*how* is one to be Harvested?!

[Ankh]

There is a difference between consciousness and the spirit complex, according to the Ra material.

6.14 ... The spirit complex of each harvested entity moves along the line of light until the light grows too glaring, at which time the entity stops.

The consciousness, then, without seeing any boundaries or partitions in this light, is asked to walk along the path of light. When the entity gets to the place where the light is too much to bear, then that entity stops.

Why does Q'uo speak of consciousness taking the "steps of light" and Ra speak of the spirit complex taking these? Did anyone else notice it?
