For those Heavily serious on the adept path

[Namaste]

Fundamentally, the Ra Materials are merely shadows as well.  The only major difference being that Ra is aware of this and deliberately/willfully cast his shadow to try to provide the best possible representation under very limited circumstances.

And, of course, my words are only shadows as well, lest anyone think I'm putting on airs.  

Like I said, I'm not trying to take anything away from people who find value in this.  I just think it's VERY important that someone examining these theoretical systems realize they do not, cannot, and will never provide actual truth.  True understanding can only come from within, and knowledge of the higher energies can only be gained by working with them, not reading about them.  These diagrams\discussions are merely another set of signposts attempting to point towards truth.  

I think of such systems as being ideological scaffolding, basically.  One might need such things to climb the structure initially, but at the end, the scaffolding is unnecessary and superfluous once the work is completed.  Hanging onto such scaffolding past its point of usefulness only distorts the underlying structure, rather than enhancing it.

When approached from THAT mindset, these materials could probably be useful to some people.

We each go through phases of searching inwardly and outwardly in whatever manner. The outward search may be an addiction, a distraction or lust for knowledge. The inward search will naturally follow in which we contemplate all that has been outwardly ingested.

In and out. Day and night. Yin and Yang. It's an infinite cycle, one in which we're each at a unique point that represents our catalyst and opportunity for growth.
