Quote:Book 3, session 54

Ra: I am Ra. While it is a primary priority to activate or unblock each energy center, it is also a primary priority at that point to begin to refine the balances between the energies so that each tone of the chord of total vibratory being-ness resonates in clarity, tune, and harmony with each other energy. This balancing, tuning, and harmonizing of the self is most central to the more advanced or adept mind/body/spirit complex. Each energy may be activated without the beauty that is possible through the disciplines and appreciations of personal energies or what you might call the deeper personality or soul identity.

Questioner: Let me make an analogy that I have just thought of. A seven-stringed musical instrument may be played by deflecting each string a full deflection and releasing it producing notes. instead of producing the notes this way the individual creative personality could deflect each string the proper amount in the proper sequence producing music. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. In the balanced individual the energies lie waiting for the hand of the Creator to pluck harmony.

Quote:Book 3, session 64

Questioner: In a previous session you mentioned the gateway of magic for the adept occurring in eighteen-day cycles. Could you expand on that information please?

Ra: I am Ra. The mind/body/spirit complex is born under a series of influences, both lunar, planetary, cosmic, and in some cases, karmic. The moment of the birthing into this illusion begins the cycles we have mentioned. The spiritual or adept’s cycle is an eighteen-day cycle and operates with the qualities of the sine wave. Thus there are a few excellent days on the positive side of the curve, that being the first nine days of the cycle—precisely the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth—when workings are most appropriately undertaken, given that the entity is still without total conscious control of its mind/body/spirit distortion/reality. The most interesting portion of this information, like that of each cycle, is the noting of the critical point wherein passing from the ninth to the tenth and from the eighteenth to the first days the adept will experience some difficulty especially when there is a transition occurring in another cycle at the same time. At the nadir of each cycle the adept will be at its least powerful but will not be open to difficulties in nearly the degree that it experiences at critical times.

Questioner: Then to find the cycles we would take the instant of birth and the emerging of the infant from the mother into this density and start the cycle at that instant and continue it through the life. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is mostly correct. It is not necessary to identify the instant of birthing. The diurnal cycle upon which this event occurs is satisfactory for all but the most fine workings.

Questioner: Am I correct in assuming that whatever magic the adept would perform at this time would be more successful or, shall we say, more to his design than that performed at less opportune times in the cycle?

Ra: I am Ra. This cycle is an helpful tool to the adept but as we said, as the adept becomes more balanced the workings designed will be dependent less and less upon these cycles of opportunity and more and more even in their efficacy.

Quote:Book 3, session 73

Questioner: It seems to me that the primary thing of importance for those on the service-to-others path is the development of an attitude which I can only describe as a vibration. This attitude would be developed through meditation, ritual, and the developing appreciation for the creation or Creator which results in a state of mind that can only be expressed by me as an increase in vibration or oneness with all. Could you expand and correct that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. We shall not correct this statement but shall expand upon it by suggesting that to those qualities you may add the living day by day and moment by moment, for the true adept lives more and more as it is.

Quote:Book 3, session 75

Questioner: I am sorry for my confusion. Sometimes, as you say, sound vibration complexes are not very adequate. The answer to this next question probably has to do with our distorted view of time, but as I see it, Wanderers in this density who come from the fifth-density or sixth-density should already be of a relatively high degree of adeptness and they must follow a slightly different path back to the adeptness that they once had in a higher density and get as close to it as they can in the third-density. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Your query is less than perfectly focused. We shall address the subject in general. There are many Wanderers whom you may call adepts who do no conscious work in the present incarnation. It is a matter of attention. One may be a fine catcher of your game sphere, but if the eye is not turned as this sphere is tossed then perchance it will pass the entity by. If it turned its eyes upon the sphere, catching would be easy. In the case of Wanderers which seek to recapitulate the degree of adeptness which each had acquired previous to this life experience, we may note that even after the forgetting process has been penetrated there is still the yellow activated body which does not respond as does the adept which is of a green- or blue-ray activated body. Thusly, you may see the inevitability of frustrations and confusion due to the inherent difficulties of manipulating the finer forces of consciousness through the chemical apparatus of the yellow-ray activated body.

