The Building 4th Podcast

Mental Health counselors, Doug and Marie complete their three-part series on a deep dive into the Trinity.  This episode explores how healers are intentional participants of the divine desire to experience through creative expression. 

Doug and Marie continue exploring how the Trinity unfolds in the human experience. This is part 2 of the series:

Made in the Image of God and Growing in the Likeness of God

Part 2: The Trinity and the Human Experience

A.Law of Three and the Veil of Forgetting

B.Skin of Human Suffering

C.The hidden seeds in the ground below the Contrast

• The Seeds of Hope and the Flower of Joy
• The Seeds of Anxiety and the Weed of Terror

D.Joy: gestalt of manifested wholeness

Doug and Matt begin by discussing Brendan Graham Dempsey's work on metamodern spirituality, and particularly metamodern Christianity. Matt highlights the differences between how Eastern and Western spiritual traditions have been adopted and critiqued within this framework, noting that Western Buddhism has been largely stripped of its cultural and cosmological context due to the nature of the modern colonial encounter out of which it arose. He contrasts this with Christianity, which he thinks is more challenging to separate from its cosmological and ritual elements. Matt praises Brendan's efforts to challenge Biblical literalism and explore a version of Christianity that aligns with contemporary scientific understanding. However, Matt expresses feeling somewhat constrained by Brendan's approach, suggesting there are other ways to interpret, for example, the Christ event, that respect scientific perspectives without being reductionistic or literalistic. Doug agrees on the importance of balancing esoteric and exoteric elements in spirituality, using an analogy of understanding a Lamborghini by both driving it and examining its engine. He appreciates Brendan's honest grappling with these spiritual issues but notes the need for incorporating rituals to ground spiritual practice. They both stress the significance of ritual in religious practice, not as mere metaphors but as enactments that transform consciousness. Matt argues that rituals help bridge the gap between our limited, individual perspectives and a more expansive, collective and even cosmic understanding. Doug adds that rituals lay the groundwork for collective human experience and help us connect with the deeper truths of existence. Doug also brings up the challenge of modern political discourse, emphasizing the need for empathy and understanding in political conversations. Matt agrees, suggesting that political engagement should be centered in the heart, aiming for persuasion rather than force. They both acknowledge the difficulty of navigating political polarization in an increasingly “post-liberal” era, but stress the importance of seeing the humanity in others and striving for a more compassionate and inclusive dialogue.

This is the first of a three-part series entitled: Made in the Image, Growing in the Likeness.  This first part's title is: Being is Becoming: Why the Trinity is the Template of All Reality. 

Marie Woods:

Host of the "Everything You Need to Know in a Relationship" podcast and president/ founder of Life Above Foundation. In this enlightening episode, Marie and Doug discuss how the Trinity is the pattern for everything.

Doug Scott’s Bio

Doug Scott, LCSW, works as a mental health counselor in his private practice in Dallas, Texas. After graduating from college in 1997, he served as an international volunteer for two years in Bluefields, Nicaragua. This intense experience changed his life and he returned to the US to pursue graduate studies in clinical social work and pastoral ministry at Boston College. The nexus of spirituality and psychology have always intrigued Doug since childhood and he brings this sensibility to his counseling practice.

Doug Scott, LCSW, MA, grew up Catholic and was always drawn to the mystical lineage within this belief system. He had experiences with Jesus, Mary, and angels at an early age. His mystical inclinations have led him to seek the depth of things and teachers who inspire him, including: Richard Rohr, Cynthia Bourgeault, Ilia Delio, Teilhard de Chardin, Alfred North Whitehead, Jim Finley, and the lives of the Saints such as St. Francis of Assisi, Ignatius of Loyola, Teresa of Avila, and Teresa of Lisieux.

Doug sees the Trinity in everything and everywhere.  He sees how the living pattern of the Trinity provides the power for evolution in biology, psychology, and spirituality. For him, the Trinity is the codeword or abbreviated name of God. What is the long version? Something like this:  The Who-ing, the Why-ing, and the How-ing of Eternal Becoming.

Finally, Doug felt called to develop an approach—a type of pedagogy—that attempts to identify the steps in transformation and how a counselor, spiritual director, or caregiver in any position can help someone else initiate and process through the path of wholeness-making.  This is the SH!PS Approach.   

Presentation Outline:

A. Law of Three

B. Aware-Consciousness Principle

C. Creative Principle

D. Pan-Experientialism

E. To Hold, To Heal, To Bless: Pan-Sacramentalism

Doug Scott, LCSW brings his experience of a mental health counselor in exploring what the Law of Three has to offer when try to understand how the Ra Material describes how following the positive ethical pole and the negative ethical pole are equally difficult in Earth's Third Density.  

