What the Voice Said
For eight days Ra Uru Hu was given a body of knowledge by what he called the Voice. For the rest of his life he was careful to say which parts he was told, which parts he was never told, and which he worked out for himself. Every dot on this wheel is one of those statements, in his own words.

Reading the wheel
The rings
Nearest the centre are the Voice’s own words, where Ra gives them as speech. Next is what he reports it told him. The dashed ring marks where he says it told him nothing. On the rim is his own reading, which he often flags with “I think”, “I assume” or “it seems to me”. Blue threads join a thing he was told to what he made of it. Dots ringed in rose are tellings that pull against each other; a dashed rose line joins each pair. They are left open, not settled.
Some fragments sit on a line, and the sorting is ours.
Whose words
Every fragment is Ra Uru Hu speaking, from his lectures, courses and books, unless it is marked as a compilation of his sayings or a retelling by someone else. Ellipses mark where words were left out.
Repetition is not confirmation. Ra told “Are you ready to work?” many times, and it is still one man’s account of one night.
Sources
The fragments are drawn from Ra Uru Hu’s original teachings, taken from our library of his lectures and books and from the 2006 film Encounter with the Voice, in which he tells the whole story. The film was transcribed by machine. Transcripts can mishear, so check any wording that matters to you against the published editions from Jovian Archive.
