This isan interesting passage mentioning the role of mind in enabling consciousness and the pervasiveness of created and uncrreated consciousness.

Yes, Q’uo, I have a query. I have found evidence in The Ra Material that suggests consciousness is a mental phenomenon that connects body and spirit. However, it feels as if consciousness exists over and above mind, body and spirit complexes, unifying the three. Have I misunderstood Ra?
Q’uo
I am Q’uo, and am aware of your query, my brother.
In our perception of the words which Ra has spoken, there is, indeed, both instances holding true, where consciousness does, indeed, connect the mind and the body, for the mind is a means by which consciousness may be funneled or utilized in a specific sense, so that the mind may create what is called “the physical body,” to be an analog of itself, so that it may have a reality within any particular density or illusion. Through the body, the mind may walk about, the mind may hear, the mind may speak.
And yet, there is also consciousness which is undirected, without a funneled or focused point of view—a consciousness which is cosmic in nature and which encompasses all things which are made within the One Creation.
There is also the beingness of the One Creator which has not been made, and is not part of the One Creation, if we may further befuddle you. Hopefully, we have not confused you overmuch.
Don’t know.. hard to understand but for me “is not part of One Creator” and “infinite cannot be many” contradicts with each other. The rest is interesting, thank you.
1.7Questioner: [The question was lost because the questioner was sitting too far from the tape recorder to be recorded.]
Ra: I am Ra. Consider, if you will, that the universe is infinite. This has yet to be proven or disproven, but we can assure you that there is no end to your selves, your understanding, what you would call your journey of seeking, or your perceptions of the creation.
That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. You have seen simple examples of unity. You have seen the prism which shows all colors stemming from the sunlight. This is a simplistic example of unity.
You seem to be misreading the text. It says, “not part of the One CREATION,” which is also interesting in itself.
One aspect of this that interests me involves that fact the way Nature is so very intelligent. For example, trees and plants can communicate about environmental conditions and actually aid each other, all without benefit of a nervous system. Starfish have a 10-12 nerves, no brain, and function adequately that way. There are so many profoundly intelligent solutions to challenges in evolutionary development on all levels.
Somehow this seems to tie in with omnipresent, unaffiliated consciousness. But that part about a level of consciousness that is of the Creator, but not part of the Creation is a head scratch for me. I’ve never run into any thing like that…yet.
