The Ra Material is certainly an interesting puzzle. Many of us would agree with what you listed in relation to the new age mindset, but, mirrors are everywhere aren't they? If you look at zen buddhism or taoism, those belief systems ultimately point to the heart, where an enlightened person would never consider themselves enlightened..in the sense that it's understood that there isn't such a thing as awake versus asleep..and that the truth is a feeling of unconditional love in the moment.
I feel that this is what Ra was essentially trying to express..they were zen buddhists! Yet our seeking to place things within a cosmic framework leads to distraction and unnecessary details, a necessary journey ironically (which by the way was initiated by the group asking all sorts of questions), but ultimately I think they were trying to impart a simple message. But they were also trying to express the symbolic nature of reality and our power within to function magically, which I believe to be real by way of my own experiences.
