From seeker to spiritual adept

[Confused]

Jeremy, it is revealing that the 'significator of the mind' is paired with 'the choice'. This ties back to the earlier Hermetic reference that 'The ALL is Mind; The Universe is Mental'.

I also now have a distinct feeling that the mind equals consciousness. This may be common knowledge to many on these forums, but for me, it is a startling new discovery. Please consider the following LOO quote (extracted from 4.17), with respect to healing -

Firstly, the mind must be known to itself. This is perhaps the most demanding part of healing work. If the mind knows itself then the most important aspect of healing has occurred, for consciousness is the microcosm of the Law of One.

Is then the knowing of the mind unto itself = consciousness? Then the question arises as to how the mind can know itself, and even what does that phrase actually mean?

And in one part of 4.18, Master Ra says the following -

The function of the spirit is to integrate the upreaching yearning of the mind/body energy with the downpouring and streaming of infinite intelligence.

I think the above quote of Master Ra can be linked with another quote from the LOO (extracted from 49.6), with respect to 'awakening the kundalini' -

We have two types of energy. We are attempting then, as entities in any true color of this octave, to move the meeting place of inner and outer natures further and further along or upward along the energy centers.

I think the LOO exchange of 49.6 provides a layout of the ideal functionalities in terms of allowing the travel of the metaphorical serpent up through the energy centers/chakras. Extracted from LOO - 49.6

Each experience will be sequentially understood by the growing and seeking mind/body/spirit complex in terms of survival, then in terms of personal identity, then in terms of social relations, then in terms of universal love, then in terms of how the experience may beget free communication, then in terms of how the experience may be linked to universal energies, and finally in terms of the sacramental nature of each experience.

In schema, we can say the following, I think -

Red ray = survival
Orange ray = personal identity
Yellow ray = social relations
Green ray = universal love
Blue ray = free communication
Indigo ray = linking experiences to universal energies
Violet ray = understanding the sacramental nature of experiences

I confess that the facets of linking experiences to universal energies (Indigo ray/chakra) and understanding experiential sacramental qualities (Violet) are beyond my range of comprehension, though I have paraphrased them to the best of personal accuracy possible from the words of Master Ra.

Any thougts, Jeremy, and/or other individuals interested in this thread?
