Hello and good morning. I hope this post finds you well!
This discussion is probably redundant but I did do a search and didn't find quite what I was looking for.
I am revisiting the Ra material and am interested in trying to understand it further. Ra mentions sleep a few times and I have provided some of the passages below that I have questions about.
It seems like Ra uses the word "sleep" interchangeably between spiritual and physical rest. I don't think we have a word for the spiritual rest that Ra speaks about. The closest word we have is "rejuvenation" but I'm not sure that really covers all the aspect of the purpose of spiritual sleep. Does anyone know of a better word for it?
One particular sentence, "Service is only possible to the extent it is requested," is essential to understand waking those who sleep. There is no way to "wake" someone up if they are not seeking to expand their awareness.
Is perfect sleep a state where our physical bodies and spiritual bodies are both at rest? That might be an over simplification. If both the body and the spirit are perfectly at rest, is that "perfect sleep?" And if so, can we obtain that now?
Is that how a body can be kept in stasis?
It seems as though Ra mentions several purposes for spiritual sleep, not only for rejuvenation, but also as a chrysalis period between densities that acts as sort of a buffer. The buffer is important because it causes a forgetting which allows the entity to truly learn the lessons of 3rd density. Through struggle we learn.

Quote:89.30 ▶ Questioner: Would Ra’s attitude toward the same unharvestable entities be different at this nexus than at the time of harvest of third density?
Ra: I am Ra. Not substantially. To those who wish to sleep we could only offer those comforts designed for the sleeping. Service is only possible to the extent it is requested. We were ready to serve in whatever way we could. This still seems satisfactory as a means of dealing with other-selves in third density. It is our feeling that to be each entity which one attempts to serve is to simplify the grasp of what service is necessary or possible.

Quote:Ra: I am Ra. There are several. However, their uses are limited. The use of the resonating chamber position is one which challenges the ability of an adept to face the self. This is one type of mental test which may be used. It is powerful and quite dangerous.
The outer shell of the pyramid shape contains small vortices of light energy which, in the hands of capable crystallized beings, are useful for various subtle workings upon the healing of invisible bodies affecting the physical body.
Other of these places are those wherein perfect sleep may be obtained and age reversed. These characteristics are not important.

Quote:21.9 ▶ Questioner: Now, when the 75,000-year cycle started, [the] life span was approximately nine hundred years, average. What was the process and scheduling of— mechanism, shall I say, of reincarnation at that time, and how did the time in between incarnations into third-density physical apply to the growth of the mind/body/spirit complex?
Ra: I am Ra. This query is more complex than most. We shall begin. The incarnation pattern of the beginning third-density mind/body/spirit complex begins in darkness, for you may think or consider of your density as one of, as you may say, a sleep and a forgetting. This is the only plane of forgetting. It is necessary for the third-density entity to forget so that the mechanisms of confusion or free will may operate upon the newly individuated consciousness complex.
