what is initiation of the body?

[Spaced]

One thing that stood out to me from the quote you posted in the original post is the way Ra refers to the initiation of the body coming after the initiation of the mind. One would assume that since these things come in threes the next initiation would be the initiation of the spirit, and in fact that is backed up in the next session.


What stood out to me is the similarity between these initiations and the Transformation archetypes from the later books in the Ra material. The transformation of the mind is represented by The Lovers, the transformation of the body is Death and the transformation of the spirit is Judgement.

Here's what Ra has to say about the Death archetype:

81.13 Questioner: [We have] already discussed the Significator, so I will skip to number thirteen. Transformation of Body is called Death, for with death the body is transformed to a higher-vibration body for additional learning. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct and may be seen to be additionally correct in that each moment and certainly each diurnal period of the bodily incarnation offers death and rebirth to one which is attempting to use the catalyst which is offered it.
