Death
The release of a mind/body/spirit complex from the physical body — not an ending but a gateway to further experience, the manner of which shapes the transition that follows.
What Ra means
Ra's consistent position is that physical death is a gateway, not a terminus. What awaits on the other side is further experience — review, healing, and eventual return — and the distortions that cluster around death in human culture (elaborate ritual, anxious theology, and grasping) are, in Ra's view, complications of something that is in itself simple: the aid is available, and those nearby are most helpful by releasing the departing entity peacefully and praising the process ().
How the death occurs influences the character of the transition. A natural death allows for a relatively harmonious passage; sudden, violent death — including murder — leaves the entity initially disoriented, needing time in time/space to orient itself before the review process can begin properly; death by suicide requires substantial healing work and, in Ra's framing, a renewed commitment to completing the lessons of this density (). The first body activated upon physical death is the indigo-ray or "form-maker" body, which persists until the entity has penetrated to understanding and the appropriate next body can be activated ().
Before veiling, Ra notes, death was understood clearly as transition — not an ending — which paradoxically made third-density experience pale and lacking in intensity. The veil that hides the continuity is what gives each incarnation its urgency, its keen edge ().
In Ra's words
Death as a gateway corrected from elaborate ritual distortions — what those present can actually offer:
These drawings of which you speak are some of many which distort the teaching of our perception of death as the gateway to further experience. The distortions concern those considerations of specific nature as to processes of the so-called “dead” mind/body/spirit complex. This may be termed, in your philosophy, the distortion of Gnosticism: that is, the belief that one may achieve knowledge and a proper position by means of carefully perceived and accentuated movements, concepts, and symbols.
In fact, the process of the physical death is as we have described before: one in which there is aid available, and the only need at death is the releasing of that entity from its body by those around it and the praising of the process by those who grieve. By these means may the mind/body/spirit which has experienced physical death be aided, not by the various perceptions of careful and repeated rituals.
How the manner of death shapes the transition: natural, by murder, by suicide:
We presume you mean to inquire whether in the death experience, no matter what the cause, the negative friends are not able to remove an entity. This is correct largely because the entity without the attachment to the space/time physical complex is far more aware and without the gullibility which is somewhat the hallmark of those who love wholeheartedly.
However, the death, if natural, would undoubtedly be the more harmonious; the death by murder being confused and the entity needing some time/space in which to get its bearings, so to speak; the death by suicide causing the necessity for much healing work and, shall we say, the making of a dedication to the third density for the renewed opportunity of learning the lessons set by the higher self.
The indigo-ray form-maker body as the first to activate at physical death:
Not immediately. The first body which activates itself upon death is the “form-maker,” or the indigo-ray body. This body remains—you have called it the “ka”—until etherea has been penetrated and understanding has been gained by the mind/body/spirit totality.