Quote:Book 3, session 75

Questioner: You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is. Will you explain and expand more upon that statement?

Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator. The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self, gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work. The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being. As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the one infinite Creator.

I refer to my first post..

"The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work."

The adept can be loosely defined as one who does less seeking or no seeking, since they are now working with indigo ray more and more consciously...indigo ray being the center of faith. Using their faculty of imagination to do balancing work and magical work (magic = working with the unmanifested self as Ra puts it) as well. This all ties into tapping into intelligent infinity, to then use intelligent energy for the magical workings or to simply rest in the state of unity as we can perceive such state to be since we are still distorted by out physical bodies. I would imagine tapping into intelligent infinity while living in the metaphysical realms would be a much more "infinite" feeling experience.

One can say that, but the heart of the matter may have something more to do with the quality of your own choices moment to moment. These are what influence the tuning of your own instrument, no?

"Where is the love in this moment?"

Alleviating energy blockages allows greater flow, yet mere flow is not particularly beautiful.

Perhaps deeper personality and harmonizing of the self are references to the painstaking process of devotedly tending to the garden of one's unruly, randomized energetic impulses? Perhaps beauty is the hard earned fruit of dedicated cultivating, weeding, tending, cleaning, guiding, etc.?


Pity it's such a lonely business...not to mention unbearable at times.

On the other hand, what could be a better gift to offer back to the Creatrix?

(10-05-2010, 01:45 PM)Shemaya Wrote: I agree, peregrine, "mere flow is not particularly beautiful". There is so much value in the beauty of the garden, and the subtle ways that it can be appreciated. I think maybe it's the deeper personality that offers these subtleties. The deeper personality expresses certain colors and textures and design, and scents, and choice in the plantings of the garden. In that way the garden is a unique creation.

(10-05-2010, 01:17 PM)Turtle Wrote: Well sure, but "the heart of the matter" implies there is a certain "matter" to be worked with or contemplated by an individual. If so, then you are speaking more about something with which an individual is striving to balance in their being. This would have no bearing on the perspective of an Infinite Creator who is looking at all of infinity as equally worthy parts of it's whole, all treasured and adored by Infinite Creator. See the distinction?

Quote:Ra: I am Ra. The penetration of the veil may be seen to begin to have its
roots in the gestation of green-ray activity, that all-compassionate love
which demands no return. If this path is followed the higher energy centers
shall be activated and crystallized until the adept is born. Within the adept
is the potential for dismantling the veil to a greater or lesser extent that all
may be seen again as one. The other-self is primary catalyst in this particular
path to the piercing of the veil, if you would call it that.

Quote:To the disciplined entity, all things are open and free. The discipline which opens the universes opens also the gateways to evolution. The difference is that of choosing either to hitchhike to a place where beauty may be seen or to walk, step by step, independent and free in this independence to praise the strength to walk and the opportunity for the awareness of beauty.

The hitchhiker, instead, is distracted by conversation and the vagaries of the road and, dependent upon the whims of others, is concerned to make the appointment in time. The hitchhiker sees the same beauty but has not prepared itself for the establishment, in the roots of mind, of the experience.

Quote:The three aspects of the magical personality, power, love, and wisdom, are so called in order that attention be paid to each aspect in developing the basic tool of the adept; that is, its self. It is by no means a personality of three aspects. It is a being of unity, a being of sixth density, and equivalent to what you call your Higher Self and at the same time is a personality enormously rich in variety of experience and subtlety of emotion.

Quote:If these are studied there comes the moment when the deep threnodies and joyful ditties of the deep mind can successfully be brought forward to intensify, articulate, and heighten some aspect of the magical personality.

Quote:Book 3, session 52

Questioner: ...Is there then, from the point of view of an individual who wishes to follow the service-to-others path, anything of importance other than disciplines of personality, knowledge of self, and strengthening of will?

