Potential warning from the unmanifested

[jafar]

85.7 Questioner: What would the difference be?

Ra: I am Ra. If one wishes to have power over an entity it is an aid to know that entity’s name. If one wishes no power over an entity but wishes to collect that entity into the very heart of one’s own being it is well to forget the naming. Both processes are magically viable. Each is polarized in a specific way. It is your choice.

It may be a bit challenging that magical interactions in positive path are more likely to occur with complete strangers rather than with friends and family. At least initially. But at the same time it opens up seeker for the Creator without holding on to familiar images.
So treating strangers as your other selves providing you with great feedback on your spiritual path while you're performing magical work in meditation can be mutually beneficial.

Interesting, in my personal experience "name" is not that important and not knowing 'the name' doesn't mean it's total stranger as well. Beyond the name there is something called 'soul signature' which can be easily detectable to discern whether the 'unit of consciousness' is familiar or not, positive or not.

Encounter with higher self is a good example of that, he/she/it has many names and many avatars/appearances as well. So many that it become practically useless to use it, but the 'soul signature' remain the same, easily recognizable.

Having said that, in relation to 85.7 above I also have an experience where an entity, initially recognized as 'unfamiliar' by me, called me with a specific 'name', the 'name' is not my current avatar's name, I actually never heard of that name before. But when the entity call me with that 'name' it recalls many of my memories and I instantly recognize that entity as not as a stranger at all, and we shared common experience in the 'past' when I was known by that 'name' that he mentioned.