Doug Scott, LCSW, MA offers into a detailed presentation about his synthesis of various philosophical and mystical traditions, discussing the concept of cosmogenesis and the evolution of consciousness. He outlined how different forces interact to create new dimensions of being, referencing the Law of Three, Whitehead’s process thought, and other sources. Dr. Matt Segall, PhD, noted the resonance between Doug's ideas and those in other philosophical traditions, such as Steiner’s anthroposophy and Vedic traditions. He appreciated the depth and universality of the Trinitarian creative process Doug described. They discussed how these esoteric principles manifest at various scales, from the quantum level to the macrocosm of the Earth, and how tensions and conflicts drive evolutionary progress. As Doug elaborated on the Christ event and its cosmic significance, Matt reflected on the current global situation. He emphasized the heightened tension and fragmentation in human identity and how this mirrors the larger cosmic process. Matt expressed concern over the geopolitical conflicts and the way what were once "cultural runways" for spirit to incarnate have by now become "runaway cultures" that distract us from the task of individual transformation.

Join us in this last part of three episodes as we delve deeper into the SH!PS Approach. Our host begins with a grounding meditation, inviting us to connect with the Earth's energy and our chakras, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the SHIPS model: Solidarity, Hope, Inspiring Service, and Trusting the Process.

We revisit the concept of Solidarity, likening it to the ship itself – the essential vessel that enables connection and mutual support. The discussion moves into Hope, emphasizing its dual nature as both a feeling and a reality, and how it ties into the cosmic law of three, where every crisis holds the seeds of reconciliation and transformation.

The episode features an engaging exercise where participants identify their core values by imagining what they hope to be remembered for at their funeral. This exercise helps bring subconscious values to the forefront, allowing for more intentional living. Listeners are invited to explore their values by reflecting on people they admire and the characteristics they embody.

Trusting the Process is another key topic, where various models like "Order, Disorder, and Reorder" and "Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing" are discussed. The host emphasizes the importance of holy indifference – engaging in actions without attachment to outcomes, allowing for a more genuine and effective service to others.

The episode concludes with a focus on Inspiring Service, encouraging listeners to commit to specific acts of service and follow through. This practice not only enriches the lives of others but also deepens one's own spiritual journey by embodying core values in everyday actions.

Tune in for a transformative conversation that offers practical tools and profound insights to help you navigate your spiritual growth and personal development journey.

In this enlightening episode, we dive deeper into the transformative power of a metamodern approach to caregiving Doug Scott, LCSW, calls the "SH!PS Approach," a method designed to foster solidarity and hope in our relationships and interactions. Our host, Doug, shares personal stories and insightful techniques that have proven effective in creating meaningful connections and healing old wounds.

We explore the core components of the SHIPS approach, breaking down the significance of each letter and how they collectively guide us in entering the worldview of others. Doug emphasizes the importance of truly listening, holding space for others, and employing techniques that foster genuine empathy and understanding. Beginning with the  "i" in "ship," Doug shares that the "i," or as he writes, it, "!" is the mast of ship, and stands for "Interview," or sharing of views (entering the view of the other). "S" in "SH!PS" stands for entering into "solidarity." "H" is cultivating "hope." "P" is for trusting "process," and the last letter, "s," stands for inspiring, encouraging, or modeling "service."

The episode also delves into the concept of hope, offering a nuanced definition and practical ways to cultivate it. Using the Law of Three as a framework, Doug explains how affirming, denying, and reconciling forces interact to bring about transformation and new possibilities.

Listeners will gain valuable insights into techniques such as reflective listening, expressing gratitude, and inquiring about core values, all aimed at strengthening our ability to connect with and support others. Whether you're seeking to improve your personal relationships or enhance your professional skills, this episode provides a robust toolkit for fostering deeper, more meaningful interactions.

Join us for an inspiring journey into the heart of human connection, and learn how the SH!PS Approach can help you navigate the complexities of relationships with greater compassion and efficacy.

In this captivating episode, we continue our deep dive into the intricate world of energy centers, also known as chakras, following an enlightening discussion from last week. Our host leads us through an in-depth exploration of each chakra, from the foundational red ray (root chakra) to the transcendent violet ray (crown chakra), detailing their functions, common blockages, and how they influence our daily lives.

Special attention is given to practical methods for balancing these energy centers, drawing on insights from Ra's teachings. We discuss the importance of meditation and the conscious balancing of emotions, using patience and impatience as a key example. Listeners are guided through a step-by-step process to identify and harmonize their own energy centers.

