Holes in the Spirit Field

[Steppingfeet]

Why this is so - that is, why changes made to the biochemistry of the brain by micograms of a particular chemical can yield these sorts of changes to spirit, that which is wholly non-physical (but of course integrated into the indivisible "complex" of self) - is a question I would love to ask.

The spirit is not what is changing, rather it's the pattern that the mind offers for the local actualization of spirit that changes. The more balanced the mind, the higher vibration of spirit that is provided. Crystals can serve as circumstantial balancing aids by "regularizing", and drugs can do so to in a random manner. But in each case, they use what balance had been achieved so far.

You said "the spirit is not what is changing". That doesn't seem entirely clear from Ra's statement, "There are many upon your plane who have a random hole or gateway in their spirit energy field..."

Your position could be correct, I don't know either way, but judging by Ra's word choice here, it stands to reason that the changes rendered are to the "spirit energy field". Ra didn't say, "...a random hole or gateway in the mind complex which relates to the spirit energy field..."

I think that the spirit portion of our tri-part self can and is developed as we evolve through this and other densities.

The only thing to which I ascribe the quality of unchanging-ness is the original intelligent infinity, undifferentiated unity. Though by that point it's beyond all human conception, including categories of change vs. not change. Mystical testimony seems to indicate that that which changes is the illusion, not the infinite and eternal.

While it's evident that psychoactive chemicals like psilocybin and LSD do causes changes in brain chemistry, perhaps it is not the brain/mind alone that renders the hole or gateway in the spirit energy field; perhaps there is a multi-dimensional or time/space component to the physical chemical that acts upon those corresponding multi-dimensional or time/space aspects of the self? Dunno.

Among my fascinations is the question of how and why modifications of the physical vehicle's chemical composition can create changes in consciousness and open new opportunities for understanding/growth. That they do is not in question, but the how/why is.
