There are many places where Ra says something is something and does not explicit it as being its singular identity so that is kind of a moot point.

I don't disagree with the mind being infinite and containing all things, it is of course the perfect reservoir and reflection of the infinite, but I disagree that that is what intelligent infinity is.
Intelligent infinity itself is potential. Intelligent infinity "contains" the potential for all things with proper work.
Does the mind not contain all in potentiation?
How can Intelligent Infinity both "be" potential AND "contain" potential, isn't that redundant? For what purpose would it contain what it is?
Quote: (51.10) The intelligent energy of the mind/body/spirit complex totality draws its existence from intelligent infinity or the Creator. This Creator is to be understood, both in macrocosm and microcosm, to have, as we have said, two natures: the unpotentiated infinity which is intelligent; this is all that there is.
Intelligent Energy is potentiated or activated Intelligent Infinity. The mind indeed contains all and encompasses all potentials, but it is just an interface through which Intelligent Infinity knows itself.
To call the mind intelligent infinity is like saying the design of the wire is the electrical charge when really the wire just enables the charge to manifest itself.
I, personally, do not think that there is only one thing which reflects infinity, so not only does the mind contain all, but so does the body and the spirit. Yet, who can say if the One Thought will forever be the nature of the One? Eternal, yet changing, yet perfect, yet imperfect, the same and not the same. I do not hold my breath with expectation for the Infinity of Intelligence to express itself continuously in the same way.
