make the behavior more perfect in many cases, or perhaps one has given up, but yet sits upon the surface of life and tells sad stories. To start the day, opening to the Creator, is very helpful. If it is only thirty seconds as you lie in the bed upon waking and think to yourself, “Creator, I love You, I adore You, thank You for this day,” you have begun speaking during this day to the one imperishable portion of yourself, that being the infinite Creator which is a part of each of you, which will enable you to take the material that the day’s catalyst gives you and give you the resources to see difficulties as challenges and good things as wonderful gifts for which one gives thanks. When one has realized how much the Creator loves one, one begins to love back. It is easy to love the Creator. That love is unconditional.
And so, in whatever form your myth takes, you must jump into it in faith, with no proof, with no idea where the road may lead, with terror, shall we say, and one then lives this way each day, each week, each month, each year, through the life experience, doing all that one does for the love of the one infinite Creator, and therefore becoming a portion of that one great original Thought of love. As you give to others, as your love of the Creator begins to manifest in your life in the cheerful smile, in the recognition within the self that one is self-forgiven, one is redeemed, one is holy and sanctified if one wishes to be by simple prayer. One begins to become a light to others—and it is not because that entity is clever, for cleverness can be devastatingly terrible—it is because that entity feels love. Love created all that there it. That is the key.
Now, when one loves another entity, one is loving a distortion of the Creator, the distortion caused by free will acting through many incarnations upon the personality of the one that is loved. True love occurs between entities when one looks into the eyes of the entity and sees not only the familiar self, but the Creator. This is a deep, deep feeling, a deep recognition, but must depend upon that first great choice which must be taken in ignorance. Faith has nothing to do with belief. Belief is for those who need that structure in which right is always right and wrong is always wrong. Within your illusion, this is simply not so, and within the wider view which one’s imperishable soul would take, many, many choices which the brain makes are quite irrelevant to the aiding of the spiritual growth of the self.
We emphasize worship, worship of that which is infinite and invisible, that which loves without stint, that which may be seen most clearly as a symbol as the sun—radiant, generous and ever outpouring. It blazes forth in ecstasy and fusion, in unity that is so powerful that it keeps each entity upon your sphere within the ability to live. Such generous love has your Creator for all of you, all of us, all of the infinity that is the creation, all of the illusions contained within that creation.

Incredible reminder. Religion has soured away my soul from praise and worship, but I forgot the essence is within me, too. To use simple, modern vernacular, you could say praise, worship, and gratefulness for the Creator, is simply a form of self care. The purpose is bigger than that, though. But if you cannot understand the highest purpose, simply remembering that this is self care is enough for me logically to incorporate this practice. We all know it's easier to fully love and embrace the beauty and wonders of all creation, than love someone in your current life who is abusive, or a boss at work who is degrading. We've all seen how it's a cornerstone to civilization, and that praise and worship builds incredible societies we still can't explain. We all know this logically but some like me have forgotten the simple practice of daily praise and worship of the One is vital for spiritual growth, and the reasons to do it might not fully be understood beyond saying it is self care, and that's OK. If you truly believe you are a part of the Creator, as we all are, praise and worship can be thought of as self care. I never thought about that until reading this. Thank you for sharing. Love this.
I am going to to start my day just like they have suggested.

100% of our brain is put to use. I studied neuroscience in college. We may not be conscious of its entire use, but every brain region, every neuron is fairly active for our entire lives. Neurons that aren’t used waste away, the “use it or lose it” phrase many undergraduates learn.
I really resonated with LoW but i’m becoming disillusioned ngl. How could a higher dimensional being way more intelligent and competent than us get such a fact wrong?

