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).
