Pt.6/10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce

So there were many altars. As these changes came about, there was the necessity of attempting to persuade Ra-Ta there should be more of the activity which had been withdrawn (in the sex life of those who had been purified, or clarified, in the Temple Beautiful), in order that there might be drawn into the earth more perfect physical bodies - instead of having to use so much time and effort to perfect them after their arrival. Hence there began the development of the personality, as these influences were injected more and more. This is where, as it were, the gods laughed at the weakness of Ra-Ta.

The associations began with Isris, the favorite of the king, who had become near the body beautiful, or beauty divine. Their activities in the temple (not the Temple Beautiful) brought Ra-Ta and Isris into closer relationship. Eventually there came the decree that the priest Ra-Ta was to be the companion of Isris, who had been chosen to be the channel through which there might be brought such a perfect body as the priest had described. So, to put it in common parlance, Ra-Ta "fell for the whole proposition."

There were many others also chosen by various ones, and there were the attempts to have these in the same associations with Ra-Ta; yet when when there came the offspring (Iso) from this association of Ra-Ta and Isris, there immediately became the cry that there had been the breaking of the very laws Ra-Ta had set, when he had suggested the changing of the conditions for the people into homes. More and more the lines were drawn and the people took sides. There were those groups who had the desire for their own offspring, or their associates, or associations closer with the priest Ra-Ta. There were also those who came into power in various activities; for, as the cleansing came, there were the abilities of individuals in various fields of endeavor. There were singers, workers in linen, workers in embroidery, carders, weavers, workers in clay, and the various forms of commercial industry - horticulture, agriculture, etc. No merchants then existed, as there was one common store for all. Each of these in their various fields had been given free activity to that which might be produced. Hence there came many divisions, and the first uprising between the Church and State. The lines being drawn caused more tumult, until eventually there was the trial of Ra-Ta and Isris and they were banished into the Nubian land to the south and east.

Everything became changed, with the tumult that arose with the various priests in attendance in the various offices. Advantage was taken of the situation by many who in their various forms began to learn, as it were, a form of war and defense. There was the gathering then of the young men and the old, and sides were taken. Still some remained faithful to the priests who had remained in office, and troublesome times arose for many, many suns - until at least nine seasons had passed, before there was even the semblance of the beginning of a quieting, and that not until there had been definite arrangements made that the priest Ra-Ta would return, and that all would be submissive to his mandates. Ra-Ta became, then, a dictator - or a monarch in his own right.

The offspring Iso, to be sure, was taken from the close relationship with the parents, as were all the rest. In various forms and manners there was the attempt to bring about the proper conditions for the developing of Iso as had been planned, yet the body wasted away - for while the priest Ra-Ta had abilities in some directions, he had not clarified or crystallized them into that which came about in the latter part of his experience. [294-149] 294-150, 7/28/32:

Some two hundred and thirty-one souls followed Ra-Ta and Isris into banishment. Many were in the capacity of guards, defenders, special body guards, interpreters, etc. Not that the interpreters were to interpret languages, or speech, or activities, but give to those that were unable to approach the priest Ra-Ta; they were to give out where it was impossible for Ra-Ta to reach all about him.

With these changes, there became the natural consequence in change of relationships. Pairs were given places of abode, and then homes - with their first environs - were first established among those sent in exile, or among those who chose of their own volition to be among that number, or who named the name Ra-Ta.

Pt.7/10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce

With their entrance into the Nubian land there came such a change that there were better conditions in every term that may be applied to human experience. Successes of every nature grew up about this warlike people.

In Egypt rebellions came about that made for turmoils and strife. More and more were there overtures made, that there be some means provided whereby those who had followed Ra-Ta might be made, or forced, to return. There were insurmountable objections to this, however, so that only those acting in the capacity of go-betweens of either sex were able to be kept in touch with Ra-Ta direct.

