law of Squares

[zodekai]

If so, then could the references be to masonry as a "craft" that allows the lightbody of "an entity" to be enclosed
and if masonry measures a man and a man is light then could this be the measure of light presence with a center of gravity of such slingshot like effects?

I'm not sure that Ra is referring to masonry directly, but words are interesting and that's one way to look at it. I definitely think Ra speaks in a highly symbolic way, as words are symbols/mental images. In many instances Ra seems to be making a simple statement, when they have actually left an interpretation to be "seen" with what may be called inner vision.

As a child, I used to lay in bed for long periods of time without being able to fall asleep (wasn't ready for bed), and I would enter into a meditative state where certain visuals would appear. I used to see squares that receded infinitely into the distance.

If you were to take a pyramid and look upwards from the bottom, what would you see? The perimeter of each successive layer forms a square that gets smaller and smaller. The larger always supporting yet containing the whole. The base theoretically never ends, as layers expand outward infinitely, and the same is said of the other direction. It's symbolic of infinity.

A helpful note..

"The other meaning has to do with the same right angle, with its architectural squareness, as the device upon the breast of the actor."

And this..

Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and useable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously see that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking empowers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.

Can you see that Ra is painting the picture of building a pyramid by referencing the cornerstone? It was said that in the tarot, the square represents the material illusion. The first attempt at love represents the cornerstone of the pyramid (unity) we're attempting to "construct", which helps us tap the infinite. As we seek, when we are able to see through illusory boundaries, each realization empowers the previous by squaring the relationship, rather than trying to differentiate and build some kind of structure with unevenness. The power then doubles because unity is recognized.

We're always saying "I'm a square, and everything out there is some kind of odd shape that doesn't fit with my geometry." But we're essentially all the same. As this love builds, our consciousness shifts to a higher level on the pyramid so to speak.

Ra: Let us specify the three spirals of light energy which the pyramid exemplifies. Firstly, the fundamental spiral which is used for study and for healing. Second, the spiral to the apex which is used for building. Thirdly, the spiral spreading from the apex which is used for energizing.

Questioner: I did have a question on what you meant by the “third spiral” and if that is too long I would just ask if there is anything that we can do to make the instrument more comfortable or to improve the contact?

Ra: I am Ra. We may answer briefly. You may query in more detail if you deem it desirable at another session.

If you picture the candle flame, you may see the third spiral.

To me, Ra seems to be saying the third spiral is the creative fire of the infinite. As we become more conscious, we're able to participate in healing by allowing the creative energy to flow through us by way of our very being and interaction with others.

The task is to balance compassion/wisdom.

"Love uses light and has the power to direct light in its distortions."

"The Significator of the Spirit is that living entity which either radiates or absorbs the love and the light of the One Infinite Creator, radiates it to others or absorbs it for the self."

Metaphorically, you could say a pyramid rests upon our breast as it is a device, and how we handle ourselves as we interact with others, determines how we direct that light. Because we are light/energy collectors, which is what a pyramid is, and it's very easy to distort this light through imbalanced interaction.

An overabundance of wisdom is to absorb the light of creation and direct others in a specific fashion because it satisfies our will. Those who have a strong desire to make others see the light and prove them wrong, are unknowingly controlling others by attempting to put them in their place. "The early fifth-density negative entity, if oriented towards maintaining cohesion as a social memory complex, may in its free will determine that the path to wisdom lies in the manipulation in exquisite propriety of all other-selves....These fifth-density entities see the creation as that which shall be put in order."

It seems that the use of wisdom is a very delicate thing. I admittedly have a desire to express wisdom, but I'm realizing it has its place. Rather than absorbing this light, we radiate it through our being by not attempting to control the outer experience.

I think good advice was given when it was said that.."Service is only possible to the extent it is requested."

Yes Icaro, I understand the metaphor. As it has been stated by Ra, the message delivered rests not on historical background as much as philosophical conception and I can appreciate your insight brought to the table. As you mention that the square represents the material illusion this conception is also present in the initiatic ritual referenced in masonry where the candidate is placed in the sarcophagus which ritually represents the square material illusion. The candidate must "die" to the self it once was or perhaps knew itself to be and then be reborn and walk into in the so called "light of day". it is interesting to note that this philosophy shared in the Ra material works on many sublime levels of interpretation and the purpose of the original post was aimed towards expansion of concepts and interconnectedness of the material itself without exclusion to any particular interpretation.
