VI. THE HIGHER SELF IS ALSO CALLED THE MAGICAL PERSONALITY

[Siren]

It seems that I right then in assuming that you believe this higher self to actually be the Creator rather than just an evolved aspect of the individual? is that correct/

The Higher Self (and I really do not fancy this term very much, mind you; however I do not have any more appropriate term for it, and given we're all already familiar with it, I use it as such) is an aspect or "portion" of you, body/mind/spirit complex, that resides in 6th density awareness, at that point prior to the "shuttling" into the 8th density through the violet-ray 7th density. Thus it acts as a guide/resource for you, mind/body/spirit complex, in your various "pasts" of it/yourself. It is, in this sense, something akin to an "oversoul" to your various soulstreams leading up to it.

To address your query more directly: it isn't the Logos/Creator in its state of timeless oneness preceeding the initiation of the red-ray spectrum and following the conclusion of the violet-ray spectrum.

and why do you call light illusory? I am curious about that.

Because light is an illusion and the illusion is light. Light is the only material/matter/element in Creation. Light is the manifestation/reflection of Love. It is the material of all physicality (whether solid and gross or subtle and ethereal), and it is thus subject to time and space, and hence, transmutation, transformation and transfiguration (change, change and change, respectively); light is the means—the vehicle—through which the Creator may experience the process of progress/growth/evolution (without light, without bodies, this is not possible—in order for this process to be possible there needs to be time and space, and hence, light).

That which moves the light, arranges and organizes it, vibrates/breathes through it, molds, shapes and imaginates it, energizes it, and dreams it into manifestation—this kinetic, motion, pulsation—, is Love/Thought/Logos.

Thus, light is the phenomenon that results from the noumenon.

What is being considered here is if Ra is speaking about the future evolved state of an individual consciousness when they say higher self, or if they are referring to the All, as you and I suspect.

Higher Self as future evolved state of an individual being, in such a state of awareness (6D) as to experience/enjoy a sufficient degree of timelessness, shall we say. Because of that, it is already you now.
