The RA Material - An Ancient Astronaut Speaks by D Elkins, C Rueckert and JA McCarty, Part II

I reviewed this book in another article, but there is a significant idea that warrants a separate discussion. The book contains channeled material from an entity, Ra, from another dimension who provides specific information on the future of the human race. The future he predicts is not disaster, although it does involve our shifting from this dimension to a higher one.

One of the things I was reminded when I reread this book, published in 1984, is that we continue to have so much fear about beings from other dimensions, other planes and/or other planets. Statistics show that many of us believe in the existence of extraterrestrials or other dimensional beings. We seem to accept angels and spiritual guides, but see them in a separate category. While there are some negative entities out there, why is it so hard for us to believe that we are being helped? Why is it so hard for us to believe in a kindly God but not one who supplies others to assist our growth? Why is it so hard for us to let go of the feeling that this is the only reality?

Of course, the main reason for our disbelief is our fear. We fear the unknown, which includes the future and the existence of other beings. What I particularly like about this book is that the future presented is a very positive one, as seen through beings who want to help. These are the types of messages we need to be reading. Predicted catastrophes are all too common. We need a balance to know that with the right vision, we can help avert a disaster. With the right vision, we might be able to understand that everything is occurring for a reason and leading us to a better future, even if that future is unknown. With the right vision, we might be able to accept the help that is offered.

Fear of the future and fear of extraterrestrial beings. Perhaps these two are closely related, but we can't get lost in the image of the movie Independence Day and assume all other beings are out to conquer us. There are entities sent to help, and they will, if we only let them.

No one, however, can impact our future or our lives unless we ask. This is the free will of humans. Others are not allowed to interfere with that. If we accept the existence of other beings who can assist us, such as Ra in this book, then we can reach out and ask for their direction in our time of change. Be open to that possibility.
