The words of RA in explanations of the paths we all take to become intelligent infinity individual beings as we travel through this 3rd dimensional matrix are instructive and great reading for the soul.
As RA said many times, all religions have value to a degree as all of Earths religions contribute in a small degree to put people in position to at least open their individual minds to the possibility of understanding the higher selves we each possess.
At the same time, all the organized religions can and do most often become traps/diversions to some individuals from finding their higher selves because of the traditions of men that creep in and try to control all things.
So while religion does some good for some people, it probably at the same time hurts as many people that it helps. This is actually understandable as you come to the knowledge of polarities of service to self and service to others and explains the "why" of why is religion like it is.
So I do not think highly of organized religion at all, but there is a place for it for "some people".
I come from a Christian perspective as the being that came into my bedroom one night when I had 6 months to live according to main stream doctors was identified to me as "God". This being healed me and cast out five devils that dwelt inside of me, and I never had a clue that anything was living inside of me against my will all of the 30 years before this night took place.
To say that I had a revelation that night is a great understatement.
The God of the Bible calls this earth plane, "the valley of the shadow of death". This title by itself is most intriguing and makes me very curious. Also curious is the language used by RA many times while explaining the 3rd dimensional illusion.
The words Ra uses is in many instances are the same words that Y'shua Messiah used while teaching the disciples. For example the word harvest used many times by Ra is also used by Y'shua in his teachings.
The reference by Y'shua to go inside of yourself to find the "Kingdom of God" is very much the same thing spoken of by RA.
So it is obvious to me at least that the RA material is indeed authentic communication as RA also uses words that are compatible to many other religions as well.
This type of teaching is very effective by RA, as he uses these terms that many here on Earth are familiar with.
The RA social memory complex is a most unique type of group and there understanding is indeed a clear knowing of what is going on behind the scenes of our 3rd dimensional veil of illusion.
Another example of similarity to the Christian faith is the 8 densities that Ra describes. Ra describes that there are 7 densities of growth and then we graduate to the 8th density which Ra says is also the 1st density of the next octave of change. Ra also says that the 8th density is the density of infinity. So there are 8 total steps to infinity.
Here is a link from RA material that explains this.
http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/sep2/ra.htmAlso please note that in Christianity, Adam and Eve were created on the 8th day after it says that God rested on the 7th day. This is not commonly taught in Christian Churches and they would want to stone me for saying this.
So the Ra material also agrees with Christian doctrine on this point as well. So the concepts that Ra teaches agree with many of the worlds religions at some points and I find this most interesting.
