Hello Bruce,
Thanks for your input to my Understanding of the Reciprocally, Dichotomously and Holistically interfacing Cosmos (of Physicality, Consciousness and Spirituality).
Please note that, in exploratory related documents like this, I always capitalise the first letters of words that represent the “Most Significant Factors” in the Subjects or Gestalts I am Factorising, or about which I am writing.
I do this because, due to the failure of Societal Consciousness so far to recognise the reciprocal nature of “All That Is” and “All That Isn’t” (relative to The Cosmos), all words that would otherwise tend to expose that reciprocal relationship tend instead to be conflictingly and ambiguously defined in dictionaries.
The dictionary definitions still apply as approximations, but I imply meanings that are far more precise (Cosmically unifying Physicality, Consciousness and Spirituality) than those available from dictionaries.
It will probably make little difference to your understanding of what I write, but in case there is any lack of Clarity, please ask for my exact definition of the particular word that immediately precedes your first experience of a “Lack of Clarity” as you read the words I have written.
I am separating our stated / implied Beliefs (Factors in Consciousness”) from each other in order to subsequently re-align them, thus developing a “Subject Reality Map” that more closely represents the “Subject Territory”.
The most effective “Time-Place” (in Consciousness) to start is by comparing the Differences and Similarities between the Human and the Cosmic Meanings of the adjectives “Reciprocal” and “Dichotomous”.
The most effective “Time-Place” to finish is “When-Where” all apparent differences have become “individuated identities”, and all similarities have become “unified identities”, thus Clarifying our Individualities as distinct from, but always unified with The Cosmos.
I believe that successful alignment of the Human Meanings with the Cosmic Meanings of these two words will lead us towards reconciliation of the Personal Human Universe of the Individual, the Societal Universe of Physics (as described by the Belief Systems of Science) and the Cosmos.