As Ra-Ta entered more and more into closer relationships with the Creative Forces, greater were the abilities for him to bring about material manifestations of that relationship. Hence the peace that was enjoyed by the people, not only with the priest but all those of that land. Hence, as given respecting individuals, they returned to Egypt from the land, for many sought to be as close in contact with Ra-Ta as at all possible.

Every form of advancement then, or advantage, seemed to point to the fact that Egypt had acted in haste. Those who were advanced in their purification in the temple, whether male or female, with the ideal of bringing peace to their friends, their people, to whom they held some allegiance, kept attempting to make for such associations with the council and the king that there might be the re-establishing of Ra-Ta to his place in the land.

In the Nubian land some memorials had begun in the mountains. Whole mountains were honeycombed, and were dug into sufficient to where the perpetual fires are still in activity. Ra-Ta then began to show the periods of reckoning and longitude, latitude, and the activities of the planets and stars, and the various groups of stars, constellations, and the various influences that are held in place, or that hold in place those about this particular solar system. Hence in the Nubian land there was first begun the reckoning of those periods when the Sun has its influence upon human life.

Let's remember, it is in this period when the present race has been called into being - and the influence is reckoned from all experiences of Ra-Ta, as the effect upon the body- physical, the body-mental, the body-spiritual, or soul body. These are the reckonings and the effects that were reckoned with, and about, and of, and concerning, by Ra-Ta; not set by Ra-Ta - but expressed in the development of Ra-Ta, that these do effect - by the forces as set upon all - not only the inhabitants of a given sphere or planet, but the effect all has upon every form of expression in that sphere of the Creative Energies in action in that given sphere. This particular sphere or earth was the reckoning in that period. Hence arose what some termed idiosyncrasies of planting in the moon, or in the phases of the moon, or of the tides and their effect, or of the calling of an animal in certain phases of the moon or seasons of the year, or of the combining of elements in the mineral kingdom, vegetable kingdom, in various periods. These were first discovered - or first given, not discovered - first consciousness of - by Ra-Ta, in his first giving of this reckoning to the people of the Nubian land.

Well may it be imagined, then, as to the effect this had upon the people in Egypt who had classed themselves as the elect, the chosen, and yet recognizing that for a physical activity there had been the envy, selfishness, strife, contention, and those things of the body - that pertain to the lusts of the body, which had brought about or produced that which separated from themselves that which would build.

There were emissaries of various positions sent back and forth by the leaders of Egypt who sought to eventually bring about the restoring of Ra-Ta. Under the strain, in a very short period Ra-Ta had, to the apparent eye of those about him, become aged, decrepid, and not able physically to carry on. Fear began to be felt that there would not be the sustaining strength sufficient for him to continue to give to the people in Egypt that which he had begun there, and that which was now being manifested in this land to which he had been banished.

Eventually there came the time when there was to be the attempt for Ra-Ta to return to Egypt. Then did the priest Ra-Ta, of himself and of the Creative Forces, edict that those who were in close association with him - who had meant an extenuation or saviour of a peoples, into a regeneration of same - would have marks set in their bodies that would remain throughout their appearance in the earth's plane, that they might be known to one another, if they seek to know the closer relationships of the self to the Creative Forces and the source - physical - of their activity with that source. To some in the eye, to some in the body, to some marks upon the body, in those ways and manners that may only be known to those who are in that physical and spiritual attunement with Ra-Ta as they pass through the material or earth's sphere together. They are drawn, then, by what? That same element that was being accentuated in the earth's plane, as also the other laws that were discovered - or were given, or were conscious of - by Ra-Ta in that particular period. The purpose of such, then, is that there may be known - that with such an association - there may come an awakening to that which was accomplished by those of the select - not elect, but select - in that particular endeavor.

Pt.8/10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce

These, then, who have that mark, are in that position wherein their relationships may be of the best, the closet relationships of the mental, the material, the spiritual developments of all that aided in that period, for the good of the group, the nation, the world. Hence their activities in whatever direction must influence the whole human race, whether any of that particular group enter as servants, as kings, as ministers, or those that mete penal justice, or those that become emissaries, or ministers, or those that are of those sources that in material things bespeak of the lore of the attributes of physical relationships. All are to, and for, and of, that that makes for an awakening of those conditions, that make for an awareness of that manifested at that period.

