Continuing a re-read of the material with an angle for creating a study group. Any thoughts or ideas about these things would be very useful! Not looking for objective interpretations or a debate, but rather a range of perspectives that will add to my own understanding. If possible, please use the "View Source" function (the button to the far right on the toolbar) and copy+paste each point into it's own quote tags.
Ra compares the evolution of our understanding of purity to "the streamings revolving" – does this imply that this evolution to a more enlightened view of purity was a natural progression, as inevitable as the revolution of streamings? Or was this more of an evolution of our global society and culture to a more enlightened view?
Later Ra says that they are not limited by Carla’s vocabulary, but here they seem to imply that her vocabulary is essential for relaying concepts. How can this inconsistency be reconciled?
What does this statement mean?
Does this imply that at other times (earlier in the cycles, in different densities, etc.) the “streamings reaching our planet” would involve a different type of discipline in how we use the body?
What exactly is Ra referring to with "natural functions of the body"?
What exactly are “the disciplines of understanding,” in concept?
Carla lost a lot of weight throughout the contact, supposedly because of this physical material used to speak. What exactly is the mechanism behind Ra using this material to speak?
Quote:However, the streamings from the universe were, at the time we attempted to aid this planet, those which required a certain understanding of purity. This understanding has, as the streamings revolve and all things evolve, changed to a more enlightened view of purity. Thus, there are those among your people at this time whose purity is already one with intelligent infinity. Without the use of structures, healer/patient can gain healing.

Quote:I can restate that in many ways, given this instrument’s knowledge of your vibratory sound complexes.

Quote:those whose life does not equal their work
What does this statement mean?
Quote:In the streamings reaching your planet at this time, these understandings and disciplines have to do with the balance between love and wisdom in the use of the body in its natural functions.

Quote: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.

Quote:exercise the disciplines of understanding
What exactly are “the disciplines of understanding,” in concept?
Quote:this due to the physical material which we use to speak.