The many differing “Human Meanings” assigned to the Cosmic process of “Reciprocity” emphasise or imply the qualities of support, alternation, the existence of time, space and location in which to physically reciprocate, the physical attraction of one-ness (unity in diversity, diversity in unity), the acceptance, value and essential nature of change, mutual interest and mutual action, the value of human and all other relationships, the value of affection, proportional division, etc.
The many differing “Human Meanings” assigned to the Cosmic process of “Dichotomy” emphasise or imply the qualities of opposition, selective suppression (especially of differences), decisions that treat as irrelevant the effects of Time, Space and Location, the mental separation of loneliness (isolation in diversity, diversity in isolation), the unacceptability, devaluation and fear of change, mutual interest and mutual action, the devaluation of human and all other relationships, separation, enmity, successive division, etc.
MY SUPPOSITIONS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
The characteristics and attributes of the qualities “Reciprocal” and “Dichotomous” are integrated by the third quality of “Holistic”. Reciprocity applies to both Physicality and Spirituality, whereas Dichotomy relates only to Human Consciousness. The Holistic Cosmos incorporates and governs all three qualities.
MY SUPPOSITIONS - CONTINUED:
For example, the Reciprocal / Dichotomous relationship that exists between “Personality” (which is a Consciousness based, false, very divided, mask-like, “designed to impress” pseudo oneness) and “Individuality” (which is a spiritually based, truly, subtle, almost un=noticeable and undividable genuine oneness). Both are essential to each other, but each is usually observed as opposing the other.
Analysis leads to the Clarification of Characteristics, Attributes and definitions that relate to Reciprocity and separately to Dichotomous Polarities, enabling us to discover how to integrate all three of these opposing Qualities, finishing up with the Qualities of a single, Reciprocation based, Holistic Process of “Space”, “Time”, “Space-Time”, “Being”, “Willing”, “Being-Willing” and “Knowing”, etcetera.
The Consciousness interface between Physicality and Spirituality involves partially aligned and partly misaligned Consciousness, multiple understandings, multiple misunderstandings and multiple consequential Fundamentalisms.
Anything that CANNOT be physically perceived and measured, but which CAN be conceived and perceived in Consciousness, is a Spiritually Motivated Experience.
Anything that CAN be physically perceived and measured, and also conceived and perceived in Consciousness is a Physically Motivated Experience.
The Valuable Final Product that RESULTS from the integration of Physical and Spiritual Motivations and Experiences is Consciousness. Each Consciousness is identified, described and specified by its own exactly corresponding Belief System.
Thus all Processes relating to Principle, Knowing, Being, Willing, Space-Time (as a Single Concept and Process of Unification), to Qualities, Attributes and Cosmic Relationships produce a “Spiritually Motivated Experience” in Consciousness.
Correspondingly, all Procedures relating to Practices, Belief Systems, Features, Effort, Space and Time (as Duality Concepts and Processes of Division), to Quantities, Characteristics and Human Relationships produce a “Physically Motivated Experience” in Consciousness.
Thus “All That Is”, All That Isn’t”, “All that is Physical”, “All that is Spiritual” and “All that is Consciousness”, all possibilities, probabilities and all imagined certainties are defined and aligned by human beings in terms of “Experience in Consciousness”. But this strictly human Experience in Consciousness needs also to be in accordance with the “Absolute Consciousness of The Cosmos”.
Only “Cosmic Spirit” fully supports the alignment of Consciousness, reciprocating in an Absolute manner between “Spiritually True Meaning” or “Cosmic Knowingness” and exactly corresponding Physicality. All else is a dichotomous, humanity based, belief system approximation.
If we choose to question all things, determining “True and all inclusive” Meanings for ourselves, then everything is increasingly seen to be as it truly is. The Beingness associated with our Belief System, Reality and Consciousness improves.
If we choose NOT to question anything, accepting the un-validated Beliefs of others as if they were thoroughly proven “truths”, then everything becomes increasingly an illusion, only seeming to be true. “Beingness” disintegrates, taking Self Esteem, Self Image, Self Love, Self Worth, Self Confidence with it.
There is a triad relationship between Belief System, Reality and Consciousness.
Each Belief System determines its own Realities and Unrealities, and thus the Yang-Yin emphases of its own “all-circumscribing” Consciousness.
MY SUPPOSITIONS - CONTINUED:
Due to the un-questioning State of Consciousness which most generate for themselves, they rely upon their Belief System and its exactly corresponding Reality alone, believing their Consciousness to be the same as their Reality. By doing so they are ignoring the existence of the Un-realities their Belief System also generates, which are contained within Consciousness, but not within Reality.
The abovementioned triad (both Personal and Group triads) exists between “The Worlds of Men” (the Reciprocating Physical) and The Realms of The Mighty Ones (the Reciprocating Spiritual).
MY SUPPOSITIONS - CONTINUED:
In the writing of this article I am intentionally reciprocating between the two, in order to represent and synergise both Physical and Spiritual viewpoints into one aligned (as much as possible) Cosmic viewpoint.
The Individuating (i.e. continuously dichotomising) Human Being (evolving soul) creates an ever balancing but never completely balanced synergy of self as source (“Being”), self as motivation (“Will”), and self as administration (“Belief System”).
“Human Reality” is the illusion resulting from Belief System interpretations. It provides a reciprocal / dichotomous interplay between Human Consciousness (which assumes dichotomous “space” and “time”) and Universal or Cosmic Consciousness (which involves reciprocally unified “space-time”, “being-will” and their “Valuable Final Product” or “Unity Key” of “Aware-Will-Knowing”).