We also delve into the concept of the "tone poem," a unique vibrational signature of each individual's energy configuration. Historical examples, including General Patton and famous composer Albert, illustrate how different energies manifest in various personalities. The episode wraps up with a group discussion, where participants share personal experiences and insights about their strongest and weakest chakras, providing a rich tapestry of perspectives on the journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth.

Join us for an enlightening session that promises to deepen your understanding of the chakras and offer practical tools to enhance your spiritual practice.

Building 4th community member, Demarcus, leads an enlightening episode discussion we delve into the fascinating world of energy centers, or chakras, and explore how they influence our daily lives. 

We start with an overview of the seven energy centers, discussing their electromagnetic and metaphysical characteristics. Learn about how intelligent energy flows through our bodies from both the Earth and the Universe, and how each chakra vibrates with unique expressions.

We then break down each chakra individually, from the foundational red ray associated with survival and security, to the powerful indigo ray linked to intelligent infinity and magical workings. Discover the common blockages and how they manifest in our physical and emotional well-being.

The episode also covers practical techniques for balancing these energy centers, including meditation and the use of antithesis to harmonize conflicting energies. By the end, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to maintain a balanced and healthy energy system.

This session is not just a presentation but also an engaging discussion, with participants sharing personal experiences and asking insightful questions. Whether you're new to the concept of chakras or looking to deepen your knowledge, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for everyone.

Entering the worldview of another is necessary for entering into solidarity, cultivating hope, trusting the process of development, and encouraging acts of service. The SH!P Approach to caregiving provides a simple, albeit not always easy, framework to help facilitate loving and effective accompaniment. Clinical social worker, Doug Scott, LCSW, synthesizes decades of spiritual seeking, pastoral praxis, counseling techniques, graduate education in theology, careful engagement with the Law of One material, and many hundreds of clients into a framework that can help inform loving service. Note: the SH!P Approach is for suggestions only, and is not a clinically researched protocol.

Doug Scott, LCSW, and Rudee Sade have a needed and provocative conversation regarding the disclosure movement (of UFO's, dark ops) and the reality of socio-economic inequality. Rudee Sade offers helpful links below.   

Here is an informative summary, albeit overly enthusiastic, created by AI:

Immerse yourself in groundbreaking discussions with this impressive podcast episode, where we courageously tackle bellicosity – societal enmity that fosters division, wars and numerous challenges. Our distinguished guest, Rudee Sade, paints a vivid picture of his life experiences, melding faith, love and societal norms, to provide an insightful perspective on the societal issues at hand.

We delve into the concept of ‘kyriarchy,’ exploring the systems that govern our society and the impacts they make on our lives. Highlighting the importance of resources in present-day conversations and the steps necessary for a holistic transformation, this episode is an eye-opener into the realities of social stratification.

Holding a magnifying glass to deep-rooted societal norms and injustices against marginalized groups, we dig deeper into the roots of societal hostility. Shining a spotlight on the overlooked side of privilege and the complexities of structural bias, we aim to bridge the gap between the privileged and the marginalized, fostering unity and harmony.

Identity, social justice, and love form the crux of this engaging discussion, further exploring the nuances of systemic adversity. With comprehensive discussion on broader societal structures and a critical evaluation of our collective psyche, we aim to break down walls of discrimination and build bridges of understanding.

Join us on this enlightening journey that embarks on thought-provoking discussions, sheds light on in-depth societal analyses, and prompts significant conversations about justice, truth, and ultimately, healing. Listen in to this enlightening episode, where we juxtapose privilege with adversity, surfacing the raw and intricate narratives of bellicosity and society’s most pressing challenges.

In this enriching exploration of the perplexing world of UFOs, disclosure phenomena, and the Law of One, Doug Scott and Austin Bridges delve into how these complex layers of existence intersect and influence each other. Our conversation revisits earlier perspectives and discusses crucial recent developments, notably the emergence of insider whistleblower David Grush, a former Air Force intelligence officer responsible for investigating UAPs and the groundbreaking proposals in the field of UFO disclosure.

The discussion further explores the understanding of UFO phenomena from the standpoint of social influencers, contentious debunkers, and distinguished academicians, examining the profound cultural and individual impacts. This episode takes you deep into the philosophies and spiritual perspectives surrounding the UFO phenomena, moving beyond the simplistic believers versus skeptics' viewpoint.

Engage in deep contemplation about the nature of consciousness and the dynamics of reality as we navigate through Jungian dream interpretation and philosophical discussions on symbolism. This episode broadens the perspective on the UFO phenomena, articulating how it embodies both elements of positive evolution and fear instilling influence, often leading to confusion.

Our exploration of the integration of the Law of One, metaphysics, and process theology sheds light on the understanding of polarity, the moral realm, and humanity's ascent into the fourth density. The episode also delves into academic discourses around UFOs, emphasizing the complexity inherent to such subjects and the importance of academia as the foundation for societal progression.

