For example, allow me if you will:Ra states that the Nadir points are the points, which although are weakest, are also the ones that as a consequence offer the least amount of difficulties (challenges?) to the adept during these periods. This being stated, might we assume that at the lowest Nadir points, being those of the least amount of difficulties, that we might as a result also have the advantage for the adept encountering less challenges, and as a result offer more advantage for doing Earthly work for this very reason?
Hi again Q,
Hmmmm, here are a few other thoughts for you mull over.
As I read it, Ra is describing the opportunities for "difficulties" (in this case especially psychic attack, recall that this is greater context of the discussion regarding the adept's cycle) at the very moments of the nadirs.
What I find most interesting is that Ra does not describe the significance of the negative zenith (or indeed, the entire negative cycle) at all. That is to say, if the positive zenith of days 4-6 are the optimum days for work of the adept, and the nadirs are days of weakest energy, then what do days 13-15 represent? It seems more likely to me that these would be the best days for outer work if such days are reflected in the cycle at all.
Given this interpretation, the power for outer vs inner would be waxing from days 6-14, when it reaches a zenith, and then would be waning from days 15-5. The opposite would be happening for inner vs outer. What then becomes most interesting about the nadirs, is that they represent essentially zero potential for work (and hence protection) of either form. I have always been intrigued by the process of "flipping polarities" as it were, it seems to me that the moments of the nadirs represent just such discontinuities.
Lastly, the way I read Ra's statement "given that the entity is still without total conscious control of its mind/body/spirit distortion/reality", is another way of Ra reminding us that the more balanced an entity (e.g., the more in control of their own reality), the less the cycle holds sway.
