[Sacred Fool]

Aside: Referring to another thread and looking at the disparate understandings, this dialogue seems to indicate that Ra didn't even come close to breaking any laws of confusion.


Anyhow, as for my own confused opinion on the above text, the Ra gang appears to be making a point of emphasizing to the questioner (who has a very strong bias towards technical questions) that the heart of the matter, the fundamental stuff of Creation, is this Mystery thing that we cannot even come close to exploring with mentally directed (technical) means. I would say that this is described as "fundamental" because everything else you can imagine will eventually cease to provide catalyst for growth, everything else can be outgrown (given several million years or so), but this other thing is of a different order. Within it is all of elemental Creation and all of Transcendence and all the rest.

My guess is that Ra is suggesting to Don that spirit evolves as its profile becomes closer to that of the central Mystery. At that point, technique can become much more useful.
