Of course - Ra's words are as they are, and it's your own choice what you do with them.
My own personal opinion? People vastly over-estimate their spiritual capabilities, and don't want to hear a counter-opinion as to their true level of development. This applies most poignantly to people who work individually, and don't get ongoing feedback as to what they are 'doing'.
Quote:42.18 Questioner: Then in attempting to reproduce this experience would I then best follow practices for the Order of the Golden Dawn in reproducing this?
Ra: I am Ra. To attempt to reproduce an initiatory experience is to move, shall we say, backwards. However, the practice of this form of service to others is appropriate in your case working with your associates. It is not well for positively polarized entities to work singly. The reasons for this are obvious.
Quote:90.29 Questioner: That’s OK. I don’t think that was that good a question anyway.
Now, when Ra initially planned for helping the Egyptians with their evolution, what was the most, or the primary concept, and also secondary and tertiary if you can name those, that Ra wished to impart to the Egyptians? In other words, what was Ra’s training plan or schedule for making the Egyptians aware of what was necessary for their evolution?
Ra: I am Ra. We came to your peoples to enunciate the Law of One. We wished to impress upon those who wished to learn of unity that in unity all paradoxes are resolved; all that is broken is healed; all that is forgotten is brought to light. We had no teaching plan, as you have called it, in that our intention when we walked among your peoples was to manifest that which was requested by those learn/teachers to which we had come.
We are aware that this particular line of querying; that is, the nature and architecture of the archetypical mind, has caused the questioner to attempt, to its own mind unsuccessfully, to determine the relative importance of these concepts. We cannot learn/teach for any, nor would we take this opportunity from the questioner. However, we shall comment.
The adept has already worked much, not only within the red, orange, yellow, and green energy centers, but already in the opening of blue and indigo. Up through this point the archetypes function as the great base or plinth of a builded structure or statue keeping the mind complex viable, level, and available as a resource whenever it may be evoked.
There is a point at which the adept takes up its work. This is the point at which a clear and conscious consideration of the archetypical mind is useful.
Not sure what you mean by 'spiritual capabilities', if I get your jist I agree. Agree, living consciously has a built in feedback. Regarding working alone, in a ritual, not a good idea (Exception of self transformations). Not, however, as a general rule of spiritual development.
The last bolded quote, 'a point at which the adept takes up its work', useful. Due to a mess of emotions clarity is impossible at the archetypal level to the beginner.
May as well, OP follow the training program laid out and practice the healing exercises.