Conclude with a stimulating discussion about the balance of positivity and negativity in collective consciousness, examining humanity's alignment with the influx of information. This final contemplation agrees on a divine pull towards unity and wholeness and the influential role intellectuals play as bridge builders for future progress.

Doug and Victor share their stories about how each them became interested in alien disclosure and were influenced by disclosure advocates such as Steven Greer, David Wilcock, Corey Goode, and others. 

Trump, MAGA, postmodernity on the left and the right, and the problems of existential anxiety are discussed. 

Both Doug and Victor found their way through those experiences in different ways.  They discussed ways to engage in advocacy, including disclosure, from a different energy.

Doug and Victor discuss the nature of third density, the Patton Phenomenon (where he increased in positive polarity while decreasing in harvestability), and more.  We apologize for the poor sound quality coming in from Victor's phone.  This was Doug's issue. 

The Building 4th Community was led by Demarcus and Victor who responded to our questions.  This was a lively and fruitful discussion.

Matt and Doug have a  brief discussion on the different rhythms that are shared in the law of one. https://www.bring4th.org/biorhythms/

When we are born, four cycles begin from a zero point and continue to oscillate with a maximum and minimum intensity until the end of the incarnation. The physical cycle is a period spanning 23 days; the emotional cycle spans 28 days; the intellectual cycle spans 33 days, and the Adept cycle spans 18 days. Be aware of days where any part of a cycle intersects the zero point (0%), and especially if two or more cycles do this simultaneously.

64.10 Questioner: [In a] previous session you mentioned the gateway of magic for the adept occurring in eighteen-day cycles. Could you expand on that information please?

Ra: I am Ra. The mind/body/spirit complex is born under a series of influences, both lunar, planetary, cosmic, and in some cases, karmic. The moment of the birthing into this illusion begins the cycles we have mentioned.

The spiritual or adept’s cycle is an eighteen-day cycle and operates with the qualities of the sine wave. Thus there are a few excellent days on the positive side of the curve, that being the first nine days of the cycle — precisely the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth — when workings are most appropriately undertaken, given that the entity is still without total conscious control of its mind/body/spirit distortion/reality.

The most interesting portion of this information, like that of each cycle, is the noting of the critical point wherein passing from the ninth to the tenth and from the eighteenth to the first days the adept will experience some difficulty especially when there is a transition occurring in another cycle at the same time. At the nadir of each cycle the adept will be at its least powerful but will not be open to difficulties in nearly the degree that it experiences at critical times.

Category: Miscellanea: Biorhythms

64.11 Questioner: Then to find the cycles we would take the instant of birth and the emerging of the infant from the mother into this density and start the cycle at that instant and continue it through the life. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is mostly correct. It is not necessary to identify the instant of birthing. The diurnal cycle upon which this event occurs is satisfactory for all but the most fine workings.

Category: Miscellanea: Biorhythms

64.12 Questioner: Now, am I correct in assuming that whatever magic the adept would perform would be more successful or, shall we say, more to his design than that performed at less opportune times in the cycle?

Ra: I am Ra. This cycle is an helpful tool to the adept but as we said, as the adept becomes more balanced the workings designed will be dependent less and less upon these cycles of opportunity and more and more even in their efficacy.

This conversation took place between two seekers and friends.  Doug and Luis are students of life and find the Law of One material to be very helpful.  

“We may indicate that the [ankh] is a part of the concept complexes of the archetypical mind, the circle indicating the magic of the spirit, the cross indicating that nature of manifestation which may only be valued by the losing. Thus the crux ansata is intended to be seen as an image of the eternal in and through manifestation and beyond manifestation through the sacrifice and transformation of that which is manifest” (Law of One, Session 93.22).

This is deep and winding conversation. Topics include the true self, false self, process theology, process philosophy, joy, and the nature of love. 

Topics discussed include the cosmic architecture of experience as the foundational frequency, the manyness frequency, and the co-creative frequency; living from the green ray; living from the blue ray; loving and forgiving others.

This episode is a dialog between Doug and a spiritual seeker who is in the process of transformation.  This candid conversation was published with permission from the seeker as a gift for anyone who may resonate with the themes.

Notes from post:

SPECULATION!!!!

•Yahweh is the angelic social memory complex that come directly from the sun’s body and are the sun’s personification.

•They are Guardians and a part of the Council of Saturn

•The Council of Saturn is in charge of helping Yahweh learn about Itself through shepherding the sub-sub logoi that live within Yahweh’s sub-logoic body (the sub-logoic refinement within the inherited system of 7 densities).

