The Transformation of the Spirit

[ricdaw]

That which you call the Sarcophagus in your system may be seen to be the material world, if you will. This material world is transformed by the spirit into that which is infinite and eternal. The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood. We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the One Infinite Creator at each transformation.

I can't help but sincerely believe that Ra mis-spoke. All of my instincts and all the lessons of the other cards compels me to reverse the words in one sentence:

"That which you call the Sarcophagus in your system may be seen to be the material world, if you will. Spirit is transformed by the material world into that which is infinite and eternal. The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood. We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the One Infinite Creator at each transformation."

We come down here to work on spirit. It is by living life here that we can hone and shine the facets of our diamond spirits. The material world experiences transform the spirit, not the other way around as Ra is quoted.

And the picture then is more literal. Spirit is transformed after repeated lives (see the multiple bodies) and the experiences gained as man, woman and child. The card is REINCARNATION. And through reincarnation we evolve spiritually.
