Thought-form

A construct of thought rather than chemistry — the means by which higher-density beings manifest temporarily into space/time, and the medium through which the mind/body/spirit complex totality stores its accumulated beingness.

What Ra means

Ra uses thought-form in two distinct ways that share a single underlying principle: thought, given sufficient concentration and intentionality, can be impressed upon material reality to create temporary visible structure. The most vivid historical use Ra describes is its own approach to the early Egyptians — Ra and its social memory complex materialized as physical-chemical complexes resembling their natures as closely as possible, entering by thought-form rather than incarnation, to appear as brothers and teachers (23.6). The pyramid-building that followed also began this way: the Great Pyramid was first formed entirely by thought, then later structures used earthly materials (23.6).

Ra's account of the partial-materialization process in the pyramid building shows the mechanics: as thought is impressed upon the living stone, the release of intelligent infinity absorbs the interlocking dimensions briefly, and the thought-form beings begin to materialize but do not remain visible (27.2). What appears during this process is the social memory complex's thought-form manifestation — neither fully time/space nor fully space/time, but flickering between. A related process is described for constructing the crystal bell instrument: a thought construct formed in time/space was clothed through the boundary into space/time, yielding both an immaterial and a materialized construct at once (70.19).

Beyond these external applications, the concept applies inward as well. The mind/body/spirit complex totality — the Higher Self resource left as a gift from future selfness — is itself described as a type of infinitely complex thought-form that the late sixth-density entity uses alongside the memory of lived experience (37.6). Thought-forms appear at still more ordinary scales: Confederation entities use thought-form vehicles in response to subconscious expectations of those they contact (53.13), and even a thought-form tied to self/other-self fantasy can increase the probability of third-density actualization (16.56).

In Ra's words

Ra's social memory complex arriving by thought-form — the partial-materialization described:

Consider, if you will, the intelligent infinity present in the absorption of livingness and beingness as it becomes codified into intelligent energy due to the thought impressions of those assisting the living stone into a new shape of beingness. The release and use of intelligent infinity for a brief period begins to absorb all the consecutive, or interlocking, dimensions, thus offering brief glimpses of those projecting to the material their thought. These beings thus beginning to materialize but not remaining visible. These beings were the thought-form, or third-density-visible, manifestation of our social memory complex as we offered contact from our intelligent infinity to the intelligent infinity of the stone.

27.2.2-5

The thought construct formed in time/space, clothed into space/time — two simultaneous constructs:

A construct of thought was formed in time/space. This portion of time/space is that which approaches the speed of light. In time/space, at this approach, the conditions are such that time becomes infinite and mass ceases so that one which is able to skim the, shall we say, boundary strength of this time/space is able to become placed where it will.

When we were where we wished to be, we then clothed the construct of light with that which would appear as the crystal bell. This was formed through the boundary into space/time. Thus there were two constructs: the time/space (or immaterial) construct, and the space/time (or materialized) construct.

70.19.3-8

The mind/body/spirit complex totality as an infinitely complex thought-form:

This self, the mind/body/spirit complex of late sixth density, has then the honor/duty of using both the experiences of its total living bank, or memory, of experienced thoughts and actions and using the resource of the mind/body/spirit complex totality left behind as a type of infinitely complex thought-form.

In this way you may see your self, your higher self or oversoul, and your mind/body/spirit complex totality as three points in a circle. The only distinction is that of your time/space continuum. All are the same being.

37.6.5-8

Confederation thought-form vehicles shaped by the subconscious expectations of seekers:

The subconscious expectations of entities cause the nature and detail of thought-form experience offered by Confederation thought-form entities. Thus if a wanderer expects a physical examination, it will, perforce, be experienced with as little distortion towards alarm or discomfort as is allowable by the nature of the expectations of the subconscious distortions of the wanderer.
