Ra’s Words of Wisdom

Ra Uru Hu

You need to truly grasp what your Definition is about. What is that, because that’s the part of you that’s really here to be recognized by the other. It’s something that is taught to every Projector, that they need to be seen for who they are. Because they have a focused aura, they open themselves up to very strong conditioning and don’t end up necessarily being seen. And where you are seen, where we are all seen, because remember something about your Definition. This is one of the deepest things to grasp about your Definition is that your Definition is what you put into the other. It’s just something to see.

If you’re not paying attention to it and you’re not following your Strategy and Authority, then this has no real way to operate correctly. And you have to understand the way we are as a prana. This separation between what we put out into the other, which is our Definition, and what we take in from the other, which is our openness that we believe is us, the part of us that gets conditioned that our mind works from.

That’s why it’s so important to honor your Strategy and Authority, because not only are you then putting yourself into the other correctly, but when the conditioning comes to you, it can come in, but it doesn’t have the power to change the way in which you will make decisions and that’s everything. But this is our basic prana. And it’s not simply about looking at your Definition so that you can say, “Ok, I’m an Emotional Generator, Split Definition,” it’s about really looking at it to see what you put into the other.

What happens when you’re a 59/6 and you put that energy into the other? Think about what happens. It becomes amplified and distorted. That’s what happens when anyone puts any energy into someone else, into their openness. That other person is either going to feel suddenly uncomfortable that they’re in your aura or too comfortable that they’re in your aura. And it will be the very quality of your frequency that will make the difference.

It’s what they take in; they take in your desire. While they’re taking in you, because that’s the thing that’s so interesting, you’re taking in them. But think about what happens to them when they take in you. That becomes their conditioning field. If they’re open to these lower three centers and they’re someone like me—open Sacral, open emotions, open Root—if I’m not-self and I’m taking this in, this becomes the root of my decision making. So I start making decisions based on the fact, gee, since I can be intimate with this person and it’s happens so suddenly, maybe I can release my desires, too. Maybe they really want me. Maybe this is a sexual invitation. And this is what the other person is taking in as a distorted field, of this going into them because they take it in through their openness and it becomes their raisonnent.

Isn’t it perverse? Think about the way in which human beings function. So everybody who meets this person, they’re taking in the desire for intimacy. They take it in, everyone. And it comes back as a distorted mirror. It’s not until you get to a point where you honor the result of your Definition, which is your Strategy, that you can begin to reorient your relationship with the other. But Definition, channels, channels are really something. The tradition or the synthesis of the channel comes from the Sefirot, comes from Kabala. It comes from, in essence, one of the first sort of based quantum theories. Channels are unique in every display of them in every being that carries them because of this mysterious quantum field that we simply give a name to as a channel.

Like at the 9/52, this theme of concentration, a Design of determination, think about the language. If you look at the Rave I’ Ching or any of the places where you see the keynoting of these various themes, all the channels are given this “a Design of.” But it’s very generic. There are all kinds of determination. Think about the variations that exist between this 9 and this 52 that can result in a different quantum. Think about the possibilities. The 52 has six Lines, six Colors, six Tones and five Bases as possibilities, any one of those.

And the same is true for the other side. We are talking about a lot of combinations. We’re not talking about the fact that this might be somebody’s son, and this might be their Neptune, we have no idea. There are so many possibilities for what is, in fact, the actual frequency at this end [the 9] and the actual frequency at this end [the 52] and the extraordinary emergence of this quantum. That’s how finite a straight line, a narrow, narrow, narrow line, is Definition.

It is also the gateway to our uniqueness and appreciating it. If you add up all of the numbers, the thousands and thousands of the “this and that‟, and you look at every single activation and channel you have, then you begin to see that you are indeed, at least in terms of the way in which you are defined and have activations, something that is truly unique. And what do you get to live out? You get to live out some kind of homogenized super generic of what this is and not the nuance that is you because as long as you don’t operate correctly none of that is going to emerge.

It’s nice to say, “They have the Channel of Initiation,” yeah, what kind of thousands of possibilities is that, what is that in you, what is that as a defining principle in you, what will that look like? We don’t know. We don’t know until it emerges. Until you give Authority to what is in fact your Definition only then can you begin to see the results. Only then does the doorway, in essence, open up. There is no other way. There’s none.

For me Definition is the first thing. It is the most exalted aspect as a view, because out of Definition you see everything. Yes, you don’t necessarily get to see the Profile. But you get the Type and you get the Strategy and you get the Authority. It’s all a by-product of Definition. So, to understand that Definition at one point is the most important thing for establishing uniqueness, and on the other side, recognizing how little is understood about it, how little is grasped. That’s the thing that’s so surprising. It’s like how little human beings grasp themselves, how little understanding they have, how deep is the lack of awareness in their process.
