In this talk to the Building 4th community, Doug Scott explores the angelic realm through the Ra Contact, with Daskalos's The Esoteric Teachings as a major secondary source. He offers a working theory of angels as something like algorithms, looks at the Great BASH as humanity's collective dark angel, and describes four faces of the demonic and how to meet temptation as catalyst.

A note on slide 3: In this recording, the slide on where Ra speaks of the angelic cites 7.9. On a closer read, that passage is about the twenty-four who back the Council of Nine, and Ra doesn't call them angelic there. The blog post carries the corrected slides.

Part 2 follows next week, with clarifications and new material on what Ra means by "angelic presences."

In this second talk to the Building 4th community, Doug Scott continues his exploration of the angelic realm through the Ra Contact, with Daskalos's The Esoteric Teachings as a major secondary source. He pictures the Creator as a sphere and as a tree, distinguishes "angelic" as a quality of purity from "angelics" as the archangels' sub-agents, and offers an image for how we and our higher self grow toward each other: the pail and the reservoir. He then turns to four faces of the demonic, what Ra says about the lower-astral thoughtforms behind the cattle mutilations, systems of separation as "spirits in the air," and practices for protection grounded in Ra's words: love is the greatest protection.

A note on two citations: In the recording, the passage "give thanksgiving for each moment… this is all the protection necessary" is cited as 64.21. It's 32.1; "love is the greatest protection" is 64.21. The five steps are Doug's own; Ra's discipline of the personality is threefold: know yourself, accept yourself, become the Creator (74.11).
