From seeker to spiritual adept

[Confused]

ACIM has a more buddhist approach where the illusion is depicted as that which is to be overcome, whereas Ra cautions against this.

Jeremy, I think I catch the drift here. It did occur to me as well that Master Ra had a wry sense of practicality, much necessary to navigate ourselves through the treacherous corners of the evolutionary program or design.

92.22 Questioner: I am assuming that she sits between the different colored columns, with the dark one on her left, to indicate at this position an equal opportunity for the potentiation of the mind to be of the negative or positive nature. Would Ra comment on this?

Ra: I am Ra. Although this is correct it is not as perceptive as the notice that the Priestess, as this figure has been called, sits within a structure in which polarity, symbolized as you correctly noted by the light and dark pillars, is an integral and necessary part. The unfed mind has no polarity just as intelligent infinity has none. The nature of the sub-sub-sub-Logos which offers the third-density experience is one of polarity, not by choice but by careful design.

We perceive an unclear statement. The polarity of Potentiator is there not for the Matrix to choose. It is there for the Matrix to accept as given.

So, I think you are quite right when you say that the entity of Ra subtly stressed on navigating and completing the evolutionary journey through the illusion, with adeptness, if I may add. Interestingly, Master Ra quotes in the exchange I have highlighted that the unfed mind has no polarity just as intelligent infinity has none, which unity100 says has been used interchangeably to mean the creator in several places across the LOO.

And meditation is usually about clearing the mind of all distortions, or in other words, make it unfed. In that state, it becomes the creator of no polarity then, doesn't it? And meditation is said to work powerfully on the chakric system, which indicates that unfettering the mind means diligent work with the energy centers. I hope I am making sense. The corollary is that a certain degree of adeptness in working with the chakras confers great mind potential.

Following from that premise, I find the following Ra quote worthy of attention (extracted from 79.19) -

Ra: I am Ra. The Matrix of Mind is that from which all comes. It is unmoving yet is the activator in potentiation of all mind activity.

In light of that, the saying attributed to Hermes Trismegistus, the ancient Egyptian personality, acquires new meaning for me. The quote is -

THE ALL is MIND; The Universe is Mental

I do apologize for the derailment, I know it's bad form to go off topic. I'd be happy to relocate to another thread!

I do not personally feel you should relocate to another thread, Jeremy. While exploring a topic within a broad range, it may at times feel that we are going much astray; but I believe that it will all work out well towards the end. Much like our grand movement through creation, I guess.

Your contributions so far have helped me find some interesting insights into the chakric influences.

are you after practical info, or spiritual meanings ?

I would say both, because I think beyond a certain point, one informs the other very effectively. Thanks for contributing, unity100.
