4 Questioner: Could you give me a little more detail about

your role with the Egyptians?

Ra: I am Ra. The identity of the vibration Ra is our identity. We

as a group, or what you would call a social memory complex,
made contact with a race of your planetary kind which you call
Egyptians. Others from our density made contact at the same
time in South America, and the so-called “lost cities” were their
attempts to contribute to the Law of One.

We spoke to one who heard and understood and was in a

position to decree the Law of One. However, the priests and
peoples of that era quickly distorted our message, robbing it of
the, shall we say, compassion with which unity is informed by
its very nature. Since it contains all, it cannot abhor any.

When we were no longer able to have appropriate channels

through which to enunciate the Law of One, we removed
ourselves from the now hypocritical position which we had
allowed ourselves to be placed in. Other myths, shall we say,
having more to do with polarity and the things of your vibration
that are complex, again took over in that particular
society/complex.

Does this form a sufficient amount of information, or could we

speak further?

Is there another query?

2.2 Questioner: Could you tell us something of your historical

background and your contact with earlier races on this planet?
Then we would have something to start with.

Ra: I am Ra. We are aware that your mind/body is calculating

the proper method of performing the task of creating a
teach/learning instrument. We are aware that you find our
incarnate, as you call it, state of interest. We waited for a second
query so as to emphasize that the time/space of several thousand
of your years creates a spurious type of interest. Thus in giving
this information, we ask the proper lack of stress be placed upon
our experiences in your local space/time. The teach/learning
which is our responsibility is philosophical rather than historical.
We shall proceed with your request which is harmless if
properly evaluated.

We are those of the Confederation who eleven thousand of your

years ago came to two of your planetary cultures which were at
that time closely in touch with the creation of the One Creator. It
was our naive belief that we could teach/learn by direct contact
and that the free will distortions of individual feeling or
personality were in no danger. We had no thought of their being
disturbed, as these cultures were already closely aligned with an
all-embracing belief in the live-ness or consciousness of all. We
came and were welcomed by the peoples whom we wished to
serve. We attempted to aid them in technical ways having to do
with the healing of mind/body/spirit complex distortions through
the use of the crystal, appropriate to the distortion, placed within
a certain appropriate series of ratios of time/space material. Thus
were the pyramids created.

We found that the technology was reserved largely for those

with the effectual mind/body distortion of power. This was not
intended by the Law of One. We left your peoples. The group
that was to work with those in the area of South America, as you
call that portion of your sphere, gave up not so easily. They
returned. We did not. However, we have never left your
vibration due to our responsibility for the changes in
consciousness we had first caused and then found distorted in
ways not relegated to the Law of One. We attempted to contact
the rulers of the land to which we had come, that land which you
call Egypt, or in some areas, the Holy Land.

In the Eighteenth Dynasty, as it is known in your records of

space/time distortions, we were able to contact a pharaoh, as you
would call him. The man was small in life-experience on your
plane and was a … what this instrument would call, Wanderer.
Thus, this mind/body/spirit complex received our
communication distortions and was able to blend his distortions
with our own. This young entity had been given a vibratory
complex of sound which vibrated in honor of a prosperous god,
as this mind/body complex, which we call instrument for
convenience, would call “Ammon.” The entity decided that this
name, being in honor of one among many gods, was not
acceptable for inclusion in his vibratory sound complex. Thus,
he changed his name to one which honored the sun disc. This
distortion, called “Aten,” was a close distortion to our reality as
we understand our own nature of mind/body/spirit complex
distortion. However, it does not come totally into alignment with
the intended teach/learning which was sent. This entity,
Ikhnaton, became convinced that the vibration of One was the
true spiritual vibration and thus decreed the Law of One.

However, this entity’s beliefs were accepted by very few. His

priests gave lip service only, without the spiritual distortion
towards seeking. The peoples continued in their beliefs. When
this entity was no longer in this density, again the polarized
beliefs in the many gods came into their own and continued so
until the one known as Mohammed delivered the peoples into a
more intelligible distortion of mind/body/spirit relationships.

Do you have a more detailed interest at this time?

22.23 Questioner: Then were there what we call priests trained

in these temples?

Ra: I am Ra. You would not call them priests in the sense of
celibacy, of obedience, and of poverty. They were priests in the
sense of those devoted to learning.

The difficulties became apparent as those trained in this learning

began to attempt to use crystal powers for those things other
than healing, as they were involved not only with learning but
became involved with what you would call the governmental
structure.

