dear rocky and everyone,
some of the statements given by ra cause me concern. i'm sorry that david has not chosen to use anthroposophical elucidication, aside from praising steiner's "knowledge of higher worlds". for me, anthroposophy offers much explanation and is a comfort zone where everything fits and is beautifully explained. (this list is mainly to offer study and support of this body of material as well as david's wk).
two years have passed since i first came across "the reincarnation of " and "ra books" and also joined steiner lists. i'd been a student of cayce scholar harmon bro, and was very excited at the potential return of cayce. i'm more of a traditional christian and find those interpretations greatly expanded and supported by anthroposophy. ra adds elements that are disturbing to me. i'm thankful to have been able to share links to smith's wks and matherne reviews. my earlier post 10 in gd "north
american ley lines", shared one of my recommendations. nina

"those who were blessed to witness, on the mountain, the ascension of christ heard "two men" in "white robes" say that jesus would "come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven" (acts 1,10-11). these are the same "two men" who appeared "in dazzling apparel" to the women at the tomb (lk 24,4; jn 20,12). in the burning bush we saw that these "two men" were the etheric and astral bodies of jesus (pp. 414, 447 and 449). through these bodies, remaining in the etheric and astral domains of the earth, these followers were enabled to "see" and "hear" a spiritual event of great moment.1 a window into spiritual reality was briefly opened to them, as witnesses, for the day when this could be more fully understood. that day, only now beginning to dawn, can evolve into full understanding only when "cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without men, and the land is utterly desolate" (is 6,9-12).2 the earth is already dying as the prodigal son begins the long return journey home. the gospel accounts of the resurrection appearances, the forty days, and the ascension can be reconciled and understood only in the light of koenig's divine perception set out in the burning bush (p. 506). we saw there in the "second coming" and "lord of karma" essays how the christ, who had "gone to the father" (jn 14,28; 16,10,28 and 20,17) in those early days, was returning to reveal himself again through those "bodies," that is, "in the same way as you saw him go into heaven" (acts 1,11). the "fish" that were partaken after the resurrection were of the same character as those in the divine "feedings," symbols (signs; see jn 6,14) of the age of the fish (i.e., two fish, jn 6,9, the sign of pisces), our present cultural era that began with the renaissance, when the human spiritual soul would begin to "see" the christ returned in the etheric world.3"