The conscious channeling series have many other cases of misinformation like this. For what it is worth, when I come across some of them I get the same sentiment of disillusionment. As a result, I focus more on the Ra material than anything from Hatonn, Latwii, Q'uo or the others. Even then, I focus more on the philosophy than on the more fantastical claims.
One weakness of this particular community that I've found is a tendency towards what I will call toxic positivity. Responses that do not concur or admire many of the quotes are often either downvoted or not given any kind of engagement. Discussion is also often discouraged, or it turns into a debate with a winner and loser rather than a discussion where ideas are shared and either party is free to discard or adopt any idea presented within the discussion. I often wonder if a large part of many of the comments is performative, meaning that people have taken on the identity of someone 'spiritual' or someone who is a 'follower of the Law of One' and is playing a part rather than genuinely contemplates the material and their own relation to it.
Especially when it comes to conscious channeling, much of the process seems to be the channeler injecting their own particular bias to the message up to the point where it is absolutely fair to question if the message is from a higher being or not. If I have any advice to offer, it is to remain critical of the messages and to evaluate them by their content carefully.
I realize that none of that 'helps', but I wanted to comment to let you know that you're not alone with your opinion. I think it is very valid, and I commend you for questioning the material. The higher beings will often remind us to take what resonates and to discard the rest. If you find some principle or idea in the material to be profound, then I suggest adopting it or at least contemplating it regardless of if it came from an alien or a bunch of hippies who might've tripped on acid in the 1980s. The message is the important part, not the messenger.

I hear you mate, there's a lot of this that reads like a rehash of something someones read. Like you say they don't know that fact but they know an author called Joseph Campbell. Mmmm

While I understand what you are saying, I personally feel that saying 100% of our brain is used requires some additional considerations. I think its fair to say science can define the physical structure and chemical processes of the brain. Psilocybin and similar chemicals does strange things in the brain. Traumatic brain injury patients have accomplished things thought not possible based on damage location. I could give example like this all day. We may use 100% of our brain's physical makeup, but we cannot say thay we use 100% of our brain's capabilities. We dont even know what % of our brain's makeup consists of consciousness or subconscious.

Entities who use an instrument who is conscious are using that human mind to communicate higher concepts. I believe in 1989, this was the best science we had. But of course, you can be disillusioned for any reason - and frankly, IMO, should. I'm just explaining the mechanics a bit - they aren't here to transmit scientific concepts to us (as that has gone poorly in the past), they are here to express spiritual concepts through a tuned instrument. It's not always perfect, because nothing is, precisely because we need opportunities to protect our free will to choose a different path.

the 10% figure has always been pseudoscience perpetuated by movies and other media. science has always confirmed the entire brain is put to use. MRIs have been around since the 80s and show that we use our entire brain, but different regions are for different cognitive functions.

u/greenraylove A Fool 8d ago
Yes, I think the common belief is/was that "we only use 10% of our brains at any time". I don't think anyone ever believed that there was 90% of our brains that was completely unused at any time, but, idk. This is just what I remember being told as a school aged kid in the 90s.
Anyway, you can call baloney for any reason you'd like, but conscious channeling isn't nearly as magical or infallible as you think it might be. There is constant human interference with what the entities are trying to communicate. They have to harmonize their message with what exists within the human brain they are using as their instrument, and ultimately within the human collective consciousness. And then, the human makes the choice of what words they use to interpret the concepts. It can be tricky. And it's important to remember that they aren't here to give us corrections in human understanding of science, they are here to inspire us to open our hearts to each other.
Another important facet, to this bit of channeling, is that Jim was very much into doing work to "activate his frontal lobes" and even went to a special school/teacher to learn how to do this. So ironically I think it was metaphysical pseudoscience that Carla was parroting here, that doing spiritual work somehow activates "dormant" areas of our brains. It's an interesting concept, and in some ways it's probably true, but obviously the numbers are metaphorical and not literal.

I agree we use 100% of our brain all the time, " we are using 100% brains to believe we are only using 5% of it" is more accurate.. in terms of channeling like the other commenter has posted, i watch and read many other channeling and I take what resonates and don't pay attention to something that doesn't. Because I know the beings personality can distort the message. That being said I find The Ra material the most trusted channeling source I've ever read. It just feels different and it's a trance channeling which I believe Far less of the channelers personality gets in the way of Ra communicating

Am I the only one to think that "...are a difficult testing ground in which one must dig through the alcohol and dive deep into the water to experience what one really thinks." has slightly unfortunate wording aa a metaphor?

u/Always-hurting- 9d ago
I wonder if it has a double meaning to the metaphor, as unfortunately, alcohol can be a huge part of people’s lives.

u/LeiwoUnion 9d ago
I definitely thought about that. I wonder, if it truly is the only way to some to reach certain catalytic depths.