The apparency contained within the Human Reality is that of dichotomous (standalone “space” and standalone “time”), but the actuality is a mixed reciprocally / dichotomously inter-relating construction within consciousness”.
Physical Reciprocity and Spiritual Reciprocity are brought together in Reciprocal / Dichotomous Consciousness. Both EVOLVING Reciprocity and DEVOLVING Dichotomy are the mutually supportive means by which Spirituality is manifested in Physicality.
EVOLVING Dichotomy and corresponding DEVOLVING Reciprocity also occur.
Depolarisation between Dichotomy (Misalignments within Human Consciousness) and Reciprocity (The truths of Physicality, Spirituality and The Cosmos) may be achieved within Human Consciousness. This leads to eventual reconciliation within the now purified Consciousness, of the Reciprocally Operating Physical Universe of “Space-Time” with the also Reciprocally Operating Spiritual Universe of “Willing-Being-Cosmic Consciousness”.
In terms of the Consciousness Process, each “Belief System” (the experientially “active” constituent of “Physical Space-Time”) and each “Knowingness” (the experientially “passive” constituent of “Spiritually Aware Willing-Being” are divided against each other.
Fully defining the “Perfect but unseen Synergy-Relationship” that exists at all times between “Physical Reciprocity” and “Spiritual Reciprocity” causes all four aspects of “Physicality”, “Reciprocity”, “Spirituality” and “Dichotomy” to be seen within Consciousness as they truly are; something along the lines of Aware-Will, awake in the void, creating a mutually pan determined continuum of Reciprocating “Space-Time” and “Willing Being”.
In terms of the Belief System Process, Consciousness involves a dichotomously related interplay between initially individuated and subsequently dichotomised Being and Willing that, faced with the problem of physical manifestation, confronts and explores the inter-relationships between Affinities, Communications, personal and mutual Realities, Goals, Problems, results, Control of Own Consciousness and Consciousness of Own Responsibility, making possible the evolution (completing the jigsaw) of an Absolute Individuality that is “fully being”, “fully wilful and willing” and consequently “fully knowing”. The achievement of this State of Consciousness depolarises The Last Dichotomy.
Knowing is True Cosmic Wisdom. Everything else is unaligned Belief.
MY SUPPOSITIONS - CONTINUED:
Personal Consciousness is an evolving “artificiality” of “self chosen spiritual values”, desired and / or resisted into pseudo alignment with “environmentally imposed physical quantities”.
Universal or Cosmic Consciousness is an (also evolving) synergy of all spiritual qualities and all physical quantities, knowingly, continuously and effectively brought into alignment with all the consequences of Manifesting Consciousness.
Every living entity is a manifesting consciousness, a composite of spiritual qualities, self-chosen to hopefully align with corresponding physical impacts.
The combined Physical/Spiritual Cosmos is the exactly appropriate environment in which every living entity first individuates (as Aware-Will) from the eternally and reciprocally supportive Cosmos.
Each individuating entity then dichotomises its belief system into an enormous number of possibilities, probabilities and certainties, exploring the “mirror image dichotomous concepts” of Being and Willing, systematically also dichotomising, experiencing and resolving these self created dichotomies in order to evolve its own Unified Introverted and Extroverted Consciousness of The Cosmos and its Creator.
Each conscious entity exists at all times within its own “Gestalt”. This Gestalt involves the self, the environment and the relationships that operate between these. It is capable of infinite expansion, but only if it abandons dichotomy and goes for all inclusive reciprocity.
I am not familiar with Ra's "density lessons" but do consider that a universal, physically and spiritually integrated, single consciousness is the overall specifying, implementing, establishing and continual motivator for All That Is.
Whatever the physical relationship between physical time and physical space, each human being views it through his own gestalt, which is constructed from a synergy of “being” and “will” that, as integrated “Willing-Being” eventually merge and become “Individuated Know” or “Individually aligned reflection of The Creator”.
By comparing the similarities, identities and differences between different belief systems, realities and personal consciousnesses, we facilitate the establishment of mutually shared goals, minimise all problems and finish up with valuable final products and services.
Most people focus on (have desires for) similarities and identities, and consider that all differences pose a potential threat to their beliefs, to their realities and to their consciousnesses.
By resisting the need to address and resolve differences, people initiate further dichotomies, which then, always in reciprocal manner, hand back to them exactly appropriate manifestations for them to resist and hopefully next time, more effectively address.
Only those who appreciate the value of resolving differences, especially the differences between similarities and identities, enable themselves to consistently expand their consciousness.
COMMENT REGARDING YOUR MUCH-VALUED INPUT:
There is a “Scale of Emotions or Affinities” that ranges from “Unconditional Love”, right down to “Total Hate”. At the Emotion of Antagonism, there is an approximately balanced opposition that involves the entity (existing as a physical being) having the intention (i.e. “will” that has disintegrated into emotionally opposed but physically stopped Love at this level on the scale) opposing anything that is conceived to be contra survival.
COMMENT - continued
“Fear” is very fundamental, but from the Physical Energy versus Spiritual Motivation (degraded love) point of view, lies immediately below “Covert Hostility” and immediately above “Terror”.
It is the concept of “Individuality”, not the concept of “Fear” that at all levels on this scale opposes the concept of The Creator as an “Omnipresent Being”. Fear comes as a, sooner or later realisation, regarding the possible, probable and even certain consequences of dichotomising The Un-Manifested Cosmos into Manifested Individuality (“Aware-Will”) and Manifested All That Is (“Rest of The Cosmos”).
