"Magical ability is the ability to consciously use the so-called unconscious."

I did not say that mind does not function through awareness, just that awareness does not originate in the mind but rather the mind originates in awareness.

And, currently, we have nothing in The Ra Material to engage and compare this with. Only opposing inferences.

There is this though, which sounds to me like it's saying that awareness of mind, body and spirit complexes preceded their use. Of course they all existed in potentiation, but the fact remains that according to Ra the awareness of the efficiency of the m/b/s complex for experience came before their implementation by early logoi.

And I think Don makes a really good point in this one too so I'll bold that as well

78.10 ↥ Questioner: Now, I realize that we are on very difficult ground, you might say, for precise terminology here, since it is totally displaced from our system of coordinates for evaluation in our present system of language.

These early Logoi that formed in the center of the galaxy wished, I assume, to create a system of experience for the One Creator. Did they then start with no previous experience or information about how to do this? This is difficult to ask.

Ra: I am Ra. At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave. About the preceding creation we know as little as we do of the octave to come. However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self.

These tools were of two kinds. Firstly, there was an awareness of the efficiency for experience of mind, body, and spirit. Secondly, there was an awareness of the most efficacious nature or, if you will, significator of mind, body, and spirit. Thirdly, there was the awareness of two aspects of mind, of body, and of spirit that the significator could use to balance all catalyst. You may call these two the matrix and the potentiator.
