Ra 30.2 - Breakdown of the Mind Body Spirit

[Parsons]

Questioner: Thank you. Would you define mind, body, and spirit separately?

Ra: I am Ra. These terms are all simplistic descriptive terms which equal a complex of energy focuses; the body, as you call it, being the material of the density which you experience at a given space/time or time/space; this complex of materials being available for distortions of what you would call physical manifestation.

Ra defines the body as the physical manifestation/material in which we experience the density we are in.

The mind is a complex which reflects the inpourings of the spirit and the up-pourings of the body complex.

Pretty self-explanatory so far

It contains what you know as feelings, emotions, and intellectual thoughts in its more conscious complexities.

I have heard many refer to an "emotional" body or that emotions come from Spirit. This line seems to imply that feelings/emotions are contained within the mind.

Moving further down the tree of mind we see the intuition which is of the nature of the mind more in contact or in tune with the total beingness complex.

This line is what really fascinated and spurred me to create this thread. I have been trying to figure out what exactly the faculty of intuition is. On the MBTI, it appears I pretty heavily take in information via Intuition rather than my 5 physical senses. It always seemed to be information being funneled down from some "higher" source. Ra defines intuition as being 'the mind being more in contact or in tune with the total beingness complex'. I can guess at what "total beingness complex" is, but I wouldn't be able to know for sure without inquiring further. My first inclination would be guess it is the higher self of our higher self, but it could simply be another way of saying our higher self.

Also, since zenmaster seemed to have a different view of what intuition is, I would have loved to discussed this quote with him. Oh well /shrug

Moving down to the roots of mind we find the progression of consciousness which gradually turns from the personal to the racial memory, to the cosmic influxes, and thus becomes a direct contactor of that shuttle which we call the spirit complex.

This line begins to hint that the mind/body/spirit complex is actually a gradient and not separate concepts. Our mind is connected via a gradient to the racial memory (perhaps what some have referred to as the Collective Consciousness?), connected to 'cosmic influxes' (whatever that means), then connected to the spirit complex(described in the next line).

This spirit complex is the channel whereby the inpourings from all of the various universal, planetary, and personal inpourings may be funneled into the roots of consciousness and whereby consciousness may be funneled to the gateway of intelligent infinity through the balanced intelligent energy of body and mind.

If I am following the session and the progression/gradient of the mind/body/spirit complex, it seems that Ra is saying the roots of mind connect to the spirit complex (which is a collection of the universal, planetary and personal inpourings) which are funneled to the roots of consciousness, which is funneled to the gateway of intelligent infinity through the required balanced intelligent energy of the mind and body. Honestly they really start losing with me a bit here, especially how this is worded. I am not sure if the bit about 'balanced intelligent energy' is a correct interpretation.

You will see by this series of definitive statements that mind, body, and spirit are inextricably intertwined and cannot continue, one without the other. Thus we refer to the mind/body/spirit complex rather than attempting to deal with them separately, for the work, shall we say, that you do during your experiences is done through the interaction of these three components, not through any one.

A nice recap by Ra and puts into perspective that this Experience is not merely a product of the mind and the body interacting with a physical universe.