Ra: I am Ra. This is technique. This is not the heart. Let us examine the heart of evolution.

Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching.

In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching.

In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization.

Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit. The second-ranking lessons are learn/taught in meditation and in service. At some point the mind/body/spirit complex is so smoothly activated and balanced by these central thoughts or distortions that the techniques you have mentioned become quite significant. However, the universe, its mystery unbroken, is one. Always begin and end in the Creator, not in technique.

My first point I would like to share is that inner balance does not necessarily mean that all of your chakras are completely unblocked...

Quote:Next point...the influences that we are not aware of, and how much impact they have upon our magical workings, as well as our day to day life. The impact of the outside world becomes negligible it seems, the closer you come to true inner balance.

(12-29-2010, 06:20 AM)unity100 Wrote: that may be so. since almost a lot of people are quite comfortable and 'balanced' when they are in solitude, meditating. but, when they go out to interact with the other entities, things change.

the balanced is in quotes in above, because, it is also easily suggestible that the balance of an entity is actually the balance it manifests at any given time, so, in interactions with other entities we can see the extent of that balance, as an indicator. it is easy to remain in a seemingly greater balance when in solitude.

but there are also societal considerations. the conditions the entity is in, living in, or going through, may have factors that offset its balance. especially in our modern society, and especially in cities.

so, apparently the conditions the entity is in, affects a lot. there is only so much an entity can offset with its own balance, and will. basically, you cannot drink the entire sea, or sweep away an entire desert.

(12-29-2010, 07:04 AM)Turtle Wrote: Definitely. This is exactly what I experience in my daily routine. I find that it is most efficient to attempt to re-balance my emotions and thoughts during any circumstance/catalyst, instead of waiting to process it later within myself. I say more efficient because I find that when attempting to do it right then and there, I can more readily be of service to the other self who triggered the change, with a finer balance of wisdom and love, and help them just as much as I help myself through my inner balancing efforts. So in short, attempting to stay balanced during catalyst, or re-balance during catalyst, I find that I am accomplishing outer work by helping my other self, as well as the precious inner work which is my focus.

When you say "manifested various faculties," do you mean the magical workings of one's self, affecting his reality as well other's reality? If so, yes, our environments and the people around us definitely have their effect. I am biased towards the concept of "going with the flow" as opposed to trying to direct my will in any way to affect reality for myself and others, for a few reasons.

Quote:1. The veil, and this yellow-ray body we inhabit compounds the difficulty of achieving results that can be seen to be a direct effect of my focusing of will. Also, in the few times I tried to use my will to affect reality, I find the results that echo back to me in physical reality to be so different from what I expected, that I have come to the conclusion that it is totally unwise for me to pursue this.

(12-29-2010, 06:20 AM)unity100 Wrote: various faculties as in adept faculties, like healing, levitation, 'miracles', buddha being etc etc.

therefore, there would occur little to none cases of free will violation.

(12-30-2010, 04:16 PM)Turtle Wrote: I believe this is why Ra said there is great danger in the use of the will as the seeker becomes the adept, mainly because we are very confused beings on this planet, so obviously cut-off from higher understandings of what our own choices and intentions are doing to the rest of reality. The veil may be getting thinner and all that jazz, but it is not nearly enough for me to feel comfortable in focusing my intent towards ANY given situation. I find much more harmonious results when I focus on my inner balance, not my direction of will...but then, should I be surprised?

Another way to look at it surely. How about the perspective that all of the universe is truly contained within the infinite creator who is aware of all of this universe existing as part of itself, inwardly. Many ways to look at creation, and each vantage point changes things. For any creation or universe to exist, the integrated unity of all must separate from itself, therefore unbalancing it's parts to use as metaphysical lego's. Oh what fun!

(12-30-2010, 05:21 PM)Turtle Wrote: @ ExperienceYou & zenmaster, I am speaking of use of the will as in using it like a force. Not as in making a choice which is more of a subtle turning of your attention to another energy center.