Fortunately for us, each aspect of The Manifested Cosmos acts invariably in a Reciprocally Supportive and never Dichotomously Opposed manner. Eventually we will all realise that Reciprocation is the only (i.e., most effective) way to live.
Its the “I want to be me” syndrome that people take on board, not realising that individuality depends upon the ability “to be” and “to will” ones own existence” whilst, at the same time, making maximum use of The Cosmos Creator’s reciprocally operating Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience to achieve this individuality.
People cannot see that the closer they get to creating and aligning their Personal Belief System, their Personal Reality and their Personal Consciousness with their own image of their own imagined Creator, the more consciously and individually distinguishable from, but not separable from that Creator they become.
The ability to take Responsibility for both ends of a dichotomy requires a neutralised win / win viewpoint, in which each end is balanced (reciprocated) with the other, not polarised from the other.
Both Creator and humans are conscious entities or ONE-nesses.
“Creator One-ness” is a dynamically expanding and consolidating, quality assured, specification, manifestation and eternal improvement system.
“Human ONE-ness” is a sometimes dynamically expanding, sometimes consolidating, sometimes stuck, specification, manifestation and consequential improvement or deterioration system, quality assured (by The Creator) and maybe quality controlled (by the human).
If the quality assurance aspect was missing, then all that one would get would be quality-controlled disorder. One would certainly not get “conscious individuality”, only “reduced consciousness personality”. “Consciousness”, by definition, demands that one knows what is going on; not what one fondly believes one would like to be going on.
Knowledge can be, and often is, considered to be the Valuable Final Product of a carefully specified, implemented, tried and tested science, philosophy, religion or other more expedient form of belief system.
Although I accept that definition of knowledge, so far as it goes, I routinely experience a form of “instant knowledge” that is far more effortlessly and effectively (subsequently, not beforehand) specified, implemented, tried and tested than the level of knowledge at which the scientists and the educationalists aim.
When it comes to a comparison between “sciences” as they are currently promoted, this is especially true. They have nothing at all to do with “knowledge” in the sense that I am using it. Currently, sciences are societal belief systems.
Larson’s theory, and probably other theories of which I am also intellectually pig ignorant, show that science first needs to be truly understood instead of merely dichotomously argued about, and then abandoned for the load of mental constrictions that it obviously represents.
COMMENT - continued
Knowledge - continued
Even from the pathetic level of my current ignorance regarding Larson’s theory, it is clear to me that it far more exactly corresponds with Universally Applicable Meaning of “Knowledge” than does the so-called Sciences of most textbooks.
Larson’s theory and the objective evidence that supports it, points towards a “knowledge” in which those qualities that you and I refer to as “knowing”, “wisdom”, “being”, “will”, “space”, “time”, etc. are all effectively understood, subjected to conscious control and responsibility, and incorporated into life.
Presumably because I have been doing this stuff since I was thirteen years old, which is 53 years ago, I have developed a really weird ability to spontaneously “know” many things. This started to expand exponentially, in connection with my work on specifying and applying the International Standards Organisation management systems.
I question your suggestion that “being is kinetic knowledge”, that “Will is potential knowledge”. I suggest that only when “being” and “Will” have manifested at the degraded levels of dichotomised physical bodies and human belief systems may they be regarded as polarised "energies".
I suggest that “Being” is the passive (spiritual power, not physical energy) and that “Will” is the active (actually manifesting physical energy, not spiritual power) constituent of Consciousness.
Ideally, spiritual “Being” and physical “Will” act in a reciprocally supportive manner, producing a fully aligned Belief System, Reality and Consciousness.
Clarity is a consequence of both “illusory understanding” and “factually knowing”.
Illusory clarity is the same as “fond belief” or “fundamentalism”. It is based on affinities, communications and the “Eureka” realisations that results from such mental gymnastics. This is the situation in which sciences, along with all other fundamentalist belief systems, frequently find themselves.
On the other hand, factual Clarity is the result of taking conscious control over ones fond beliefs, exercising conscious responsibility for them, and applying them to a sufficiently representative sample, so that fond belief turns into unquestionably objective evidence.
Transcendence (as a verb) is the Purpose of every Process. “Old Age” should represent the transcendence of Youth by Wisdom. But Belief Systems prevent Wisdom from developing. Again Control (over consciousness) and (conscious) Responsibility provide the answer.
Belief Systems are converted to Wisdom by applying conscious Control and conscious Responsibility to the correction of unreliability.
I have had an all too brief look at the Ra Material and observe that it is presented with the aid of the seven step process. This process has a definite relationship to the Nine Step Process with which I mostly work. I am quite content to extract wisdom from hopping back and forwards between the two systems. In fact I use them both, but tend to rely upon the nine step one, because I get a more down to earth and management system approach by doing so. I have a whole list of seven step physical, mental, emotional and spiritual seven step processes that I have isolated and that I use for contemplative purposes when trying to bring specific subjects into the areas of understanding and knowing.

