The 18 day Cycle of Gateway of Magic

[Namaste]

You need a frame of reference, and in my opinion, that can only come from experience. Wisdom.

I think you are confusing what Ra said, regarding the ability to read the violet ray of another to assess adeptness, with working at the level of an adept. Ra said that only the adept is able to work with indigo energies, for example. Seems simple and would be considered a frame of reference.

No confusion brother, Ra mentions the cycles are not relevant for one who has reached a certain level of adeptness - balance.

64.11 Questioner: Am I correct in assuming that whatever magic the adept would perform at this time would be more successful or, shall we say, more to his design than that performed at less opportune times in the cycle?

Ra: I am Ra. This cycle is an helpful tool to the adept but as we said, as the adept becomes more balanced the workings designed will be dependent less and less upon these cycles of opportunity and more and more even in their efficacy.

64.12 Questioner: I have no ability to judge at what point the level of abilities of the adept would be reached to be independent of this cyclical action. Can you give me an indication of what level of “adeptness” that would be necessary in order to be so independent?

Ra: I am Ra. We are fettered from speaking specifically due to this group’s work, for to speak would seem to be to judge. However, we may say that you may consider this cycle in the same light as the so-called astrological balances within your group; that is, they are interesting but not critical.

Answering directly would have been an infringement of free will, hence Ra replies with a typically open response, i.e. don't worry about it :¬)
