I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 92.25:
“Questioner: There seems to be a book on the Priestess’s lap which is half hidden by the robe or material that covers her right shoulder. It would seem that this indicates that knowledge is available if the veil is lifted, but is not only hidden by the veil, but hidden partially by her very garment which she must somehow move to become aware of the knowledge which she has available. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In that the conceit of the volume was not originated by Ra we ask that you release the volume from its strictured form. Your perceptions are quite correct.
The very nature of the feminine principle of mind which, in Ra’s suggestion, was related specifically to what may be termed sanctified sexuality is, itself, without addition, the book which neither the feminine nor the male principle may use until the male principle has reached and penetrated, in a symbolically sexual fashion, the inner secrets of this feminine principle.
All robes, in this case indicating the outer garments of custom, shield these principles. Thusly there is great dynamic tension, if you will, betwixt the Matrix and the Potentiator of the Mind.”
Still on Card #2, Don asked Ra if the book in the High Priestess’s lap might represent hidden knowledge since her robe partially covers the book. Ra said that Don was correct even though the book was not of Ra’s creation, so we should remove it from the card. Then Ra went on to say that the secrets of the subconscious mind, which have to do with sanctified sexuality, can only be made available to the conscious and subconscious minds by the symbolically sexual penetration of the inner secrets of this feminine principle by the conscious mind, or the Magician. I am guessing that this symbolically sexual penetration of the “secrets of this feminine principle” would be represented by the conscious mind using meditation to go more deeply into its own subconscious/feminine mind to receive intuitive inspiration from the riches that are available there. I believe that the positively-oriented male actually engages in what could be called a courtship of the subconscious mind, and the negatively-oriented entity engages in a plunder of the subconscious mind, as Ra suggested in 99.8:
Let us now observe the evaluation of the two females. The observation that to the left-hand path moves the roughly physical and to the right-hand path the mental has a shallow correctness. There are deeper observations to be made concerning the relationship of the great sea of the unconscious mind to the conscious mind which may fruitfully be pursued. Remember, O student, that these images are not literal. They haunt rather than explicate.
Many use the trunk and roots of mind as if that portion of mind were a badly used, prostituted entity. Then this entity gains from this great storehouse that which is rough, prostituted, and without great virtue. Those who turn to the deep mind seeing it in the guise of the maiden go forth to court it. The courtship has nothing of plunder in its semblance and may be protracted, yet the treasure gained by such careful courtship is great. The right-hand and left-hand transformations of the mind may be seen to differ by the attitude of the conscious mind towards its own resources as well as the resources of other-selves.
In 92.20, Ra gave the general principle of this courtship of the High Priestess by the Magician, or the unconscious mind by the conscious mind:
Questioner: The Matrix of the Mind is depicted seemingly as male on the card and the Potentiator as female. Could Ra state why this is and how this affects these two archetypes?
Ra: I am Ra. Firstly, as we have said, the Matrix of the Mind is attracted to the biological male and the Potentiator of the Mind to the biological female. Thusly in energy transfer the female is able to potentiate that which may be within the conscious mind of the male so that it may feel enspirited.
In a more general sense, that which reaches may be seen as a male principle; that which awaits the reaching may be seen as a female principle.
The richness of the male and female system of polarity is interesting, and we would not comment further but suggest consideration by the student.
In 71.17, Ra gave a little information about “sanctified sexuality”:
The heart of white magic is the experience of the joy of union with the Creator. This joy will, of necessity, radiate throughout the life experience of the positive adept. It is for this reason that sexual magic is not restricted solely to the negatively oriented polarizing adepts, but, when most carefully used, has its place in high magic as it, when correctly pursued, joins body, mind, and spirit with the One Infinite Creator.
Any purpose which you may frame should, we suggest, take into consideration this basic union with the One Infinite Creator, for this union will result in service to others of necessity.
This was another Sabbath Day of Rest. I used most of the morning to answer emails from a friend who needs help in processing the passing into larger life of her sister. I made my usual errand run after lunch, stopping first at Feeder’s Supply to buy food for the kitties. My second stop was at Paul’s Fruit Market to buy food for myself. My last stop was at Walgreen’s Drug Store where I picked up more supplies for the house. In the afternoon I did some proactive watering of the recently planted flowers and shrubs all around the yard as the forecast for the upcoming week has the potential for record highs in the 90’s each day.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
June 12
The Abiding Peace
I am the spirit of the principle of the consciousness of Christ and I greet you in that love.
I move to comfort you at this time by suggesting that you meditate upon the perfection of the abiding peace which lies beneath your actions, for there is great comfort available to you, as the in-breath which contains your spiritual food. Each time that you breathe in it is possible for you to become the living quality of Christ, for as breath is light to your bodies, so the same breath contains food for your spirit, a manna which your souls desire.
Breathe deeply, my children, of the love within each moment, and when you breathe out let your emanations express all of the best that you have to give.
And if you stumble, continue to breathe, for every breath is an opportunity to focus on love and to fill your life with that love.
Peace be with you, now and always. 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.