•Yahweh’s first crop was Venus, and it went smoothly.  There was kinship. Yahweh chose a bias of loving kindness as a result of the relationship

•Yahweh’s second crop was Maldek, mixed polarity.

•Yahweh’s third crop was Mars, mixed polarity. Some improvement, only the atmosphere was destroyed. Yahweh felt bonded with the Martians.

•Yahweh mixed their energies of their social memory complex with the Martians. Other guardians thought this was infringement.

•What did Yahweh do? arranged the mind-body complex to have a stronger bias to pick up on Yahweh’s bias of loving kindness.

•18.18 Questioner: Can you tell me Yahweh’s purpose in making the genetic sexual changes?

•Ra: I am Ra. The purpose seven five oh oh oh [75,000] years ago, as you measure time, the changes subsequent to that time were of one purpose only: that to express in the mind/body complex those characteristics which would lead to further and more speedy development of the spiritual complex.

•

•What occurred? Council installed a Quarantine.

•Was this a punishment? No, it was always planned as a part of the sub-logoic development in its life-cycle

•Did Ra know this? I don’t think so. Did the Council of Saturn? Yes, I think so.

•Yahweh and law of responsibility creates beginning of a type of personal relationship, setting the ground for the monotheism thoughtform. This would be a novel way for the Creator to know Itself.

•Ra visits skies 18,000 years ago. Egyptians not ready because they were not seeking unity (contradictory in their beliefs and actions)

•Ra comes in flesh to teach. Caused a ruckus.  But further strengthened monotheism thoughtform.

•Ra and the pyramids

•Yahweh becomes Emmanuel meaning “I AM with you.”  Shows Yahweh’s development. Occupies the energetics of monotheism.

•Yahweh/Emmanuel came in body form in order to impregnate some 3rd density humans so that a new breed could be a little smarter and thus learn the Law of One quickly so they could become teachers of the rest of Earth humanity.

•Created elitism.  Why? Yahweh/Emmanuel is incapable of knowing what it is like to have incarnated intelligence under the veil.  Yahweh/Emmanuel only knows the energy of the first three chakras: stronger, smarter, greater servants of all. Instead they got: stronger, smarter, masters of all.

•Yahweh/Emmanuel only knows wholeness within wholeness.

•Akhenaten and the sub-logos (Yahweh/Emmanuel).  Egyptians saw disc as symbol of unity. “Unity” as a concept is pronounced “Ra.” Akhenaten was first monotheist.

•Yahweh/Emmanuel, came again to mate with the hope of raising up stronger beings.  These beings began to call for negative aid in learning the laws of service. This distortion allows the Orion takes on the name “Yahweh.”

•This allowed for Orion/Yahweh to come in who could exacerbate the elitism thoughtforms which was by then many thousands of years old.

•Orion/Yahweh means “I am your master”

•Big Diaspora

•24.17 Questioner: Could you tell me why the Orion group had to leave after, I believe, it figures to be a six-hundred-year period, why they had to vacate?

•Ra: I am Ra. Although the impression that they had given to those who called them [was] that these entities were an elite group, that which you know as “Diaspora” occurred, causing much dispersion of these peoples so that they became an humbler and more honorable breed, less bellicose and more aware of the loving-kindness of the One Creator.

The creation about them tended towards being somewhat bellicose, somewhat oriented towards the enslavement of others, but they themselves, the target of the Orion group by means of their genetic superiority/weakness, became what you may call the underdogs, thereby letting the feelings of gratitude for their neighbors, their family, and their One Creator begin to heal the feelings of elitism which led to the distortions of power over others which had caused their own bellicosity.

•Orion/Yahweh left because there was not enough of a call for them to stay; but mixed polarity was in full swing

•Yahweh/Emmanuel desires to do Emmanuel’s nature: loving kindness expressed as “I AM with you and I yearn for relationship (re-cognize).”

•Energetic logjam + monotheism thoughtform + trajectory of Emmanuel identity + cultural calling for Anointer (Christ) + Confederation endeavors + Council of Saturn working with other Councils to project manage Logoi desire to further experience the Creator’s Self as Face to Face encounter with Itself in veiled 3rd density condition + the entity known to us as Jesus saying yes to the mission

•Joshua Christ Event: was 1) development in Creator’s self knowledge, 2) development in logoic archetypal mind, 3) Yahweh/Emmanuel self knowledge development, 4) installs the forgiveness principle; 5) creates an efficient pathway to gnosis of self as creator through relationship (i.e. unitive consciousness) 5) it was an inter order of magnitude complex

Topics include: oversouls, higher selves, quarantine, Council of 9, and development of the sub-logos

This is part 2 of a long conversation between Doug and Austin. See part 1 for more comprehensive show notes. Thanks!

