Hi guys,
I have several questions I want to put to you, 4 in fact, but for the time being I will just submit 2. The others need more consideration in formulating them.
Okay, first up is the topic of knowing our body (actually there are 2 questions within this first question
). How do you interpret this quote from 3.16: "the various functions of the body need understanding and control with detachment"?
When I first came about considering this I wondered if Ra were aiming at the correspondence between our energy centres and glands. The indigo centre relating to the pineal gland being one of the most studied in new age groupings, or at least it seems that way. Then I progressed to thinking about subtle pains within our body that point to a certain energy centre, and therefore hinting at an unobserved distortion or thought pattern. What do you guys think?
The second part involves my belief that I came across an understanding relating to our "elemental body without form" (47.8). I happened across a synchronicity with regards to staying grounded and keeping my aura clean while driving home one evening. I was wondering why I felt lethargic and foggy minded and I suspected it was because in my attempts to remain engaged with my work colleagues, I had compromised my authenticity and beingness. After contemplating this I noticed a temporary road sign advertising a "Bingo" night in a country pub. The sign read "BINGO! Starts tonight". I must say it proved to have quite the placebo effect! I took it literally and as soon as I got home I turned on my tap in the bathroom, cupped my hands underneath it and blessed the water. I really imagined the Creator being present and threw it over my head. I then felt a tingling down my spine (erm, no that was not the water run off!), and felt thoroughly refreshed and grateful afterwards.
Anyway, after this intuited remedy I sought to try and understand this experience via Ra, here is the relevant part of 47.8 that got me thinking.
"The red-ray body is your chemical body. However, it is not the body which you have as clothing in the physical. It is the unconstructed material of the body, the elemental body without form. This basic unformed material body is important to understand for there are healings which may be carried out by the simple understanding of the elements present in the physical vehicle."
Now the context in Dons question was metaphysical, and so I assume Ra's answer was too. H2O is waters chemical identity and the predominant element within our formed body, so my question here is have I grasped the "importance", or am I not paying enough attention to the "However, it is not the body which you have as clothing in the physical"? Further, do you suspect that Ra are referring to the blessing of water, whether it be ingested, or as I did in a cavalier/intuited type of self baptising way, when they use the term "healings"? Beyond these queries, would you care to add anything more than what I have specifically asked?
Sorry about the sub division of a singular enquiry btw
My 2nd question was spawned from the first (this may sound confusing but bare with me because this query has also been subdivided). Going back to session 3.16 Ra use the term "control" in a positive context. I pondered about this and wondered if "management" might be more appropriate? An issue of semantics and context perhaps but the key for the other choice, shall I say, is the term "control". So "control with detachment" sounds contradictory. Your thoughts?
And whats the difference between "Detachment" and "Indifference"?
Thanks and much love to you all (

PS. Just to clarify there are still 2 questions outstanding! (which will most likely be subdivided, also
)
