Seven Bodies: Ra vs. Traditional Esoteric Teachings

[anagogy]

Thanks for your reply anagogy. Where did you get this conclusion from (49 bodies)?

Just to be clear, I am not saying all 49 bodies are 'active'. Many are in 'potentiation'. For example, we don't have activated higher density bodies of course. Except to some small extent of (density 4 subdensity 1) in dual activated beings. Just as you have organs within organs and yet more structures within those structures down to the substratum of DNA, you have bodies within bodies. Subplanes within subplanes within subplanes.

I got the idea from deeply meditating on what Ra said. After enough meditation, the light was strong enough I could see between the cracks in Ra's words, and the picture was somewhat more illuminated. It may evolve in time. Enough sincere meditation on anything will reveal the hidden characteristics. You walk the same path a hundred times, you will notice far more details than the one that walks it a few times.

The self is always forming a reality around itself, because an ego, or identity, is the first primal division. If you presume a particular 'inner', it necessarily, and reflexively produces an 'outer', and the self straddles the divide between the two realms which are ultimately inversionary reflections of one another. The inner becomes the spirit and the outer becomes the body and mind becomes that self, that identified with the separation, that straddles the divide between those potentiated forces.

I think understand. The red ray is the body of the "matter", foundation. But in fourth density the "main" body is the astral. Is there yet a subtle astral body at this point?

Ra said that some groups 'called' it the astral body, some others 'called' it the etheric body. But if you read the section of the Ra material where they ask what the 'physical' version of the 4th density body is like, the description is VERY similar to what they described there ('a lighter body packed more densely with life'). Also, they said it was that body that was visible during a seance when 'ectoplasm' (a finer matter) is produced. Past occultists probably didn't have a good name for that body beyond calling it the astral body. When I read old occult literature I often see more confusion that clarity.

Another clue is when they spoke of the devachanic bodies and said: "There are many other names for this body especially in your so-called Indian Sutras or writings, for there are those among these peoples which have explored these regions and understand the various types of devachanic bodies. There are many, many types of bodies in each density, much like your own."

This indicates to me they are referring to physical bodies again. For the inner spiritual bodies are far more malleable than the outer ones. It is like the wave and the particle. The tangible bodies, by their very nature, must becomes more 'collapsed' and 'specific'. The variety is thus, less malleable, and more general. 'Wave-like'.
