I've been looking into the exercise Ra gives in 5.2, offering the steps to mental discipline.
Ra claims that the mind must be opened like a door (the key being silence).
"Within the door lies an hierarchical construction you may liken unto geography and in some ways geometry, for the hierarchy is quite regular, bearing inner relationships."
As they go on to explain the different steps to mental discipline, I think I get a bit of an idea what they mean by "geography" and "geometry." Silence may allow us to gaze upon the mind as a map, identifying different aspects of our mind and their relationships. Ra gives the example of internally identifying the polarities of our dimension, such as impatience/patience, both in ourselves and in other-selves.
I suppose that these types of polar relationships are, in part, what Ra was referring to as "geography" and "inner relationships." However, I still don't fully understand what is meant by this.
Ra says the last step of this particular area of learning/teaching "involves observing the geographical and geometrical relationships and ratios of the mind, the other mind, the mass mind, and the infinite mind."
Does anyone have any clarification to offer on what is meant by this? What types of ratios are there to be observed? What relationships are to be explored beyond these types of polar expressions (impatience/patience etc.)?
Also, is the "mass mind" the racial/archetypal mind?
