Regarding Straight line spiral

[Learner]

Hi Brothers and Sisters,

It has been I have questions regarding the characteristics of light that mentioned in 13.9 and 13.17. Firstly, I copy the two question as below:

13.9 Questioner: Then can you tell me how [the] galaxy and this planetary system were formed?

Ra: I am Ra. You must imagine a great leap of thought in this query, for at the last query the physical, as you call, it, universes were not yet born.

The energies moved in increasingly intelligent patterns until the individualization of various energies emanating from the creative principle of intelligent infinity became such as to be co-Creators. Thus the so-called physical matter began. The concept of light is instrumental in grasping this great leap of thought as this vibrational distortion of infinity is the building block of that which is known as matter, the light being intelligent and full of energy, thus being the first distortion of intelligent infinity which was called by the creative principle.

This light of love was made to have in its occurrences of being certain characteristics, among them the infinite whole paradoxically described by the straight line, as you would call it. This paradox is responsible for the shape of the various physical illusion entities you call solar systems, galaxies, and planets, all revolving and tending towards the lenticular.

13.17 Questioner: Does this first density then progress to greater awareness?

Ra: The spiraling energy, which is the characteristic of what you call “light,” moves in straight line spiral thus giving spirals an inevitable vector upwards to a more comprehensive beingness with regards to intelligent infinity. Thus, first dimensional beingness strives towards the second-density lessons of a type of awareness which includes growth rather than dissolution or random change.

My questions are:

1. Does "infinite whole" mentioned in 13.9 refer to "Light of love?"
2. In 13.9, light has its characteristics of "straight line", I can only imagine it is like a torch, when turned on, the light is coming straight out. Am I correct on that?
3. Why this "straight line" characteristics was "paradoxcially described?"
4. What is "straight line spiral" like? Does this actually is the paradox Ra mentioned?
5. What is "creative principal" mentioned in 13.9?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi Robert,

Here's my understanding so far. I do not know if they are correct, just offering as an perspective.

1. Does "infinite whole" mentioned in 13.9 refer to "Light of love?"
No. I believe the "infinite whole" refers to the ultimate unity that we are all part of, that has been called God, I AM, ALL, Oneness, and many other names. If you have read the "Kybalion", it is THE ALL mentioned in there. I believe that sentence meant to say that the "Light of love" expresses infinite whole in the form of straight lines, just like saying that we characterize the Sun on a piece of paper with a circle. Then reason it was called paradoxical maybe because a straight line is neither infinite nor whole. 

2. In 13.9, light has its characteristics of "straight line", I can only imagine it is like a torch, when turned on, the light is coming straight out. Am I correct on that?
Yes.

3. Why this "straight line" characteristics was "paradoxcially described?" 
See answer to question 1 and 4.

4. What is "straight line spiral" like? Does this actually is the paradox Ra mentioned?
First, imagine yourself walking a straight line from the Equator to the North Pole; then imagine you are someone who's observing you from a fixed point in space outside of the earth. Do you still see yourself walking a straight line? Because the earth is spinning, your trajectory would look like an northward spiral. Thus whether it is straight or spiral depend on your perspective. In the case of the light Ra speak of, from their higher perspective, 6D which also corresponds to higher dimensions physically, it is a straight line. But from our lower/3D perspective, because of our spinning/rotating motion wrt the greater universe, we perceive the light as spiral. 
This interpretation is corroborated in later sessions, such as 58.12, where Ra use the term "upward spiraling energy" to describe the intelligent energy that's been called light/love, prana/chi, etc. that the pyramid was used to focus. Ra said "The energy is not Earth energy, as we understand your question, but is light energy which is omni-present." It is due to the same reason: the straight line characteristics of the Light is from the universal perspective, not the earth/local perspective. This is most likely the reason Ra called it "paradoxcially described".
If you understand what I'm saying, Ra's explanation of the lenticular shapes of the star systems also makes sense: it is due to the same perception that created the paradox.


5. What is "creative principal" mentioned in 13.9?

I like what J.W said in a recent post about principles. I think this definition from the dictionary fits it here best: "[font=arial, sans-serif]a fundamental source or basis of something." Therefore the "creative principle" is the name used to describe the creative aspect of the light/energy, which the physical light is just a small part of it that can be perceived by us.[/font]