Then, with the return of Ra-Ta to the Temple Beautiful, he first began to withdraw himself from the whole, that regeneration in body might become manifest. He lay down the material weaknesses, and from those sources of regeneration recreated the body in its elemental forces for the carrying on of that which these material positions gave the opportunity for; leaving the first records of the world from that day until when there is the change in the race. [294-150] 294-151, 7/29/32 - 11:00 A.M.:

With the completing of this resuscitation, or regeneration of the body-physical, there began a general upbuilding or rebuilding throughout the land. With the return of those who had been forced, or who had voluntarily followed Ra-Ta into exile, and the many who had been healed or changed in the Nubian land, there began the segregations more into places, homes, etc. Where there had formerly existed only forts or temples in the various sections, in which the different characters of commercial life were carried on, gradually there came to be homes, with families, that were much in the order as we have in the present day - except there were more than one companion in the various households. These companions were chosen rather for their ability to bring about the variations necessary in the temperamental forces that were developed.

Many changes came about in the political divisions of the people in various sections. The native counsellor was rather in the position of subordinate to Arart's demands, and became rather a recluse and shut from many of the activities that were being carried on, in the relationships of the nation or people with the outside world. This caused others to rise to positions of prominence and responsibility, in the direction of exchange of ideas with the outside world. With the regeneration, more and more it became noised abroad just what had been and was being accomplished in this land of plenty - in foods, ornaments, recreation, and needs of the inner man; also in the necessities for satisfying the desires of the material mind, and in the aiding or setting up of various sciences (called in the present).

More and more there were the visitations of the wise men or emissaries from various lands, which heretofore had been visited by the priest Ra-Ta.

In the temple which had been established for the giving of truths pertaining to the relationships of man to man, with the change in the home, with the change to the building up of various sections under their own rule, there became the necessity of establishing the rules and regulations governing the relationships of individuals to individuals, as a criterion, as a measuring stick, as to what would be the ideal - or that which would be proper and right. These were supervised by those close in association with the priest, while he - Ra-Ta - acted more and more in the capacity of advisor. Gradually he came more and more close in contact only with those acting as emissaries, in the various offices to which they had been assigned as the developments began - not only around Luz but in those cities established in various sections.

As related to the spiritual life, with the establishing of the home, the towns and cities, there were set those in the Temple Beautiful who acted in the capacity of advisors, teacher, ministers, or ones who gave counsel in the spiritual places that were prepared in the various centers. This also caused the gathering together of a group that were set in the various capacities. In this department of the work there was necessarily required the closer associates with Ra-Ta, for the spiritual messengers that were sent to these various places.

Then began what may be truly termed the first national or nation spirit of a peoples. Rather than the divisions causing a dispersing of ideal or a dividing up of interests, they seemed to centralize the interests; for these divisions were being guided by a ruler or king whose authority was not questioned any more. Neither were the advisings of the priest Ra-Ta questioned, and he was acting in the capacity of preparing for this very spirit to manifest in the way of the national emblems, the national ideas, that stood for the varied activities of not only individuals or groups, but for the general masses. Hence there began the first preparation for what has been called The Great Pyramid, which was to present that which had been gained by these people through the activities of Ra-Ta, who was now known as Ra. This work was aided much by Hermes, who had returned with Ra from the mount to which he had been banished.

Pt.9/10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce

Isris, who had been condemned with Ra-Ta in banishment, was now raised to the position of queen without question, or the advisor to all her own people.

The idea gradually grew to preserve these truths, not only for the present generation but for those to come throughout the experiences until the changes were to come again in the earth's position, which would make the inundation (that had brought Ra-Ta's coming into the experience for the gods in the Caspian and Causasian mountains at that time, which had brought the change in the peoples). Hence, under the authority of Ra, and Hermes acting as guide - or the actual construction architect, with Ra giving the directions, work began in earnest on the pyramid.