Category: Earth History: Atlantis

23.6 Questioner: Then at this time you did not contact them.
Can you answer the same question that I just asked with respect
to your next attempt to contact the Egyptians?

Ra: I am Ra. The next attempt was prolonged. It occurred over a

period of time. The nexus, or center, of our efforts was a
decision upon our parts that there was a sufficient calling to
attempt to walk among your peoples as brothers.

We laid this plan before the Council of Saturn, offering

ourselves as service-oriented Wanderers of the type which land
directly upon the inner planes without incarnative processes.
Thus we emerged, or materialized, in physical-chemical
complexes representing as closely as possible our natures, this
effort being to appear as brothers and spend a limited amount of
time as teachers of the Law of One, for there was an ever-
stronger interest in the sun body, and this vibrates in
concordance with our particular distortions.

We discovered that for each word we could utter, there were

thirty impressions we gave by our very being, which confused
those entities we had come to serve. After a short period we
removed ourselves from these entities and spent much time
attempting to understand how best to serve those to whom we
had offered ourselves in love/light.

The ones who were in contact with that geographical entity,

which you know of as Atlantis, had conceived of the potentials
for healing by use of the pyramid-shape entities. In considering
this and making adjustments for the difference as in the
distortion complexes of the two geographical cultures, as you
would call them, we went before the Council again, offering this
plan to the Council as an aid to the healing and the longevity of
those in the area you know of as Egypt. In this way we hoped to
facilitate the learning process as well as offer philosophy
articulating the Law of One. Again the Council approved.

Approximately 11,000 of your years ago we entered, by thought-

form, your—we correct this instrument. We sometimes have
difficulty due to low vitality. Approximately 8,500 years ago,
having considered these concepts carefully, we returned, never
having left in thought, to the thought-form areas of your
vibrational planetary complex and considered for some of your
years, as you measure time, how to appropriately build these
structures.

The first, the Great Pyramid, was formed approximately 6,000

of your years ago. Then, in sequence, after this performing by
thought of the building or architecture of the Great Pyramid
using the more, shall we say, local or earthly material rather than
thought-form material to build other pyramidal structures. This
continued for approximately 1,500 of your years.

Meanwhile, the information concerning initiation and healing by

crystal was being given. The one known as “Ikhnaton” was able
to perceive this information without significant distortion and
for a time, moved, shall we say, heaven and earth in order to
invoke the Law of One and to order the priesthood of these
structures in accordance with the distortions of initiation and
true compassionate healing. This was not to be long-lasting.

At this entity’s physical dissolution from your third-density

physical plane, as we have said before, our teachings became
quickly perverted, our structures once again went to the use of
the so-called “royal” or those with distortions towards power.

60.8 Questioner: Thank you. I don’t know if this question will

result in any useful information, but I feel that I must ask it.
What was the ark of the covenant, and what was its use?

Ra: I am Ra. The ark of the covenant was that place wherein
those things most holy, according to the understanding of the
one called Moishe, were placed. The article placed therein has
been called by your peoples two tablets called the Ten
Commandments. There were not two tablets. There was one
writing in scroll. This was placed along with the most carefully
written accounts by various entities of their beliefs concerning
the creation by the One Creator.

This ark was designed to constitute the place wherefrom the

priests, as you call those distorted towards the desire to serve
their brothers, could draw their power and feel the presence of
the One Creator. However, it is to be noted that this entire
arrangement was designed, not by the one known to the
Confederation as Yahweh, but rather was designed by negative
entities preferring this method of creating an elite called the
Sons of Levi.

74.4 Questioner: In a previous session there was a question on

the archetypical mind that was not fully answered. I would like
to continue with the answer to that question. Could you please
continue with that, or will it be necessary for me to read the
entire question over again?
Ra: I am Ra. As a general practice it is well to vibrate the query
at the same space/time as the answer is desired. However, in this
case it is acceptable to us that a note be inserted at this point in
your recording of these sound vibratory complexes referring to
the location of the query in previous workings.

(Note: This question was the last question asked in Session #67,
page 134.)

The query, though thoughtful, is in some degree falling short of

the realization of the nature of the archetypical mind. We may
not teach/learn for any other to the extent that we become
learn/teachers. Therefore, we shall make some general notations
upon this interesting subject and allow the questioner to consider
and further refine any queries.

The archetypical mind may be defined as that mind which is

peculiar to the Logos of this planetary sphere. Thusly unlike the
great cosmic all-mind, it contains the material which it pleased
the Logos to offer as refinements to the great cosmic being-ness.
The archetypical mind, then, is that which contains all facets
which may affect mind or experience.

