The worldview expressed in the Law of One/“Ra Material” and the Hidden Hand interview
https://www.wanttoknow.info/secret_societies/hidden_hand_081018
The way I see things, these two sources explain existence, the state of our world, and the meaning of life far more accurately than any other. One is a “channeled” work, and the other is a long series of Questions and Answers between a conspiracy forum (RiP ATS) and a self-proclaimed world-controller. I see them as complimentary, showing a deeper reality by showing two sides of the same coin. One side being that of Service-to-Others, and the other being Service-to-Self

Thread will stay open for 3-4 weeks thanks to a very helpful suggestion.
You could always expand on how you fit those two notions (the Golden Rule v the demanded fate of the amelkites) together. It’s not like the conversation was supposed to end when you answered the question. It was infact supposed to begin from there.
P.S. no rush, no pressure. This has been a breakthrough already.
How I fit it is this; "the Lord, your God, is One, love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all your mind and all your strength" (Deutetonomy 6:5), "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Meaning, I am to obey Him, whatever He says, even if I don't understand, I trust He knows best:
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
and your ways are not My ways.”
This is the Lord’s declaration.
“For as heaven is higher than earth,
so My ways are higher than your ways,
and My thoughts than your thoughts."
(Isaiah 55:8-9)
It took some time but now, I trust Him waaay more than I trust myself.
Just this much is EXCELLENT, and a stage of growth many never get to. Keep the Faith!

God is soo Good!
Hmm,
interesting response - are there any other areas of the Bible that are like this for you, that you can think of? That is, subjects where something God does or says doesn’t make sense to you, but you trust in His wisdom regardless?
The story of Gideon and the tiny army to go against a huge army is always close to my mind.
Jesus sending disciples out into really dangerous places and telling them to carry a sword but not to live by the sword.
Two great examples. What id point out are the commonalities of both; how in each case God, through a process of individual’s free choice, selects a few to overcome the many, not through violence, but through a firm and morally principled posture of knowledge, wisdom, and mastery over the physical. This wisdom dissolves their opposition - again, not through violence, but illumination. The fact that some react violently to this illumination is seemingly unavoidable (so bring a sword when you travel the unknown territories! And know when to keep it sheathed!)
For me, one of the hardest to understand sayings of Jesus goes something like:
Now, I’d ask, do you read that as indicating Jesus literally is like, “provoking” these conflicts? Like, is there a “team Jesus” that hes marching alongside, as they engage in righteous slaughter? Or instead, is what’s happening more along the lines of the above, our ignorance violently revolting against His wisdom causing these outbreaks of violence described?