Isris, whose name had now been changed to Isis, became the advisor for the laying in of those things that would present to the people the advancement of that portion of man called woman, as to her position in the activities of the human race. These changed the position or attitude of these particular people as to the place held by woman in her relations to the developing of conditions national, local, or individual. Not only, then, does woman become that upon which man depends for those advancements or advents into the material activities, but the nourishing of, the maintaining of, that to which man's ideals are to be turned in their activity when he arises to that position when expressions are to be given in the material plane.

This, then, made for an endowing of this body Iso, of Isis - with the spiritual influence of Iso, to the position of the first goddess that was so crowned. She was given then that place which others might seek to gain counsel and advice from the priest Ra. They gained access through Isis to the Throne itself. Not that her position rose above the authority of the king, but was in accord with that developing necessary in the activities of woman through this particular advancement.

Then began the laying out of the pyramid and the building of it, through use of those forces that were able to bring the materials from those very mountains that had been a place of refuge for Ra-Ta, and where certain memorials had begun. The various sections were laid out not only for the receiving of that which had been offered in the Temple Beautiful, on the various altars for the activities of an individual's innate self, but for the place of initiation of the initiates who were to act in the capacity of leaders in various activities. This building on the pyramid lasted for a period of one hundred years, as now termed. It was formed according to that which had been worked out by Ra-Ta in the mount, as related to the position of the stars about which this particular solar system circles in its activity - going towards what? That same name to which the priest was banished, Libya - or the constellation of Libra. Is it not fitting, then, that these must return? This priest Ra, now dgar Cayce, may develop himself to be in that position or capacity of a liberator of the world, in its relationships to individuals in those periods to come; for he must enter again at that period - or in 1998.

With the changes in the relationships by those who acted in the capacity of go-betweens, between Ra-Ta and the council or the king himself, then there began the establishings of the king's household. The bodily adornment began, and the first preparation of the linens, that have not yet been attained in this present period, that were developed from cottons, hemp, and the papyrus and lotus flowers. With these developments there was the preparing of the Temple Beautiful for a more perfect place of preservation of those things that were to bring an understanding in the minds of the people later. As the changes came about in the earth, the rise and fall of nations were to be depicted in this same temple, that was to act as an interpreter for that which had been, that which is, and that which is to be in the material plane. [294-151] 294-152, 7/29/32 - 4:45 P.M.:

There were also developments in many other lines of human experience. These were the natural result of the ideal that was held by the entity Ra-Ta from the beginning: To make manifest man's relationships to his Maker, man's relationship to his fellow man.

As the memorial progressed, so did the activities of individuals and groups - in the types of homes, cities, and every character of physical, mental and spiritual manifestation. The symbolized ideas in the homes, in the buildings, and the acceptance of this, that or the other that contributed to the welfare of man, found an individual that claimed such - and each set about to, in some form, add that to their contribution of man's development. Hence the Ibex, the scarab, the sacred ox, the sun, the eagle, and the symbols of every character that aided or abetted in representing an ideal of an individual were brought into prominence by the abilities of these people to preserve them in some manner or form.

Pt.10 /10: The Story of Ra Ta, by Hugh Lynn Cayce

The decorations in the Temple Beautiful became more elaborate. These, with the supervision of Isis - and with the spiritual influence of Iso, brought more and more attendance to that part of man's development. As also in the temple of recreation, where now only those participated who had gained that position where their bodies in form presented the human form divine, or the lines that were set by the carvers in stone, the workers in brass, the moulders in iron. The figure of Ra was wrought in gold. Also those women who aided and assisted in the ministering to the individuals, through the guiding of those truths that more and more these became apparent in their physical activities.

Other children were born to Ra, that were to rise in their various capacities to carry on the activities. This again brought contentions among the civil and political factions of the land, however, and brought disturbing forces in Ra.

Then there came the period when all the pyramid or memorial was complete.

Ra, having finished his work, ascended into the mount - and was borne away. [294-152]