The Magician was named as a significant archetype. However, it

was not recognized that this portion of the archetypical mind
represents not a portion of the deep subconscious but the
conscious mind and more especially the will. The archetype
called by some the High Priestess, then, is the corresponding
intuitive or subconscious faculty.

Let us observe the entity as it is in relationship to the

archetypical mind. You may consider the possibilities of
utilizing the correspondences between the mind/body/spirit in
microcosm and the archetypical mind/body/spirit closely
approaching the Creator. For instance, in your ritual performed
to purify this place you use the term “Ve Geburah”. It is a
correct assumption that this is a portion or aspect of the One
Infinite Creator. However, there are various correspondences
with the archetypical mind which may be more and more refined
by the adept. “Ve Geburah” is the correspondence of Michael, of
Mars, of the positive, of maleness. “Ve Gedulah” has
correspondences to Jupiter, to femaleness, to the negative, to
that portion of the Tree of Life concerned with Auriel.

We could go forward with more and more refinements of these

two entries into the archetypical mind. We could discuss color
correspondences, relationships with other archetypes, and so
forth. This is the work of the adept, not the teach/learner. We
may only suggest that there are systems of study which may
address themselves to the aspects of the archetypical mind and it
is well to choose one and study carefully. It is more nearly well
if the adept go beyond whatever has been written and make such
correspondences that the archetype can be called upon at will.

76.6 Questioner: I am sorry that we have had such a long delay

between the last session and this one. It couldn’t be helped I
guess. Could you please tell me the origin of the tarot?

Ra: I am Ra. The origin of this system of study and divination is

twofold: firstly, there is that influence which, coming in a
distorted fashion from those who were priests attempting to
teach the Law of One in Egypt, gave form to the understanding,
if you will pardon the misnomer, which they had received. These
forms were then made a regular portion of the learn/teachings of
an initiate. The second influence is that of those entities in the
lands you call Ur, Chaldea, and Mesopotamia who, from old,
had received the, shall we say, data for which they called having
to do with the heavens. Thusly we find two methods of
divination being melded into one with uneven results; the, as
you call it, astrology and the form being combined to suggest
what you might call the correspondences which are typical of
the distortions you may see as attempts to view archetypes.

Category: Tarot

76.7 Questioner: Then am I correct in assuming that the priests

of Egypt, in attempting to convert knowledge that they had
received initially from Ra into understandable symbology,
constructed and initiated the concept of the tarot? Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct with the addition of the Sumerian

influence.

Category: Tarot
78.33 Questioner: Would the archetype then that has been
called the High Priestess, which represents the intuition, be
properly the second of the archetypes?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. You see here the recapitulation of

the beginning knowledge of this Logos; that is, matrix and
potentiator. The unconscious is indeed what may be poetically
described as High Priestess, for it is the Potentiator of the Mind
and as potentiator for the mind is that principle which
potentiates all experience.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

79.33 Questioner: OK. At the present time we are experiencing

the effects of a more complex or greater number of archetypes
and I have guessed that the ones we are experiencing now in the
mind are as follows: We have the Magician and High Priestess
which correspond to the Matrix and Potentiator with the veil
drawn between them which is the primary creator of the
extension of the first distortion. Is that correct?

Ra: I am Ra. We are unable to answer this query without

intervening material.

Category: Tarot

89.16 Questioner: The way that I understand this, then, Ra gave

these archetypical concepts to the priests of Egypt who then
drew them upon the walls of one of the chambers of the Great
Pyramid. What was the technique of transmission of this
information to the priests? At this time was Ra walking the
surface among the Egyptians, or was this done through some
form of channeling?

Ra: I am Ra. This was done partially through old teachings and
partially through visions.

Category: Earth History: Confederation Aid

89.21 Questioner: In Archetype One, represented by tarot card

number one, the Matrix of the Mind seems to have four basic
parts to the complex. Looking at the card we have, first and most
obvious, the Magician and what seems to be an approaching star.
A stork or similar bird seems to be in a cage. On top of the cage
seems to be something that seems to be very difficult at (?)
discern. Am I in any way correct in this analysis?

Ra: I am Ra. You are competent at viewing pictures. You have

not yet grasped the nature of the Matrix of the Mind as fully as
is reliably possible upon contemplation. We would note that the
representations drawn by priests were somewhat distorted by
acquaintance with and dependence upon the astrologically based
teachings of the Chaldees.

