In 5.2, Ra expessed this sentence: "The simplest example of this is the understanding that each biological male is female; each biological female is male."
Could someone explain me the deep meaning of this sentence?
In my opinion, this statement is only mysterious outside of context. Put in context, the point Ra is making is more clear.
Ra Wrote:We begin with the mental learn/teachings necessary for contact with intelligent infinity. The prerequisite of mental work is the ability to retain silence of self at a steady state when required by the self. The mind must be opened like a door. The key is silence.
Within the door lies an hierarchical construction you may liken unto geography and in some ways geometry, for the hierarchy is quite regular, bearing inner relationships.
To begin to master the concept of mental discipline it is necessary to examine the self. The polarity of your dimension must be internalized. Where you find patience within your mind you must consciously find the corresponding impatience and vice versa. Each thought that a being has, has in its turn an antithesis. The disciplines of the mind involve, first of all, identifying both those things of which you approve and those things of which you disapprove within yourself, and then balancing each and every positive and negative charge with its equal. The mind contains all things. Therefore, you must discover this completeness within yourself.
The second mental discipline is acceptance of the completeness within your consciousness. It is not for a being of polarity in the physical consciousness to pick and choose among attributes, thus building the roles that cause blockages and confusions in the already-distorted mind complex. Each acceptance smoothes part of the many distortions that the faculty you call judgment engenders.
The third discipline of the mind is a repetition of the first but with the gaze outward towards the fellow entities that it meets. In each entity there exists completeness. Thus, the ability to understand each balance is necessary. When you view patience, you are responsible for mirroring in your mental understanding, patience/impatience. When you view impatience, it is necessary for your mental configuration of understanding to be impatience/patience. We use this as a simple example. Most configurations of mind have many facets, and understanding of either self polarities, or what you would call other-self polarities, can and must be understood as subtle work.
The next step is the acceptance of the other-self polarities, which mirrors the second step.
These are the first four steps of learning mental discipline. The fifth step involves observing the geographical and geometrical relationships and ratios of the mind, the other mind, the mass mind, and the infinite mind.
The second area of learn/teaching is the study/understanding of the body complexes. It is necessary to know your body well. This is a matter of using the mind to examine how the feelings, the biases, what you would call the emotions, affect various portions of the body complex. It shall be necessary to both understand the bodily polarities and to accept them, repeating in a chemical/physical manifestation the work you have done upon the mind bethinking the consciousness.
The body is a creature of the mind’s creation. It has its biases. The biological bias must be first completely understood and then the opposite bias allowed to find full expression in understanding. Again, the process of acceptance of the body as a balanced, as well as polarized, individual may then be accomplished.
It is then the task to extend this understanding to the bodies of the other-selves whom you will meet. The simplest example of this is the understanding that each biological male is female; each biological female is male. This is a simple example. However, in almost every case wherein you are attempting the understanding of the body of self or other-self, you will again find that the most subtle discernment is necessary in order to fully grasp the polarity complexes involved.
Male cannot exist without female and female cannot exist without male. If one seeks to balance their mental geography regarding the complexes of male and female, one will have to look at both and understand the unity of two between them. Hot is cold and cold is hot, but just different temperatures in degree. Male is female and female is male, but just different genders in degree.
Just as when you see patience, you are responsible for mirroring that observation with impatience to be balanced, when you see you male, you are responsible for mirroring that observation with female. Starting with mental discipline with internal concepts such as patience/impatience or love/fear is more trivial than gender of other selves to balance which is why Ra recommends mastering that before moving to balancing perceptions of other-selves whom you will meet. And of course, the very first step is mastering silence. Without the silence to observe the mental geography and geometry, attempting to resolve paradoxes is akin to trying to navigate a forest blindfolded.
If you are interested in exploring and resolving polarity, paradoxes, and gender into unity, I also highly recommend the Kybalion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kybalion
