1991-07-08. Rayson & Friends Compilation – Preface, Forward, Index
PREFACE.
This volume is not the original composition. The original 100 copies, of Volumes 1 and 2 were created by Duane Faw, sometime after 1994. This volume has been re-created by scanning the original printed document. The original bi-column format has not been retained, because in this modern international age, we have the ability to recompose documents to different page formats and sizes, and the bi-column format does not lend itself well to that process.
We have attempted to recreate this as closely as possible the original. Readers may note that spellings are not entirely “American”, and this is the way of the original. We have added some punctuation, and corrected the small number of obvious typographical errors, and added hyphens, but with few exceptions, we have refrained from altering words, even when word usage is strange. Thus, as far as possible, we have retained the “soul” of the original. The document will find a resting place in the Teaching Mission Archives, and interested parties can download copies from that web site. The URL is http://www.tmarchives.com/
There is no copyright on this material. Geoff Cutler, Sydney, January 2004.
FOREWORD
This booklet contains selected teachings of RAYSON and friends before January 1, 1993. It includes all formal lessons of RAYSON during this period. The text of the lessons, themselves, has not been edited except to remove false starts, corrections made by RAYSON, and personal names. When appropriate, the name of a transmitter/receiver has been replaced by the symbol (T/R). Names of “students” have been replaced by the symbol (S) or (Student)
It also includes selected statements of, questions to, and answers by, RAYSON and friends during this period. Those relevant to the formal lessons are included in the order in which they were asked following them. The remainder have been omitted. The questions, themselves, have been edited to focus upon the question asked, but the answers by RAYSON and friends are in the exact wording with the exceptions made in the lessons.
Eight different T/Rs have communicated messages from RAYSON and friends reported in this booklet. Some were more proficient than others. Some were less proficient at the beginning sessions of their transmission than later. No attempt has been made to rate the T/Rs or to omit material based upon the lack of proficiency of any T/R. This is for the readers to ascertain by reference to their Thought Adjuster and the Spirit of Truth.
The booklet is divided into three parts. Part I is about RAYSON, the Teaching Mission, the Teachers, and the preparation of the lessons. Part II contains the teachings, themselves. It is organized and arranged alphabetically by topics. There are some duplications when appropriate. Part III contains the prayers of RAYSON, verbatim.
“RA YSON & FRIEND’S” is prepared and distributed by the students of RAYSON. Questions and comments should be addressed to:
Duane & Lucile Faw 2399-3A Via Mariposa West, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
