An awakened being is no longer simply living life, but now has more specific function. Because when Ra references the body in the tarot, they refer to it as that which will perform the work of the spirit.
So perhaps in understanding the body in each and every way through detachment, they mean learning to serve without developing a strong bias towards outcome. We serve through the body in a more purified way, channeling undistorted light as best as possible. It moves us around and is that which is used to create and teach.
Maybe this, in regards to detachment, may be of help?
Ra, 47:8 Wrote:The red-ray body is your chemical body. However, it is not the body which you have as clothing in the physical. It is the unconstructed material of the body, the elemental body without form. This basic unformed material body is important to understand for there are healings which may be carried out by the simple understanding of the elements present in the physical vehicle.
EDIT: They go on in that session talking about all the other bodies. So, perhaps what they've meant by detachment is the detachment to your chemical body so that you can get to know all your other bodies, in order to be able to do the work of the adept/initiate?
