I find Book IV to be the most challenging. I've tried numerous times to read it from start to finish, but somehow some of the sessions towards the end get skimmed over and not fully absorbed. Anyone else experience this?
So I started this thread, in the hopes that we could study it together. And what happens? I find the same pattern: I try to get it going but it fizzles out.
I would like to personally make a commitment to this thread. I think the study of Book IV is important, because it's not just interesting knowledge about the pyramids, the Cosmos etc. but about the very fabric of our being! What could be more important than understanding our body-mind-spirit complex? And yet, Book IV seems to be the most neglected.
Thus, I hereby commit to reading a little of Book IV, and posting some comment or question, on a regular basis. I cannot promise every day, but I will do my best to keep this thread alive.
Anyone with me?
I'll start with this:
Significator, matrix, potentiator. These terms are used throughout Book IV. Anyone want to offer some definitions?

I'll start with this:
Quote:78.10 Questioner: I realize that we are on very difficult ground, you might say, for precise terminology. It is totally displaced from our system of coordinates for evaluation in our present system of language.
These early Logoi that formed in the center of the galaxy wished, I assume, to create a system of experience for the One Creator. Did they then start with no previous experience or information about how to do this? This is difficult to ask.
Ra: I am Ra. At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave. About the preceding creation, we know as little as we do of the octave to come. However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self.
These tools were of three kinds. Firstly, there was an awareness of the efficiency for experience of mind, body, and spirit. Secondly, there was an awareness of the most efficacious nature or, if you will, significator of mind, body, and spirit. Thirdly, there was the awareness of two aspects of mind, of body, and of spirit that the significator could use to balance all catalyst. You may call these two the matrix and the potentiator.
Significator, matrix, potentiator. These terms are used throughout Book IV. Anyone want to offer some definitions?
