What they speak of in the above quotes is by memory being aware of the use of various centers in it's own complex, thus finding the way to the gateway. But did they speak of finding the gateway by "becoming empty"?
Oh, that was a mistake my part, now that I look at it. I bundled together the different principles, but Ra told of a different shortcuts than becoming totally "empty" (which was presented with Buddha's case).

I think that it is a percieved (how is this correctly written? My spell checker always says it is wrong...) "shortcut", but in reality it must be an incarnation where it was planned ahead that there is a possibility of a full transformation into pure love and "Creator-likeness" in a journey that only takes place inside one's own mind. It is not something that really gets in our heads usually, as the general consensus is that people who just sit down and meditate all day, all their lives are "crazy". They are not, but few of us do know this.
