Ra often uses the word spirit and they seldom definined their technical terms. I would like to ask them what they meant by this word.
The classsic era Greeks in their Mystery school taught that we have three levels of the mind which they symbolized with three elements. The instincts of this Earthly body were naturally enough symbolized with Earth or Stone. The next level up was called the Water mind, as water floats above a stone basin such as a seabed, and so effectively represents a next higher level than the Earth mind.
The third level was then the Air mind. This the Greeks called the Pneuma as we today call an air filled bicycle tire a pneumatic tire. The Roman translation of Pneuma is Spirit. Our word "reSPIRation" for breathing air comes from the same Latin root for air as does SPIRit.
Is this what Ra means?
This still does not inform very much, as I do not know what the Mystery school said of the Air mind; nor the Water mind either for that matter.
