"Ra: I am Ra. At the beginning of this creation or, as you may call it, octave there were those things known which were the harvest of the preceding octave. About the preceding creation, we know as little as we do of the octave to come. However, we are aware of those pieces of gathered concept which were the tools which the Creator had in the knowing of the self."

it is always to be remembered here, i think, that there was a previous octave, and there is a next octave. things known in this octave were not known in the prior one.

I was just reading last night that the archetypes themselves might be considered the learning of a previous octave (well,it was in different terminology in the Cosmic Doctrine--pages 60-64 if anyone is interested.)

And further that the achievements of previous octaves are impressed on the new ones in the form of archetypes.

I REALLY like it when my favorite books agree...
