I said what I wanted to say about it in Post #1 of this thread. 
I believe that I have accurately restated 1.1 and 1.6 in the paragraphs following them, and that any other conclusions I made in those paragraphs were sound deductions made from Ra's actual statements in those quotes.
For discussion:
Firstly, I would be interested to know if anybody thinks I made some faulty reasoning in my restatement of 1.1 and 1.6.
Secondly, I have proposed that, when an apparent discrepancy in the material or confusion arises, that 1.1 and 1.6 (NOT my restatements of them) be used to reconcile those differences. I would be interested to hear people's opinion on that proposition.
Thirdly, I would be interested to see alternative restatements of 1.1 and 1.6. To be clear about what constitutes a restatement, and not an interpretation or commentary, one would go through 1.1 and 1.6 sentence by sentence and think of other ways to say the same thing and/or draw conclusions that clearly and directly follow from what Ra actually said in those quotes. That means, no inferences or "reading into" what they said.
