Power Days

[Quantum]

I have intuitively drawn a distinction between the Nadirs and Zeniths directly as a result of Ra seemingly drawing a distinction between the two as though a hint.

Hi again Q,
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.

Hello to you dear 3D. Thank you as always for staying with it, as much as directly on top of it. I agree that Ra is wholly speaking to the Gateway of Magic in entirety as regards that of inner work (spiritual work) vs anything as transient as what we might consider outer work (earthly work), i.e. defined broadly as a very good day for choosing numbers for the power ball. But it seems he may be hinting at it. It further seems I'm as much on the right track as the wrong when re-reading my first post (paragraph 3/5th line) wherein I state as you do that days 13,14,15 of the negative curve (which I intuit as earthly - but is it?) must consequently be the converse to the positive curve of days 4,5,6.

I go on to contradictorily muse in the same 3rd paragraph of the last line by wondering if days 1,2,3 and 16,17,18 may be Nadirs and as such might be best for earthly work (I was also visualizing a bell shaped curve rather than a circle given Ra speaks to the positive curve vs the negative). You've helped me to further resolve this musing to re-evaluate what a Nadir truly is. The Nadir, as mused, is not the crossing/transition point of days 9 to 10 and days 18 to 1, but is the literal definition simply of the bottom or ground point as opposite ends of the circle (vs the curve) as defined by the word Nadir vis-a-vis the astrological term as "the point on the celestial sphere directly beneath a given position or observer and diametrically opposite the zenith"; Synonyms: bottom, floor, foot, depths; (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/nadir). (I wondered if Nadir might instead be interpreted as days 1,2,3 as the positive bottom of the curve and 16,17,18 as the negative bottom of the other end of this curve).

If George Bernard Shaw quipped that Britain and America were two nations divided by a common language, I wonder what the resident satirist sitting in Council at the Confederation might have quipped with regard to Ra in 6D and man in 3D attempting communication with one another. Thank goodness a m/b/s complex in 3D communicating with another m/b/s complex in 3D has far less difficulty...huh........(tongue dug squarely into cheek).

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.

It is exactly for this that I intuited the 13-15 days as potentially representing a converse relationship to days 4-6 in my first post.

So, we've established that Zeniths are 4-6, and 13-15 respectively and that at the crossing points of 9/10 and 18/1 are where difficulties lie. Might we assume these difficulties only lie as regards inner work only, or for outer as well?

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.

Help me to understand if we are saying the same thing when I say that it might be argued that days 1-9 in total are more reserved for inner work given days 4,5,6 (Zenith positive) are most powerful for same, and for which we may infer that days 10-18 are best for outer work, and for which we have determined that days 13-15 (Zenith negative )are most powerful for said outer work? Therefore 1-3 are waxing for inner with 4,5,6 as Zenith and whereas waning from 7-9; and for the positive curve they would seem to be waxing 10,11,12 with 13,14,15 as most powerful and waning from 16,17,18.

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.

Agreed once again. But until we can fly we must avail ourselves to all the instruments at our disposal whist walking as pilgrims on dusty paths through the shadows we came here for.

Here again I return to the spiritually pragmatists path of not wishing too soon to depart into the deep end of the pool until readily called by forces higher than my petty will of wishing to speedily depart out of 3D, and this before having learned to adeptly swim first, and although inadvertently not thinking it through, nonetheless wishing everyone else mayhem in the process, i.e. by default hoping for the flood, fire, quake or shift of 2012 as not coming soon enough. I humorously continue to see this as antithetical thinking with respect to beings in aspiration towards STO love. I rather like my coffee and tea to brew slowly (gradualist camp) versus out of a jar as instant (instantaneous camp). Earthly food as much as Spiritual food is also best served as gourmet requiring the time to prepare as much as savor, versus fast food for instant consumption.
