There's confusion about the term "soul"
I'm familiar with the terms "mind/body/spirit complex" when describing an entity of third density or an entity of a higher density. In my understanding you are/have a mind, a body, and a spirit in an interconnected setup; in the Ra Material, this interconnection of your being is known as the mind/body/spirit complex. I have gotten the two terms "spirit" and "soul" mixed up before, and I'm wondering if you will accept that these terms hold very similar definitions in the sense that they are a part of your being; if you'll accept this, then I'll ask that you also please accept the use of the word "spirit" instead of "soul" to see the concepts retain the familiar terminology.
The {soul/spirit[x]} is not an entity, much like your mind is not an entity. Any one of those are components. You are an entity due to your mind, body, and spirit being a single, individual "complex" as Ra puts it. You may experience, for the most part, both the nature of the second and third density which are mostly involved with the chemical body and the individual/social perspective interwoven in the individual units/bodies of chemical creatures.
The nature by which the densities are interwoven to you or I, or anyone else, is a matter of the nature of the energy centers.
Second, we have the consciousness or the conscious mind. Third, to be more specific, the conscious mind of an individual, makes choices. When you are conscious, you're basically awake -- not taking a nap or being hypnotized or being "somewhere else" while your body is inactive/active. While conscious you make choices, do things...as I've understood your perspective, another way to phrase it would be like your mind and body going through the motions of deterministic cause-and-effect while the soul is actually able to experience this world. The conscious mind seems separated from the subconscious mind, and these both may be divisions of the mind which composes your complex beingness.
Still, with the Veil of third density in effect, you are limited to the "conscious mind" and it's confusion, whereas prior to the veil, you would have had conscious awareness and use of the "subconscious mind" as well.
Fourth:
The soul or spirit does not make the pre-incarnative choices. The entity who had been incarnate and who has consequently gone through the process of death, will have the mind, spirit, and consciousness (not body) moved from the unusable, dead body onto a different lighter body. The lighter body, if I recall correctly, would be the indigo body, or that one which is associated with the indigo-ray energy center/pineal, "third-eye" chakra. So this indigo body, the form-maker body as Ra calls, is what would then host your mind and body, and consequently your consciousness too when your third density body (the one you wrap in clothing) has failed or lost all functioning.
Fifth:
In my understanding, based on the Ra Material (and to a far lesser extent some other material), the spirit is like a channel or a shuttle to "intelligent infinity"; but in a different way of looking at it, the spirit is something with which you may consciously re-connect...or rather, inhabit, in order to reconnect...to the creator or the creator's intelligent infinity. Correct me if I'm wrong about the spirit being a shuttle.
The gateway to intelligent infinity also happens to be the indigo-ray energy center, but this might be a trivial point.
Something worth noting, however, is that the chemical creature is inspirited upon graduating second-density. Being inspirited it is given, among a spirit of course, the remaining energy centers in a third density body; those remaining four energy centers (including the yellow-ray energy center/solar plexus chakra) are awaiting activation, except the yellow-ray or third energy center which is the primarily active energy center for the new third-density entity. So doing the math, three energy centers: the green-ray, blue-ray, and indigo-ray, may be activated and I believe they are each activated when a service-to-self or service-to-others entity has polarized to the extent of harvestability. If service-to-self (negative polarity) , the pattern of activation of energy centers is red, orange, yellow, and skipping to indigo to penetrate intelligent infinity. If service-to-others (positive polarity), the pattern is a complete activation of each energy center to the same end of penetrating intelligent infinity. Upon that feat, the entity may choose to stay or leave but is now harvestable fourth density, for the appropriate polarity of the entity.
Sixth:
The entity of third-density learns through absorbing experience. I translate that into examining your desires sincerely, reflecting on experiences, doing what you must do with your own judgement, facing experience, forgiving, loving; for the positive path, at least. For the negative path, the same third-density entity may learn to separate itself from itself, oneself from others, and use its experience to control others and itself. Each, I believe, will have a level of discipline involved when polarization grows stronger. The spirit, or even (if you've heard of it) the "Oversoul", does not learn anymore than you do while you are alive and in this world. This, and everything else, is the experience. Exercise will at your own discernment (meaning: do what you will, for your reasons), exercise judgement at your own will (trying to be clever here by switching the words around). In Ra's understanding, one's attempted understanding of the Law of One will greatly accelerate positive polarity. Either way, the so-called Great Veil experiment was already meant to do that. Everything you are, everything you have in you -- it is you, what now? We have each other also. What now?
Seventh:
I should've mentioned this one earlier, but I forgot. If scientific determinism would take all material existence into account, what's stopping it from taking the physical and metaphysical into account, or things beyond physical/metaphysical? Either way, I believe that what I posted earlier challenges that notion pretty well.
"What effect does the 'heart/essence/energetic signature' of an entity have during their physical incarnation?"
From what I read and understood earlier in the thread, I see it as something you discover in yourself after enough experience of yourself 'distilling' or absorbing, understanding, etc. the very experience you've received thus far. Which, by the way, is unique to you. Any effect produced by your essence which, being a part of your third-density self, is thus displayed in the physical (this implies that not everything you do always has a noticeable effect in 'the physical') would be bound to the flow of scientific determinism. In other words, your energy signature will inevitably move things in some way, but if you want look closely to how it moves you and then do your guesswork from there. Also, I seem to recall an idea in the Ra Material of lightening the planetary consciousness with one's self, this very likely being related to what you're asking about. If so, the effect is likely that your heart/essence opens a bit of love which lightens up the planetary consciousness...I barely have a clue what that means at this time.
My opinion on scientific determinism is that you get what you make, first of all. Second of all, if you're bound by predetermined outcomes, there is still always a potential for harvest in any chemical body of any incarnation. So there must also be a potential for you or anyone in this incarnation. Say, adjusting the right bodily chemicals to a natural equilibrium, but doing this based on your sincerest experiences, judgements, choices, reflections, conscious understanding of yourself; moving onto the work in the yellow-ray energy center thereafter; this, the activation and balancing of energy centers, seems to be a good direction if you want to take your destiny and steer it toward harvestability. You know, if that's what you're looking for *hint hint*.
Eighth:
"since I don't think that the metaphysical consciousness/experience can effect brain states, but does Ra ever explain the effect of the traits of the entity/soul during the physical incarnation?"
Uhmm...not that I recall. These effects, as I've presumed, are more like (a) dormancy and an (b) interconnectedness with the body/mind which basically inspirits the body/mind, gives it life, or will, and you are your own spirit at this point...with his/her own incarnational objectives, karmic patterns, wants, circumstance, etc. Reminder that...well, according the Ra Material, the main lesson of this density is love, and third-density incarnates may mess up every now and then due to their free-will, acquire karma and reincarnations, and thus from the confusion one may then have to learn what one was so confused/unaware about; all this inclined towards love, the lesson of the lifetime; no groundhog day scenario, I believe. Lessons learned are lessons learned. Lessons neglected are not wisely done so, since they are lessons not exempt for any third density, but established for every third-density entity.

I think I'm done for now, at least till I get some rest. I don't wanna revise right now, there may be incomplete chunks of text or whatever.
