there are a few places where Ra references the mind/body/spirit complex as being distinct from the 'physical vehicle' in which we inhabit and make use of experience.

Quote:65.19 Thus Wanderers volunteer for third-density genetic or DNA connections to the mind/body/spirit complex.

and here where Carla's complex is whisked away from her physical vehicle for safekeeping, while the yellow ray shell is used as an instrument for communications. Note that Carla's complex has some ability to experience 6d vibrations:

Quote:88.5 We have the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument with us.

As this entity begins to awaken from the metaphorical crib of experiencing light and activity in our density it is beginning to be aware of the movement of thought.

Quote:91.11 There is what you might call the silver cord reflex; that is, when the mind/body/spirit complex dwells without the environs of the physical shell and the physical shell is disturbed, the physical shell will reflexively call back the absent enlivener; that is, the mind/body/spirit complex which is connected with what may be metaphysically seen as what some of your philosophers have called the silver cord. If this is done suddenly the mind/body/spirit complex will attempt entry into the energy web of the physical vehicle without due care and the effect is as if one were to stretch one of your elastic bands and let it shrink rapidly.

and here 'death' is spoken of in relative terms, when it comes to the physical vehicle, and the eternality of the mind/body/spirit complex:

Quote:64.5 We may note for your information that our pause was due to the necessity of being quite sure that the mind/body/spirit complex of the instrument was safely in the proper light configuration or density before we dealt with the situation.

Far better would it be to allow the shell to become unviable than to allow the mind/body/spirit complex to be shall we say, misplaced.

Quote:95.25 if any entity is able to dwell completely in unity the only harm that may occur to it is the changing of the outward physical, yellow-ray vehicle into the more light-filled mind/body/spirit complex’s vehicle by the process of death.

All other suffering and pain is as nothing to one such as this.

so there are two elements at play. There is a mind/body/spirit complex which is not subject to death/decay, and which can create/utilise different physical vehicles (in the different densities) for the purposes of experience and learning. And when it chooses 'genetic connections' to those physical vehicles, those vehicles provide certain constraints or limitations on what is possible (two arms, two legs), and those contraints would seem to extend to mental activity; as in 3d we have the existence of the Veil, which creates a partition in the 'mind'.

so would it be fair to say that when we have these genetic connections to a physical vehicle, the locus (focus) of consciousness is shifted to the physical vehicle, and so we experience the 3d body, and 3d mind. And yet, the mind/body/spirit complex as a consciousness is still operant, and can be accessed during meditation/dream work, when the 3d mind and 3d body is quieted, and reduced to motionless? and so the locus/focus of consciousness can shift back to the mind/body/spirit complex?

Quote:82.6: ...in your modes of perception you would perhaps more properly view the seeding of the creation as that of growth from the center or core outward.

Quote:82.10 Questioner: Why does this partaking in the original thought have a gradient radially outward? That’s the way I understand your statement.
Ra: I am Ra. This is the plan of the One Infinite Creator. The One Original Thought is the harvest of all previous, if you would use this term, experience of the Creator by the Creator. As It decides to know Itself It generates Itself into that plenum, full of the glory and the power of the One Infinite Creator which is manifested to your perceptions as space or outer space. Each generation of this knowing begets a knowing which has the capacity, through free will, to choose methods of knowing Itself. Therefore, gradually, step by step, the Creator becomes that which may know Itself, and the portions of the Creator partake less purely in the power of the original word or thought. This is for the purpose of refinement of the one original thought. The Creator does not properly create as much as It experiences Itself.

Quote:82.9 Questioner: Are these central original creations a cluster of what we call stars, then?
Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. However, the closer to the, shall we say, beginning of the manifestation of the Logos the star is, the more it partakes in the one original thought.

Quote:...The precision with which each energy center matches the Original Thought lies not in the systematic placement of each energy nexus but rather in the fluid and plastic placement of the balanced blending of these energy centers in such a way that intelligent energy is able to channel itself with minimal distortion.

The mind/body/spirit complex is not a machine. It is rather what you might call a tone poem.
