I have often wondered about this following passage, and one of the words used. Here is the section:
now, Ra says that they found a 'match' for their color chip in the group of Don, Carla, and Jim; who as a group, represented the qualities of love, wisdom and power to an archetypal level, which was a further elaboration elsewhere in the material.
My question is about the word 'individual' used in the above quote. Could a single individual, with enough purity, and encapsulating the necessary qualities to the degree necessary, could they have matched the color chip purely on their own?
in the end, though, I think it is somewhat of a moot point; as regardless of how one reads that passage, the takeaway is that the 'matching' was a rare event, and that few came up to scratch for 'any chance of enduring'.
To act as a counter to the idea of a single individual working alone for positive ends, Ra also had this to say on an unrelated matter:
we did have the shining examples (as known examples) of Jesus and the Buddha attaining heights of understanding and manifestation that few others could reach. But these two also shared their work, and were not 'single' and 'alone' after reaching the peaks of consciousness.
Quote:71.21 Questioner: When you say you searched for this group what do you mean? What was your process of search? I ask this question to understand more the illusion of time and space.
Ra: I am Ra. Consider the process of one who sees the spectrograph of some complex of elements. It is a complex paint sample, let us say for ease of description. We of Ra knew the needed elements for communication which had any chance of enduring. We compared our color chip to many individuals and groups over a long span of your time. Your spectrograph matches our sample.
In response to your desire to see the relationship betwixt space/time and time/space, may we say that we conducted this search in time/space, for in this illusion one may quite readily see entities as vibratory complexes and groups as harmonics within vibratory complexes.

Quote:42.18 Questioner: Then in attempting to reproduce this experience would I then best follow practices for the Order of the Golden Dawn in reproducing this?
Ra: I am Ra. To attempt to reproduce an initiatory experience is to move, shall we say, backwards. However, the practice of this form of service to others is appropriate in your case working with your associates.
It is not well for positively polarized entities to work singly.
The reasons for this are obvious.
