Lesson 1:
The Inanimate
The evolutionary movement of forms and the potential for consciousness begin with the inanimate. We generally think of the inanimate as dead matter; in this lesson, Ra explains that all of life’s extraordinary forms evolve from the inanimate, including the human body. The inanimate, or material essence, is simply dormant but infused with life.

Lesson 2:
The Cell
Our bodies are built of millions and millions of cells that are unaware of the existence of our personality. The vehicle does not belong to us; rather, the personality is invited into the body for the ride, but not to run the show. So what is the relationship between the cells — the body — and our Personality? In this lesson, Ra explains the role of the body and the role of the Personality, and our potential to experience life authentically.

Lesson 3:
Plant
Plants are one of the most important allies that we have. But the relationship is an ironic one, as plants will either homogenize us or provide us with the potential to individuate. In this lesson, Ra explains the importance of plants in our lives, and how we can best relate to them to experience their beneficial influence.

Lesson 4:
Insect
Have you ever wondered why you happen to be a nice treat for mosquitoes, but the person next to you isn’t? Have you ever thought about how important the relationship between insect and plant is? Did you know that 90% of the biomass is insect? In this lesson, Ra delves into the world of the insect, the relationship humans have with the insect, and what the insect realm can teach us.

Lesson 5:
Bird, Reptile, Fish
We live in a time of great change. One significant change will be the extinction of many species throughout the world. As Birds and Fish are a primary source of food for humans, how will their extinction impact us? In this lesson, Ra talks about the current global cycle, how this cycle’s changes will affect our lives, and what we can do to smoothly experience the changes mentally and physically.

Lesson 6:
Mammals
When we stopped giving thanks to the spirit of animals we hunted and began industrializing their slaughter, we also lost our love for them. That loss further moved us away from our own spirit. Now that we are in a time of great change, how will the changes we experience affect our relationship with mammals? In this course, Ra talks about how our lives and the lives of mammals have been intertwined, where this relationship will lead us in the future, and what the mammalian Design can teach us about ourselves.

Lesson 7:
Penta and Wa
There are forms that are more complex than the human form. These forms, the Penta and Wa, are transpersonal rather than self-contained, and actually dictate human direction. The Penta exists when there are three to five people together, and the Wa is formed when there are 16 or more in a group. In this lesson, Ra explains the mechanics of these forms and how they affect us.
