DuncanIdahoTPF, thank you for your post it sums up what I know and ascribe to as well.
The longevity part was very "jolting" for me when I first read it. In Daoist thought one seeks longevity in order to maximize the amount of time your soul has to seek enlightenment. For Ra to communicate that that point of view does not apply in these times was very "jolting" to me. It not that I'm living a disspipative lifestyle as a result. It is that in my cultivation of spirit I pay less attention to longevity practices. To carry your farming metaphor along, "The remaining part of the growing season is short."