This is part one of two episodes that capture the in depth discussion of a holistic perspective (informed by the Law of One metaphysics) regarding UFO's, disclosure, and the process of moving into fourth density.

Netflix, Encounters: https://www.netflix.com/title/81489034

If we are to examine the Confederation Yahweh that is presented in the Law of One Material and in the Q’uo channelings1, we must first turn our focus upon the perennial spiritual questions that have always perplexed and delighted humanity.

• Who or What is the Creator?
• Why is there something (creation) rather than nothing?
• Why does creation evolve?
• How does creation evolve?
• And to what end to creation evolve?
• And what is the relationship between the Creator and creation?
• All of these questions are interconnected, and each one deserves more depth and breadth that can be achieved here. However, what I offer comes from a sincere seeking and an open heart.  I offer what I can based upon my background and limited points of view.

My working definition of the Creator, or God, or the Ground of Being, or Reality, is this:

The Creator is the who, the why, and the how of eternal becoming.

Through the development of Yahweh's gnosis of self as Logos, which is predicated upon the relationship between Yahweh as Creator and third-density Earth's planetary social complex (a communitarian organism) as Creator, the One Infinite Creator refines the Creator's Original Cognition to include a new twist. The Creator learns what it is like to enter into solidarity with Creatorself as third-density humanity. This step in the Creator's experience is called "Emmanuel" (Yod Heh Shin Vau Heh). Finally, with the Jehoshua Gestalt, the Creator through the medium of the sub-Logos (sun as Yahweh) comes into Earth's spacetime experience. This ushers in a new Archetype in the Creator's most articulated archetypal system of sevens. The new Archetype could be called Paschal Mystery and it is one of encounter.  In other words, the Creator's own self-gnosis evolves in something like this:

I am [Yahweh]

I am with you all [Emmanuel]

I am in it with you all [Jesus]

I am within you all [Indwelling Presence]

I am you all with each other. [Panentheism in solidarity]

I am you all within each other [Panandroism within Panentheism]

I am you all within each other becoming I am [Panexperiential Relational Processism]

DeMarcus Tucker leads a discussion with the Building 4th community about some of the metaphysics described in the Law of One material and the reality of climate change on our 3rd density planet Earth. He explains that the UFO phenomenon (disclosure) and planetary warming are connected to Earth's movement into the 4th density vibrational conditions.

The following was my presentation with the Institute of Global Transformation presents a (non-expert) overview of the Perennial Tradition. I try to describe the Perennial Tradition, present some distinctions in different views of Perennial Tradition, and how to embody any given teachings so that they are received, digested, and incarnated into a lived praxis.

This a brief introduction an important topic: Thoughtforms, sometimes called Elemetals. 

This is another brief presentation on Will (desire) and Faith.

This brief podcast episode is my attempt as a psychotherapist to translate good psychological techniques and the metaphysics of the Law of One material into a helpful practice.

Building 4th member, Danny Neece, gave a wonderful introduction to A Course of Love material. This channeled material has been instrumental to him and to many others in learning how to live out our daily lives with wholeheartedness.  Mari Perron, the one who received ACOL, was also present in the online gathering.  Some discussion included similarities between the Law of One material and A Course of Love.

34.4 Questioner: Thank you. Would you define karma?

Ra: I am Ra. Our understanding of karma is that which may be called inertia. Those actions which are put into motion will continue using the ways of balancing until such time as the controlling or higher principle which you may liken unto your braking or stopping is invoked. This stoppage of the inertia of action may be called forgiveness. These two concepts are inseparable.

17.20 [...] In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of action, or what you call karma.

I reflect with a friend on ways to interpret mystical Christianity from a Law of One perspective.  My friend is a practicing Catholic with a high mystical bent. She enjoys other spiritual material such as the Law of One material, which enriches her understanding of how to live out her faith in practice.

This episode took place between Doug and a friend who is a spiritual seeker committed to serving others from the seat of unity of love and wisdom. For those interested in the Law of One, Doug's understanding of the energy centers are informed by this material as well as his 22 years of counseling experience.  Doug edited this conversation to preserve confidentiality. 

This presentation is a deep(ish) dive into the Law of One's Catalyst of the Mind Archetype. For those interested in Ra's Archetypes, a study of the Catalyst of Mind can be important to learning how to process our catalysts with greater love.

Without discipline, we do not go deep.  We must have the will to grow and then the faith to believe that our will bears fruit.  But whatever we will, must move from just a nice idea into an embodied or incarnated action.  Otherwise, whatever inspiration we receive through our intuition doesn't get planted into the garden of our third-density lives but instead keeps getting blown around by the winds of unprocessed daily catalysts [*]. 

