The Senses of The BodyGraph | RA1.1

We all have senses; we all smell, we all see. When looking at senses at the BodyGraph level they are used to keep us alive, alert and in touch—essential tools for survival that operate at a mundane level. This lesson explores the difference between the expression at the surface level and the underlying architecture. Learn about each sense and how we can align ourselves with the profound architectural level specific to our BodyGraph, so we can express our true potential for self-awareness.

The Word | RA1.2

The hub of the BodyGraph as the Center of manifestation is the Throat Center, and all of its 11 Gates are connected to the voice. The dominant way in which we are intended to speak is through those Throat Gates that are defined in our Design. It is essential for each of us to understand where our voice comes from in order to be aware of the keys indicated by the frequency and quality of the voice. Ra explores the difference between open and defined Throats, and how the defined Throat can get locked in and influence us through not-self strategies.

The Primary Gates of Action | RA1.3

The BodyGraph reveals that activity is controlled by three Centers: Emotions, Ego and Sacral. We differentiate between Tribal, Individual and Collective action, with Collective action pointed at progress, and Individual action focused on bringing mutation as its main drive and purpose. Ra elaborates on the primary Gates of Action operating out of the Throat, and the special dynamic between the 20/34 Manifesting Generator channel and the 43/23 Projector channel.

The Gates of Fear | RA1.4

Located in three Centers, 20 out of the 64 Gates are Fear Gates in which the chemistry of discomfort, alertness, uncertainty and other things are embedded. While these fears can influence through the not-self, they also have value as they force us to gain intelligence and strive to be better equipped. All three types of fear — survival, anxiety, and experiential fears — are pointed towards the development of certain sensory or cognitive capacities. Learn how to move beyond the not-self use of fears that control you.

The Nine Fuels | RA1.5

We carry within us two forms of pressure—mental and physical pressure. Physical pressure is based within the nine Gates in the Root Center. These pressures provide the fuel that carries the information for the energetic direction of the body. Join Ra as he examines each Root Gate and its specific pressure, providing the fuels that are fundamental to our life process. This lesson will help you gain a deeper appreciation for the often overlooked Root Center.

The Third Gate — The Power of Mutation| RA1.6

This lesson discusses the importance of Gate 3, for without it there is no change or mutation in life. The format energy at the source of the mutative process, Gate 3 organizes the abundance of data input and controls the movement of the genetic information throughout the BodyGraph. Through the Lines and Roles of Gate 3 we can find the thematic continuity as it operates through other Lines in our BodyGraph. Ra also explores the power of mutation and its role in leading us into the future.

Gender Differentiation Gates | RA1.7

When we look at mechanics, there is no gender differentiation as the Personality is a consciousness filter that works through either a female or male body. But it is a necessary component for a mutative evolutionary biology because its dual nature makes it possible for us to produce something new. In the BodyGraph, Gender differentiation works through six specific Gates that show how deeply it is imprinted on our consciousness. Ra offers a deeper understanding of how this differentiation is manifested in each gender, and how our minds get absorbed in the process.

The Memory Network | RA1.8

Memory is not just what we personally remember, it actually is what holds us together and establishes the Maia, the world we live in. Our capacity to remember is the bedrock of our self-reflected consciousness, and without memory there is no potential for humanity to transform. Ra notes that, on the whole, our collective memory is based on not-self distortion, which feeds the homogenized world. This lesson describes the Circuit attributed to memory, Gate by Gate, and gives us a deeper understanding about the importance of memory in our lives.

The Splenic Streams | RA1.9

Streams are the bedrock of understanding the BodyGraph and its energy flow. It is important to look at any Gate or Channel in terms of the Circuit and Streams they are part of, because the aspects that are not part of our Design draw us and show where we are easily conditioned. Investigating the Streams in the BodyGraph, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and of others who share aspects of our Streams. Ra looks at the three different Circuits out of the Spleen — Individual, logical Collective, and Tribal Circuitry.

The Ajna Streams | RA1.10

The Gates, Channels, and Streams within the BodyGraph are the limitations that lead to Differentiation, and give each of us a unique style through which we express ourselves. The Ajna Streams, moving from the Head Center, through the Ajna, to the Throat Center, show the surface level at which mind expresses itself through these three Streams, taking on the style dictated by each. This lesson investigates the limitations that lie below the surface and impact our mind’s expression. Ra uses various examples that demonstrate how we can realize the full potential of our style.

The Solar Plexus Streams | RA1.11

The Solar Plexus System brings deep complexity to our lives. As the Emotional Authority of the majority of beings on the planet, a great deal of distortion permeates its energy field. In this lesson, Ra looks at each Solar Plexus Stream — Sensitivity, Emoting, and Feeling — and investigates the inherent mechanics of the Emotional System to illustrate how we can see the beauty of emotionality when expressed at its most profound. A deeper understanding of this process is vital as it is the source of the human experiential way.
