I like that Ra quote.. It makes sense.
Maybe we can interpret consciousness to be a spectrum of experience. On the root level or what we would call highest levels is intelligent infinity. And near it are the transpersonal experiences. On the lowest level are direct physical sensations and near it are hormonal emotions, instincts and lower mental functions like reflexes.
Each bandwidth on the spectrum has it's own experiences which are generated by a variety of systems. For example, the physical senses, the hormone system, the brain whose low level reflexes are probably located in the flesh to higher level functions, (conscious awareness, thinking, identity, personality) which may be situated in the astral double that could go from body to body in reincarnation. Above that is the interpersonal level which is the part of us that is our families, our societies, our species, an earth consciousness, solar consciousness, galactic consciousness and intelligent infinity.
Our consciousness reaches from the intelligent infinity to the lowest level of cellular mechanisms. But we're without training typically aware only of a small bandwidth around thought and self image.
Mind is a subset of this spectrum.
The major thing to note from my suggestion is that consciousness is an infinite white light which has reflected in itself the various systems that make up our life experiences. Another thing to note is that we're connected as one entity at the interpersonal level. We're like two branches of a tree meeting and thinking the other branch is another entity.
The entire organism is connected at it's root and branches out throughout the psychoverse much like a tree. Which is where the tree of life myths i.e. yggdrassil come from. Note that cells of our body are related to us as we are related to our planet.
