Can anyone help me equate Ra's "bodies" with ones I'm more familiar with? I've heard of physical, etheric, vital, desire (emotional), astral, mental, and light bodies...but their meanings overlap somewhat. I have no idea what the devanchanic body is--I've studied nothing in the Eastern traditions.

Here's what the Ra Material states...

47.8 Questioner: In our esoteric literature numerous bodies are listed. I have listed here the physical body, the etheric, the emotional, the astral. Can you tell me if this listing is the proper number, and can you tell me the uses and purposes and effects etc. of each of these and any other bodies that may be in our mind/body/spirit complex?
Ra: I am Ra. To answer your query fully would be the work of many sessions such as this one, for the interrelationships of the various bodies and each body’s effects in various situations is an enormous study. However, we shall begin by referring your minds back to the spectrum of true colors and the usage of this understanding in grasping the various densities of your octave.

We have the number seven repeated from the macrocosm to the microcosm in structure and experience. Therefore, it would only be expected that there would be seven basic bodies which we would perhaps be most lucid by stating as red-ray body, etc. However, we are aware that you wish to correspond these bodies mentioned with the color rays. This will be confusing, for various teachers have offered their teach/learning understanding in various terms. Thus one may name a subtle body one thing and another find a different name.

The red-ray body is your chemical body. However, it is not the body which you have as clothing in the physical. It is the unconstructed material of the body, the elemental body without form. This basic unformed material body is important to understand for there are healings which may be carried out by the simple understanding of the elements present in the physical vehicle.

The orange-ray body is the physical body complex. This body complex is still not the body you inhabit but rather the body formed without self-awareness, the body in the womb before the spirit/mind complex enters. This body may live without the inhabitation of the mind and spirit complexes. However, it seldom does so.

The yellow-ray body is your physical vehicle which you know of at this time and in which you experience catalyst. This body has the mind/body/spirit characteristics and is equal to the physical illusion, as you have called it.

The green-ray body is that body which may be seen in séance when what you call ectoplasm is furnished. This is a lighter body packed more densely with life. You may call this the astral body following some other teachings. Others have called this same body the etheric body. However, this is not correct in the sense that the etheric body is that body of gateway wherein intelligent energy is able to mold the mind/body/spirit complex.

The light body or blue-ray body may be called the devachanic body. There are many other names for this body especially in your so-called Indian Sutras or writings, for there are those among these peoples which have explored these regions and understand the various types of devachanic bodies. There are many, many types of bodies in each density, much like your own.

The indigo-ray body which we choose to call the etheric body is, as we have said, the gateway body. In this body form is substance and you may only see this body as that of light as it may mold itself as it desires.

The violet-ray body may perhaps be understood as what you might call the Buddha body or that body which is complete.

Each of these bodies has an effect upon your mind/body/spirit complex in your life being-ness. The interrelationships, as we have said, are many and complex

Perhaps one suggestion that may be indicated is this: The indigo-ray body may be used by the healer once the healer becomes able to place its consciousness in this etheric state. The violet-ray or Buddhic body is of equal efficacy to the healer for within it lies a sense of wholeness which is extremely close to unity with all that there is. These bodies are part of each entity and the proper use of them and understanding of them is, though far advanced from the standpoint of third-density harvest, nevertheless useful to the adept.

Thanks for this collection, it all makes a lot of sense for me and I am going to contemplate this further before I make any more comment.
I've pondered this same question. My conclusion is that we have 7 bodies in each density, mirroring the system of 7's down and down.

I am assuming that the green ray body (or astral body) is the thing that does Out-of-Body experiences, and can 'roam' the astral version of the real world and get actual data (like flying up through the floors of a hospital, and report back on what they saw at the time. Many corroborated accounts of this).

the goal is to get to the indigo and violet ray bodies; miracle healings can be performed in that state (total reversal of any illness or malady; reversing the aging process even)

done via the pyramid:

Quote:59.20 Questioner: Why would this reverse aging?

Ra: I am Ra. Aging is a function of the effects of various electro-magnetic fields upon the electromagnetic fields of the mind/body/spirit complex. In this position there is no input or disturbance of the fields, nor is any activity within the electro-magnetic field complex of the mind/body/spirit complex allowed full sway. The vacuum sucks any such disturbance away. Thus the entity feels nothing and is suspended.

this is the most pertinent point from your original quote J -

Each of these bodies has an effect upon your mind/body/spirit complex in your life being-ness. The interrelationships, as we have said, are many and complex

there is also a bunch of stuff in the follow up questions which further elucidates the issue:

also note that these bodies are DIFFERENT from the Dual-Activated Bodies of the Crystal Children. They have an Activated 4th Density True Color Green body. That is to enable them to do 4th Density work while the photon from our Sun is shifting from 3d to 4d frequencies in this time. They are truly walking between two worlds.

Shin'Ar

This is all about vibration and frequencies and how we do this based upon our various reactions to our environment. With every experience we go through our vibrations are altered and affected. The field of consciousness that we relate to as Ra is vibration just like every other in the universe.
