Higher Self/Magical Personality as Analog

[Sacred Fool]

Mr J, I wasn't entirely grokking your notion put forward in post #8 and continued in this one. You describe the qualitatively different nature of working in spirit. In that mode, you say, one has a different navigational set of tools; as you put it, a "one employs a different profile of sensory elements." And you liken the magical personality as that aspect of the 3D self which functions in these higher or more subtle modes of consciousness, not quite the higher self.

That doesn't however jive with 75.36 which says, "When the magical personality is properly and efficaciously invoked the self has invoked its Higher Self. Thus a bridge betwixt space/time and time/space is made..."

(ellipsis)

So this higher self, which is in the relative world not the incarnate self (though ultimately two points on the same circle of beingness), gets a phone call in the invocation and subsequently bridges itself to the third-density mind/body/spirit complex. Through time/space and into space/time manifestation I believe.

The 3D self (on the other end of this bridge) then is cloaked in this this vestment of personality which is imbued with magical perception and power. This vestment of personality having, as you were indicating, that "different profile of sensory elements." Able, as I believe you were saying, to work in the subtle ways of spirit, which are a different order of magnitude than your casual lunch-choosing figure.

Well now, I am suggesting--again, for whatsoever it may be worth (you decide)--that some of the above is more apparent than real.  {Or is it the other way around?}  Or, put another way, I am trying to explore the continuity on your circle of being, specifically that between the ordinary self and the MP, as is apparent from a 3d perspective.

First of all, just to clear up one point of definition, in my experience with "metaphysical working," people casually refer to the "higher self" when contacting what Ra calls the MP.  It seems to be a form of self, it is deeply associated with self, so it makes sense to call it that.  In the context of this conversation, however, I prefer to use Ra's definition of the HS and call this other sucker the MP.

Now, what is the MP, exactly?  What is this thing that seems like a HS (is analogous to the HS, one might say)?  Looking at it from the top down, as it were, I'm suggesting it is that thing your current personality is a projection of into 3d.  So, this thing says I wanna have another fling in 3d and it chooses various lessons, personal attributes, etc., and these are you, SF, alias Gary, the guy wondering at this moment, what the hell is this crazy dude trying to say this time? 

I'm going out on a limb here, admittedly, but so far as I can see, from the bottom up, as one clarifies one's finer senses and sensibilities, as one becomes more and more rarefied, one becomes a clearer reflection of that thing from which one's 3d "self" was projected.  This is the clearer you, less inflected by the rampant confusion of 3d.  It also contains your bio from countless other projection experiences.  When you think about it, what else, exactly, would you be likely to approximate as a result of this process?


I'll indulge in a detour here to introduce a bottom up "analogy."  Say you wake up one day and find that your incarnation has timed out--game over.  What then?  Well, perhaps you will meet a transitional helper to guide you onwards?  Belike your own specific gravity will lead you onwards?  In any case, you'll need to learn to use finer sensory navigational resources than those to which you are accustomed to using in 3d (except when doing work in spirit.)  In time, if there were such a thing, you will become reconciled with your personality as you have lately known it.  Beyond that--and here I'm back out on that shaky limb--I would aver that there is an opportunity to reconnect your foregone personality with the critter which, in wandering fashion, created you as a projection into temporary 3d incarnation.  This thing, I am claiming, is your very own MP, analogous to what Ra calls the HS.


When working in spirit, as 3d beasties, we do need a cushion (or vestment) and a bridge to help us navigate the sudden change from corporeal orientation to spiritual orientation.  I'm suggesting that, gradually, over time, this leads us to becoming more transparent to our MP, allowing it to do more work directly in 3d through us as "instruments."



Clear as mud, I'm sure.  But, ya know, I'm here to try, not necessarily to succeed.  I can maybe succeed in the next incarnation.