Category: Tarot: 01 Matrix of the Mind

89.23 Questioner: Then could you tell me what information you

gave to the Egyptian priests who first were contacted or taught
with respect to the first archetype? Is this possible for you to do
within the limits of the first distortion?

Ra: I am Ra. It is possible. Our first step, as we have said, was

to present the descriptions in verbal form of three images: one,
eight, fifteen; then the questions were asked: “What do you feel
that a bird might represent? “ “What do you feel that a wand
might represent?” “What do you feel that the male represents?”
and so forth until those studying were working upon a system
whereby the images used became evocative of a system of
concepts. This is slow work when done for the first time.

We may note, with sympathy, that you undoubtedly feel choked

by the opposite difficulty, that of a great mass of observation
upon this system, all of which has some merit as each student
will experience the archetypical mind and its structure in an
unique way useful to that student. We suggest that one or more
of this group do that which we have suggested in order that we
may, without infringement, offer observations on this interesting
subject which may be of further aid to those inquiring in this
area.

We would note at this time that the instrument is having almost

continuous pain flares. Therefore, we ask that each of the
support group be especially aware of any misinformation in
order that we may correct any distortions of information the
soonest possible.

92.22 Questioner: I am assuming that she sits between the
different colored columns, with the dark one on her left, to
indicate at this position an equal opportunity for the potentiation
of the mind to be of the negative or positive nature. Would Ra
comment on this?

Ra: I am Ra. Although this is correct it is not as perceptive as

the notice that the Priestess, as this figure has been called, sits
within a structure in which polarity, symbolized as you correctly
noted by the light and dark pillars, is an integral and necessary
part. The unfed mind has no polarity just as intelligent infinity
has none. The nature of the sub-sub-sub-Logos which offers the
third-density experience is one of polarity, not by choice but by
careful design.

We perceive an unclear statement. The polarity of Potentiator is

there not for the Matrix to choose. It is there for the Matrix to
accept as given.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

92.24 Questioner: It seems to me that the drawings on each of

these columns are identical but that the left-hand column, that is
the one on the Priestess’s left, has been shaded much darker
indicating that the events and the experiences may be identical
in the incarnation but may be approached, viewed, and utilized
with either polarity. Is this correct?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. You will note also, from the
symbol denoting spirit in manifestation upon each pillar, that the
One Infinite Creator is no respecter of polarity but offers Itself
in full to all.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

92.25 Questioner: There seems to be a book on the Priestess’s

lap which is half hidden by a robe or material that covers her
right shoulder. It would seem that this indicates that knowledge
is available if the veil is lifted but is not only hidden by the veil
but is hidden partially by her very garment which she must
somehow remove to become aware of the knowledge which she
has available. Is this correct?
Ra: I am Ra. In that the conceit of the volume was not
originated by Ra we ask that you release the volume from its
strictured form. Your perceptions are quite correct.

The very nature of the feminine principle of mind which, in Ra’s

suggestion, was related specifically to what may be termed
sanctified sexuality is, itself, without addition, the book which
neither the feminine nor the male principle may use until the
male principle has reached and penetrated, in a symbolically
sexual fashion, the inner secrets of this feminine principle.

All robes, in this case indicating the outer garments of custom,

shield these principles. Thusly there is great dynamic tension, if
you will, betwixt the Matrix and the Potentiator of the Mind.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

92.27 Questioner: The fact that the Priestess sits atop the
rectangular block indicates to me that the Potentiator of the
Mind has dominance or is above the material illusion. Is this in
any way correct?

Ra: I am Ra. Let us say, rather, that this figure is immanent, near
at hand, shall we say, within all manifestation. The opportunities
for the reaching to the Potentiator are numerous. However, of
itself the Potentiator does not enter manifestation.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

92.29 Questioner: Was the symbol on the front of the

Priestess’s shirt given by Ra?

Ra: I am Ra. The crux ansata is the correct symbol. The addition
and slight distortion of this symbol thereby is astrological and
may be released from its stricture.

Category: Tarot: 02 Potentiator of the Mind

93.17 Questioner: I was specifically thinking of the fact that

Ra, in an earlier session, spoke of the tarot as a system of
divination. Would you tell me what you meant by that?
Ra: I am Ra. Due to the influence of the Chaldees, the system of
archetypical images was incorporated by the priests of that
period into a system of astrologically based study, learning, and
divination. This was not a purpose for which Ra developed the
tarot.