Our Building 4th community shared our Spiritual Practices with each other in order to help each other (and anyone listening through the podcast) plant and grow.  

Here are some of our disciplines:

• Ecstatic dance
• Gratitude
• Mindful dishwashing
• Reading inspirational material
• Centering Prayer
• Yoga
• Walking
• Morning offering and physical gesture of self to the Infinite Creator
• Lifestyle change about how to feel in the body
• Prayer of commitment: Commit my mind to be expanded; commit my heart to be healed; commit my soul to be transformed
• When synchronized numbers appear, use that sign to pray for someone
• Touch the heart to draw attention to the heart
• An active gesture of vulnerability to God: I want to show you what is in my inner life every morning.
• Glorying in the second density, nature.
• Walking in the cemetery talking to the people
• The Presence Process book. Breathing in and out: "I am...here now...in this. Make a response instead of reactivity.

*60.26 Questioner: There has been, for the past 30 years, a lot of information and a lot of confusion, and in fact, I would say the Law of Confusion has been [chuckle] working overtime, to make a small joke, in bringing information for spiritual catalysis to groups requesting it, and we know that both the positively and the negatively oriented social memory complexes have been adding to this information as they can. This has led to somewhat of a condition of apathy in a lot of cases with respect to the information by many who are truly seeking but have been thwarted by a condition of what I might call spiritual entropy in this information. Can you comment on this and the mechanisms of alleviating these problems?

I am Ra. We of the Confederation are at the call of those upon your planet. If the call, though sincere, is fairly low in consciousness of the, shall we say, system whereby spiritual evolution may be precipitated, then we may only offer that information useful to that particular caller. This is the basic difficulty. Entities receive the basic information about the Original Thought and the means, that is meditation and service to others, whereby this Original Thought may be obtained.

Please note that as Confederation members we are speaking for positively oriented entities. We believe the Orion group has precisely the same difficulty.

Once this basic information is received it is not put into practice in the heart and in the life experience but instead rattles about within the mind complex distortions as would a building block which has lost its place and simply rolls from side to side uselessly, yet still the entity calls. Therefore, the same basic information is repeated. Ultimately the entity decides that it is weary of this repetitive information. However, if an entity puts into practice that which it is given, it will not find repetition except when needed.

Doug and Leon discuss Leon's journey from deep depression to healer of other people as he learned about plant medicine and its gift for human consciousness. 

 In this presentation, I (Doug) speak with a friend about knowing ourselves and others, accepting ourselves and others, forgiving ourselves, and others, becoming agents of balance, and constantly seeking to open ourselves more to love. We touch upon the energy centers, Anchored Self and Floating Self, the dwelling place of the spirit, and the game of the Floating Self which involve power, prestige, and possession. For those students of the Law of One material, you will find this episode to be a practical application of some of the material's most important points about spiritually evolving.

Our Building 4th community member, Neal, presents on the inner planes according to various sources that have inspired him. The Inner Planes are a wide variety of planes/realms, known under many different names. It is where we go between lives. The inner planes are greatly populated with a very wide gamut of personalities.  Neal sources for this presentation include the Ra Material, Q'uo, and Michael Newton.

Session 17.36

Questioner
•I’ve heard that there are seven astral and seven devachanic
primary levels. Is this correct?
Ra
•I am Ra. You speak of some of the more large distinctions in
levels in your inner planes. That is correct.

Session 17.37

Questioner
•Well, who inhabit the astral, and who inhabit the devachanic planes?
Ra
•I am Ra. Entities inhabit the various planes due to their vibrational
nature.
•The astral plane varies from thought-forms in the lower extremities to
enlightened beings who become dedicated to teach/learning in the
higher astral planes.
•In the devachanic planes, as you call them, are those whose vibrations
are even more close to the primal distortions of love/light.
•Beyond these planes there are others.

I've adapted this method from the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, PhD (https://self-compassion.org)

There are seven steps:

1) Realize that you are "in shame."
2) Name that you are in shame (say out loud your to yourself, “I feel shame.”)
     a) Stay in the present moment, in your body.
     b) stabilize your awareness strongly so that you don’t get dragged back into images of pain
3) Fully accept that you feel shame. Be aware of bracing against versus embrace. Embrace your role as host that creates space for the energy of shame
4) Speak to yourself the way you would with whom you have warm relationship
     a) validate and normalize your feelings
     b) demonstrate that you are in solidarity with yourself.  Create a subject-to-subject dynamic inside yourself.
5) Open your heart to the world and all of the people right now that are feeling shame or whatever that you feel.  Be in solidarity with them.  Tell them that you see them. You are in it with them; that you understand them.
6) Breathe in and bless yourself. Breathe out and bless them.  Repeat for as long as you want
7) You are now diffused from the energetics of shame (or whatever else). Be aware that there will be temptations to start thinking about that “thing” that caused you to feel shame.  You have learned that you have agency over the focus of your attention.  With dignity and integrity, stabilize your focused awareness into the present moment, and dive into doing the next right thing that is  life-giving for you and for others.  

