I haven’t see. It yet. Maybe I should get on that.
Quote:80.20 Questioner: Sorry about that. Can you tell me what the twentieth archetype would be?
Ra: I am Ra. That which you call the Sarcophagus in your system may be seen to be the material world, if you will. This material world is transformed by the spirit into that which is infinite and eternal. The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly. There are many things which fall away in the many, many steps of adepthood. We, of Ra, still walk these steps and praise the One Infinite Creator at each transformation.
The business of of the world being transformed by spirit is, of course, an experience internal to the participant. Same goes for many things falling away. So, maybe the process of "becoming nobody" is simply allowing your consciousness to find its true being within the context of worldly tumult? Easier said than done, I suppose. Perhaps the film offers some practical suggestions?
As a curious aside, this is a very interesting line: "The infinity of the spirit is an even greater realization than the infinity of consciousness, for consciousness which has been disciplined by will and faith is that consciousness which may contact intelligent infinity directly." It seems to be comparing passive consciousness with that which has agency derived from self discipline, i.e., derived from the shape consciousness has taken as a result of the choices made along the way which have helped it bend towards eternity.
