As I've said many times before, I look forward to you writing a book or similar. : )

Also, it's interesting you should quote that passage. I've recently come to believe that in my own patterns of seeking, I am rocking back and forth in the transformation described by Ra in the same archetypal portion of the mind you quoted above. Reaching higher, seeking the subtle, but turning to the material illusion nonetheless for quick gratification and escape. One or the other has to be given up.



Thanks my friend. Love & Light, GLB

I know I am mentally ill, but am determined to keep trying to live well in this world so that I can be a good father to my son. In his eyes, I see the magic of the One Infinite Creator, though that does not completely let me escape my fears and stresses. My twin focuses now are my job and my health, so that I can be of value to my dear and lovely family.

Quote:Observe the struggle of a caged bird to fly.

Quote:The figure is expressing the nature of experience by having its attention caught by what may be termed the left-hand catalyst. Meanwhile, the power, the magic, is available upon the right-hand path.

The nature of experience is such that the attention shall be constantly given varieties of experience. Those that are presumed to be negative, or interpreted as negative, may seem in abundance. It is a great challenge to take catalyst and devise the magical, positive experience.
