I did the Morning Offering and then got myself ready for the day. Today the Ra quote comes from 81.13:
“Questioner: We have already discussed the Significator, so I will skip to number thirteen. Transformation of Body is called Death, for with death the body is transformed to a higher-vibration body for additional learning. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and may be seen to be additionally correct in that each moment, and certainly each diurnal period of the bodily incarnation, offers death and rebirth to one which is attempting to use the catalyst which is offered it.”
In the first part of his question Don made an incorrect assumption that we had already covered the Significator of the Body, so he didn’t ask Ra any questions about it. As a result, this particular card got even less than the scant information from Ra that we were able to get on Cards 8 through 22. Neither Carla nor I noticed this error at the time, probably because we were so inundated by this totally new information on the archetypical mind that we failed to check to see if Don was correct in thinking that we had already questioned about the Significator of the Body.
The Significator of the Body is called the Hanged Man or Martyr. The nature of the body is, in my opinion, one of sacrifice. The body provides the vehicle for the mind to travel about within the third-density illusion and proceed on the spiritual path. The existence within the third density would not be possible for a soul without a body to make this journey. In 97.10, Ra gave an example of how the body allows the mind of a soul to move about within the physical reality:
Consider for the self, O student, whether your thoughts can walk. The abilities of the most finely honed mentality shall not be known without the use of the physical vehicle which you call the body. Through the mouth the mind may speak. Through the limbs the mind may effect action.
Then Don asked Ra if the reason that the Transformation of the Body was called Death was because when a person dies the body is “transformed to a higher-vibration body for additional learning.” In 30.3, Ra confirmed this statement:
Questioner: Upon our physical death, as we call it, from this particular density and this particular incarnative experience, we lose this chemical body. Immediately after the loss of this chemical body, do we maintain a different type of body? Is there still a mind/body/spirit complex at that point?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. The mind/body/spirit complex is quite intact; the physical body complex you now associate with the term “body” being but manifestation of a more dense, and intelligently informed, and powerful body complex.
And in 51.10, Ra gave more details about the experience just after the death process has begun:
Questioner: Immediately after the death of the physical body, you have stated that the—I believe I’m correct in saying that—primary activated body is the indigo, and you stated that it is the form-maker. Why is this so? Can you answer that?
Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full query of this session of working.
The indigo body may be seen to be an analog for intelligent energy. It is, in microcosm, the Logos. The intelligent energy of the mind/body/spirit complex totality draws its existence from intelligent infinity, or the Creator. This Creator is to be understood, both in macrocosm and microcosm, to have, as we have said, two natures: the unpotentiated infinity which is intelligent—this is all that there is.
Free Will has potentiated both the Creator of us all and our selves as co-Creators with intelligent infinity which has will. This will may be drawn upon by the indigo, or form-making, body, and its wisdom used to then choose the appropriate locus and type of experience which this co-Creator, or sub-sub-Logos you call so carelessly a person, will take.
But the part of Ra’s answer that I like the best is that each day, and even each moment, offers us a chance to die to old ways and be reborn into new ways of moving along our spiritual path. We simply need to pay attention to the catalyst that we have programmed into our incarnations and process it into experience for this death and rebirth process to continue for our entire lives. Every bit of catalyst that we process into experience makes us just a little wiser, a little more loving, and a little more able to become “new and risen beings.” In 73.10, Ra described how this process may become enhanced by the adept who uses white magic rituals:
We would further note a point which is both subtile and of some interest. The upward spiraling light developed in its path by the will, and ultimately reaching an high place of mating with the inward fire of the One Creator, still is only preparation for the work upon the mind/body/spirit which may be done by the adept. There is some crystallization of the energy centers used during each working so that the magician becomes, more and more, that which it seeks.
This afternoon I went back outside and pulled the little grass-like weeds out of the moss garden. We have had a lot of rain recently, so they came out of the ground very easily. Then I got the water hoses out of the basement and got them hooked up to the outdoor water faucet. I also used a garden rake to smooth out a low spot in the front parking area beside the pet cemetery. It feels good to be back outside getting a little work done these last two afternoons.
From A Book of Days, channeled by Carla L. Rueckert:
March 1
The Year Of Jubilee
I am of the principle of the love of Jesus the Christ and I greet you in the full consciousness of that love.
We greet you in your divinity, knowing that you cannot see it and find it hard to believe that it exists. We greet you as children of the Father, heirs to all that love may bring, sons and daughters of eternity.
We greet you who are trying to unstop your ears and peel the veil of illusion from your eyes and urge you instead to enter into your own heart and, there, clean the house of the Lord and make ready your own self, trusting in the sweetness and perfection of the creation of the Father, which is your self, that you may be worthy to receive the gifts of the spirit.
It is for each to decide when the year of Jubilee shall come; when the acceptable time of rejoicing shall be declared. The potential lies in each and every day. May you turn within in peace and, cleansing yourself diligently and persistently, prepare yourself ceaselessly to be channels of love. For such voices, hearts and hands as yourself are the presence of love in your world.
We leave you in the peace which does not deny responsibility and in the comfort of love which does not deny responsibility, in the hard and creative love and joy of divine consciousness, now and ever. 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.
