First-ranking lessons

[Ankh]

Thank you all for your answers.

I think they're referring to light in the sense of the third distortion. All planes of existence in materialization are built out of that light, and the light stems from unity. That's apparently the fundamental learn/teaching of all material planes.

This sounds right, and in that case, i.e. by "light" Ra meant the third distortion in that piece, why is it a fundamental learning or should be a central thought? Do you understand my confusion?

I think that even time/space is an illusion, and hence made out of Light. Thus the metaphysical world is Light.

Interesting that you brought this up, because here again Ra says what is important to learn and what is less:

Since the concepts of space/time, or physics, and time/space, or metaphysics, are mechanical they are not central to the spiritual evolution of the mind/body/spirit complex. The study of love and light is far more productive in its motion towards unity in those entities pondering such concepts.

My understanding is light is wisdom. So love/light is another way of saying compassion/wisdom.

That is also one possible and interesting interpretation of "light" in that Q/A. As I said, I am confused for the moment of what sort of "light" Ra meant in that piece, and I am pondering both this and why it is so fundamental to learn this lesson...
