Compared to the current strata of thinking, both parties seem to be Primordial and not current, (yet), the information they acquired at the time was phenomenal. Their teachings and philosophy is. (indirectly), related to current day thinking. In the writings of Madam Blavatsky, there are indirect connotations to Ra and Higher Beings, (implying otherworldly). Has anyone read Isis Unveiled" or the "Secret Doctrine". Highly recommended reading. There are more things in Heaven and Earth than you realize. Once again, everything is connected, (is it not). Don't look at the obvious, but the sublime. The God(s) work in mysterious ways?
I have read Isis Unveiled, many years ago. There were two volumes—theology (I think) and science. Someone (I always lend out books to whomever) borrowed my copies and I never got them back.
I read one of the Theosophical Society's books I found at the library before I got the Isis Unveiled two-book set. I was walking down an aisle and a thin book was sticking out. So I checked it out. I remember thinking there was a lot of interesting stuff in it, and got Isis Unveiled as a result. A dear neighbor who passed away several years ago had a spiritualist church in Phoenix for decades. She used to reference Alice Bailey all the time, and she was the person who bequeathed to me an original copy of the Ra Material..
The mind is a many layered part of us. No matter how much we think we know, there is always more to be discovered. And of course it then goes way beyond the mind—it has to. One can't look at the Hubble photo of billions of galaxies alone, even as an empirical scientist, and not realize how vast, how mysterious, and how unfathomable from out point of view existence is.
