Great Way of the Spirit

[Jade]

My interpretation is subtly different than yours, I'm not sure if it matters much.

I see the female as the subconscious mind (High Priestess) and the male is the conscious mind (Magician). The fact that his body has become an "instrument" implies that he has "tuned" the body with the work of the (already tuned) conscious mind (potentiator of the body) - as Ra says that one must initiate and understand the mind before one can initiate the body.

To me the implication is that the subconscious mind/intelligent infinity/the higher self is able to "play" the tuned incarnate conscious mind like an instrument, performing whatever songs and motifs are necessary in the moment - joy, sadness, frustration, whatever the appropriate emotion is, he (conscious mind) is ready for her (subconscious mind) to play it. This way they are working in harmony in the manifest realms. This is what is referred to as "doing the will of the Creator", which is usually opposed to what we think of as "free will" - the will to do what we want, Creator be damned.

Ra uses "instrument" to refer to Carla almost exclusively. They use this analogy in other ways, as well. For instance, the octaves are musical. Anyway, I think this quote says what I think the Great Way is about:

54.16 ▶ Questioner: Let me make an analogy that I have just thought of. A seven-stringed musical instrument may be played by deflecting each string [a] full deflection and releasing it and getting a note. Or, once the strings are capable of being deflected through their full deflection (producing a note), instead of producing the notes this way taking the individual creative personality and deflecting each the proper amount in proper sequence to produce the music. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. In the balanced individual the energies lie waiting for the hand of the Creator to pluck harmony.

If an instrument has 7 strings, and only 3 are available, the music that the Creator is able to play is going to be off. It can still play, but "the disharmony jangles the sensitive":

4.6 ▶ Questioner: Is the large pyramid at Giza still usable for this purpose, or is it no longer functioning?

Ra: I am Ra. That, like many other pyramid structures, is like the piano out of tune. It, as this instrument would express, plays the tune but, oh, so poorly. The disharmony jangles the sensitive. Only the ghost of the streaming still remains due to the shifting of the streaming points which is in turn due to the shifting electromagnetic field of your planet; due also to the discordant vibratory complexes of those who have used the initiatory and healing place for less compassionate purposes.

Here is more expansion on that analogy:

54.6 ▶ Questioner: What I meant was that a mind/body/spirit complex then can have a body activated that is one of these seven rays. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct in the same sense as it is correct to state that any one may play a complex instrument which develops an euphonious harmonic vibration complex such as your piano and can play this so well that it might offer concerts to the public, as you would say. In other words, although it is true that each true-color vehicle is available potentially there is skill and discipline needed in order to avail the self of the more advanced or lighter vehicles.
