Ra had Power View … see it here? š (edit: correction, Personal - even more interesting maybe)
My comments follow below šš¼
Ra said -
āI measure outer authority every day. Itās one of the many, many reasons that I participate in Facebook.
I find Facebook to be an incredible laboratory.
Obviously, most of the beings in Facebook are not-self, are homogenized.
And they are all trying in one way or another, because it's natural for us as beings with the Throat Center and a mind that we are going to do the best we can to articulate something.
Bob Dylanās old line about youāve got a lot of knives and forks,
- youāve got to eat something,
- youāve got to cut something,
- youāve got to do something with it.
So I watch it every day.
I watch the news feeds, what people put out as their outer authority.
And Iāve made comments about this before. You get to see an enormous amount of conceptualizing that is derivative, that is, rooted in somebody else's or something else's perspective, that somehow because a perspective is associated with this person or that person or historically a perspective that was offered by some historical figure ā¦
That somehow that that historical perspective is valid at the expense of their own, that it is more significant than their own.
Any of you who are on Facebook, take a look at the newsfeed and see how many people actually say something about themselves, or that comes out of themselves.
Not the fact that they say,
āOh, this is a great video, or
āOh, this is a great piece of music,
but actually say something, actually provide some outer authority rooted in their own experience on this plane, that they're actually offering up their perception and offering that up to others.
Itās astonishing to watch all of that.
So one of the real exercises in all of this is really to begin to see how much of your intellectuality is derivative and how much of your intellectuality is rooted in correct perception.
In other words, what the framework [is] through which you are designed to intellectually release your outer authority.ā

I have some beef to speak about this passage - wasnāt he mostly Individual circuitry? Iād have to check but I seem to recall from other passages of him talking that thatās true.
So now juxtapose this passage with the one I just shared about Collective Circuitry.
It would seem reading this one (as I take it in anyway) that heās suggesting that sharing stuff from other sources than yourself without some details of your own is somehow inferior.
Ahh the irony that so many people just share his quotes straight up. Heād probably be pretty amused by that.
And yet, we can see thereās value in that being received every single day, by others via that activity.
Also, thereās a natural curation process that happens - which would argue IS a form of Outer Authority - itās part of whatās filtering through that unique being and being rippled forward - intact or in context - or not.
But also, what heās offering here imho, is basically a recipe for correct recognition and content that especially stands apart from the mindless crowds.
Sometimes I have energy for that, sometimes not. This bit added after this passage is an example of a hybrid sort of share/content - this commentary is my Outer Authority, but the post itself here in Locals is essentially a collaborative effort between me and whoever sourced the Ra passage - in this case most recently that is Emiro Parra.
And Ra had Power view (oops, I got corrected in a FB group - he had Personal view - Emiro has Power - and Chaitanya too if I recall - also a content curator) ā¦ so seeing things through a sort of winner/loser lens, was exactly (in)correct - for him.
Context is everything eh??
I can see/hear that piece plainly here. Can you?
Artists - writers included - are conditioned to feel superior (or shamed) based upon how unique their work is. Iām not sure thatās appropriate for everyone.
In fact Iām pretty certain itās just another conditioning thatās bullshit for most people to be grappling with.
Correct for some, bullshit for most.
An individual being here (Ra) - sharing his Outer Authority, perpetuating a conditioning.
I find it interesting to be able to see stuff like this.
