This article talks about a peculiar instance of "phantom limb syndrome," where a woman who was born with a deformed hand missing two fingers, the whole hand later amputated, acquired a phantom limb of a (relatively) normal hand, previously missing fingers included.
This is peculiar because it has been assumed that phantom limbs exist due to the previous experience of having said limbs. If this woman never had these fingers, how could they be be present on the phantom limb?
The doctors are guessing that this case points to evidence that our bodies "development plan" is innate within our brains...there's a type of blueprint present on how our bodies are supposed to look.
This could point to further implications in the context of the Ra material's description of plans for existence from our local sub-Logos. According to Ra, it is the choice of the Logos which type of 3rd density vehicle will be available to evolving consciousnesses within its archetypal structure...in our case, "the bipedal, erect form of the second-density apes."
While this certainly isn't any sort of hard evidence for the presence of some metaphysical archetypal plan within our minds, perhaps this is related to an ever-present blueprint in the minds of 3rd density humans? Maybe the phantom limb imitated an "appropriate" configuration because of the structural choices of the Logos?
