Mental Bodies

[third-density-being]

Hello

what are the mental bodies referred to in this quote?
(...)

I've search thoroughly The Law of One and this is the only one place when Ra used term "mental bodies". AS I think of it, RA possess unimaginable understanding/comprehension of "nature of reality" in comparison to Us - yet, He/They is/are trying to express it in Ours, three-dimensional-categories, in an attempt to Teach/Learn".
Therefore Ra's words are immensely "dense" with "information/Knowledge" - I translate it as multi-interpretation characteristic of Ra's Words.

I've looked deeper into larger portion of quote You used in your post, Dear Plenum.
I've colored "corresponding" "symbols complexes" - by that I mean "lines of couple Words/Labels" - but it was necessary in my opinion to underline more of symbolic properties of Our words/labels than actually informative one.

73.22 ▶ Questioner: Could you define this statement “energy transfer between two mind/body/spirit complexes?”

Ra: I am Ra. This will be the last full query of this working.
(...)
In the realm of the mental bodies there are variations of mental energy transferred. This is, again, dependent upon the knowledge sought and the knowledge offered. The most common mental energy transfer is that of the teacher and the pupil. The amount of energy is dependent upon the quality of this offering upon the part of the teacher as regards the purity of the desire to serve and the quality of information offered and, upon the part of the student, the purity of the desire to learn and the quality of the mind vibratory complex which receives knowledge.

Another form of mental energy transfer is that of the listener and the speaker. When the speaker is experiencing mental/emotional complex distortions towards anguish, sorrow, or other mental pain, from what we have said before, you may perhaps garner knowledge of the variations possible in this transfer.

The spiritual energy transfers are at the heart of all energy transfers as a knowledge of self and other-self as Creator is paramount, and this is spiritual work. The varieties of spiritual energy transfer include those things of which we have spoken this day as we spoke upon the subject of the adept.

Are there any brief queries before we leave this working?

Therefore I understand it as "realm of the mental bodies" in which Our Consciousness "plays" many different roles - I guess in some sense it may be compared to an Archetype - a "complex role of Consciousness" with its "honors and duties" - as for example "student" and "teacher" or "speaker" and "listener". In both cases the "body" is obtained by proper "mind/mental configuration" (phrase often used by both Ra and Mr. Don).

This is how I understand expression "mental bodies".

I can get on board with that anagogy

So am I. For "mental transfer" in Our reality to occur, it is Imperative to communicate/vocalize, in order not only to be understood, but fulfilled with such mental act as well.

on a related note, how do you interpret the bolded bit below?

The light body or blue-ray body may be called the devachanic body. There are many other names for this body especially in your so-called Indian Sutras or writings, for there are those among these peoples which have explored these regions and understand the various types of devachanic bodies.

what do they mean by 'various types of devachanic bodies'? Does it mean there are disincarnate beings who just exist solely in one of these blue-ray bodies? (inner plane entities in other words).

the particular phrasing has always thrown me for a loop, and I could do with another interpretation.

I'm not familiar with "devachanic bodies" division/labeling, but I've Google it and I've found this quote:

Before his first death a man consists of four bodies, but when he dies for the first time he takes the first memory-picture with him. Thus on reincarnating for the first time he has not only his four bodies but also this product of his former life. This is the “causal” body. So now he has five bodies: physical, etheric, astral, ego and causal. Once this causal body has made its appearance, it remains, though it was first constituted from the products of previous lives. Now we can understand the difference between individuals. Some of them have lived through many lives and so have added many pages to their Book of Life. They have developed to a high level and possess a rich causal body. Others have been through only a few lives; hence they have gathered fewer fruits and have a less developed causal body.

Based on this quote I understand that "casual body" consists of "body of each life/incarnation" of an Entity. - and therefore may be seen as "many bodies". Terms "high level" and "less developed" may be translated as "amount of casual bodies" - as "Layers" of this one "casual body".

I would like to emphasis that this is my "first interpretation" - I did not look into it too deep, as this area of knowledge is not aligned with my current Seekings.

Best i have in me for You, Dear Plenum