I have been able to identify five such qualities:
1) Fear (John's "Presence"; presence being in opposition to the Unity of
Motion -- the natural datum)
2) Power
3) Knowledge (being = kinetic knowledge; Will = potential knowledge -- both are
a type of "energy")
4) Clarity (Wisdom)
5) Old Age (Transcendence)
These relate to the Ra Material's 2nd thru 6th density "Lessons" (Fear being the
2nd density lesson).

Very true. When you examine all the observable physical processes, you will find
that "evolution" is geared to increase the level of consciousness. The ultimate
achievement thus being a universal consciousness. "As above, so below." As we
increase consciousness, we increase in complexity. Any part of such complexity,
by necessity of design, also has the potential to achieve universal
consciousness, so therefore each of us can also have a potential universe within
ourselves.

Carl G. Jung, in his "Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche", recognized that
there was an inverse relationship between the physical and the spiritual, but he
could never comprehend it. He assumed that the spirit was analogous to legacy
physic's concept of "time" as a 4th dimension, rather than a Universe unto
itself (Cosmic sector). This is why he viewed everything as a "collective
unconscious" (kind of like Larson did with the 3rd Sector), and did not try to
isolate it out into its individual components -- dispersed in spirit, instead of
matter.

Right again. Manifest = 3d space, unmanifest = scalar time, integration = Motion
(the binding function of space and time). But, since we now understand that time
also has a full three dimensions, then what you have between "manifest" and
"unmanifest" is simply two different points of view of the same motion -- the
manifest view is taken from the material sector, with any temporal component
appearing unmanifest. The other view is the one taken from the Cosmic sector,
where everything that was unmanifest is now manifest, and everything that was
spatial manifest is now unmanifest in time. The "integrated manifesting" is the
material sector view; the "unmanifesting influence" is the cosmic sector view.
> For instance, Science manifests in terms of physical measurement what

Science = measuring the material sector.
Philosophy = measuring the cosmic sector's influence FROM the material sector
(and thus not seeing it as a science in itself, which would have to be measured
from the cosmic sector).

What you have here is the same relationship you have between "object" (quantity)
and "function" (quality). The reason quanity is not demonstrable is because it
is always based on a relationship between quantities. Take the math equation, 2
+ 3. "2" and "3" are quantities. "+" (addition) is a quality, that operates on
the quantities. Quality exists in an inverse relationship to quantity, which
makes it as elusive as the quark.
Now if you can shift your perspective to view addition as a "quantity" (an
object), then you can see the other side of the coin, from the Cosmic sector
viewpoint. Of course, when you see addition as a quantity, it becomes
archetypal, then the numbers become qualities (the symbolic meaning of a number,
versus physical quantity). Symbols are almost always qualities.

Dichotomy differs from polarity in the respect that the resolution to dichotomy
is Unity. The resolution of polarity is nothing, no-thing (zero). Dichotomy can
also be viewed as two points on a circle, one at zero degress and the other at
180 degrees. There are two choices to solve the dichotomy -- move both points in
to the center (Unity as "1"), or fill in the circle -- Unity as n/n, where "n"
indicates a perfect balance of each half, which could be mathematically reduced
to Unity. This is what Pythagoreas talks about in his principles of Unity,
Dichotomy, and Harmonia. 1 = 2/1 x 1/2 = 2/2. In this way, the magnitude of each
aspect grows in complexity, having only the net motion being Unity, not the
individual components.

Because space and time are simply aspects of motion, you cannot have one without
the other. If time does not exist, space cannot exist either. Then you don't
have a universe.

"Aspects of Knowing" might be a better way to look at it.

The universe of which we are a part is structured to increase the levels of
complexity and consciousness. Consciousness is simply "motion", not between
space and time, but between the physical and spiritual. As such, the physical
universe -- one aspect of that motion (material AND cosmic sectors) look like
3-D space does to scientists, with the realms of matter and antimatter. The
other aspect -- the spiritual -- is also an entire universe unto itself, which
religion, philosophy and symbolism are trying to map out. But it is difficult,
because as we know from Larson's work, any motion in Time is distributed in
Space -- so we end up with mythological motifs describing these spiritual
"objects."
Another function that the universe exhibits is the process of individuation --
separating from the group, and standing on its own. In the physical, rock and
dust aggregate to form stars and planets. All dust and rock know is
"gravitation" as a concept. When we move on, we find that "life" exhibits the
inverse behavior. Instead of creating one huge, single planetary lifeform, we
end up with millions of species, trying to spread their individual bits out all
over the universe. An act opposite to gravitation!
So, the basic evolutionary process is to increase complexity and individuate.
Keep this in mind when doing your research -- I think you will find it of help.