This description is a rough first pass at my attempt to conceptualize "Metanoism" with someone else.  I spoke with my friend and colleague, Brandi Reinhardt, LPC.  

Metanoism is a psychospiritual approach to being of service in the world for those who feel called to help lighten the planetary vibrations.

Metanoism is conceptual and practical. It is an embodied psychospirituality that is praxis oriented.  

It's worldview is metamodern and integral.

This 15-minute audio will help you deeply relax, connect with your body, and open your third-eye to create a powerful thoughtform of blue-ray energy. 

The following is taken from a presentation that I did about the Law of One metaphysics and Christianity, as I understand it.

Graphics can be found here: https://cosmicchrist.net/2023/02/03/audio-the-jesus-christ-event-and-the-law-of-one/

I am Ra. [...] "The seeker which has purely chosen the service-to-others path shall certainly not have a variant apparent incarnational experience. There is no outward shelter in your illusion from the gusts, flurries, and blizzards of quick and cruel catalyst.

However, to the pure, all that is encountered speaks of the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator. The cruelest blow is seen with an ambiance of challenges offered and opportunities to come. Thusly, the great pitch of light is held high above such a one so that all interpretation may be seen to be protected by light." (Law of One, session 95.24)

The Law of One is clear that the many people are here now to help midwife Earth's fourth density vibratory conditions.  The presentation pulls together Ra's descriptions of the Earth's third density. Ra's balancing technique helps us learn how to become the Creator by balancing our inner lives as we become more aware of what arises given the catalysts of the day.  Doug offers another type of technique that is based upon the Law of One and the techniques of self-compassion.  He calls this the Sacrament of Solidarity. Participating in the Sacrament of Solidarity is a kind of tapping into Intelligent Infinity and the result can be an explosion of love, joy, perspective, and integrity. Inner balancing naturally ensues.

This presentation takes place at the Retreat House Community Center in Richardson, Texas. Doug combines three teachings together to provide a deep, practical, and accessible synthesis of: 

1) the archetypal wisdom of Jungian psychiatrist and spiritual director, Troy Caldwell, MD (retired),

2) the perennial wisdom of the Enneagram, 

3) a modified version of Richard Rohr's teaching of the True Self/False Self, which Doug calls the Anchored Self/Floating Self

Rob Kornmeyer was raised Catholic and later found meaning in Norse religion. He offers his understanding of the Norse religion and ties it together with some aspects of the Law of One material.

In this fourth part of the Universal Christ presentation, Doug ties in the Enneagram Types with the Anchored Self, Floating Self pedagogy to reveal a more comprehensive exploration of how the Universal Christ is present in and through the human consciousness.

In this third part of the Universal Christ series, Doug continues to speak to a group of colleagues who work together in the financial sector where they teach their clients how to become good stewards of their money and use it to bring about more justice and solidarity with others who struggle socially and economically. Doug introduces the concept of the the Anchored Self and Floating Self, which builds upon the teachings of Richard Rohr, OFM. How discusses ways in which we can learn to embody our Anchored Selves more and more, while using our Floating Selves to do good in the world.

This second presentation on the Universal Christ continues to draw our attention to God's perfect symmetry between the macroscopic and the microscopic. Secondly, Doug speaks about the pattern of Love's own becoming in which there is always a dying and rising, loss and renewal, losing and gaining. This paradox is exquisitely exemplified by the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Drawing upon Richard Rohr's teaching, we see that Jesus is a visible icon of an invisible universal Reality. To find out what God has been up to for the last 14 billion years, look at the life of Jesus; and to find out how to interpret the life of Jesus, engage with God's "first Bible:" creation and its cycles of transformation. There's perfect symmetry there, too.

This presentation is the first in a series of five on the theme of the Universal Christ. Doug introduces how an ever transcendent reality is simultaneously immanent in the immediacy of our daily lives.

Cosmic laws provide the structure of the Creator's evolution in knowing Itself.  The Law of Doubling, or also known as the Law of Squares, finds its origin right at the headwaters of the Original Thought and the Original Desire.  It is true on a physical level (think of how cells exponentially multiply from a zygote to a human), psychological, and spiritual.  The Law of Doubling gives us a metaphysical insight as to how seeking (and finding) works, whether that seeking is internally endeavored by one person or by a group of people focusing upon one thing.
