I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 89.23:
“Questioner: Then could you tell me what information you gave to the Egyptian priest, or Egyptian, who first was contacted or taught with respect to the first archetype? Is that possible for you to do within the limits of the First Distortion?
Ra: I am Ra. It is possible. Our first step, as we have said, was to present the descriptions in verbal form of three images: one, eight, fifteen; then the questions were asked: “What do you feel that a bird might represent?” “What do you feel that a wand might represent?” “What do you feel that the male represents?” and so forth until those studying were working upon a system whereby the images used became evocative of a system of concepts. This is slow work when done for the first time.
We may note, with sympathy, that you undoubtedly feel choked by the opposite difficulty, that of a great mass of observation upon this system, all of which has some merit as each student will experience the archetypical mind and its structure in an unique way useful to that student. We suggest that one or more of this group do that which we have suggested in order that we may, without infringement, offer observations on this interesting subject which may be of further aid to those inquiring in this area.
We would note at this time that the instrument is having almost continuous pain flares. Therefore, we ask that each of the support group be especially aware of any misinformation in order that we may correct any distortions of information the soonest possible.”
We were studying the Matrix of the Mind, the first of the archetypes, and in this question Don asked Ra how they taught the Egyptians about this archetype. Ra replied that they simply asked the Egyptian students what they felt each of the images on this first card represented to them: the male, the wand, the bird, etc. They also asked that the students relate these images to the Matrix of the Body and the Matrix of the Spirit. This kind of interchange with the Egyptians was much like our relationship to Ra during our sessions in which they would respond to our ideas as to what the images meant, but they would not offer any information about the images until we had made an attempt to grasp the meaning of each facet of the card ourselves. This procedure ensured that they would not infringe upon our free will by learning for us. It was in 77.23, that Ra first asked us to give our interpretation of the images on the tarot cards so that they could then comment on our observations:
Questioner: In that case, it seems that a thorough knowledge of the precise nature of these philosophical foundations would be of primary importance to the study of evolution of mind, body, and spirit, and I would like to carefully go through each of the basic twenty-one, starting with the mind, if this is agreeable with Ra.
Ra: I am Ra. This is agreeable with two requests which must be made.
Firstly, that an attempt be made to state the student’s grasp of each archetype. We may then comment. We cannot teach/learn to the extent of learn/teaching.
Secondly, we request that it be constantly kept before the mind, as the candle before the eye, that each mind/body/spirit complex shall, and should, and indeed must perceive each archetype, if you use this convenient term, in its own way.
Therefore, you may see that precision is not the goal; rather, quality of general concept complex perception is the goal.
Then Ra completed their response to Don’s question by noting that the process used with the Egyptians was lengthy as the Egyptians were beginning this study with no knowledge at all of the archetypes. They also commiserated with us in having the opposite problem in that the tarot is widely written about in many different ways so that we had to try to separate what was central to the images from what was not. In 89.25, Ra elaborated how we might begin our study of the archetypes:
Questioner: Sorry, I didn’t understand exactly what you meant with respect to that. Would it be appropriate then for me to answer the questions with respect to what I think is the meaning of the three items that you spoke of for Card One and then Card Eight, etc.? Is this what you meant?
Ra: I am Ra. This is very close to our meaning. It was our intention to suggest that one or more of you go through the plan of study which we have suggested.
The queries having to do with the archetypes as found in the tarot, after this point, may take the form of observing what seem to be the characteristics of each archetype; relationships between mind, body, and spiritual archetypes of the same ranking, such as Matrix; or archetypes as seen in relationship to polarity, especially when observed in the pairings.
Any observations made by a student which has fulfilled these considerations will receive our comments in return. Our great avoidance of interpreting, for the first time, for the learn/teacher various elements of a picture upon a piece of pasteboard is involved both with the Law of Confusion and with the difficulties of the distortions of the pictures upon the pasteboard. Therefore, we may suggest a conscientious review of that which we have already given concerning this subject as opposed to the major reliance being either upon any rendition of the archetype pictures, or any system which has been arranged as a means of studying these pictures.
Ra also mentioned that Carla’s body was experiencing continuous pain flares, so they asked that we keep an eye out for any errors so that Ra could correct them as soon as possible. In 87.17, Ra suggested that Carla could reduce pain flares by prayers before the session began:
This entity, though far better cleared of distortions towards the pain flares when prepared by those mental vibration complexes you call prayer, is still liable to fluctuation due to its pre-incarnative body-complex distortions and the energizing of them by those of negative polarity.
This morning I went outside and finished digging the third and fourth quadrants in the cross area where I have recently planted 16 ever-blooming azaleas. Then I used my folding ladder to hang the hammock on one of the large black walnut tree limbs in Dana’s Crystal Corner. My last job of the day was to clean the small limbs off the corner of the garage roof where a couple of big maple trees limbs came down two weeks ago in a severe thunderstorm. Now I am going to post this Camelot Journal entry a little early today in preparation for the arrival of my college roommate my senior year who is driving here with his wife this evening. We will have dinner together at the Village Anchor Restaurant after I give them a tour of the house and gardens. We will have breakfast together tomorrow morning, and then they will be off to Asheville, North Carolina as the next stop on their tour of the southeastern United States.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
May 2
Lift Them To The Lord
I am that principle which comes in the name of the Lord Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of divine love.
We would focus this morning upon the word, “cherish.” All of you are wounded. Turn to the spirit within and in faith lift up your wounds, your hearts, and your spirits as an offering to the Creator, the Father of all.
Trust in the spirit of love to create within that offering the consciousness of cherishing; of lightening the burden; of lifting the heart; of making a true offering of the self, not just as a wounded self but as a self that is always in the presence of healing. It is a right and joyful thing to do; it brings you no reward but that you have remembered to cherish and praise the Creator of all.
As you move through your day, gaze upon the many chores that seem so mundane and the relationships that do not seem to be happy, useful or helpful. And once again lift them to the Lord, cherishing these seemingly ruined gifts.
For it is in the strength of the principle which we represent, that of divine love, that all these are turned into a cherishing. For you ask for nothing back, nothing in return but only to make an offering of your life as it is, as you are.
You are cherished. Lift your consciousness and you, too, shall cherish the mundane and so change it into an offering of praise, thanksgiving and blessing.
We leave you in the consciousness of healing, completely unselfish, divine and cherishing love; love that shall give you peace, now and evermore. Amen.
I said the prayer at the Gaia Meditation tonight:
We come in the name of Love and open our hearts, our minds, and our souls to send love, light, and healing energies to Mother Earth as she brings forth a New Earth in fourth density. We ask that the infinite love, light, and healing energies of the One Infinite Creator heal the heart of each soul in pain on Earth tonight. May all souls on Earth feel our love, light, and healing energies in their hearts, in their minds, and in their souls. Amen.
