Ra 30.2 - Breakdown of the Mind Body Spirit

[anagogy]

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.

Emotions occur in the mind, but they are closely related to intuition, which, as Ra noted, is mind which is more in contact with the "total beingness complex", which I interpret or understand to be the spirit complex. So you can think of emotions as mental components that are closer to spirit than say, regular thoughts for example.

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.

I would agree, in a sense. The higher self, and its higher self (mind/body/spirit totality) in my way of thinking, is the intermediary between pure intelligent infinity, which we might call spirit, or the total beingness complex. You can think of it as the translator between undifferentiated unity, and the individuated distortion of the mind/body/spirit complex.

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

Far be it for me to speak for zenmaster, but, as I recall, he tended to lean towards the view that feelings were inline with what we call "intuition", and that emotions were simply psychological reactions. Personally, I don't see sharp lines between the two, but rather, see emotions and feelings as vibrational interpretations of the overall current focus of thought as it measures up against the higher self focus of thought (which is less distorted, and more lined up with spirit).

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.

Perhaps this quote will make things clearer:

"4.18 ↥ Questioner: I believe I have some idea of the accomplishment— a little idea, anyway, of the accomplishment— [of the] first step. Can you elaborate the steps… the other two steps I am not at all familiar with.

Ra: I am Ra. Imagine the body. Imagine the more dense aspects of the body. Proceed therefrom to the very finest knowledge of energy pathways which revolve and cause the body to be energized. Understand that all natural functions of the body have all aspects from dense to fine, and can be transmuted to what you may call sacramental. This is a brief investigation of the second area.

To speak to the third: imagine, if you will, the function of the magnet. The magnet has two poles. One reaches up. The other goes down. The function of the spirit is to integrate the upreaching yearning of the mind/body energy with the downpouring and streaming of infinite intelligence. This is a brief explication of the third area."
