Let's say that spiritual development is the cake. Physical development is the flour; emotional development is the sugar; and mental development is the butter. The flour, sugar, and butter get transformed when you bake them together, and the result is the cake—spiritual development.
I can't see separation of these things. To me, it's all important and as we all are presumably part of the OIC, then all aspects of self are part of the whole self which is part of the OIC.
What is problematic to me is the idea that "we are spirit not the body" mindset. We are both. We are mind, body, spirit, as is reflected in the Archetypes. The body is finite and short-lived, but no less important in this reality than the other aspects of self. The attitude toward the body and how it is cared for cannot be brushed aside; I think it matters to spiritual development. The bodies of all entities in this reality matter, and how we interact with them. If we don't honor our bodies, minds, and emotions, there are consequences which must be dealt with. They may be seen as fleeting in the great scheme of things, but the attitude one has for even the small things is part of the whole consciousness and evolution of spirit.
I do get what you are saying SF. I can imagine being a discarnate entity, looking down at 3D, seeing us all running around here in the maelstrom. While the bigger picture is out there, infinite and awesome. And the path wihich might be compared to a lightyear for the sake of a thought experiment, of which we can see only a few feet, would loom so much more important, and the few feet we see be such a tiny part of it. But it matters a lot what we do here:
Quote:76.16 ▶ Questioner: Third density, then, it appears, is, compared to the rest of the densities, all of them, nothing but a uniquely short period of what we consider to be time and is then for the purpose of this choice.
Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. This is precisely correct. The prelude to choice must encompass the laying of the foundation, the establishment of the illusion and the viability of that which can be made spiritually viable. The remainder of the densities is continuous refining of the choice. This also is greatly lengthened, as you would use the term. The choice is, as you put it, the work of a moment but is the axis upon which the creation turns.
